I don't think that fact is an 'idea'; if something can't be proven to be true, it isn't a fact. We should consider calling it something else.

The concept that needs revising is our understanding of social media posts as being automatically considered 'facts'.

If it can't be proven, if we can't trust any vehicle to independently verify its veracity, then we simply have to check as many sources as we can and consider it as a possibility, not a fact.

People are so naive to think that the big tech firms don't know exactly what theyre doing. They all more or less operate the same way.

If someone is a top performer within a highly valued part of the org, then one way or another they will be able to navigate RTO without serious problems.

For everyone else, RTO is a dial for management to fine tune voluntary attrition before having to resort to more unpleasant tools like higher PIP quotas, at a time where big tech firms all still need to cut employee costs.
Some may be shortsighted, but others are often an act of desperation. Keeping everyone on the books isn't worth anything if you can't make payroll.
+1 for this - I've essentially replaced all of my local tooling for my own projects as well as where I work with nix. Consistent, stable environments that include every dependency have been a breath of fresh air for development across the board. Being able to build lightweight containers from these nix derivations that match the local env perfectly is a huge bonus - you can even stream directly from the nix store into remote docker registries with something like nix2container!

What happened to Pixar? Their storytelling used to be second to none. But most of their latest films have been so lacking that I haven’t even bothered to watch the last few. In fact, the last one I saw was Onward on the very day the theaters closed down for the pandemic. It was… okay. A bit of a disappointment. They have lost something special they used to have.
Similarly about the idolm@ster.

> The language is called Go. The "golang" moniker arose because the web site was originally golang.org. (There was no .dev domain then.) Many use the golang name, though, and it is handy as a label. For instance, the Twitter tag for the language is "#golang". The language's name is just plain Go, regardless.

This gives Disney plenty of time to have them train their replacements.
It doesn’t generate three responses for every turn. It randomly picks a model for every response, the claim being that the switching between different models leads to better conversations because of the diversity of each model’s training.
You mean they bought a house assuming they could WFH and the RTO mandate forced them to quit since it was too far away? Or they said no to the ultimatum and bought a house elsewhere?
From what I’ve experienced, having an open dispute doesn’t prevent healthcare providers from sending you to collections and permanently ruining your credit.
I've been pretty happy with HK augmented by Homebridge. However, I'd go out of my mind if it weren't for the Controller for HomeKit app[^1] to allow backup and restore, and it's still not perfect due to Apple restrictions on how third-party apps are allowed to interact with HK. Controller also is the only way to access more advanced automation options that are impossible to do through the Home app.

Just the other day after a power outage, three Nanoleaf bulbs in my home refused to rejoin HK and I had to repair them. That meant deleting them from HK first. Fortunately I was able to use Controller to restore most of the scenes/automations that involved those bulbs. But it was tedious and didn't restore everything.

At this point I'm seriously considering switching to Home Assistant to act as my HK automation hub. That would give me the best of everything: local control, HA for programming, and using my Apple devices to turn things on and off.

Bronson said what is intended with my now deleted post.

And considering the landfills that are filled with things that replaced "expensive" goods like a Bell phone—maybe the tradeoff isn't worth it?

I doubt any consumers then had heard about 'economic externalities' (in fact, I'm not sure enough have heard about it now).
Why would the "best talent" leave? Are they worried they're going to get laid off? Or were they just looking for an excuse to leave?
Our experience:

1) Sales didn't know WTF they were doing. Incorrect info we had to waste time sorting out, confused when we asked them about a use case for which they had an entire-ass prominent landing page with a top level link on the home page.

2) They gave no fucks about our mostly-CDN needs. All their enterprise plans were oriented around selling us a bucket of other crap that we didn't need. We weren't able to get them under $4kish no matter what, and even at $5k there wasn't enough pre-allocated transfer to keep us from hitting metered billing. They were not interested in talking about adjusting the price down by removing all that stuff, or almost any other customization. We just needed to sling bits, and a few features directly related to that. The result was that they were not at all price competitive with our other options.

3) They were the least-hungry sales folks I've ever interacted with. It was a weird experience. They didn't act like we were annoying them or anything, they just acted like they were totally unmotivated to make a sale. Every question, no matter how simple, seemed to give them pause, and set them to musing as if they'd never even considered it. Never seen anything like it. Maybe mid-five-figures a year is too small-fish for them and we were talking to the not-even-actually-sales-folks screeners who keep the actual salespeople from wasting their time?

My guess (based solely on that experience) was that their sales organization had crazy turnover (even worse than a typical sales org), awful training/mentoring, and possibly not-great hiring. But IDK.

We did end up using the $200 "self-serve" plan because it's 1) the only self-serve plan with any kind of SLA at all, and 2) actually a pretty fuckin' good deal for the things it provides. They weren't even in our top-3 for our heavier CDN needs, though.
> Every time I bring this up, they go all defensive. They would not change their habit a little bit.

This is the biggest issue, and I'm honestly shocked that so many supposed adults in positions of authority have basically taken the position of "I like to smoke, so it's not that bad, I'm ok right? Don't insult me by saying I'm negatively affected. Of course we shouldn't control or ban this."

It's incredibly....childish. I picture 5 year olds tucking into ice-cream, and with the sugar high, just throwing absolute tantrums when you try take it away from them.

Drugs are bad, marijuana needs to be controlled like all drugs, and harsh actions need to be taken now to arrest this slide otherwise there is no turning back already.

>was both positive and negative.

I see what you did there...
Yes, you are exactly correct! Vitamin D and exercise share a common result. They both increase and maintain our body’s growth hormone production at healthy levels which is the prime driver of a healthy T cell cancer/virus killing immune system function!! Chronic growth hormone deficiency is at epidemic levels in adults and increasingly in young adults that is weakening our killer T cell immune system function and causing cancer at unprecedented levels!! Sadly, most physicians who read this will roll their eyes because they think they know it all! If they did we wouldn’t have such record levels of disease and death today!!
Which is why you should only trust things with E2E encryption.
Well let’s see how long that lasts. I have always been a multi platform guy, but I have all but dropped Microsoft products because of ads. I have a perfectly good surface I haven’t booted in almost a year because of how terrible it got after the windows 11 upgrade.

Hardly.

1) Coral Edge TPU chip has 8 MB SRAM; for comparison, Whisper Tiny (https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny) is 40M parameters, and most of LLMs have billions of parameters.

2) I would be surprised if Coral Edge TPU supports all TensorFlow ops required to run Transformers. The chip was designed with convolutional networks in mind.
I think what they are saying is that they're being too unreliable/unprofessional. Like "whoops, my grandpa spilled is coffee on the server so we're down again." This is not the vibe that I'm getting from their messaging and this is the first time in my 2ish years of paying that I've ever felt impacted.
> For this reasons I have no smart light bulbs in my house.

hmm... wonder why bulbs can't fail normal.

maybe they should make bulbs with a deadman switch. If they don't get a "ping" from a controller in a certain amount of time, they revert to normal light bulbs?

or yeah... smart switches.
I think there’s a bit of survivorship bias in the tech industry. Many of us got into tech because we were able to explore computers with few limitations. But I’m not convinced it was mostly due to the tech of the 90s being more open.

We are the ones who did that kind of stuff, so we’re a filtered audience posting on HN about tinkerable software. We likely tinkered for a lot of reasons that didn’t have much to do what tech was like - we had unfettered access to tech in some form, for instance, or we were encouraged to do so by our parents or society or our peers.

Making our tech more accessible is a fine goal, but that’s likely not the biggest blocker for the next generation of technologists. Rather, I'm starting to think that, given recent advancements in UI, social media, etc. our belief of what makes a great engineer is totally off base for what we’ll actually need in the next decade.
To the contrary, setting an employment target and maintaining high interest rates if that target is exceeded is prima facie evidence of coercion.
Domestic numbers for Turning Red have not been reported, and the movie is mostly streaming on Disney+. You can’t jump to conclusions about losses.

Also pay extra special attention to the warnings you find on the “sources” for this data: https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/budgets

“Note: Budget numbers for movies can be both difficult to find and unreliable. Studios often try to keep the information secret and will use accounting tricks to inflate or reduce announced budgets.”

If Disney was really losing that much money repeatedly, they would stop making movies. And yet they don’t stop, but they do keep making it look like they’re not very profitable. Why?
Maybe the idea was to have more users opt-in? 30% more users? or at least not leaving?
> this debt uses cash flows such as fee streams and equity returns as collateral.

Sounds a bit like what some European football (soccer) clubs do (to their determent at times) selling future earnings to secure financing. I think Barcelona did something like this selling part of their future TV revenue income to secure financing.
WSJ didn't get the memo. Most "promotions" aren't worth it. You get more responsibility with very little boost in compensation.

> had some serious design problems that they had tried to fix in software

The problem was not the aerodynamic design. It was the software that granted too much authority to the MCAS system and the MCAS system relying on a single sensor.

Both those problems have been fixed.

A further problem was two crews not remembering how to deal with runaway stabilizer trim (it's supposed to be a "memory item").

Generally what is in the popular press about the MAX is wrong.
Time Zone, English proficiency, familiar tax and legal regime and cultural affinity? When you get basically the same employee for 50% less, that's really appealing.

The people in the "real low cost area" aren't the same employee - I'm not saying they are less capable, but most companies are afraid of the significant hidden costs when trying to go too cheap this way.
Are you sure this is true? I used Spark a few years back and my work actually froze my account because Spark was accessing it from THEIR server so it showed up for our security team as a leaked password.
You mistakenly assume those making the lists of employees to be fired actually know, or care, about quality of said employees.
That’s a bold strategy. We’ll see if it works out for you.
That isn't right. When the Wright Brothers went on tour to advertise their new contraption called the airplane, that was advertising, and it wasn't manipulation. Maybe someone could have argued they were just selling snake oil back then, but in retrospect.

Ideally speaking of course, there is room to advertise stuff. Like advertising a vaccine so you don't get sick or die; sure the vaccine maker is also going to make money on giving you that vaccine, but it is still an ad that might be "ehtical."
I'm curious when this was recorded, but my guess is early 2000s or maybe late 1990s?

With how Apple has avoided ever becoming a monopoly in pretty much any area, and instead tries to just take the top most profitable customers, it really meshes well with this idea of not becoming a monopoly and having the company rot.

Edit: looks like this might be from Triumph of the Nerds, a series released on PBS in 1996. So before Jobs' return to Apple and Apple's turn around.

I feel like rental cars are one of the worst places for the current generation of EVs.

This was my recent experience. I was offered an EV car as a rental upgrade in a major city because the local rental place didn't have an EV charger. I figured what the hell because it was a relaxed holiday vacation. Turns out that was a hilariously bad idea.

Ended up spending at least 5-6 hours of my week vacation trying to avoid the EV going to 0% battery. Half of that time was spent on Google Maps - trying to find chargers with the right plug, ones that aren't broken, ones that were available, downloading various apps, etc. Then when I did find a charger I sat in the parking lot waiting for it to juice up.

All of that effort and I still could only give myself the miles back that I spent finding chargers, it was even funnier when the cold weather took miles away. Finally ended up luckily finding one at a local movie theater and asked family to shuttle me back and forth because of how long it took to charge.

Not a knock on EV's really, mostly the charging infrastructure and the rental experience.
Was it? I never saw it because my wife and the kids saw it and they said it sucked.

I think it’s more the FACT we have closed state mental hospitals in favor of releasing mentally ill people on society. It’s not just marijuana users either, I’m not sure of the exact numbers but mental illness is more prevalent in people born during the Millenial generation moving forward today. The real difference isn’t the potency of cannabis, it’s the FACT that not “One” but they all “Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Bring back state mental health institutions and dollars to doughnuts we WILL be in a safer and more productive society.
I am planning to do this soon(TM).

Probably starting with ESPHome to control my heat pumps over IR.

The remote works but I forget to turn it off when not in one of the rooms, and it can't do smarts like keeping temperatures in desired bounds.

An ESP32 running ESPHome with high power IR LED, a presence sensor, temperature sensor, and some pre-built library to control heat pumps[1]. it looks like it should be fairly simple to implement with Home assistant.

Now if I could only disable the beep from the heat pumps receiving commands.

I would like to do smarter lighting, but the lack of decent smart light switches that support local control and are also licenced for use in AU are a blocker there.

Can someone answer this question for me? By now, a ton of companies have done layoffs explaining that they overhired during COVID. These hires had to have come from somewhere, presumably other industries. What happened to those industries? Do they not want workers back? Did those jobs go away? Or do people just not want to go back to them?
Kudos to Casey Newton. Looking forward to his informal breakdown on Hard Fork podcast tomorrow.

Not these days, where most people are using evergreen browsers and iOS users upgrade very quickly.

Take a look at the defaults for browserslist, for example:

https://browsersl.ist/#q=defaults

It just barely supports Safari 15, on iOS only, and that’s likely to go away imminently because it’s under 1% usage.

Browserslist is used by a huge proportion of web developers and the tools that they use, with millions of downloads a week. It has nothing to do with native apps and everything to do with the web.
Notwithstanding that what matters to the Apache shouldn't be anyone's decision but the Apache, I think this is more important than you realize. Part of maintaining an identity and culture (particularly under a constant state of ethnic and cultural attack and oppression) is having some control over how and where that identity and culture are used. This is a right we simply assume, without question, for ourselves in numerous contexts.

If the Apache have no rights to their own name, or if no such rights are respected, then they have less status in our society than even fictional characters, which are at least protected by copyright. Why should it be the case that no one can use "Mickey Mouse" but everyone can use "Apache?" At least the Apache are real.

And if that's the case, there's no chance of anything greater being resolved. One cannot take the big steps if even the small steps are impossible.
I was pretty disappointed in this article; I was expecting a deep dive into the merger and its effects, but I all I got was the surface-level stuff that everyone repeats over and over, without any verification that any of it is really the reason.

As other sibling posters have mentioned, it feels like there was a lot more to it. Sure, the McDonnell Douglas executives taking over Boeing after the merger certainly didn't help, but the regulatory, competitive, and economic environment had changed drastically by that time. I do wonder if the causality is a little reversed: the McD-D CEO taking the reigns at Boeing may have been more the effect of these shifts, a reaction to the relatively new shareholder pressure to control costs.
That seems fine! The end goal isn't just to climb the ladder, if people are happier with more personal freedom at the cost of a promotion, it's fine! Let them do that.
