When you openly laugh at someone, who isn't being intentionally funny, it is widely regarded as a sign that you don't respect them. Those sorts of things are commonly apprehended as something called an "insult" in modern society.
You're welcome! I stumbled across it by coincidence today and had an epiphany, "Whoa, forget DeFi - it never occurred to me how important decentralized archiving is. What if archive.org goes down? How would we rebuild?" Thanks for making this!
I completely agree. Had they opened with that, I would have no objections to the way they handled it at all.

Funnily enough, the CHIPS Act has provisions that require recipients of grants of a certain amount to provide childcare to employees. That might be the way of the future if we explicitly subsidize more and more industries directly...
Yes, this was the natural consequence of my rule. I have to travel on business from time to time and didn’t want a tech support call in the middle of the night when I’m halfway around the world because my family couldn’t turn the lights on :-)
The biggest incentive to lock down wasn't listed. It's economic.

If you can guide, or shoehorn, people into using your service, and it's 'good enough,' you can make a lot more money than if you're doing custom one-offs for everyone, or writing a bunch of potentially buggy code for different variations, or having your team troubleshoot integrations. An important point too is that, if one person sees another person using the app, and it's a standard unified experience, that helps its spread too.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair. I personally would vote for not locking products down, but that's what we're up against.
I don't know about you, but my landlord keeps a cabinet of keys for every unit on the property. When they come to make even a routine maintenance call, they have already obtained my permission to enter, and if I don't answer the door, then they key right in.

Check your lease; YMMV; most people aren't actually allowed to tamper with their door locks. Shocker, I know, right? When the Constable comes to evict you, your landlord/owner's going to have the keys to let him in.
I wasn't suggesting it for laughs. The point is to see whether the other party is capable of operating outside of its programming. Racism is "illegal" to LLMs.

Gangs do it too. Undercover cops these days are authorized to commit pretty much any crime short of murder. So to join their gang, you have to kill a rival member.
The USP of Turo is that you know exactly which car you are getting. So, for instance, if you're going somewhere snowy you can be certain that you will get a car with 4 wheel drive and snow tires (rather than the 2WD jeep on old summer tires that I have sometimes ended up with from airport rentals). If you are renting a car to move a large item, you can look up the measurements and be sure it will fit rather than be stuck with a cargo van or a car much bigger than you need.

Because for the airlines, their ONLY other option is to put themselves on the end of a very long waiting list with Airbus.

Yes, Embraer, Sukhoi, Bombardier, and Mitsubishi have/had limited offerings but only in very select configurations. None sell an A321/737 equivalent.

So, the airlines bet that Boeing is not going to keep selling deadly airplanes, and will fix the Max, and they can keep their place in line.

It's a problem that the airline manufacturing industry is a duopoly but interestingly, it doesn't seem like the market can support more than a small number of players. Despite the fact that the airline industry has exploded and demand for new airplanes has grown with it, certain econonomies of manufacturing have meant that a lot of mergers and bankruptcies and consolidation happened.
Yet the true mental adolescence and gymnastics through this post is the abject failure to furnish even one example of a business which can be considered ethical, instead choosing to believe the false notion we can live, work and shop without consequence.
Your best talent at a company like this knows they aren't going to get fired.

In fact at a company like this, your best talent probably wishes the bottom 10% would get trimmed because they produce so little relative to higher performers.
why are these idiots in charge opposed to EV? AI is already finding alternatives to cobalt and lithium mining so that won't be a thing for much longer.
Working in the best interests of shareholders is fine.

The problem is that because Boeing has a US monopoly and global duopoly on large jets neither the regulators or customers are willing to punish them when they under perform. Boeing has become too big to fail.
I can’t find anything about that. As far as I can tell, the optional AOA indicator would also include the disagree alert which would tell the pilots something is wrong with the sensors, but that had nothing do to with MCAS per se. They still had no idea there’s this whole new system that uses only one of the sensors and repeatedly trims down. Even after the first crash they only went as far as recommend going through the runaway trim procedure without explaining or even acknowledging MCAS’s existence. The pattern of omission is downright criminal.
If you're in a stable business like groceries where you can be confident that your market will still be around in 25 years, sure. But that doesn't apply to a lot of businesses.

That's interesting. I have not looked into using the Apple ecosystem, but just assumed it was all centered around the HomePod. Not needing the Homepod now makes me more interested
This really resonates. The neat think about software that doesn't actively resist tinkering is you can make it do things nobody expected or thought possible.

> You can replace a significant proportion of the grid with intermittent generation without any trouble.

Yes, in some locations. That’s a no brainer and where it’s economical it’s already happening. But unpredictable supply particularly needs on-demand energy. Nuclear can’t respond quickly, so if you don’t have hydro you’re likely left with gas.

> Use whatever you want to charge electric car batteries because they're batteries and most cars are parked >90% of the time.

Agreed. We have some way to go with universal infrastructure support for that though.

> You can can't shift 100% of the load based on time of day through pricing, but you can do a non-trivial amount.

Possibly. The major sources today are heating, AC, fridges. Cooking will come up there if you remove gas. In either case, industrial and commercial are ~60% of use and how do we move that significantly out of peak hours?
How does this apply to e.g. the Bell System?

>An organization that wants people to come to work at their detriment is one that doesn't value their people, and this is how they are expressing it.

Yes this is the entire point. They want to turn up both voluntary attrition or be able to fire for cause. Either way they get to lighten their employee costs which is the goal.
Fair enough. But this should have been written in your first comment, not the closing one.

Or there is the third option: do the layoffs, immediately cut access, then give a generous amount of severance with benefits.
There was nothing like Star Wars when it appeared. I watched it outside the US and remember being absolutely blown away.

My kid doesn't care about Star Wars nearly as much as I do, obviously - but the big thing about it are the memories from when I first watched it. It would be great to see a new Star Wars movie that can engage kids today in the same way it engaged us so many years ago.

Also, have in mind that a lot of old blockbuster movies can look silly today (Sound of Music is one I watched recently), but you have to appreciate them with the proper time period context.

BLS data[0] indicate over 30% of married couples with children have a stay-at-home parent, and census data[1] indicate over 20% of childcare is provided by a non-parent relative. So family providing care is quite normal and close to the majority of the supply of childcare.

This is correct. Our rent is about the same as childcare
Animation is probably less capital-intensive than live-action film-making, but more labor-intensive given the need to care for each frame. But so long as you have an abundance of time, you can make a movie on your own.

Surprisingly, you also don't need to draw very well to animate. (But it will help a lot if you can.) There are crude works of animation that still found success (maybe more observable in the US than Japan), like South Park and Don Hertzfeldt's works. These examples might even illustrate that audiences care more about the writing than the drawings.

The tricky part may be finding an audience. There's so much content on the web, that it may still help to exhibit works in human-curated forums like film festivals. Somehow, then-student Don Hertzfeldt found his way into Cannes, where he probably gained much more exposure. Later, Don Hertzfeldt and Mike Judge (of Beavis and Butthead fame) supported other animators find exposure by hosting The Animation Show (last held in 2008).

There are plenty of film festivals showcasing animation today, shorts and feature-length, but I wonder which ones would be most effective. The dream of "breaking in" with a film festival screening has allured many aspiring film-makers, to the extent that scammers even start their own film festivals for the sake of collecting exorbitant entry fees (which doesn't guarantee being showcased at the festival). With film-makers having to pay entry fees for numerous festivals to increase chances of finding the right audience, the "marketing" fee can become more expensive than an indie production itself.

I wonder how solo or skeleton-crew animators would "break in" and find an audience today.
From what I recall, the tax credit is used for products that aren't yet available to the market.

So let's say a company needs 5 years to build some new hardware. Those 5 years of labor and expenses are all R&D.

I think that's why this is such a big deal. I could be wrong though.

My comment was made 10 hours before that reply, so I didn't have that context. Sorry.

> Would an ASi machine and Dedicated GPU with the same amount of respective RAM have the same performance compute-wise?

Not sure, but performance comes after making sure you have enough VRAM to run your workload in the first place. I doubt an ASi chip would beat most datacenter-class training cards, but if a consumer just wants to train a model locally without much regard for getting the best possible performance, there is more value-for-money.

Nah, layoffs are too random. Being the best on your team doesn’t matter if the division is cut, or if the VP is making the call, or if your manager is disfavored, etc.

Most of the (risk averse) great folks I know have purposely found safe harbor over the past ~2 years.
Why do want to continue using iTunes?

(also off-topic)

I inquire because I would actually like to do the same – newer versions of the Music app are a usability and visual downgrade. Album view, for example, only shows six fixed-dimension covers, no matter how wide your screen is. Clicking on an album takes you to another screen – annoying! I just want to see the tracklist.

I have a 2018 Macbook that's still running Mojave because I vastly prefer the UI overall. I pray for a UI refresh/patch every WWDC but Apple doesn't really seem to be taking it seriously. Sonoma is an improvement, but there are still so many inconsistent or unpolished areas of the post-Catalina interface style. The cyan-blue folders are still awful; filename selection highlights in Finder aren't centered; the taskbars have become comically large. Small details, but embarrassing for a company of such design pedigree.
I appreciate that you're trying to drill down and improve your understanding of such environments, which you obviously do not have much knowledge of. I'm limited in how much specific information I can disclose, but I'm certain that I'm not the only one who has worked in these environments and faced these challenges.

Here's a hypothetical example of a situation closely matching some of my experiences:
A long-term support contract exists for some legacy system that cannot be updated because it is under configuration control. The contract involves peripheral development activities, which are best done with the most modern tools available. The whole environment is airgapped, and has security protocols that require security updates to the peripheral development systems, and these are done under a strict and bureaucratic review process. The legacy system interoperates with the development system via a single network connection, which is monitored by a separate entity. (The system is airgapped, but is part of a larger airgapped network, and is protected from unauthorized access even within the airgapped environment.)
So you've got a new environment talking to a legacy environment via SSH, and they need to share a common security algorithm. If a new development environment is spun up, and its SSH client does not support the legacy algorithm, then a long and complex delay occurs in which multi-level approvals are required from bureaucrats who are generally not qualified to understand the problem, and are thus inclined to deny approval, to introduce the legacy SSH client software, which will be compared with the modern SSH client for any change history related to security issues, which would include the deletion of these security algorithms. The legacy SSH client would be assumed to be a security risk by the ignorant bureaucrats, and a months-to-years-long process ensues to convince them otherwise.

You need an AppleTV or HomePod to act as the hub. Without that, you get no automation nor ability to control devices from outside your home. An AppleTV is also needed for Thread support. Using an iPad for a hub is deprecated and not supported in the new architecture.

You can of course use HomeKit devices with Home Assistant in both directions. HA can obviously serve as the automation hub for HK devices ("accessories" in HK parlance) and HA can expose itself to HK so you can control HA devices through an iPhone, iPad or Mac.
well the created_at/updated_at (these arnt the names of the colums, but still) are from when my macbook synced and not when the actual contact was created. useful, but not what i needed.
This was the situation I found myself in recently. I would have been more than happy to rent an electric car, but charging infrastructure was a big, unknown variable.
It sounds like this is the real “late stage capitalism” where the contradictions in the system are causing it to eat itself.

My experience with ChatGPT is that rarely it apologises or attempts to fix something that is correct, though sometimes it does apologise and give you an alternative or the exact same working solution.

Found another small bug...

When you eat a ghost, the dots under the ghost don't get eaten. So you skip over 1-2 dots at higher levels when eating a ghost. Then you have to go back to snag them.
The assumption that anything is "100%" is absurdist. It is not a meaningful or useful discourse.
iPads are deprecated as hubs and not supported in the new architecture. HomePods are notoriously unreliable as hubs, but that may be due to folks who have spotty WiFi in their homes. It's best to have a wired AppleTV to act as a hub.

My experience renting a model 3 from hertz was both positive and negative.

At first, it was hard since I've never owned a model 3. Even if you are a model 3 owner, you are probably used to using your phone as the key.

They give you a keycard.

anyway, I didn't know how to lock the doors. finally I figured out the lock symbol on the central display and locked the doors. But when I got out, they were unlocked again. The trick was to open the door first, press the lock icon, get out and close the doors.

The easy way to lock the doors... Well, you can google it and find out, it is not intuitive, but easy once you learn.

Now renting a car that can drive itself was wonderful. I had to put a lot of miles on and it helped.

Finding charging is easy -- it is all built into the display. You can navigate and it will integrate charging into your trip. I was already familiar with this, but if you're unfamiliar it might be something to learn. There ARE superchargers everywhere, and L2 chargers everywhere else.

I had to do level 2 charging (J1772) and it I had to call hertz to figure out where the adapter was. (It was in a bag in the footwell of the trunk). Once I had that I could charge at hotels.

Hertz did spam me with lots of "get to know the model 3 before your trip" stuff. I should have read it a bit.

I'd argue Patreon is dedicated enough.

If we're talking about remuneration, the audience/customer don't really want a "dedicated platform" since that's not the only thing they do, unlike the artists themselves. Or in other words, dedicated platform (like deviantart) is fine but it won't attract the largest audience.
Exactly. Companies really don't care as much about talent and performance as people think they do. Most of the time good enough is good enough. And companies almost always prefer attrition to layoffs or firings. Corporations are very conflict averse by nature.

This is directly parallel with non-containerized workflows. Dev servers often incorporate hot-reload and debugging. Production servers are polished with fewer entry points

No good answers here. They're both bad, but in different ways, and I suspect that whether one is worse than the other is probably a matter of personality type.
