> Further, given an illness that kills with lets say 50%, and that is influenced also by genetics: If we can now cure that, so make more people survive and reproduce with this, while factors and genetics stay: isn't it expected we may see this illness raise in the population?

Illness that doesn't kill before reproduction is irrelevant. Evolution is about spamming copies of yourself more than other strains of organism, and getting cancer at 45-55 is moot if you have 3 kids and a retirement plan mostly completed before then.

plus genetically we're still basically cavemen, even if you can find pressures for things like dairy or alcohol tolerance in certain populations.
France have done better than most, largely due to building their fleet before Chernobyl, but even they have long term maintenance and cost overrun problems that led to shortages: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/2022/08/26/edf-s-n...

And the EDF reactor project in the UK is of course overrunning on time and budget.

(when is the next French nuclear reactor new build scheduled to come on line?)
I'm going to go out on a limb and claim there's more than enough water for the people - the area is just unsuitable for the economic activity a small fraction of those people engages in. Move that.
You are free to label a time period a recession, just like the media is free to refer to the NBER’s labeling of a time period as a recession.
Yeah the tweet starts out with:

> We fired ~40 sales people out of over 1,500 in our go to market org. That’s a normal quarter. When we’re doing performance management right, we can often tell within 3 months or less of a sales hire, even during the holidays, whether they’re going to be successful or not.

Which sounds like they have an implicit probationary "we'll fire you in <= 3 mos. if you don't make a sale" that--according to the video--isn't communicated by managers or written in hiring contracts.
Hope it works for you! I'm in London; some close friends also lost their jobs a week before Xmas and are completely desperate.

Statistically, factually, there is no recession. If anything a big chunk of the media likes to pick out anecdotes like this and say there is a recession when there isn't.
If they layoff it restricts them in a few ways:
1. Usually you have to pay severance.

I agree with your point of "sped up life". Some written content has a main point and exists to transmit you that main point. In those case speeding up that is a good thing. On the other hand, some written content is a journey, and transmit things through experience.

For example, "bad" documentation that forces you to learn a tool from first principles to do anything with it will produce lots of non-users, and some users with a deep understanding of the tool. If you replace that "bad" documentation with a cheatlist or cookbook or how-to, you may produce way more users, but they won't be forced to acquire the level of skill and knowledge that previous users had.

For some people quickly extracting the main point of Meditations will be how the book can have the most impact on them. For others it will be being forced to plan for some reading time to get through the book. For others it may be the process of searching the most useful form of the book, or even creating it. That seems far stretched, but I think you can learn a lot by trying to expose people to Meditations.
evernote falling apart is a sad day :( I loved it before the monetization changees killed it.
It is probably cheaper to do Solar PV due to unit economics rather than overall system efficiency. There's been a lot written on learning curves and wright's law, but rate of improvement is driven by design complexity and need for customization. Concentrating solar is both more complicated and needs more site customization, whereas solar pv modules are simpler and fly out of factories by the millions.

There is no consumer/hobbyist use case for an entire subnet worth of IPs. I can guarantee that whatever you want to do (and whatever people here are suggesting) can be achieved with a single public address. If you actually own this range, and don't have founding a networking company on your bucket list, your best bet is to sell it (can get something like $35K for it right now).
As an employee I think every time you do that you are burning some credibility (assuming you are honest about your work history)
So basically pump seawater up from the Gulf of California across the border over a flat floodplain to the Salton Sea (south of joshua tree) and use cheap PV to run desalination plants that will restore one of our biggest environmental disasters https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/sea-worth-salt back into a vacation hotspot greater than Palm Springs.

Costs of the PV and desal (relatively cheap but still absurdly expensive in absolute terms at this scale) will be offset by real estate development and hand-wavey mineral extraction from the sea water.

Environmental impacts of desal's salty waste stream is hand-waved away.

I mean, economic math miiight pencil out. But basing the speculative prosperity of an entire region on a bunch of water and energy machines seems... well... fragile? Full of hubris? Seems like a really expensive way of maintaining an otherwise-unsustainable Potemkin vacation village.

But then again, that's basically the story of the american southwest, so, /shrug? (see Cadillac Desert and all the water stories out there...)
I'm glad an AI researcher is posting their personal thoughts. As a fellow researcher and developer in the AI space, I conceptualize AGI as a self-domain-learning entity that is able to manage itself and understand how to affect/intervene its actions and effectual consequences (humans don't reach this on a general level until early teens to mid twenties, if ever). Walking is a solid example of this at a specific level. Singleton objective functions and patterns across probabilities of states are insufficient -- there needs to be ongoing interpretation and architecture extrapolation.

In short -- current AI approaches are great at interpolation and still perform poorly at most extrapolation exercises that a human can take on.

Checkout Solitaire by Bruce Schneier [1].

> In Neal Stephenson’s novel Cryptonomicon, the character Enoch Root describes a cryptosystem code-named “Pontifex” to another character named Randy Waterhouse, and later reveals that the steps of the algorithm are intended to be carried out using a deck of playing cards. These two characters go on to exchange several encrypted messages using this system. The system is called “Solitaire” (in the novel, “Pontifex” is a code name intended to temporarily conceal the fact that it employs a deck of cards) and I designed it to allow field agents to communicate securely without having to rely on electronics or having to carry incriminating tools. An agent might be in a situation where he just does not have access to a computer, or may be prosecuted if he has tools for secret communication. But a deck of cards…what harm is that?

> Solitaire gets its security from the inherent randomness in a shuffled deck of cards. By manipulating this deck, a communicant can create a string of “random” letters that he then combines with his message. Of course Solitaire can be simulated on a computer, but it is designed to be implemented by hand.

I wonder how many road deaths their declining hands-free quality has contributed to? I'd wager the number has more than two digits. It's one thing to never have supported something hands-free, but when something that you used to be able to regularly do hands-free all of a sudden doesn't work, drivers are bound to get frustrated and use the device hand-held.

You can download LiViable from the article author's download page https://eclecticlight.co/virtualisation-on-apple-silicon/

You can run in full-screen mode by doing the normal macOS click on the green stoplight button at the top of the window. The current versions of Apple's virtualization libraries para-virtualize the GPU which runs nearly at full native speed.

It sounds like you want a type 1 VM. Unfortunately none exist for macOS that I'm aware of.
The tweet says they fired ~40 people for performance, not because of bad fit, which the video seems to corroborate.
Nope. Steam has very good support for GNU/Linux. Maybe when GOG client also has it I would think about it.

> This is a great response

Hard disagree.

> accepting that it was handled poorly

Technically he accepted it 'wasn't perfect'. Which is different to 'poorly' (other side of average).

> reinforcing that this was purely about the person/role fit rather than the person

He hinted at three reasons (without actually stating which one applies in the individual case): poor performance, lack of improvement after communicating poor performance and "poor fit".

In the original video the the individual countered the first two by pointing out the fact their manager's communications to them were all positive. Additionally, they've only been "off ramp" for a month. In my experience one month is pretty short for expecting someone to improve when they're performing badly.... especially when they haven't been told they were performing badly.

---

my take away:

either [edit: or both]

- cloudflare needed to do some layoffs, did some quick stats and didn't set limits on when people were hired when doing the stats. this person got mixed up in it as a result.

- manager fckd up and didn't tell the individual they were performing badly. in which case, really bad individual management.
A link to the iOS App. :-D
Based on the people I’ve heard make points like this, I don’t think it does convince anyone.

I think this type of argument fills a totally different role:

“I don’t believe or care about climate change and would like to keep my life as is, but this creates cognitive dissonance when someone shows it’s bad. I can use this argument to say your idea is as bad too! Dissonance lessened.”

At least when I’ve heard it it’s that context. The person saying it doesn’t really care if it’s accurate or equivalently bad, just that they have a gotcha to say when presented evidence for wind being good.

Wolfram does lots of wacky stuff but how does it make Mathematica any less tangibly useful today? He can want to use Mathematica as part of eradicating cancer using toilet brushes and it would still not change that Mathematica is and has been an extremely useful piece of software for decades. The point isn't every single thought he has is gospel revolution it's that Mathematica is already a delivered value.

Wasn't talking about Sourcehut, but this comment's parent.

And there are alternatives to Cloudflare.

The point is just that DDOSes have been common for decades and they shouldn't be a surprise for anyone. They're an inherent part of the internet protocols we have and the freedom of routing. Saying "they shouldn't exist" is like saying bad actors shouldn't exist. Sure, that's a nice thought, but they do exist (and have existed long before Cloudflare) and we can't just pretend otherwise and believe that our service won't be affected. It's just a matter of time/luck.
I totally agree with this - it always seems like sort of a weird omission when people talk about AGI doing 95% of work without any discussion of robotics. It seems very obvious that you need bipedal robots (or a lot of different types of robots) to hit that number. Do these AGI predictions assume that we'll have those by the time they hit AGI? Or is the word "knowledge" supposed to be implied before the work "work"? Either way, it's clearly inaccurate to say that AI on its own can do all productive work without physical embodiment.
I've suspected that for some time, beginning early 2017, when "confidence" in the economy went from bad to good in the span of mere weeks, with no pricing or other changes that I could see. I will grant that I have a local perspective on prices. I was living in Denver, CO, at the time.
I am seriously questioning a lot of things, and so should you.

As some of your sibling commenters have also pointed out, my proposal is just that some types of documentation is becoming obsolete. Ie. LLMs will probably rely heavily on tutorials and less structured documentation to explain how certain functions work, in what case we don't have to write that out.
Do you not understand that rechargeable batteries have a lifespan? A finite amount of cycles where they're viable to recharge and continue use? If you have an iphone, have you checked the reported battery health on it?

The point is, if something is producing power and never needs replaced, it never goes bad. As in, it's not just rechargeable it's effectively infinite from the perspective of a human's lifespan.

So, no, rechargeable battery manufacturers aren't out of business because after a couple hundred recharge cycles they need replaced still.

Similarly, with devices like phones where the batteries are usually sealed in, the batteries go bad after a year or two and frequently you're met with "Should I pay $150 to get the battery replaced or $1000 for a new phone?" and, after 2 years sometimes it's more practical to replace the phone. But you wouldn't be met with that if your battery lasted "forever" you'd replace the phone when you couldn't stand the age anymore or when it fell out of support or when you broke the screen. Most of those things take way longer than the 2 years or so of daily recharges that it seems phone batteries last.

If you can't understand why, think about devices that are plugged in. (which is effectively what this would be since it generates power) I've had the same computer running nearly 24/7 for about 6 years. In that time, I've replaced some batteries and bought new phones/tablets/etc due to batteries that started dying at 20% or not fully charging.
similarly; I got fed up with an earlier change and migrated to One Note. Generally happy with it; and apps on every platform (including linux)

You're right that fighting these cookies is not trivial and automation helps a lot. The remaining cookies are functional ones which are needed to use the sandbox for instance. That the changelog sets cookies is a known issue that will be resolved once the changelog is moved off launchnotes.

Identity politics have existed longer than Putin and the internet. People have been fighting for the right to be themselves for a long long time.

Also I'd posit that the typical "American upbringing" does little to make you feel a part of in-groups created by traditional American ideals.
Lots of these are bots, and be careful responding to them, as HN views responding to the anti-science brigades as “not in the spirit of good conversation”, and will readily post limit you (while funnily allowing anti-science to remain rampant, while also complaining about how bigotry and anti-science is becoming too rampant here).
The belief is that once the AGI is here, the possibilities are endless for disrupting absolutely every aspect of our life and society, the end of human history is what I've hear Open AI folks say.

There will be zero work, humans will be completely useless economically and we'll just have to hope that some how, all of this wealth is fairly distributed and we don't lose our minds from feeling completely useless.

What you can't imagine happening now, will be possible by deploying the AGI. Things we can't even dream of will be possible. It will be all chaotic and completely unpredictable over night. Eternal life ? No problems, pickup the phone and place your order.

What's appealing about this? I don't know, but billions and upon billions are being poured into it and many "smart" people are striving for it.

Thanks for the link.

Not sure what was the point of her arguing though. Just for the Tik Tok video?

It's not like you will argument yourself out of being terminated.

I also find her argument forced. "Just because I haven't closed anything, it doesn't mean my performance hasn't been good", that's nonsense, it's sales, performance is valued on sales.

Not closing a single sale in 5 months does not qualify as good performance, and you don't need 1v1s with your manager to find this.
Everyone is a capitalist today, not sure what else to say to that.
I agree that a hypermedia can't act properly within the uniform interface constraint, without a hypermedia client, that is, you can't have a hypermedia system without a proper hypermedia client:

https://htmx.org/essays/hypermedia-clients/

https://hypermedia.systems/hypermedia-components/

On the other hand, there is a real difference between plain text and HTML (or HXML, don't shoot!) which is a subset of text with additional concepts layered on top of it. This is akin to how JSON (or XML) is not hypermedia, but can be used to create hypermedia such as Siren or HXML.

So I still think it makes sense to discuss if a media is or is not hypermedia without reference to the client, whereas it doesn't make sense to claim it is being used as hypermedia unless it is being consumed by a properly written hypermedia client. To make my thinking concrete, I believe Siren would continue to be hypermedia, even if it wasn't be consumed properly by a client, but then also you could not describe that pairing as a hypermedia system. (This is one reason I focus on the systemic nature of hypermedia, rather than solely on hypermedia formats)

Semantic nitpicking perhaps, but then hypermedia discussions appear to tend to invite this sort of thing.
> The emphasis on accepting what life has given you because that’s what logos/tao/gods have willed is a lot more palatable if you’re an emperor than his slaves.

“Work” to us, in the tech bubble is sitting at a desk and doing some typing and clicking and sometimes decision making. The world out there is much more different. Work for many people is physical or very human (like a teacher or psychologist).
