Yes, regarding the metaverse it is. But I think even if they weren’t trying to get into VR they’d be doing the same thing. The existence of other tech companies with massive margins and employee headcount impacts Meta’s bottom line, because it has to compete against them for hiring.

One of the things I like about Meta is they didn’t play into the wage collusion of Google, Apple and friends. Their expansion drove increased pay across the board in tech - but because Google was also in the advertising business they had similar constraints on max revenue per employee.

If AI supports even higher revenue per employee than advertising, which is entirely possible, it would undermine their strategy of having the best pay among big tech companies to attract top talent, because someone would have deeper pockets.

Based upon my observations of a family member an ideal description of autism is constant signal overload that results in faulty assumptions, often hasty or convenient to the moment.

The result is decisions that are remarkably short of the careful considerations nominally applied, and taken for granted, by neurotypical people as well as many unfounded fears. My other observation is that this behavior is entirely unrelated to intelligence but it does dictate personality indexes, for example higher neuroticism and lower conscientiousness.

I suspect many people incorrectly assume the monotropism as a factor because of an over simplification in isolation.

It appears it's not far from the truth. According to https://www.britannica.com/story/nuclear-exclusion-zones it's 4100 sq.km. for Chernobyl and 371 sq.km. for Fukushima (800 sq.km. at peak) which isn't an exaggeration. Interesting.
It says "not available for purchase" and that users will be recommended what subscription product to use instead.

My experience of "representative" studies in psychology (university of Berne) was that they'd come up with something, then gather a group of "volunteer" psychology students - 80% women - who need to participate at x studies as requirement to pass, publish it as representative serious research, and call it a day.

Whitespace in this context is used as a token separator. Where you place the space is of course important. --i is very different than - -i but the same as - -i.

I looked at the census site and they're also including psychology majors, which is the most popular college major in America. Unsurprisingly, most of these folks don't go on to apply that major in scientific research. I think it's a pretty normal degree to get for social work, therapy, etc.

If they believe that they can still convince N users to buy $195/year subscriptions, versus getting 10N users to pay a net total of $10/year in per-article fees, then they're better off trying to convince the N users to subscribe.

One of the biggest lies in cultural thinking is that countries like Ireland and the UK are "culturally close" to the USA. Sure they are close-er than say Italy or Japan, but anyone who thinks "close" means "similar enough that it doesn't matter" is in for a rude awakening.

In reality there are incredibly large gaps around even the most basic things like the meaning of words. As a very basic example: the meaning of the word "interesting" differs radically between cultures. Most US employees would think the boss is indeed interested when they describe an idea as "interesting" and may even bring it up again at some later date after more research. Meanwhile, someone from the UK means that it's the dumbest thing they've ever heard and they will be incredibly miffed if it is ever brought up again.

Plaid supports oauth when banks do, but many banks are still hostile to “account access that doesn’t contain their in-app or on-site advertising upsells”, even when it’s secured safely rather than through credentials sharing.

> Is reusing an allocation while changing its size a thing you expect to be able to do?

It's something you should expect to be able to try to do. The underlying allocator may reject the request depending on context (maybe it is works for large sizes only, for example). This is provided by Rust's Allocator trait realloc_in_place() API, which returns CannotReallocInPlace if it isn't possible.

For Vec::collect, in the event that the storage cannot be reused smaller in place, I think it would be reasonable to free it and allocate an appropriately sized buffer instead.
Not sure why you chose Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, and Elon Musk when you could have chosen people like Stalin or Hitler. People that used their influence to murder millions in much the same way that a AGI could likely use its influence on a naïve population.

The fact is it doesn't matter what people "deserve".

People who are seeking convenience will always be giving up something else. In this domain, they're often giving up privacy.

A lot of people these days are essentially forced to seek convenience. They don't have the time or money to spare to do otherwise.

> Nobody would care about Russian minorities and their rights if Russia wouldnt weaponize them.

Anyone who cares about protecting non-Russian ex-Soviet languages and cultures for principled reasons should care about protecting the Russian language and culture in places where they're a minority, for the same reason.

> Also dont forget that those loyal Russian minorities were part of the imperial oppressive structure by which Russia ruled over its subjects.

The Russian empire transplanted various peoples at various times as a tool of oppression, but that's hardly the fault or responsibility of the poor peasants who got transplanted. And on the ruling side, Stalin the Georgian was every bit as oppressive and imperial as Russian rulers before or since.

I think an electronic keypad works better as a example.

You get to a door, and there is a postit note on the door saying "Keycode is 2424".

You know your job is in the building. Your keycard let you into the room with the door. Therefore, if this door lead to a "high-security" area, surely they wouldn't put a postit note there? Maybe, as the bug exterminator, or maintenance person, it is expected that I should be able to enter that room?
Interesting feature. One key thing I found when testing is that for you to reproduce the set of steps the user went through, there are a data attribute(s) that need to remain the same. For example, after login, a request for your account information will contain an account_id number that should be the same for all other account requests. If you can't guarantee this, then I don't see how you could use this in any sort of integration tests.

Isn't it simpler to use the Open API spec then generate from there?
Because of the European Union there's a lot more of common standards and regulations concerning things like buildings between European Countries than there are between American States.

Also, a lot more stuff is codified by law or treaties instead of by business and trade associations.

He was looking for engineers on via twitter on his official account.

> but it also notes that US housing stock is also much more wooden and therefore at higher risk to begin with. (Wood construction is generally a good thing from a sustainability perspective)

So if we really care about fire safety, shouldn't we be regulating more effective mitigations to protect these wooden buildings, rather than the two stair aspect?

Pointing out that there's a bigger risk factor than single stair has a natural conclusion.

However, I have become so jaded that I no longer believe that people advocating for two stair cases actually care about fire safety, because of their lack of concern about wooden structure risks.

Imposing strict, burdensome, and hardly-useful restrictions on multi-unit housing while ignoring life saving regulations for single unit housing has pretty clear ideological motivations.

Gamedev.js Survey 2023 Report – State of Web Game Development in 2023
I truly hate how people try to worm their way out of these discussions with their "um actuallys". I'm extremely confident a majority of artists did not consent to this use of their work. You can define whatever you want or make whatever shitty legal argument you want, the AI companies knew what they were doing was unethical or they would have released some provenance with respect to their training set. This is very new and a legal grey area. I don't think we need to mince a lot of words to state that clearly the work of artists is being exploited here without credit, consent, or compensation. These models simply would not exist without alienated labor. These products are clearly intended to be a substitute for artists work. If it's determined to be legal, fine, but society doesn't have to pretend you're not a piece of shit for doing this stuff.
> MBA’ism is because long ago the economy switched from ‘actually leaps and bounds ahead of competitors’ to optimization

False. Many companies make more money now than ever. American GDP and technology is leaps and bounds ahead of other countries as well.

MBA's exist to create shareholder value while fucking the consumer and the laborers as much as possible without getting into trouble.

melanine in baby food, and suicide nets outside of factories, for example, are cost optimization strategies that didnt work out.

I can just picture an MBA running the cost/benefit numbers in an excel spreadsheet comparing treating the workers better versus putting suicide nets outside the windows.

> The argument seems to be that your co-workers aren't your friends

I find strong friendship in small companies and fast-growing companies with a reasonable culture. When a company grows fast and establishes a reasonably fair culture, there will be more collaboration and comradeship. The sense of we having achieved something together is common. In contrast, in a company that has little growth or more people than the quantity of work, people play for a zero-sum game, power struggle ensues, and friendship disappears in the air. It's kinda like Robert Owen's Community Experiment. In the end of the short 2-year life of Owen's community, the neighbors hated each other, even though they went to Owen's community to build a more fair and just society.
Unless you're going to spend your time on something which brings in money, it's nonsensical to claim time as a cost.
