I don't know how you can start out a comment by saying, essentially, that there's nothing new under the sun and then immediately contradict it by saying

"grifters have taken control of the entire system of government and economic activity.. Today's most successful grifters are not isolated criminals like SBF, but rather the leading politicians and media talking heads and government bureaucrats and corporate executives who sit at the top of the American Empire"

Yawn. Cynicism masquerading as insight; all claims and no evidence. An adequate rebuttal to something with so little of a foundation might be "nuh uh"

>it's a nice example of the systemic institutional corruption seen at the ends of previous Empires, from the Roman to the Byzantine to the French

oh my gawd the Roman Empire took 1000 years to fall from the death of Caesar and had been around for 500 years when he was assassinated. If you want to demonstrate complete historical ignorance, definitely reach for the "Fall of the Roman Empire" as part of your fear campaign when describing the world today. There is very little that the US has in common to the singular Classical civilization that your high school history class covered.
I’ve never had a ICE car fail to start in the cold in the Midwest, nor can I think of it happening to anyone in my family, and yet we have people in the Chicago suburbs with that problem in their EVs.

There are lots of good things about EVs in winter. I definitely like the ability to prewarm the cabin while it’s on the garage.
Google's Ads (in search) are more profitable for them than AdSense, their RTB platform ;-)
AI is already everywhere. We just keep on moving the definition of AI to make it something that requires a ~ 1000$ computer.

I'm definitely not eager on having LLMs in my fridge. I'll be even more pissed that their software can't be upgraded than I already am.
Why such a rosey view of Apple compared to Google? If you have been an Android user you might be surprised by what restrictions exist in the Apple world. It's annoying to have to side load app in Android but impossible with Apple unless running in debug mode with a cord attached to a real computer.
> Have we been able to stop North Korea and Iran from developing nuclear weapons?

Yes, obviously. They may be working on it to some extent, but they are yet to actually develop a nuclear weapon, and there is no reason to be certain they will one day build one.

Also, there is another research area that has been successfully banned across the world: human cloning. Some quack claims notwithstanding, it's not being researched anywhere in the world.
Perhaps it should use the fact that any file A can be written as the XOR of two files B and C, where B and C look like complete noise. If you only host B and another person only hosts C, then there can be no copyright infringements, while you can still reconstruct A by simply XORing the other files together. Of course at the expense of having to store and transfer twice the amount of data.
But by prompting for 'in the style of' effectively you are mechanically rearranging everything he wrote without adding anything yourself. So not so different really, and I can see how lawyers for the plaintiff may make a convincing argument along those lines.
(The Netherlands) Pension contributions + employer taxes + office space. First two add up to about 70% on top of gross wages paid. Office space I’d estimate at € 2k per office worker. But indeed, laptops and MS software is cheap in comparison. Bloomberg Terminal comes to mind as a not so cheap software package.
> absurd to argue that it isn't interesting enough to be worth the time

This is why “snubs” is misleading. This case has been extensively argued. SCOTUS is saying no novel legal questions are apparent to it; the appeals court is affirmed.

You do know that's because they moved away from Intel to their own M CPUs.

It has nothing to do with the case.
It looks like Kagi does this[1]:

I'd echo what some of the other people have said in that "worked on" is doing a lot of work in your CV. I get that you want to be brief, but you could go to 2 pages and add in the necessary detail.

EG instead of "Worked on" have something like "Was responsible for module that did XX. Optimised the code to serve an additional YYY customers per day on same spec hardware" i.e. more detail on exactly what you did.

> making the "if A then B" discussion a distraction at best and disingenuous at worst.

My concern was that it sounded to Tom like people were disputing "if A then B", rather than disputing B by negating A, and that people were therefore talking past each other.

> I take it you understand and agree with that part,

I wasn't weighing in on that part in the first place. I don't dispute or endorse what you've said, but (if you care) do readily acknowledge that it is of the correct structure to address "the observation" if they in fact match reality. I said at the start that I don't know whether that's the case.

> and your quibbles are purely semantic.

I was weighing in on the semantics because it seemed to me like a semantic mismatch was leading to misunderstanding and increasing hostility, and I hoped I could help clarify.

> Something people forget about the rise of agile is how many of the practices have become mainstream

I don't know how else to interpret this other than the list given are practices of agile, I responded because they definitely were not.

You may be right about the consultants bringing in better practices overall, but that goes back to my point that agilistas love to take credit for things that are not agile.

I would also argue that cloud was more the motivator for good CI/CD than agile.

At the end of the day it's all mixed together, but when you try to attribute something that's just good software dev to agile when it has nothing to do with agile itself you open yourself to the criticisms I've leveled.

You'll need a way to find which starlink has the hdd that has the data you need to access.

Content-based indexing (as in IPFS) handles that. Plus the data gets cached in the starlink you locally accessed, in your example.

It might help to think about IPFS as a public CDN operating on an open specification protocol and an open-source implementation.

That's besides the point. The point being made was that IPFS is being used in production.

You bring up a valid point though. From my experience, IPFS suffers from a tragedy of the commons issue. It's performance is generally terrible because the free providers are overloaded.
This is entirely unsurprising. A language generator is not designed for analytical analysis. The fact it codes well is what I think is throwing people. Since code is a form of language it works well for the language model. The issue with code will come from larger context where analytical thought is needed and it will break down.

A lot of ads on this page.
Every month I fallback less to Google, from DDG. Google is becoming ABetterSearchForAmazon.
Google created this problem by slurping up all advertising money from open web activity for themselves.

The more market share of online display advertising they gained, the worse their results got.

Why? Because the only way to have a large volume of authentic content being produced at scale is to have a healthy ecosystem of independent sites that are profitable based on display ads.

As much as HN-types hate advertising, it was literally the only thing that made the web of yesteryear so special. Things like Adsense enabled blogs on tons of niche topics to be monetized and thus we had better open web content.

When Google decided there was more money to be made off ads before you even clicked on a search result, that ironically was what ended up killing search.

Now the only way to monetize content from search is via shill company blogs, affiliate marketing listicles (10 best dog toys), etc. So that’s what we get.

For example, if there was a passionate person creating authentic, amazing content about dogs, they wouldn’t even crack page 1 on any search for dog toys no matter how good their content is.
> My liability insurance asks who drafts the legal agreements in engagements and, if it is my company, they explicitly ask if a lawyer is involved.

Yup.

This is precisely one of the points I was getting at.

If your business has liability insurance and ESPECIALLY if your business has professional indemnity insurance, then really you have zero option but to pay a lawyer to draft a contract.

Read the proposal form you signed. Read the small print of the insurance. And most important of all, remember how insurance works, the insurance company expects you to have made a reasonable effort to mitigate your losses.

By being a cheapskate and using a free/cheap ready-made template from the internet, the insurance company would be well within their rights to argue that you had not made a reasonable effort to mitigate your losses and the loss adjusters will adjust your payout downwards accordingly.

He demanded voting rights, not equity. That's an important distinction. I'm willing to bet a percentage of Tesla stockholders would be more than happy to have Musk have more control.

But it could be trivially met by just making his next options for super shares with 100x (made up ratio) the votes.
So what?

A coworker just came back from 10 weeks of paternity leave today. He mentioned it felt like he had to 'remember how to code again'.

By that logic, the company should fire him because it's going to take him a while to 'get back into the game' of the daily work grind, right?

But it's not going to be that bad, and we don't have anything so pressing he couldn't take even a few weeks to "get back in the groove" for all that matters for our department. We somehow managed fine without him for 10 weeks, he can take his time to get back into the swing of things.

And even if we did have pressing things, that's more on the company and not him. Probably means they should be hiring more than just that one person, and should have hired earlier so they have the chance to get used to things (there's always a ramp up of learning for every job anyway, for pretty much everyone).

Not accusing you of thinking that way, btw, you did say specifically that recruiters might think that, just challenging the thought process of those recruiters.

There are some interesting assertions in this article.

"bash and zsh are fairly fast" - the manual page for bash (confirmed up to v5.1.8) contains "It's too big and too slow" under the BUGS section near the end of the document. The dash shell is rumored to be 4x as fast as bash for many uses.

"Both ksh and dash are too bare-bones for me to want to use them as an interactive shell" - dash can actually be compiled with full editing of the command line, but is rarely prepared in this way. While dash omits almost all features that are not in the POSIX standards, it can in fact be used well as a standards-compliant interactive shell. The Korn shell also has a much larger feature set and is the default interactive shell on commercial UNIX; the last version released by David Korn has vastly more capability and features than bash.

"exec fish" - this is a bit dangerous, in that a mistake will prevent an interactive login. To fix such a case, use SFTP to push corrections. If you really like fish, ensure that it's added to the /etc/shells file, then use the chsh command to make it your login shell.
I disagree strongly with this position:

* No amount of personal spending decisions can advance systemic changes like better public transport or more careful military funding. These require governmental action.

* With our wallet, we can only choose between those alternatives which are offered. In many cases, we can only choose between bad options.

* Voting with our wallet requires immunity against professional PR campaigns, time (for researching on what to buy), money (to afford options which are better according to personal views but more expensive), friends who appreciate instead of belittle our purchasing decisions, ...

In the end, I believe the story "vote with your wallet" internalizes a form of victim blaming: The consumers are blamed for their irresponsible purchasing decisions, but the responsibility really is with the companies and governments.

Of course, not spending consciously is also not a solution. But we obtain greater leverage by using our influence on society. Only few of us are editor-in-chiefs of important newspapers or important politicians, but most of us can engage in visually powerful protests which are also able to generate political wind.
I would pass law, average public spend per homeless can't exceed average public spend per public school student without annual public vote.

Why does everyone always jump to this fiction?

You probably aren't paying a "cloud engineer" just to fiddle with cloud config full time with <$100k/yr spend. Why would you suddenly need a full time sysop to do the same capability level of on-prem? If you do 10 hours of "cloud engineering" a month to support an application, the same capability level of on-prem work is probably in the same ballpark. 5-30 hours. Yes, it can be lower than cloud. No, it's NOT suddenly 160 hours every month. Yes, it does mean you need someone who can wear the extra hat, cloud engineering skills are literally no different in this regard.

Internet sites ran on basement and closet servers for years, actual server rooms for larger stuff. The jokes were tripping over power cords and backhoes digging up internet lines were the causes of most outages. It's never been easier to run on-prem than today. It cost a fraction of even budget VPS providers like Hetzner.

For certain classes of applications, it's awesome. It's not everyone's cup of tea I'll grant. But if you are inclined to play with hardware or have someone in the org who does, and an extra 2-4 hours of downtime a year isn't that big of a deal (depending on general utility and network available at your chosen site). You can save tons of money.

I've mostly dealt with RAND consultants in the military / government. They were brought in to help answer specific questions about what we should do and how, presumably by writing up and delivering a report. These weren't questions that the staff couldn't handle itself, but nobody on staff had the time to focus on answering these questions (by digging deep and doing research, not just expressing a gut opinion) given their other duties and responsibilities. So the RAND people basically augmented the staff.

I guess they have the advantage of experience doing these things over and over again for similar organizations. It's also an outside perspective, which has both advantages and disadvantages. In the conversations that I was invited into, we spent most of our time just explaining things that any mid-level member of the organization would know, trying to get the RAND people up-to-speed, so that seemed wasteful. But the military is a huge bureaucracy dominated by people who've climbed up the ranks for 30-40 years, so there isn't a lot of fresh outside thinking, and it seems like it could be valuable to inject some.
I think it's hard to wrap all those hobbies up into one "reason" for the shift. One though is that kids probably see a lot less ships (in real life and film/TV) than they did 20, let alone 50, years ago. Kids will react to what they're told are cool and young adults will continue the hobby they had as kids.

That being said, the same place I buy my monster and spaceship painting equipment from seems to still do a decent trade in benders and slips.

And size is still an issue, the smallest ship I could build is about the size of the largest "miniature" I have.

You're confusing pay and value. The claim was that not only is pay higher for new hires, but value is higher. They are saying literally that hiring an entirely new team and ditching the old one is the most valuable move to make for the company. So why wait for them to quit?

It's just a credit card though? Seems like a weird distinction when those details are intended to be given out. I presume if you're using one-time cards you're not using Apple pay at all. Plus you need the CVC code and such to re-auth them on new devices.

Apple has issues with privacy, but I don't really see how this is one of them.
Ooof...I'm not honestly. I don't do Rails that much these days but when I do it's just crazy how productive I can be. I think it's still a great fit for a huge number of web applications.

If performance is very important there are better options like Rust or Go, but otherwise RoR is my go to. Pretty much everything you need is baked into the framework and it's still being actively developed. Some of the new stuff is pretty great like Turbo frames and streams.

I respect that you enjoy working in Nodejs but Nodejs frameworks are just so barebones in my experience. I haven't tried Adonis but I still remember when I was looking how to parse query params in Koa. The official docs said to use a third party lib or regex them yourself from the request string...like why would I even use a framework at that point?

It’s most likely to be brought up by a recruiter during a 10 minute phone screen, and since a tru-hike takes maybe 6 months max, I wouldn’t expect you to get asked. If you went hiking for over a year, I think the recruiter might ask, but that it doesn’t really reflect on the company’s values, it’s just a standard kind of question any recruiter might ask if they get a sense there could be a problem there.

If the hiring manager asked about a short gap, that would be a bit wtf to me.

Low security is security too. Biometrics can useful when used for appropriate applications. They're very useful in applications where authentication would be otherwise be omitted or undermined due to usability concerns. They can also be used in conjunction with other authentication methods to complement the flaws of other authentication methods, like passphrase or token, which can be shared more easily.

Like with many things pertaining to security, there are no universal solutions without first defining the problem.

Say for instance, you have an access control system where you want to solve the issue of credentials being intentionally shared. Biometrics are a great solution for this; tokens and passphrases are not. You need different tools for different problems.
