I once stayed at work really late, and I was surprised to see my boss still there. I asked him how long he typically stayed, and he told me till 7 PM or so. He was there at 9 AM every day, so I started thinking, how does this guy work for 10 hours a day without burning out? Then I paid more attention to what he was doing. It was mostly answering emails, talking to someone on the phone, talking to someone on Zoom, meeting somebody for lunch... it's easy to do that all day long if you have the personality for it. It's much harder to spend 10 hours a day doing programming, because your brain will start getting tired and you'll start making mistakes. Then you have to start debugging, which is even more mentally taxing... and eventually you just run out of gas until the next day.
Lot of good points in this section. I had to recently spend a lot of time with myself. Like a looooot. And once I ran out of various kinds of intoxicants, distractions and emotions, I finally had to learn the art of having fun without external input. Just having fun by myself. It sounds extremely easy but it is one of the harder things I've had to do in my life. There’s something to notice there - there’s so much external input now that it is difficult to find things that you enjoy intrinsically.

I've noticed this in myself - if you have intrinsic feelings of excitement and enjoyment, then you just have a lot more to add when you’re around other people. You emit more excitement, and originality.

But this is supplementary - consciously seeking out the right communities that energize you is paramount.
"By destroying civilian infrastructure, targeting journalists, using starvation?"

they are not using starvation, humanitarian aid is going into Gaza, multiple trucks are going on, hundreds a day.
they are not targeting journalists, they are targeting Hamas.
There are plenty of examples of Hamas affiliated "journalists" there.

"At any rate, it's not 5". It doesn't matter if it's 5 or 10. There are literally hundreds of thousands of soldiers. You are holding Israel to a bizarre standard that no country can fulfill while somehow completely letting Palestinians off the hook. Thousands of civilians took part in the October 7th massacre. If you are going to compare soldiers making tiktoks

Israel has fringe figures, bad people that say bad things or do bad things like any other country. This is not relevant to the analysis of the situation in which two sides are at war. In war civilians die, civlian infrastructure gets destroyed and that is horrible. But it;s extremely bizarre to place full responsibility on one side of the war, the side that did not start the war. Hamas started the war and Hamas made clear that Israel doesnt have too many options.

Come on now, Scala has its issues, but statements like "because opening projects in an IDE like IDEA could take up to 30 min on high end workstations" are just not true unless your project is straight up broken.
Usually those exist for a single contract length, and after that you are free to engage however you'd like. That's essentially a headhunting fee and is valid.

That arrangement existing in perpetuity is immoral, and that's what Apple is doing.
> most consumers’ Windows PCs, and many Macs, are riddled with bad software (privacy invasive, resource hogging, and all sorts of anti-user shenanigans you’d never think of) that App Store policies forbid.

I can't confirm "most", but it's possible.

A retailer can sell thousands of Windows PCs for $200 because of pack-in, preloaded apps license deals.

It's one aspect of Apple's self image as a high end boutique brand that they forbid such avenues of monetization. They fear the entropy of enshittification.

And it's possible to appreciate their paranoia...

For my past sins, (some months spent in the 1990s Netscape group that licensed product placement on the home page), as a side project I've been refurbishing a neighbor's recently acquired collection of four Windows laptops, a 16-year-old iMac, and an HP all-in-one (like iMac) desktop.

Customer states HP desktop is unusable, became too slow.

This HP Intel Atom Windows desktop was thrashing its hard disk, unresponsive for more than an hour after booting. Because security:

There were four (4) antivirus programs scanning the disk, intercepting runtime calls to windows api, doing antivirus stuff:

- Windows Defender

- Intel NetSecure ®

- HP service apps

- MacAfee antivirus suite

Also Windows Update was scanning and installing crucial licensed apps like Candy Crush Saga and had just installed new Microsoft Edge browser. Edge was eager to help out with full-screen "Onboarding" to introduce awesome new features, had another instance that was a pop up widget to tell me that Brad Pitt was having Elvis' baby and homeowners in your area are using this one weird trick to gain financial freedom and you may also like

Machine had a single channel of 4GB SODIMM and 500 GB of mechanical hard drive: "rotating rust" driving rotating tiles in the Start Menu.

Thing is: this is relatively CLEAN setup. There were no scamming web toolbars. This was the setup shipped with the computer. Customer had added Microsoft Office 2016, Google Chrome, and had them well set up.

This was an improvement over many of the Windows machines I have cleaned up in the past.

The Mac was OK... for 2010. But that's another story.

I do not understand in which sense debating whether money is a costruct or not is that relevant for the discussion. Everything is a construct: society, democracy, beauty, country, etc.

The point is, the market through money becomes natural. I mean by that evolution is the law. Everything needs to transform to survive. This create monopolism, because most of the competion will die. Every CEO would be glad if he did not have competition.

Not distributing money make the society natural. Everyone needs to change to economically survive. Money is the variable, like time and spaces are for physics.

None is interested in make possible that all people start with the same possibilities on this planet.

Monopolism and Capitalism create inequality if money are not given back to the society to improve it.

"Work" (e.g. building products) is only possible in a society, which means for others.
Is it just for pushing the sales of these newer models? Because you'd still have to use Google lens (though more tighter integration), but it's not intrinsic to a new hardware (gpu or cpu) at all.

I like how overly underwhelming this year apple and Samsung flagship products are. The 1 year release cadence seems to hit a point where no fundamental new changes were to be added.
The important frame here is to understand that society is a mixed bag, or patchwork quilt, of tribes. In theory everyone can do anything but as is often noted in practice the switching costs means they specialise for life. And following that line of thought (plus looking at the world) reveals that there are tribes for things. So for example there is a particular subset of the population who act as the political class, as journalists, as technical leaders, as manual labourers, etc. It really shines through when the intellectuals go off the rails, because there are situations where the public discourse and the voting population are in disagreement over what to do next.

Anyway, Davos/the WEF is one of the most powerful tribes getting together to decide what is important and in their best interests. It will shape politics because they will decide what political ideologies get funding and advertising, and in a few years the legislators will start aligning to the Davos opinion and writing laws. Assuming there is consensus in Davos and it isn't one of the rare occasions where the elites are frustrated.

How it affects real people is informal but the pathway is clear.
Well they can find alternative methods then that are less frazzling, there are fewer things worse than not feeling seen due to only answering questions!

I know it can be good, but sometimes the questions can legitimately get in the way of connection and spending quality time, and not everyone wants to have the hard conversation while being in the hotseat (especially not over, and over, and over again. I am transgender, for example, and while having 1 mildly hostile family member would be a somewhat-problem, most of my extended family only wants to talk about that thing, and that one thing, with me, to the point where it effectively creates a wall. That at least is my experience of the issue, it's not quite the same, but I've definitely experienced the "questions dynamic" within other, much-more-mild scenarios, and generally, IMPE, I really dislike it unless I'm actively getting something interesting out of it, which I'm oftentimes not! It can be very much isolating, as far as my personal experience goes.)

So, not really a terrible solution, I think! <3 :'))))
Sort of. My understanding is that courts very much have the power to knock down agencies acting outside of their legislative authority, even under Chevron. That’s not what the debate about Chevron is about.

The debate around Chevron is about the deference that the courts have decided they must give to actions taken by the agencies which are a “reasonable” reading of their enabling statutes. In practice this means that the courts cannot review the vast majority of the actions of agencies, unless those actions are outrageous oversteps of the authority they were granted by Congress.

Yeah, most of the academics I know have a pile in OneNote or mountains of paper notebooks. I don't know if zk is good for research tbh, but I do think you can take some ideas from it. I personally use "bullet journaling" + a modified zk method.

Yeah, because once you're exposed to food that's actually tasty, who the hell wants to eat vegetables.
Can anyone provide a link to context on what OP is talking about, for those who don't know it? I don't understand what Apple is actually doing from this tweet/thread.

Are they are somehow managing to force even payment links from ordinary web sites in an ordinary web browser (Safari?) to go through them as payment processor? (How?) Or is this a new rule for app store apps (what is the new rule?) Or a new payment structure for in-app purchases? (what was the change?) Or no change, but pointing out how awful the status quo is? Other?

The Mystery of the Bloomfield Bridge (1028 points | 4 months ago | 270 comments)

Investigating thoroughly about something that doesn't fucking matter.
Feels like Apple is really tempting fate at this point. They essentially won v. Epic (as of yesterday, SCOTUS rejected the appeal). I'm not sure why they feel so emboldened to add a 27% tax on web purchases as well. Completely wild, but I guess shareholder value must always go up.
There are a few more sites in west LA alone they pull from. Some fields are still pretty large though, like the Inglewood Oil Field (1). Many are idle though and apparently 2/3 of idle wells leak and cause health issues in California.

Virtually every homeless shelter will refuse to house someone who is drunk, on drugs, or belligerent. This article only makes a passing reference to people who refuse shelter so they can continue their substance abuse, but this is a salient reason for homelessness given by many people on the streets (especially in SF).
Yeah, that I'll agree with. Top posting is a must, although when I have to I'll an add quotes as needed in the body and place my responses underneath them.

Bottom posting works really well in some very specific contexts (like certain forum software), but the sad fact is that you can't trust people to find your reply if they have to scroll down past their own email to see it. Placing the most relevant information at the top is a good practice.
The frustration to me is that cities are asking for this power in many cases with no actual plan in place. It's just "we don't care what happens, just move along". And at the risk of absolute condensation into a soundbite, a large part of homelessness derives in one form or another from those same cities and government's attitude towards mental health, which as someone who sees it every day as a paramedic, is nothing short of a fucking travesty.
I was all ready to be skeptical for most of these kind of works its outputs are 'not like human proofs' but then I saw Evan Chen's quote that it is indeed clean human-readable proof. Evan Chen is a prominent member of Olympiad math community and an author of famous Olympiad geometry book[1] so this time I will have to concede that machines indeed have conquered part of the IMO problems.

Leaving aside the introduction that reads like it was was written by a stoned middle school marxist and thefefore is difficult to get beyond, some simple critiques:

Divided wealth is inherent in the nature of the tool of money. Divided power is inherent in the tool of democracy. However, the nature of the power divide is different than is widely percieved. Like businesses, governments also are successful due to monopoly secrets. Functioning democratic republics are what prevent massive genocides, sometimes if not most often attempted in the name of wealth redistribution and with subtextual ethnic cleansing goals.

Monopoly is the bedrock of business. Business is the bedrock of preventing populations from being enslaved and killed by foreign governments, as global businesses fund militaries in a zero sum global wealth environment. That is, if you choose to impoverish your society, this means a vacuum for another government to economically fill and dominate. Strongly consider that anyone who wants you to be poorer hates you with a murderous passion.

In a global business environment, monopolies are essential to national security for a variety of reasons. As discussed, one of the most important being the ability to compete globally. There is no moral logic that can argue that it is moral to dismantle a monopoly for the benefit of competing governments.

The article's logic and conclusions are both childish and insane.

The time for railing against monopolies was prior to when the same types also wanted to create an economically globalist society.
Crypto is the most recent one.
In discussing this issue with the EMT and paramedic students I teach, absolutely this.
"If your life had descended to a point where you had to go to the bathroom in an alley and use scrap paper to wipe, or were eating your lunch that you fetched from a trash can on the street in the rain, there's a good chance you would use opioids to numb the pain of that existence, too."

And once you start using some of the most powerfully addictive substances we know, it's not about "flaws of character" or anything else, now you've messed with brain chemistry, in some cases, permanently.
> they're completely entitled to feel that way, if that helps them cope

This is actually not a productive way to cope and it’s good advice to tell people not to cope this way.
Monetizing Energy Storage (2023)
It is a bit of an edge case, but "technology" literally just means "application of conceptual knowledge for achieving practical goals". Economists work to formalise the technologies used, but they are all social constructs.

>> Human level means at the level of a human.

At the same time it seems to ignore the automatic absence of certain human features that are clearly net-negative for the human when doing "level" comparison with the bots.

I am thinking of things like: need for sleep or rest, need to eat, need to tend to relations and activities outside of work etc.

When he calls it "human-level" he is ignoring this. Perhaps intentionally.

The supreme court agreed to hear this case. So you can pretty much expect cities are going to get what they want as they didn't hear the prior ruling for basically the exact same thing.

The rule right now is before cities can start clearing out people, they have to have enough beds/locations for the homeless. If there's not enough places for the homeless then public camping is legal. (meaning that if cities wanted to clear out the homeless they can build a place for them to stay.)

If Apple forbids non-Apple Store app stores, how can this legitimately be considered to be lead generation by Apple?

That's like saying that highschools are doing lead generation for universities.

Sure, kids going to university do indeed come from highschool but on the other hand it's not like there was much of a choice or effort by the school involved.

Can't say Apple is doing any effort really.

My dad and all of his coworkers (well, independent contractors in the same line of work in the same general area, they all knew each other) worked this way, as have all the people I know who have done this. Not as McKinsey consultants, just people with specific skills that were easier to contract for on a per-job basis. Work M-F up to six hours’ drive from home (need a car at remote sites, so not much flying), home for weekends, reimbursed for mileage, hotel, meals on the road. One month to one year per job, depending.

The only one who ever paid his own way was when he relocated for family but kept the old job for about a year. Inheriting a family-owned apartment in a relatively lower cost of living area while keeping a high-income job in HCOL area made it financially work for him — no rent, no mortgage, family to help care for young kids. But he got tired of not seeing them, so he didn’t keep it up.

I am genuinely curious to know, what is your expectation here? He gave you credit in Github. He called it forever "indebted", which IMO is too much. You put out code under MIT license. MIT license means anyone can take the copy and fork it.

Why are you disappointed? Are you disappointed because a person of Indian origin did it better than you Or are you disappointed that because you wanted all fame but he took your code fork (still valid under MIT license) and did a better marketing than you with wrapper.

If you don't want people to use your use, put behind paywall. It is not difficult to understand.

Honestly if forcing everything through Apple's walled garden wasn't anti-competitive enough, this move certainly makes it so.

What's next - pay 30% Apple tax for purchases made through Safari?

I'm deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem. From phone, to computer, to home automation stuff. I have no desire to use a secondary app store. But I want that option to be be available. And there is no good reason for Apple to be charging anything extra for infrastructure they do not provide, and in fact actively discourage and fear-monger about. Come on.

I use my US Passport for restricted-age item purchases (or ID at a bar), simply because it is not trackable and does not list my location/residence upon it.

Although I'm way beyond the point of caring about demographic profiling, I still don't want my home address to be available to everybody dealing with a simple purchase (although this perspective is probably greatly atypical on account of being a survivor of CSA).
RTO? I agree with everyone else but it seems anything other than majority WFH is a waste. Once most companies stop laying people off and start hiring, I expect (and hope) it will be brought out in force as a way to get people to join/stay with significantly lower salary.
