I seriously doubt it. I don't know of anything interesting that has come from discussing non work-related politics at work. What needs to be preserved is the ability to discuss work-related politics at work, which can currently easily get you fired (but for a made-up reason.)

As for companies not talking about politics, I don't care what companies have to say. They're the mouthpieces of their owners. As can be seen in this case, when the owner dictates that the company doesn't participate in politics unrelated to its business. Should companies have the right to speak about arbitrary subjects, but not the right to silence? How can an employee feel like they'll be treated fairly if they don't agree with the company line (issued yesterday) about apricots in Africa?

I'd go farther and say that the list of subjects that a company opines in public about is the same as the list of subjects an employee can feel like they're not free to have an opinion on that anyone at their job could hear about without risking their livelihood.

The fact that DHH goes on and on about politics in his personal life but keeps it away from the company is a positive indicator that it's not opinions that are being suppressed, but opinions about business-unrelated political matters on internal systems.

edit: I feel that a priority for any sort of socialism, or civilization for that matter, is to figure out how to work productively with people you don't like or agree with. And psychologically, not being able to cooperate with people who differ from you is an issue of autonomy and boundaries.
Wut?

I bought a house outside DC. Unless I retire to the mountains, I'll grow old here. It's my second home, the other was a few miles away, I've been in this area since 2000. Pretty sure my middle-management position fits my squarely in "professional, upper-middle-class."

Most of my friends are similar. Moved here after college, no plans to leave the area, almost all are home owners, and upper-middle-class.
I think the issue is that forms of workplace organizing and labor disputes that might fall short of protected union activity under the NLRB are dismissed as being "political", rather than there being too much chat about political news on Slack.

Altman seeks to raise billions for network of AI chip factories
That’s basically the education system’s goal.

However, AI models require copying and reproducing copyrighted works, whereas when I read I book I’m not copying it and I’ve secured some sort of license to use it.

The collection, mass copying, and redistribution of work to create these models seems quite obviously to be a violation on IP laws.

It's only been ~one year since input prices have fallen, according to the article - seems like thats not enough time for prices to stabilize. If margins stay higher than they have been historically, I'm sure some new competitors will enter the market and undercut the high margins - but it takes more than a year for that to happen. Could be a good thing in the long term though, more competition
That's a temporary and limited response. I've heard from people that sell vintage clothes that this will basically die as an industry because the more recent garments just don't have the lifespan.

The second sentence of the article states, "The find means Thailand has the third largest lithium resources, behind Bolivia and Argentina, but it is not yet clear how much can be exploited commercially."

If Thailand has 14M and there are two others with >14M then total known resources must be at least 42M tons, no?

Indeed; I think there's a genuine question as to whether the output of ChatGPT is a derivative work under the law or under our feelings of what's moral.

I've read a lot of code in my career, much of it GPL. When I now write code, it's based in part on that previous code reading. I think most people agree that doesn't mean that all code that I write must be licensed under GPL. In other words, they agree it's not derivative. Even if I write a C strcpy implementation that's functionally identical to one in glibc, I think most of us agree it's not derivative, even if I've read glibc's implementation before. Or if someone asks me "how can I write strcpy in terms of memcpy and strlen?" and I answer them with code I write that's very close to glibc's implementation.

Is AI-written code fundamentally different from bio-intelligence-written code in that regard? (I think the answer is uncertain in terms of "how should it work?", not that it's clearly one way or the other.)

From someone who got out of the corporate rat race in the early 2000's, this is a really balanced article on how companies change to meet the environment they find themselves in.
I'm not sure what the answer is when growth starts to dissipate. Maybe trust the people you already have and work towards downsizing in less artificial way? I feel like the stock market has made this problem worse
Doesn't look like it: https://gitlab.com/literally-useful/voxos/-/blob/dev/voxos/s...

edit: shouldn't be hard to enable though
Counterpoint: This might be what increasing access to luxury goods looks like. A lower quality sells for a low(er) price point, which enables more people to buy what was once a luxury good. Perhaps this is what people give up for society to move to a more equitable place.

Forcing a level of quality would force a higher price point, which would price people out of access to the good. And no, "but the prices are still high" doesn't get you out of this jam. For as high as they are now, they would be even higher with quality guarantees.

So, if you want the "high quality" you're used to, that may mean spending more because you can afford to. And if you can't, then take solace in knowing that the product that's shitty to you is a new luxury to someone else.
Like with chickens, the Jayhawk should just learn to fuse hydrogen down to lithium.

I think the analogy doesn’t quite work. Humans produce chickens because we can do that. We find more lithium because we need it. Jayhawks can also evolve to get better at finding more chickens. And by their very nature, have been doing exactly that.

I think that broadly you're right that few people are going to be your friend solely because of your external achievements and/or status (and you really don't want to be close with anyone for whom that is the case). At the same time, while this certainly will vary person to person, I also think that it's naive to think that status has little effect. The influence of status often operates at an unconscious level so is difficult to pin down.

In the context of this article, I will say from experience that status limbo is a hard place to occupy for a long time. You often find yourself having to explain yourself when you aren't following the traditional path. It can feel alienating, particularly when you have resources that allow you to follow your inner calling that others do not. It also can be difficult to accept the ego hit that can be felt when moving from a space where you were a high achiever to one in which you are not. But also as the article says, there are many rewards if you can tolerate and persevere through the discomfort.

Sam Altman Says Human-Tier AI Is Coming Soon
> You could argue that from a probabilistic view, any person who is arrested for a crime is more likely to be a criminal than one who is never arrested ever - and it's up to us as a society whether we want to expose that information so that people can avoid hiring those who have ever been arrested.

Radical feminism really fucked society with this logic since it resonates with hysterics and fools. Previously, it was how everyone blames all crime in town on the Bad Kid because he was caught stealing that one time.

"He clearly has it in him to do it!" they say. We all do, I say. Criminals aren't Morlocks from the fucking moon, they're people just like you who were unlucky/incompetent enough to get caught.

Arrests/accusations are cheap. Convictions require vetting and evidence. Weighing both the same is a social travesty that defeats the purpose of the justice system and opens everybody up to being framed for anything.

If you dare to know how dangerously you live, read up on domestic violence laws and see how many you break when arguing with your spouse. It takes very little to get yourself arrested.
Suggested title update: include species context, which is the American or Maine Lobster (officially "Homarus americanus").

Poisoned data would be useful in the fight but yeah, "garbage data looks like someone else's" is certainly superior to "garbage data looks like it's yours".
No, the reason we use logarithmic scale for noise is because "loudness" is logarithmic i.e. as the power of sound grows exponentially the perceived loudness grows linearly, so 80 db is 15% as loud as 70db (it is 10x more power though).
That is a fair counterpoint. I think then the issue is potentially misleading marketing, where a good is being marketed as robust and high-quality when it is not in fact either of those things.
I totally agree - PrinceXML is what I use for PDFs generation.

My strategy here is disable all auto pays and make it a manual ritual to pay my bills at the start of each calendar month.

Doing it once a month is easy enough to remember (or put a calendar invite, if you're not able to) and forces me to do a quick validation. In my 20 years of working and being independent, I've never accidentally paid for a subscription longer than one month.
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't scale. It also allows you to use any backend language. If you write messy code in php and think it is the language 's fault then you can use something else. Rust, Go, Java, C#, Elixir. Everything should work. Just don't write messy code.

Good thing that’s not what happened here!

This was voluntary, and there is no evidence that it was anything but internal.

Do you have something that would point to a specific politician or party being involved?

As a counterpoint, the liberalization and allowing of corporate lobbying and speech has made it much easier to manipulate political agendas, and remove agency from the population.
Isn't that the opposite of being in status limbo, though?
This has been around for decades: rent to own stores
They are a large enough customer of Clevo that they get consulted on product design and changes. When Clevo ships something to system76, system76 already knows what hardware is there and that they have drivers for it. If you buy elsewhere it might look the same and seem to have the same specs, but Clevo might have put in some chip without linux drivers.
Dunno, I got AWS CSA-P and it never got me any new interviews. Granted I stopped looking and only took interviews from people that looked for me actively.
Personally I've been split on this since I first read about it: I get a weird feeling from the way it was decreed to be not allowed, but I also don't think it's totally unreasonable to tell people to take it elsewhere (how hard is it to make a group chat on another platform these days?), particularly given the increasing polarization and vitriol in American politics in recent years.
I would say less if they had stayed on Wall St. The past decade has laid the groundwork for an Orwellian society. Digital communication and commerce is now centralized to a few big firms and that is going to hurt us as a civilization.

We’re doomed. How can i find any faith in humanity when a genocide is happening before our eyes. Not to mention the orientation of all efforts towards profit over all other ends; how could we be so stupid and short sighted? It’s not even individuals who choose such oppression, rather we are monetarily oppressed. I am about to graduate college and going to school, while fun, has showed me the terrible realities, that the world is cold, that ideas, knowledge, genuine connection, or anything else is worthless before profit. That i have significantly less faith in the world now than i did before college because i look at my peers, the world, and think we have no chance at changing this shit. I am directing the entirety of my existence to ending capitalist pursuit of money and the bucket of ways it oppresses people; every day it brings me closer to killing myself. Yet its not us people who can change anything, its the blind dinosaurs who are stuck in a dream world, living in the past, who rule us and dont realize how many lives are caught up in their dramatic dance.
Buy based on quality, but you have to be willing to pay for it.
I suppose that could be true. But even then they are hugely dependent on cheap energy for transportation and other parts of the value chain. You need a certain efficiency in food production to sustain huge populations like in India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria. Removing their access to cheap energy would take a huge toll on their living standard and for sure cause more people to suffer.

We're getting there, some of the languages that at least been commissioned and designed by mega corporations, albeit for fuzzy reasons:

Go (Google), Swift (Apple), Kotlin (JetBrains), TypeScript (Microsoft) and Dart (Google)

One could of course argue that these were created to solve problem X or for reason Y instead of just raising the profile of the company who created it.
The reason I don’t use srht is because of his opinions about product development (of srht itself), not his personal opinions.

Social/collaboration features are explicitly deprioritized by design; I think this is a natural consequence of srht being built by and for lone wolf developers. GitHub and Gitea (which is basically a github clone) seem much more geared toward collaboration by groups, something most small-time
f/oss developers don’t need.

Also, the emphasis on email and irc is bad, imo. The web won because it is better. A lot of the anti-web stuff is just tradition.
