When an organization is growing there's enough cake for everyone. It's a positive environment which naturally encourages collaboration. But mathematically speaking, no organization can grow forever. Eventually they reach a stable size or even shrink. At that point it becomes a zero-sum game and the only way to advance your career is at the expense of your colleagues, so you have to shift focus towards politics and managing upwards. If you find yourself in such an environment then unless you've been given the nod from senior leaders as someone on the fast track, you should start looking around for a new job. Realistically the situation is unlikely to improve.

Some static size organizations such as militaries or professional partnerships try to escape this trap with an "up or out" policy that systematically terminates the lowest performers at each level every year in order to open up more opportunities for promotion. This works to an extent, but causes other dysfunctions and probably wouldn't work in most tech companies.

Sure and immigration should be stemmed, short-term, until housing reforms can be implemented.

They've already announced measures to reduce student visas which were uncapped previously.

Still. This isn't going to solve the issue. They need to build far more than they currently are doing. They need to strip local government of its veto over housing. They need to definancialize real estate.
The actual interesting part of this link is the comments section.
The answer is that birth rate needs to decline and the human population needs to level off and then also decline to sustainable levels. We're in overshoot right now and no amount of economic development (read: growth) is going to fix that. We need degrowth, and the only way that is achievable without harming standard of living is to have fewer humans. The only way to have fewer humans without murdering or starving a bunch is for population to level and drop off naturally.

It's hard to even have this conversation without being branded an eco-fascist, but there it is. We are just too many.

At first glance, it looks preordained that the DOJ will sue on antitrust grounds. Or maybe Prime Video has grown sufficiently over the years so that Warner + Fox + Disney are now small enough to attempt something like this?

In any case, I don’t think it’s a way to improve user experience in a streaming world: it’s a pretty transparent attempt at improving bargaining power within rights negotiations…

I mean, there is already a ton of documentation and process surrounding the construction of an airplane. Adding more process doesn't safety make. Having a safety culture without the fear of retaliation, on the other hand, makes a world of difference.

I'm sorry - what the fuck? Lose control?

I've sat here and taken fixed something annoying - waiting for appointments. I fix that by doing things like playing low-effort games. You seem to think this is about "losing control" or something and it isn't like that. If you lower the amount of things that annoy you - and there always will be those things - of course you are more pleasant. You know, in a general sense. It isn't like I'm sitting here treating the staff badly. I'd get worse service - I'm an immigrant, and I really don't want things to go awry.

You've obviously misread. It isn't like I don't have boredom. I know boredom well enough to know that it isn't all productive or even possibly productive.

I don't think that everyone just "finds answers".

Creativity and "Answers" requires more than simple boredom - boredom isn't a magic pill. Heck, you don't even need actual boredom, just time for your mind to wander while you are doing something with low mental effort. Again, this doesn't mean games while waiting at a doctor's office are bad.
I'm experienced in DNS but have never seen the point in DNS blocklists. It feels like the wrong layer.

I do adblocking with a browser extension. The adblocking has more context, can modify the page, and has easy UI integration for debugging and turning it off.

What else are DNS blocklists for? Clients except browsers?

For the record, on my desktop I use systemd-resolved (for DNSSEC) and dnscrypt-proxy2 (for encryption). On my router I run unbound as recursive resolver for other devices.

On my phone I use quad9, and adblocking via Firefox.

A base Prius is not nearly as well equipped as any Model 3. That's if you could even get a dealer to sell you a barebone base model at MSRP. It's really not worth comparing unless you at least option up the Prius.
Not until our infatuation with constant growth is confronted. Currently all major economies focus on growth(GPD), and any sign of slowdown is essentially a doomsday scenario. We have gotten massive efficiency gains in almost all labor intensive work, and while this means more goods and services can be pumped out to increase global wealth, it also means a rapid degradation of the environment.

Venti is the Starbucks name for their largest size cup, which holds 20 ounces.

Most people don't really care about the exact, specific volume of fluid, they just go by whatever the cup size happens to be called.

At least it is more descriptive than the grande or short cups, or the small / medium / large at other places (even if you have to know that venti is 20 in Italian to make the connection).
This is a great suggestion and we would like to add this. Not because it would provide any revenue lift though, but because it is what some Optery customers have been asking for, e.g. can I have a lower cost subscription that runs every other month, or every three months, etc. Technically, you can do this today by cancelling and re-starting a Monthly subscription at your desired cadence, or pausing and re-starting your subscription periodically, but that requires manual effort. A configurable cadence is definitely on our backlog though.

Medievalists don't do that. There are a lot of common wrong-headed beliefs that stem from "The Enlightenment," a time when some really smart people discovered that they were suddenly enlightened, thus causing the equally sudden endarkenment of the ones who lived before them in "The Dark Ages."

You aren't a real K8s admin until your self-managed cluster crashes hard and you have to spend 3 days trying to recover/rebuild it. Just dealing with the certs once they start expiring is a nightmare.

To avoid chicken-and-egg, your critical services (Drone, Vault, Bind) need to live outside of K8s in something stupid simple, like an ASG or a hot/cold EC2 pair.

I've mostly come to think of K8s as a development tool. It makes it quick and easy for devs to mock up a software architecture and run it anywhere, compared to trying to adopt a single cloud vendor's SaaS tools, and giving devs all the Cloud access needed to control it. Give them access to a semi-locked-down K8s cluster instead and they can build pretty much whatever they need without asking anyone for anything.

For production, it's kind of crap, but usable. It doesn't have any of the operational intelligence you'd want a resilient production system to have, doesn't have real version control, isn't immutable, and makes it very hard to identify and fix problems. A production alternative to K8s should be much more stripped-down, like Fargate, with more useful operational features, and other aspects handled by external projects.

I think it depends on use case. Is having a bunch of high resolution floating screens the killer app or just a gimmick? For most current VR users, they're not going to see a significant benefit from higher resolution Beat Saber.

I agree with your statement of fact, but not your conclusion :)

Those kinds of people are pretty much just a different interface into a knowledge base. Once you get past the off-putting nature of their responses, I've found that IRC has a higher proportion of correct answers to complex problems.
This is insane:

The Root CA certificate, etcd certificate, and API server certificate
expired, which caused the cluster to stop working and prevented our
management of it. The support to resolve this, at that time, in kube-aws
was limited. We brought in an expert, but in the end, we had to rebuild the
entire cluster from scratch.

I can't even imagine how I could explain any of my customers such an outage.
I don't see the problem with it tbh

Exactly. The discourse about foreign buyers of homes in Canada is centered on the morally bankrupt notion that it is only wrong if that race exploits the system. If a good old white guy exploits the same system it is not worth mentioning. What I am saying, and you seem to concur, is that the system itself is the problem. The identity of the person exploiting it is irrelevant unless you are a racist.

The Chinese property market is in freefall. And capital controls can get tightened. Either condition will result in default.

If your attorney is not adequately explaining things to you or providing you with resources to understand things he does not need to spend his time explaining to you, then you need a new attorney.
A very thorough preliminary report. I've worked for a long time in quality systems, and this is a perfect example of a systemic failure. They've got work being handed off between Boeing employees and 3rd party contractors with insufficient controls in place to verify that very basic tasks are being performed.

I'd be curious to know how many non-conformances they typically see during assembly of a plane and whether management is actually allowing the quality department sufficient independence to investigate these issues and fully resolve them. I'm guessing that the production personnel are under tremendous time constraints and are constantly pressure the quality assurance people to sign off on whatever paperwork is holding up the line, no matter the safety implications.

Also, I think a lot of middle and upper level management needs to lose their jobs over this. I hope this mess ends up in textbooks and gets beaten into the head of every MBA student in the country.
Sure you can, and they likely did start descending before contacting ATC. But before they did any of that, they had to spend some time donning their oxygen masks and doing a few other "memory items" before then descending.
RFCs are used by IETF. I don’t think the Bluesky team is proposing an internet standard just yet. Nor should they - that’s not quite what the IETF is for.

Not op but someone that currently runs an ai contract review tool.

To answer some of your questions:

- contract review works very well for high volume low risk contract types . Think slas, SaaS… these are contracts comercial legal teams need to review for compliance reasons but hate it.

- it’s less good for custom contracts

- what law firms would benefit from is just natural language search on their own contracts.

- it also works well for due diligence. Normally lawyers can’t review all contracts a company has. With a contract review tool they can extract all the key data/risks

- LLM doesn’t need to provide advice. LLM can just identify if x or y is in the contract. This improving the process of
review.

- context windows keep increasing but you don’t need to send the whole contract to the LLM . You can just identify the right paragraphs and send that.

- things changes a lot in the past year. It would cost us $2 to review a contract now it’s $0.2 . Responses are more accurate and faster

- I don’t do contract generation but have explored this. I think the biggest benefit isn’t generating the whole contract but to help the lawyer rewrite a clause for a specific need. The standard CLM already have contract templates that can be easily filled in. However after the template is filled the lawyer needs to add one or two clauses . Having a model trained on the companies documents would be enough.

Hope this helps
The fact that it sorta forces you to a lower level of abstraction is actually a very interesting topic and something I think about a lot in the context of how mainframes have remained relevant.

If there were a way to restrict non-mainframe ecosystems in a similar way, I think it could provide a lot of value. Especially for large organizations where standardization and prevention of IT churn is a serious problem.
I just don't see how you do that in an open platform, and so I don't really think it's viable outside of the mainframe space (although it certainly explains part of why a lot of orgs still choose mainframes despite knowing all of inherent difficulties the platform presents). It's a people problem not a technical one at the end of the day.

I'll add that a lot of the tooling deficit has been resolved in the mainframe space, but often in a way I'm not comfortable with. It's normal these days for mainframe developers to not use the old school ISPF development environments, but the thing about the awful old tooling, is that it was brutally efficient. Now you are likely to be giving up a significant amount of that efficiency because you've replaced it with a bunch of JVMs running web services.

There is in some sense an unavoidable tradeoff between modern conveniences and efficiency that I don't think there are any easy ways to get around. We can't have our cake and eat it too, and you cannot have mainframe level performance without it just being a bunch of COBOL and C.

This applies just as much to Linux servers as it does mainframes. I'm not really even commenting about the architecture. There are similar tradeoffs involved in how we choose Linux distributions, although perhaps a little less extreme.

I agree that internet-scale communities are pretty bad for many (maybe most) topics. But Discord goes too far in the other direction with terrible discoverability. Most posters who would be good contributers to a given group never learn of its existence.

The old school forum model does the best job of threading that needle that I have seen so far. Forums are easy enough to stumble across when searching a relevant topic, while the narrow focus makes them less of a magnet for stupid trolls and attention seekers.

Reddit solved the hosting and setup problems of a forum, but that company is so far into the enshittification spiral that it hardly seems like a worthwhile place to invest much focus.

I wish that all of the neo-Twitter resources where going towards making better forum-like platforms that actually encourage thoughtful discussion while also leaving space for more lighthearted posting.
Ah well, it's sad. Was thinking of something for the living room and i'm not sticking a PC or another console in there.

But thanks all for the pointers.

> Realistically a 100mb block would be large enough to handle all transaction data our species currently generates.

Nonsense.

With the current block size and average transaction size, the bitcoin network processes ~7 transactions per second. A 100X increase in block size gets you to 700 transactions per second. A quick google says global credit card transactions currently average more than 21,000 per second.

You're still almost two orders of magnitude off, and that's just existing credit card transactions.

Do people try to push it that strongly for small teams? Lots of us work on bigger teams and enjoy more of the benefits.

However, I also still use Kubernetes for my personal projects, because I really appreciate the level of abstraction it supplies. Everyone always points out that you can do all the things k8s does in other ways, but what I like about it defines a common way to do everything. I don't care that there are 50 ways to do it, I just like having one way.

What this allows is for tools to seamlessly work together. It is trivial to have all sorts of cool functionality with minimal configuration.

Oh yeah, no problem. Please tell the billion or so people who live in coastal areas that it's totally fine.

Because the land and infrastructure there is surely fantastic. I suppose those people don't need, you know, food or water, for example? But ignoring the geological and ecological problems for the moment, consider the political problems. We're already driving ourselves crazy over a relatively small amount of immigration, and you're saying it's fine that a billion or two people are going to move—or at least try to move—into different countries? I'm guessing they won't be welcomed with open arms.
I built a tool that uses LLMs to write a literature review on any research topic. (https://www.epsilon-ai.com).
