>why do you want to have this agency in business specifically?

Is there any way to succeed financially without being bound to corporate, and not have a business in some way? Be it gig economy, consulting, independent creation, or a traditional brick and mortar establishment, you at the end of the day have a brand/image to sell to customers that you want money from. It all comes down to business.

The only alternative is to be a stay at home parent, but that's becoming less and less an option in this day and age.

>Why the focus on tying your agency to making money?

Money is power, and power can lead to freedom. If many of us had 10m dollars tomorrow we'd probably take a very different approach to the next few decades of life.

Money isn't the end goal, just the (literal) currency to establishing the end goal people actually desire.
On top of that, most of those farmers were earning subsistence wages and could be ruined by one bad harvest.
Indeed. And beyond the interviews, there is plenty of other examination of direct evidence including videos posted to social media, shipping records, packing labels.

That evidence all supports the argument that the PRC and Chinese companies are complicit in violating sanctions.

Further, it is telling that the NK government and their Chinese co-conspirators actively fight investigations. See the literature spread to workers threatening punishment for talking to reporters.
It also wasnt an upgraded/better C64. It was a different computer with C64 compatibility.
Honestly, the only member that readily comes to mind for using HN effectively to network is patio11/Patrick Mckenzie. (And pg way, way back in the day.)

Show us the examples of male members who are doing it right, so we know what you think "doing it right" looks like.

I hired one person after meeting them through an interaction here on HN comments. She's since left to work at Google.
If you want the same quality of life of 100 years ago you don’t need to work at all.
Oh, nice! Compression is magical nowadays.
That has nothing to do with anything I wrote in my comment, as far as I can tell.

Unless you can explain further how the right of return is somehow a political party, or a "stigma" that people are trying to "disentangle" themselves from?
> But I’m still wondering how one would aggregate reactions. It seems it would not be enough just to have a PDS, but also to run an Indexer/Relay, which indexes other peoples PDS. And not just the PDSs of the people you are following, but also the rest of the world – after all a Like or such can come from everyone. When running an Indexer you are pretty soon into Firehose territory. Too much for a single person website.

You don't need to run a Relay yourself in order to see reactions; you instead subscribe to an existing Relay's firehose (such as the one that BlueSky PBC operates), and ignore anything that isn't "reaction-shaped" (matches the relevant Lexicon).

> Everyone talking about ATP seems to [..] never talk about the transmission mechanisms. Whereas I’m sitting here and thinking that an ActivityPub Actor’s Outbox is already a form of PDS – and it has an Inbox. Addressable via the Web and findable via Webfinger.

Here's my attempt to summarise the transmission difference between ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is symmetric and push-based, AT Protocol is asymmetric and pull-based.

With ActivityPub, your client talks to your server. The server handles both outgoing data (you making posts) and incoming data (viewing other people's posts).

When you create a post:

- The post is placed in your server's outbox.

- Your server looks up the servers for every one of your followers, and places your post in their inbox.

When someone creates a reaction:

- The reaction is placed in their server's outbox.

- Their server looks up your server, and places the reaction in its Inbox.

- Your website checks the Inbox, discovers the reaction, and handles it.

With AT Protocol, your client talks to your PDS and the client's App View. Your PDS handles outgoing data (you making posts), and your client's App View handles incoming data (viewing other people's posts). Relays are what provide transmission between the two: Relays subscribe to your PDS, and App Views subscribe to the firehose of at least on Relay.

When you create a post:

- The post is added to your repository on your PDS.

- The Relay pulls the post from your PDS and broadcasts it on its firehose.

- App Views see the post in the firehose, and include it within the feeds of users that follow you.

When someone creates a reaction:

- The reaction is added to their repository on their PDS.

- The Relay pulls the reaction from their PDS and broadcasts it on its firehose.

- Your website's App View (which might be your client's App View if "reactions" are also posts, or some other App View if this is a different kind of semantic data) sees the reaction in the firehose, and handles it (e.g. includes it within the feed of reactions that your website uses).
Could we use LLMs to give a readability score to codes?

If a dumb LLM can understand a piece of code, then maybe that's one way to check if it's a sensible code.
I am not sure how colleges work, but even at reputable universities this happens. Professors who have big fail rates will often be reprimanded for this, regardless of whether it's their fault or not.

Yes, sometimes this genuinely indicates a problem with the professor in question, but often times this leads to a long chain of responsibility passing, where if say a Calculus professor was afraid to have big failure rates, the Fluid Mechanics professor will be in a tough spot where they can either push back and have high failure rates or be more lenient, after that the Aerodynamics professor will inherit the same issue and so on.

Also zero tolerance for negative but truthful reviews. Please only say nice things and only write positive reviews haha.
> I’m equally surprised at how few people seem to understand supply and demand has influence on prices.

Whenever this comes up about athletes and musicians, I say the same thing. I’ve watched friends lament how much money quarterbacks get compared to “heroes” aka police officers, military, firefighters, etc… yet vote against tax increases and buy sports jerseys.

There is more work to go around. Back in the day, the only work that was required was sustaining one's caloric intake via farming (not to even mention the sibling's point that that work was much more strenuous that today's). As civilization advances, more work is uncovered. It is akin to a form of Parkinson's Law (work expands to fill the time allotted), only in this case, the time allotted is the entire future history of humanity.
Has anyone been able to get this to work on Cloudflare Workers?
It's more that you shouldn't need to ask "what you doing...no less"

Video quality is a choice but it's a pretty obvious thing for people to want, and video easily eats a terabyte.

Also your sibling comment says none of your hardware is over 720p? If you have normal-ish eyesight then I feel bad for you, even just considering text clarity.
Ban seems harsh, is there a compromised social media that would appease people behind this, i.e. age gate interactions to +/- 1 years until 16. Posts automatically expire. Get AI to block sexting. Seperate kids social media from adult social media. What do these parents want? Their kids to goto sunday school?

Is AI Useful?
Watch a series called American Dynasty. Many of the most successful people in history because so, in part, because a stroke of luck. They had many setbacks before they caught their break, but it was ultimately luck that allowed their venture to take flight. Had they given up sooner we likely would have never known who they were.
> to make up answers [...] to make up APIs and lower my code quality [...] to answer customer questions and make up company policies [...] to miscategorize images

These are valid weaknesses of current tech, but most likely to just improve with time. Networks are already above human-level on many image categorization tasks.

> to produce generic art for unimaginative creators

Personally I think novelty in art thrives when the entry barrier is low and experimentation is possible without a huge investment, which AI can help achieve. A lot of works/trends I've found interesting recently have involved some creative usage of AI (e.g: https://i.imgur.com/Jybvj0r.png - zoom out). Granted, Sturgeon's law is still in full effect.

> to pilot autonomous vehicles that injure pedestrians and take jobs from taxi drivers and truckers.

When we get to the point where they injure pedestrians at a lower rate than human drivers, then yes. We should be fighting for UBI or broader economic changes to ensure everyone (not just rightsholders like Getty/Universal) can benefit, not trying to ensure that human labor will always be required to drive trucks across the country.

> AI that can't taste to create recipes [...] that's never traveled to plan my vacation [...] that can't appreciate music to recommend music for me

If I'm actively seeking a recommendation, I don't see an inherent issue with that being done through statistical methods that take into account the preferences of many.

> I need AI to replace web search [...]

Web search has been AI for either years (using machine learning with transformers/language model embeddings) or since it's inception, depending on your definition of AI.

Same for malware scanning, spam filtering, DDoS prevention, reverse image search, language translation, fraud prevention, material/product defect detection, voice dictation, drug discovery and interaction prediction, logistics optimization, infectious disease modelling, protein folding, weather forecasting/early-warning systems, tumour segmentation, video transcription, and so on.
>He's made comments where he has explained (while very drunk on a live stream) that he has some beliefs that don't... always align well with the status quo in terms of basic human decency.

Others will definitely have views on topics which aren't always going to agree with your own.

The more you know somebody, the more likely you'll find a difference of opinions that annoys you somewhat. This is highly likely to happen with views on politics or religion.

The average person, however, can live with having differences just fine. Only those with severe mental issues such as narcissism will make it an actual problem, for themselves and others.
The things that make the maintenance of modern infrastructure easier themselves need maintenance.

There’s also a hedonic treadmill effect, where we start to expect the amenities that modern infrastructure affords and use them as a base for greater aspirations (ground travel is solved for the average person, now let’s solve air -> space -> etc)
Fwiw, I think things are coupled. The more we free people the more power we give them to free others. I think this is part of why we continue to progress. But don't lose track of the overall trend while trying to fix the local "noise."
Cool project - I’ve had this problem. I’d like the GitHub reader to also lay out how to set up figma. E.g. import figma library. Anything else needed?
> I've heard Texas has cheap energy

Easy without regulation.
Actual circuit switched connections, regular voice calls, would've been quite low latency. Later there got to be some delays from digitization; even then it would've been hard to detect in actual conversations.

ISDN lines were favored by radio stations forever because of the reliably low latency and jitter they offered.

Actual numbers? I wanna guess ~100ms max for a cross country call, pre-digital long distance. Maybe 350ms post digital. IIRC the ISDN hop I had to a local CO was ludicrously low, like 9ms? but i could be wrong. That was years ago.

Digital links for internet connections were lower inherent latency but then had layers of other modulation happening on top of them, and the variations there are a different order of thing. I assume you mean bare link latency.

I've NFI how many different layers of re-encoding your data might be expected to go through on a standard call today; but the list of transitions would probably be long and amusing.

We do not need "depopulation, as I specifically noted in my comment there is no issue with our population numbers being significantly higher than they are, let alone at our current levels. The issue is the kinds of technology that we are using and policies that we have, oil-based transportation, cow-based agriculture and to a lesser extent meat-based agriculture, food waste, coal-based energy generation, etc. We need to decarbonise the grid and transportation (we already know how to do this, it is only a matter of doing it), significantly reduce GHG emissions in agriculture through selecting different crops and livestock as well as increasing efficiency (this will need large scale public buy-in, so it needs to be led by the government), and put serious R&D into decarbonising heavy industry like steel and cement production. Once we get that far, we can focus on solving the remaining GHG issues like synthetic fuel for planes + high-speed rail replacements, and carbon capture & sequestration for what we can't solve in a cheaper way. "Depopulation" is an absurd, unrealistic, and unworkable proposal that does not actually solve the central problem and would actively make it worse. Population size is a huge part of what makes us able to achieve significant scientific and technological progress, "depopulation" would actively harm our efforts to restructure our economy and distribute technology as necessary to combat climate change.

I would say it's naive of them to think they wouldn't be called out.
Well, calling complaints about the legitimacy of election results "attempts to subvert democracy" is hyperbole.

Aren't those the very opposite - attempts to uphold democracy? (even if misguided and there was no fraud)?

In general, anybody that believes that somebody like Trump would have subverted democracy and established some authoritarian rule, is beyond hyperbole.
That's simply wrong.

While life expectancy at birth has increased a lot, that was mainly due to infant survival rates. Life expectancy once a person reaches, say, 25, has not increased by that much.

Diabetes type II was vanishingly rare not long ago. Now we have teenagers suffering from it. Teenagers with Diabetes type II is not due to humans living significantly longer.

Similarly with dental caries, which is quite common in childhood these days. This is not due to people living significantly longer.

Similarly with Cancer. There are cancers that are relatively common in young people today. Testicular, or breast cancers occur quite often in young people. Missionary doctors in Africa, among the native Americans, or the Inuit, report not diagnosing a single case of cancer for years. It is not a matter of diagnostic failure. An untreated late stage breast cancer or testicular cancer is quite easy to diagnose.
Part of the problem is that utilities are in many cases not incentivised to minimise their costs.

The electricity rates they charge are determined by government-appointed commissioners, and the basis of that calculation has historically been a fixed rate of return on capital.

So for a utility the normal rules of business don’t apply - the more you can increase your costs, the more money you make!

Wikipedia has a reasonable introduction to this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-of-return_regulation

You’re not old and cranky. Just (minimally base line) responsible.

Many frontend projects have 100s of deps, and while that’s a separate problem, imagine if a large fraction of them spammed bandwidth and console output with this.

Thanks for sharing this; happy to see the spreading of Nomad insights. I had once upon a time done this with GitLab and Kubernetes, but now that I switched to Nomad, I lost that... will explore this further.

I manage a lot of these sorts of templates... I "Terraform template" the "Nomad Job", which also sometimes has its own Nomad template stanzas. [1] Separating it all makes things easier to track, although I suspect that when you have that scaffolding set up, you don't need to look at it or modify it much.

If I know I want something JSON, then I include "_JSON" in the variable name and then it's clear I should have a `jsonencode` there. [2]

Can you elaborate on the differences with R2? I can't really follow from the succinct description :-p
Worse the the Raspberry Pi drought; several places advertise one but no one can actually get them.

I don't think they're being made anymore.

Maybe this is the timeline that resulted from all the people who got theirs "fixing" things. Perhaps someone should've filtered those first orders a little more carefully.
Sure, you might think you're buying the same thing, but are you really? I can imagine endless reasons that would cause your grocery expenditures to silently increase without you being actively aware of it. For instance, maybe you switched to a more upscale brand and/or variety (eg. free range eggs), or your family's appetite increased (ie. puberty). Without detailed records it's hard to take such anecdotes at face value.

yeah, sex-related issues are about as easy to discuss as religion, and often tightly coupled / dictated by religion.

Now, politics and climate change seem to have also become religious topics - you cant discuss them without calling into question ones core identity, it seems.

Not sure how to get around this .. maybe the Street Epistemology approach, of essentially asking someone why they believe what they believe - examining ones beliefs without judgement.

It seems very infrequent that people change their beliefs based on facts - yet its a core tenet of science.
Reality has done exactly that for decades in the US. What's so weird about people complaining that this is not continuing.

"It's more that you shouldn't need to ask "what you doing"

Are you really trying to tell someone on HN not to be curious? I am genuinely wondering what cool thing they might be doing with that.

"and video easily eats a terabyte."

It doesn't for me. We stream quite at bit at 720p, gaming, etc. we don't get even close to that.

I mean none of my hardware goes over 1080p, and that my difference between 720p and 1080p is not big. My eyes are slightly better that the standard 20/20. I'm not aure why you say you would feel bad for me as your entire comment is meant to antagonize me.
Not that reconductoring should not be done, but it would be great to leave the existing lines in place and stringing a new set to allow for both AC and DC, which requires only 1 - 2 conductors per circuit. To do that would require a level of coordination and vested interest that likely only Tesla has atm. Berkshire is also a possibility (maybe after Buffett is gone and interest rates are lower) with the huge cash pile that would have made sense to at least pay for electrifying their rail lines given the cross interest with reducing (re)insurance claims.

You can say that pretty much about any personal items -- laptop, phone, clothes, shoes, even your house. Manufacturing them cause harm to the environment and they're idle most of the time. Some of your clothes may stay unused for years, or forever. Yet nobody advocates for sharing them. That's because they are personal, reflect the owner's personality, and they're there when you need them.

Why is car different? I love train and tram (not so much bus) and would love to see them doing well, but I understand why people love car, and not only in less dense countries. Do you know that car ownership in Netherlands is on the rise? [0]. One of the reasons cited being people preferring cars as they get older.

If you want to advocate for public transportation, make sure you understand why people love cars, and strive to make public transportation suck less, primarily with flexible schedule, quicker, and more readily available.

Attempting to subvert democracy would not look like asking legitimate questions about the election results.

It would probably look something more like calling a Secretary of State to get them to change the election results.

Or to ask the Vice President to count the electoral votes incorrectly. You know. Things that we know actually happened.

Much like the anti-vax movement, the average American seems in complete denial of how things really were a hundred years ago. Prior to unions, work looked completely different - EVERYONE has benefitted from the change unions brought about.

It's easy to tell yourself that sort of thing would never happen in a country like this when you weren't a direct witness to people (including children) literally being worked to death in a factory.
