All stories of note have historical parallels, but I think it's fair to say that there have been new bits of history since then, that would heavily distract from the meaning of the work, if the window dressing stayed the same. AGOT would hit a little differently if it just so happened that there was a horrifying civil war caused by a poorly planned incestuous relationship sometime in the 2010s.

I've just seen the second film, and I think it does many of the book's messages justice (Great Man in particular). Perhaps you can criticize that removing the window dressing has destroyed some of the setting's cohesion. It's a reasonable argument.

But I do think that the film would lose more if was buttressed with an allegorical context for, uh, more recent world history.

The word is underemployed and for the author's purposes are still job-seekers who quality for government benefits. The practical difference between them and actual unemployed people isn't much when it comes to policy.
Being on disability - which is what this data shows - precludes you being employed 99% of the time. It also legally limits how much you can be employed.

The rules are complex, but for every $1 you earn you lose roughly $0.50 in benefits, until they quickly reach $0 for even a modest job.

You didn't say that. I said it was only one category. There are perhaps others.

Again, you need to look the number of people in poverty. Is it growing or shrinking? That's the true metric of an economy.

When you get to 50% or more in poverty, that's revolution territory.
I give my comments out to the world assuming a cc0 license.

I want AI vendors to use them, just like anyone.

I don’t like the idea of sites selling my comments to AI vendors. The recent Reddit deal where they are getting $60M for selling content freely given by users like me is more offensive than people scraping and doing stuff with it.

It’s one thing to scrape copyrighted info, but community generated content is supposed to be free.
A while back I interviewed a coauthor of this paper here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqArTpY_kNY

We discussed the language he's helping develop (Granule) and which the concepts in this paper are implemented in. I actually asked him if he thought something like this paper would be possible and IIRC he said he was hopeful. I think listening to the interview would be a good way to get a feel for the big ideas.

To get deeper into it, I'd recommend learning Haskell at least up to the point where you understand typeclasses, functors, and monads. That will get you familiar with some relatively advanced type system features. Granule is a research language so it has additional stuff going on, but that is a solid foundation. After that, just google terms you don't know (e.g. modal type theory) or look at the papers that are cited. You can also join the PLTD discord server, there are lots of type nerds in there who are usually happy to answer questions.

In my 30+ years, the vast, vast majority of obese people I see don’t look like they are obese due to muscle mass.
Social status will always be scarce because it's a zero-sum game; in order for one person to rise another must fall. Even if basic necessities were free the majority of people would choose to work in order to have more than their peers. This is just human nature.
Any examples? Again historically languages change much faster. Three and a half centuries were enough for a transition from Middle English (not remotely intelligible) through Chaucer (requires translation but you can see why it's the same language) to Shakespeare (we all read it as kids, merely "funny sounding").
That's why they use the qualifier "functionally".

Sure the term might not be ideal but it serves a purpose. Living in the current US with 24k a year is miserable (more or less depending on location).

When people bring up unemployment in terms of public policy, they generally are discussing actionable problems. Like "the unemployment rate is 6% so the gov should make incentives to hire more people".

These discussions could (ought to) include people that can't afford a car in the non-walkable US, or who have to live with relatives or roommates because affordable housing is a fantasy. "Maybe someone working full time should be able to afford their own place and eat more than rice and ramen"

Someone making 15k a year working 40 hours is functionlly unemployed, in every sense of the phrase imo
There is failure to protect and then there is this sort of behavior as seen in the Di-az v Tesla case [1] where Tesla was found guilty of subjecting employees to a racially hostile work environment in the very same Fremont factory also in 2017:

"Diaz produced evidence that he complained to Tesla supervisors about many more incidents than the two Tesla references, including being called the N-word by Martinez. See Tr. at 511:17–512:17, 585:24–586:4. Then, in October 2015, Diaz testified that Martinez rushed at him, cornered him, was screaming racial abuse, and made threatening gestures. See id. at 450:6–452:11. Both Diaz and Martinez complained about the other’s behavior (Martinez’s complaint was that Diaz was unprofessional), but Tesla’s HR department declined to conduct a “formal investigation” and reprimanded them both. See Ex. 31. This was in spite of the fact that there was surveillance footage to examine, see Tr. 452:8–11, and in spite of the fact that Diaz’s complaint was, even without referencing the use of a racial slur, more serious than Martinez’s."

Di-az complained about their manager, Martinez, using the N-word and threatening Di-az and then the company reprimanded Di-az.

By the way [2]: "Martinez, a Tesla supervisor and the main perpetrator of racist conduct, still works at Tesla, nearly a decade after he forced Diaz to endure repeated cruelty and shame. Not only did the company turn a blind eye to the racism, but the jury also could have interpreted the evidence to show that Tesla knew what it was supposed to do and affirmatively chose to not carry out the proper responses."

I'm not sure what the exact timeline was, but they are selling pretzels and churros now. Part of me would be surprised if this was due to a single state's laws, but it also wouldn't be too surprising if it was for a legal foothold. Seems like an easy gamble.

They are provided by other companies (Auntie Anne's for the pretzels, Cinnabon for the churros), which seems like both a reason they wouldn't be exempt (they don't "produce" it), and a reason for doing it (it's easier and quicker to have an established company/companies provide it to get it done before having to train people and update POS's). Confusingly, I could have always bought a loaf of sandwich bread from Subway - I can just ask for a sandwich with nothing on it, and the employees don't care. I don't believe they actually mix ingredients to make a dough that they then bake, though.
About a year ago I stayed in a hotel and the door lock started misbehaving one morning while I was at breakfast. Went to the front desk, got a new card, went back to the room and discovered it still didn't work. After doing that two more times, someone was sent up to the room with a mysterious, palm-sized device with a USB cable hanging off it, which they plugged into a well hidden USB port on the bottom of the lock. The device performed some black magic, and after about 30 seconds a light on the lock changed colour from orange to red and it started functioning correctly again.
The minimum wage is rising, however.
Ten years or so ago the first phone trees with speech recognition were generally trained to recognize profanity and transfer the call to a human. I got great results, for a while, by opening every call with a string of expletives. That trick's mostly stopped working, but I still try sometimes, just for fun.

One of these complaints, that Republicans benefit from the structural tilt away from densely populated states, is objective. The other, your argument that Democrats reliance on immigrants enables machine politics, is subjective. They aren't directly comparable arguments; the latter argument feels like special pleading.
It appeared as a rhetorical question used to rebut the claim. Maybe I misinterpreted it. Fair. But that is a possible interpretation.

But as you can see elsewhere, we shouldn't pipe streams into anything. It's just not hard to avoid this. A few extra characters and you're good to go. Let's take rust for example. Users are copy pasting anyways

They give

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

But why not

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs > /tmp/rust_install.sh && sh /tmp/rust_install.sh

For user experience, it is till a one liner, but it is infinitely better. Still has some risks, but a lot less. (at least rust does wrap the install so you don't run the risk of partial line execution) And it gives the user a way to verify that the file was correct if they provide a checksum.

There's just no good reason to not do this. We especially shouldn't be teaching noobies to pipe streams into any command. Let's be real, most people don't know linux well, even if they use linux.
True metric of an economy is not just poverty rate.

I can have 3x the income of monthly food budget (poverty threshold). What happens when housing per month is also 3x the cost of food per month?

Poverty threshold is a poor indicator of the economic health. Poverty can lower while the ability for the average citizen to support a family continues to drop.

> Are you arguing there's not increasing mobility, with this new fangled internet and the series of tubes and what have you?

That's not an argument. Technological improvements can result in consolidation of capital and rising inequality. Something like that would be indicated by... top 25% of wage earners outpacing inflation while bottom 25% continue to stagnate or fall behind.

EDIT: The last poverty rate publication showed the supplemental poverty rate rising (taking into account more factors that traditional poverty rate). Previous to the pandemic, they were largely correlated. We will have to wait until the 2024 results to see if the inversion holds true.

Hi HN! I recently tried to build a habit to learn more about Banking and Finance with ChatGPT. However I felt frustrated after having to go to ChatGPT and typing “New lesson” in the chat daily.

To make it easy to build a daily habit of learning something new, I thought it’d be easier to have ChatGPT send you an email at a regular cadence. Bloom helps you do just that. Give it a try to learn about anything daily/weekly/monthly: airfoils, AR, or AI and let me know what you think.
Perhaps I have my own bias, but I never quite get why record labels are always considered bad for musicians.

From my understanding record labels put up a lot of money upfront and profit, sometimes very much, if the artist blows up. I understand this creates a scenario where of many of the artists that become famous are unhappy, because the option contract seems unnecessary after they've made it, but this seems like survivorship bias.

If the record labels weren't good at promotion and production then I think we'd see more self-made artists, which is something Spotify allows.
As always, Quanta Magazine reporting is just garbage. The name for such numbers is ‘algebraic’.
No… not for an app focused on TinyLlama, which I haven’t been able to find a single use case for that an end user would care about. It’s essentially a toy, or optimistically a useful tool for LLM research at very small sizes.

Someone is developing an app call cnvrs, which I’ve been using through TestFlight, and it supports TinyLlama and many other models, currently for free. MLCChat is another free app that focuses on Mistral-7B, and that one is in the App Store for sure.

Neither is Vision Pro specific… but as someone who actually owns a Vision Pro, I’d rather have an iPad app with useful models than pay for a Vision Pro app with TinyLlama. And I also say this as someone who tried multiple checkpoints of TinyLlama as it was developed, and followed it closely. It was an awesome research project!

Tesla, Apple, and any other upstart business is entirely welcome to submit their connector or cable standard to the appropriate forum for evaluation. Because they avoid this, they get targeted by corrective legislation. Particularly when they take Apple's pathetic example of charging a licensing fee for class-compliant serial connectors.

God, I was interested in the pitch until "and AI".

I'm just so, so tired of LLMs and having to work around all the new and surprising ways they don't quite work the way they're supposed to. At the very least, when other programs don't work the way I want them to, I can usually get used to the issue or find a workaround sometimes. When something is AI-powered, I just have to kind of resign myself to the fact that sometimes it's just... not gonna do the thing. And usually in a new way that I have to develop a new workaround for, or sometimes there's just no workaround, it just sometimes doesn't work and you have to deal with that!

It's like I can never develop any sort of armour around the rushed or poor decisions and features I encounter, because it's fresh, interesting poor decisions, automated at scale!

It is the right choice whenever you need linearizability. I can't believe you've never seen a (correct) production lock-free algorithm impl that used SeqCst. Many lock-free algorithms require SeqCst for correctness. Here's a trivial example: hazard pointers. Any thread publishing its hazard pointer must use a StoreLoad barrier (equivalent to SeqCst) to ensure any GC thread scanning the publication list sees its hazard pointer, before it deallocates pointers in the limbo list that didn't appear in the scan. MemSQL actually wrote a blog post on a nasty bug in their database arising from their use of AcqRel for this operation instead of SeqCst: https://www.singlestore.com/blog/common-pitfalls-in-writing-....
Founder of Struct here. I looked at Zulip before starting Struct. And I'm sorry -- I don't think it's the same. Threads in Zulip are really sub-channels, and the idea of a unified feed like "All Threads" doesn't exist -- at least, that was my perception of Zulip. And just looking at the site right now, it feels the same as before. I could be wrong.

Struct is different. It's a reimagination of what a chat platform would look like if you were to completely give up the idea of chats in a serial log of channels (IRC, Slack, Discord), and embrace threads and feeds whole-heartedly. When everything is a thread, the platform can work remarkably well for users.
This is killer. Love the idea of focused threads while still having channels. Really like the design of everything, too.

Only question: long-term plans? Before I commit a lot of data to something like this it'd be good to know it's not a VC flip and dump.
thanks! will try that out
I believe this is missing context. From what I understand, Spotify pays big record label companies a lot of money as part of their negotiation for permission to host/stream their music. If they didn't pay these record labels they wouldn't have the music most people want to stream, and so they wouldn't have any power to get customers. They are basically held hostage by the big record label companies if they want to run their business because Spotify doesn't actually own any of the music they stream.

So now let's look at the artists under these record labels. Do they get a cut of the deal that Spotify has with the company? As far as I can tell, they do not. Artists only get paid royalties based on how much their songs are streamed, which is extremely low. They do not get any money from the backdoor deal that Spotify has with their label.

Personally I think artists have the right to be mad at both Spotify and their label.

There was a recent study that found that total energy expenditure has decreased since the 1990s due to a reduction in the basal metabolic rate. A 7.7% reduction (220 kcal) of the total energy expenditure for males might not seem like a lot, but it is. If you weighed 75 kg you would need about 2100 kcal to maintain your weight. If you started eating 2320 kcal instead then eventually you would weight about 93 kg.

Spotify is a middle man.

Of course they are paying out the majority of their revenue to the people who are actually responsible for making the music i.e. the artists and the labels who represent them.

And it's legitimate for artists to criticise the lower per-stream royalty when they see Spotify paying people like Joe Rogan pretty exorbitant amounts of money. And when many of them aren't signed with large labels but are instead going through self-service labels where the artist collects most of the royalties.
Uh what? My comment was saying that it’s a societal problem that individuals have to fight an uphill battle against, not an individual emotional problem or failure.

Don’t be an asshole. I’m not “looking down on people” or being “morally superior”. I am personally someone who has trouble with my weight and have personal experience with the fact that the deck is stacked against me.

I don’t have an “emotional problem” things literally just creeped up on me from a lack of time to cook and an office job that led me to being sedentary.

My point was that unless you are consciously thinking about it you will end up like the default of everyone else, because our environment is always nudging us in one direction. In the past this wasn’t the case, we were more active in our jobs and built environments, and had very different foods, you didnt have to actively fight against your environment.
