What about up or down?

If someone has reached their level of incompetence, bump them back to the previous level with their current pay. Apparently they were excellent at that previous level, and don't have room to grow right now. So put them to use at that previous level.
>Mine is "accept that you can not do it on your own and have them at a age where your parents can still help you."

If people wanted to do that, they would. They obviously don't want to do that, for various reasons. What's your solution now, genius?

>Who is "not living in the real world"?

You, because you're the one telling people to go back to the "good old days" and then shaking his fist because they aren't.

If people had listened to people like you throughout human history, we'd still be living in caves.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. Money in the pocket means nothing. Not even a good value for fictitious scoring. Arguably putting it in your pocket becomes shortsighted because you can make more money by putting it back into the company. Because really, it's doing nothing when you have it because you can't spend it. But if it is in the company then it can be spent. Reducing price of products increases number of sales. You can put it back into employees to make them work harder and be happier (more efficient workers). And so on. But you literally can't spend it if it is in your bank account. We're talking about divested fully liquidated dollars. That's the part I don't get.
What the parent comment is suggesting is every second night one person gets a solid night sleep.

It's a great strategy for survival. We did this a lot with our second child and still so sometimes if there is a patch of disrupted sleep.

The person with the child is not getting zero sleep. A small baby can't stay awake for an entire night. So you could get two or three hours in small batches.

You are exhausted the next day, but at least you have the following night to recover.

If you have a full time job you just do your job. You are really tired and not operating at 100℅ but you get through and it is better than having 2 or 3 hours broken sleep every night.
That is the funniest thing I have read today, thank you.

I understand the need for an encrypted connection, but it is worrying to see cars getting built more or less like phone or web apps, and encountering the same obtuse issues.
I don't get this mindset for grinding out your best years away in chasing money rather than just enjoying life. Fact of the matter is the money you make will never be enough, even if you become wealthy you won't be able to buy your years back. Enjoy life and good friends all the time rather than in some nebulous perfect future when you've "made it". Speaking as an European here, but that's also why I've never seriously thought about making the jump to the US. The work culture there is just unappealing to me.
Put simply: because of the danger posed by all the cars, and the fact that there's typically no place to ride them that doesn't put you into frequent conflict with car drivers.

Are you aware of the effectiveness of KYC? It's basically zero. Because money is fungible.

Suppose Bob is naughty and nobody is allowed to give him any money, but Bob wants to sell iron and buy wheat. Alice wants to buy Bob's iron. So Alice tells Bob she can't give him money and asks what he wants instead. Bob says wheat, Alice buys wheat from someone she's allowed to buy things from, then trades the wheat for Bob's iron, which is a process that involves Alice and Bob but not banks so nobody else knows it's happening. Trying to prevent this is futile but causes a lot of collateral damage and overhead and the people who continue to insist it be attempted should become unemployed.

> When I accept some fiction in exchange for parting with something real, I want it to carry enough metadata to know who I'm helping and who I'm harming by doing so.

And what I'm saying is that the metadata would just be a meshed graph containing everyone in the world.

Let's come back to AT&T. If someone you don't like pays them $100 and then they put the $100 in an account with a billion other dollars from ten million other people, what do you want metadata on money that comes out of that account to say? That the money is from everyone? Because it is. But how does that help you decide anything? All money would say that within a trivial number of transactions because it would quickly end up going through some large institution which mixes it with money from millions of other sources and then sends it back out into the general economy.
Qt (without QML). Has been around for ages and works beautifully. GTK is more complicated. I have no experience with libadwaita, but if in doubt I'd always go for Qt on Linux. It's stable, has great tooling and good documentation. And it hasn't changed much over the years, so most information you find - even on Qt 3 - is still mostly accurate today.
Surely this can't be real any more!

Like the wikipedia article says, modern digital signals and flat screens means correlating a set's emissions with a particular licensed broadcast is "difficult"!

I'd say impossible. For a van parked outside to determine you're watching BBC and not something else? Laughably impossible! Unless they peep through your windows?
For 3DS enabled cards, 3DS is optional. Unless you mean 3DS-mandatory cards.
It's the alleged size of GPT4. There's no official info anymore about architectures from OpenAI since they turned for-profit. But if the number is true, the new generation of cards still won't be able to run GPT4 on a single instance, because even with 4bit, it would need 900GB of VRAM just for the parameters. You'd need at least four B200s for that. And we're not even talking about activations yet.
First child was terrible, she preferred having a bit of space I think, and she would flip around in the bed so you'd be constantly woken up with a foot in the face etc.

Second child did like to sleep in the bed and still does, though now we are trying to break the habit.

Each child is different and even one child can change a lot through different developmental stages.
Your observations on learning debt resonate strongly with many educators. It's concerning how patterns of performance tend to persist throughout the academic year, indicating deeper underlying issues. Filo seems like a valuable resource in breaking this cycle by providing personalized support to students. Keep up the good work in addressing this critical aspect of education. I will try to use Filo myself.
Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that.

> If there’s one thing that saga taught us it’s that traditional aerospace is incredibly conservative and risk averse

Was that ever in doubt?

Look into the history of aviation. How many aircraft manufacturers disappeared or barely survived, usually no longer making civilian jets, because they made a wrong bet at the wrong time? How many disappeared because their planes got a bad reputation for being unsafe? Just a small selection off the top of my head: BAC, de Havilland, Bombardier, Lockheed, Dassault, Convair, McDonnel Douglas, Sud Aviation, Dornier.

A new jet design is extremely expensive, needs to add concrete benefits to the potential customers (airlines) and needs to be convincing for both airlines and passengers alike.

And for the record, Airbus are working on a bunch of radical design moonshots: https://www.airbus.com/en/innovation/low-carbon-aviation/hyd... , and so are Embraer https://embraercommercialaviationsustainability.com/concepts... .
I agree, article gives just one perspective on the matter, seeking similarities with the past and ignoring differences. But I believe this perspective has right to exist, it gives you priors, then you can incorporate differences to update.
I understand that this is "harmless" tracking but, out of equal parts spite and paranoia, it still makes me want to stick my device in a Farady bag when I'm out and about.
Well since you're against me anyway, let me double down: current airline regulations are way, way too strict in every way and are based entirely on an irrational overreaction people have to aircraft incidents because flying feels unnatural.

Increasing airline deaths to even over 1000 per year for marginally increased comfort would be worth it.

If anyone actually cared about saving lives then all focus would be on motoring, not planes. Planes should not be as safe as they are.

I think it will further enable corporate growth. Current "AI" is essentially corporate lubrication. In condensing 30 years of internet content into vectors, it enables the creation and maintenance of systems close to the mean. It will make it very easy for boards to get rid of middlemen and run skeleton crews. The fine tuning left to do is all about variance and liability. It won't enable new things, it will enable more and cheaper common things.
Android essentially provided bunch of interfaces over time to either load a complete payment infrastructure through hw means (usually it involved telco cooperating with banks to provide EMV secure element on the SIM card, and the NFC chip has hardware connection to the SIM card), and later and more popular there's both complete Host Card Emulation capability (so you can run EMV protocol in your app) plus Google Pay integration making it easier on issuer because now they don't have to implement EMV themselves on HCE, and also provide more convenience to users vs forcing you to open specific app when you have more than one card connected.
Well, many folks on the FOSS space are to blame, Microsoft has learned by the hordes buying Apple hardware, that what a large majority cares about is POSIX experience and very little about GNU/Linux itself.

As usual, while Microsoft has its own actions to answer for, it isn't alone in making everything happen.

The principle just requires that competence at job A doesn't guarantee competence at the job you are promoted to after A.
You would get the same results if competence at a job were random.

Notably it also suggests people could be great at high level jobs but never reach them because they aren't good at the low level ones.

You're aware that if there are 2-6 major airline crashes per year, many people would skip flying all together, killing the industry in the process, right?
I had an employee give me this book one morning. He wasn’t a direct report, he reported to his manager who reported to me. Anyway he came in my office one morning and gave me the book. I hadn’t heard of it so I smiled and thanked him for thinking of me. I had an interesting wave of thoughts reading it… I still don’t know if he thought I was incompetent or what, but, in any case, it was enlightening.

I'm still amazed that quantization works at all, coming out as a mild degradation in quality rather than radical dysfunction. Not that I've thought it through that much. Does quantization work with most neural networks?

As the parent post tried to substantiate, for current economics the principle subjects really are not limited to human production, consumption and exchange, but also include subfields that focus on all choices that humans make - things like revealed preferences vs expressed preferences or risk aversion are a focus of economics, but they apply to consumption just as well as for other choices people make about e.g. intimate relations or choice of hobbies or music.

It's still incredibly low pay, even in LCOL area, for what is (and should be treated more like) an important job. Houses also cost 200k-400k around me, and you can make more money than that working nearly any job.
they should privatize like Japan did. setup the correct insentives like Japan did and it seems to work. train companies own hotels, malls, grocery stores, office building, and apartments at and near their stations. This creates a virtuous cycle where the better the train service the more people patronize their other services and visa versa
From the same report, "U.S. Foreign Assistance to the Middle East": Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II, receiving $158 billion. Jordan for example received $26.4 billion from 1951 to 2020.

>> Similarly with lifting sanctions on Iran, which resulted in giving them $10B.

In the case of Iran, it was not a matter of receiving $10 billion in aid, but rather the release of $10 billion of Iranian funds that had been frozen.
As stylish a tinfoil tote would be, I think it would be detrimental to legitimate uses like receiving signals.
More human like than in 1958 for sure, but back then they'd have said that e.g. playing chess is human like.

And there's still a lot of opportunities to get more human like today: it can't empty the dishwasher or drive a car yet even if you'd give it arms, legs and eyes.
My own observations:

A) Some places, the only way to land a leadership position, is by simply outliving your competition in the firm. Some firms put way too much emphasis on seniority, and are afraid to not promote senior employees in a predictable fashion, in fear of them leaving.

These types of places also compensate purely based on your seniority and job title - which is why everyone wants to land such positions.

B) The Peter Principle is rampant in sales. Good salespeople get promoted to leadership positions, and are bogged down with tasks they do not enjoy, or want to do.

C) Places with a strong focus on "up or out" can also end up with a system where the Peter Principle is rife. Employees will do anything in their power to reach tenure, and once tenured, they might lose all motivation to perform their leadership duties - other than to work their subordinates to the bone, because they know there's a endless supply of them, and that all of them are equally motivated to reach promotion / tenure.
I 100% disagree.

On the average it may be 100% right, but of you zoom in, you will see a bunch of problems.

For example:

- kids turning out really poorly if they have bad parenting. Magnitude matters too.

- I suspect the data is not capturing kids that literally died (is the fentanyl crisis over? Are those kids counted?)

- some parenting groups likely have lopsided outcomes (Ie kids from yougest parents may turn out badly, while those from older parents may not be impacted at all)

In conclusion. Outcomes are strongly tied to genetics up to a breaking point, where if the "parenting" variable is so deficient, things go bad, fast.

My contention is that parenting doesnt matter at all on average, except that when it does, it's the main determinant for outcome.

And further, i posit that this parenting variable is increasingly worse over time.
Depending on the "Comunidad Autonoma" there's different taxes involved for example in Catalonia ITP (taxes for second hand houses) are 10% and if you are in Madrid are 6%.

> realized, man teachers also have their fair share of indignations from the system.

Oh for sure. I think many would be surprised how political (not in like government terms) a department can be. It can vary dramatically within a school too. My partner's department is very functional while mine seems to be continually shooting themselves in the foot trying to dislodge the previous bullet hole. But when I started, it was very functional. I can certainly say that very few professors are happy with the system and I think it is failing everyone involved. This is why in my main comment I suggested that there is real opportunities to disrupt education in a very traditional sense. Because the truth of the matter is that we started treating academia like a business and the results were probably what anyone could have predicted: metric hacking galore. It's a big part of why students themselves cheat in the first place. Then try being a grad student where you are doing half of your advisor's job, leading other students and writing grants, while trying to also do course work (first few years), TA, publish, and research. It's a lot. Everyone is overworked.

There are plenty of great advisors and departments. But unfortunately these tend to be the exception instead of the norm and appear to becoming rarer. Or maybe I've just gotten more experience. Personally, my PhD has left me with a very bad taste for academia, and I know a lot of others at other schools who have the same feelings. What's also surprising to many outside of academia is that my dream is to spend my days researching. But they cannot understand how academia nor industry provides me a environment to actually do this (fwiw, academics usually to understand).
I think the word you're looking for is lossy
counter example, the peter principle is used to disguise the lack of a career path.

when I started my career I was working at a national news agency as "Business Development Web" this was from 1998 to 2004 and everything "internet / cyber data highway" was my job. from website to api-s to product design to design to code, frontend backend and project management and well product management (feeds, stream, ...) . seperation of work in the online space did not exist then.

as at one point i told them that i want to develop further and not relaunch the website next year again the hold me back 'cause of the fear of peter principle - ans that they need me cause there was nobody else who could ever do my job.

so i quit.

so i think the peter principle exists, yes. there are incompetent managers which were very competent in another position.

but applying the peter principle for decision making is harmful. for the individual and the organisation.

i would say the sum pf applying the peter principle in an organisational is more harmful to promote people and see of they will be valuable, even if some of them will suck eventually.
I think the issue here is that most commandline tools of name X are in an apt/pip package named X.

For huggingface, the tool is called huggingface-cli, but the package is called huggingface_hub[cli].

IMO, thats bad naming. If you make a tool called X, just publish it in a package called X.
