The value of hard work is something we need to teach CEOs https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-in-2021/

I would love to see CEOs work my teenage summer job in my dad's rigging business. In the hot summer, I would load and unload oil and dirt-covered blocking, chains, and jacks and move molding machines in 90F factories with steel rollers and a forklift. You need to stay alert to keep your toes and fingers.

I grew up with adults missing body parts from industrial accidents through "hard work."

When a CEO loses a hand or an eye because of a bad deal, I'll consider they might know what hard work is.
And yet in many clearly-attributed cases the times lined up with the attacking country's office hours.
> Just include the shipping in the price and that's it.

Hard problem, though. I can ship to locals, which is the vast majority of my customer base, for practically free. But occasionally I get a far-away order where shipping is tremendously expensive.

If the price is inclusive, all my local customers have to pay substantially more just to cover the occasional order from far away. That's a lot for them to burden, and likely they'll stop buying. Nobody will pay an infinite amount for something. Alternatively, I could cut off sales to those in far away places, but that doesn't help me or them. They are buying from me because they want my product.

The obvious solution is simply to let those in far away places who still want to buy the product to pay a shipping fee on top commensurable with the added costs of getting the product to them.
The questionable quality is that the word free is known to induce strong positive emotions, more so than if online retailers said more straightforwardly something like “Prices include shipping.” Yes, we know the costs of shipping are factored into the prices of the products, but it’s essentially a dark pattern to increase a shopper’s emotional likelihood of buying.

As always, though, there are different norms among industries. We don’t think anything is off when we see “Free Shipping” notices online, but if the same practice were elsewhere we’d think it were bizarre. To wit:

Restaurants: Free Dressing with Any Salad

Coffee Shop: Free To-Go Cups

Cities/Municipalities: Free Schools and Snow Plowing

Auto Mechanic: Free Windshield Washer Fluid

Notebook Computers: Free Charging Cord

Credit, though, to coffee shops which do provide a discount if you bring your own mug. Plenty of other businesses could do this and offset the built-in shipping charges they have online. For instance, a shoe retailer may have the same price online (with free shipping) as their local store, but I’ve never seen a setup like this whereby the customer gets a discount for picking up locally.
Someone doing performance work can state they did it. It's a public service we all benefit from.

If the rivalry further adds urgency to improve: great.
Hydrogen infrastructure is a Japanese pipe dream. Maybe it can work for one company, but it's a bridge too far for widespread or rapid transition.

You read stories in the glory days of Microsoft where they would bend over backwards to ensure backwards compatibility [0]. Going from that to what you say is depressing. It’s actually hard for me to accept your statement because such a failure would not only require QA/the PM to be totally ignorant of current testing best practices, but also require HR to have catastrophically misidentified both those people and the people who supervise them.

Keep up the great work.

I think it's a good idea for everyone to download and be able to run a LLM locally, even if you have the minimum of requirements. As a pseudo-backup of a large chunk of human knowledge.
Surely there’s an insurer somewhere willing to underwrite this.
They can see the traffic if you're using one of their load balancers. And even if not, snooping on VMs is pretty trivial. For example this project https://github.com/KVM-VMI/kvm-vmi makes it easy to look at memory / processes on a VM.
I feel like there are more options than just the ones he listed. Like "Hello ${name}" or "Hello `name`" or "Hello {`name`}"...
I have been using a small tool I made to hide the time information in my git commits: https://github.com/SmartHypercube/git-date-truncate

It not only sets the timezone to UTC, but also sets the time to 00:00. So my commits will only have date information. I think only saving the date permanently in the git commit is good enough. No need to leak the precise time I made commits.
A big reason I have always used Invidious over the YouTube site for years now is due to the fact it loads fast on slow mobile connections and requires relatively little JavaScript on the client side. If we ignore video.js, then the HTML sent over the wire renders the vast majority of each page, and elements (besides the video player) are already interactable before the JS finishes loading. The headline alone makes me fear this is some gigantic JS bundle that wont render anything server-side, but I'd love to be wrong about that. In any case, the current Invidious interface is "good enough" for me. I'm not sure what complaints I could make besides lack of SponsorBlock in the video player.

One of the issues in the project page states "[t]he current Invidious UI leaves a lot to be desired", but I am not sure what they mean. Similarly, every feature in the README besides SponsorBlock support seems to already exist in the current frontend. The only other difference I can think of is that this project uses Svelte for its frontend, so I assume it's some SPA that will present a blank page for a very long time on my cellular network. Again, I'd love to be incorrect.

Places with reasonable build systems can do that for you. For example, poudriere on FreeBSD.
You're too quick to dismiss things. There's without doubt a phenomenon here (a multitude of anecdotes of sudden symptoms, with some victims "medically retired from government service"), with two theories to explain it: a) there's no underlying physical cause, but it's basically random incidences in conjunction with selection bias, or b) there's an underlying physical cause, such as outlined in the article.

These are both possibilities. The article outlines "new evidence — in the form of intercepted Russian intelligence documents, travel logs, and call metadata, along with eyewitness testimony". They don't claim to have the device itself, or direct information about it.

Next, there are some studies that find differences, and some that don't find differences between the affected and a control group. If the studies look at different markers, that is consistent with non-obvious differences being there. The absence of evidence sometimes is evidence of absence, but not always.

I think the proper response for now is to suspend judgment.

Exactly. Once you assume that it’s more than “a lone wolf/single guy” many more things become possible.

I contend that most human knowledge is not written down or if it is written down it’s not publicly available on the internet and so does not exist in these datasets.

There’s so much subtle knowledge like the way a mother learns to calm her child or the way a carpenter learns to work different kinds of wood which may be written down in part, but may also be learned through lived experience or transferred from human to human such that little of it gets written down and posted online.
Based on my experience trying to get LLMs to write useful code, I don't think LLMs are the right tool to optimize a novel technical problem. The best they can really do is offer common, generic optimizations that might apply
to similar situations, or might be completely made up. Useful for brainstorming, but not reliable.
The closest thing I've seen to truly multi-paradigm was a programming language now lost to time called Metamine, which I kept a clone of[1]. Here's some previous discussion[2]

In Metamine

a := b is a normal assignment
c = d+1 means that c will ALWAYS be equal to d+1
z = 10-time results in a countdown timer, z

That magical equals is declarative programming... something that I've only seen mixed with imperative functioning that one time.

Yes, sticking to precedent is a good idea in general, too. But that's independent of long options.
It's only bold because this board skews so radically progressive and without any self-criticism.

The scary-libertarian old-guard of this board (and of SV in general) is long gone.

It's fine to see some balance in the farce. I kinda just wish we could all go back to being center-left/center-right.

If I had a dollar for every time someone on this board "othered" 50% of the North American population and described them as evil personified, I'd buy Amazon and retire.
Agree, they are exceptional. What I find problematic is the way Thiel is choosing the candidates. He's choosing the exceptional ones and touting them as normal everyday students. Sure if you sort for the exceptional ones then you're going to have success. It's not valid to criticize the university system and prove your point by only picking the best. The way to prove the point is to pick a random set and see the results. The way Theil is doing it proves nothing. He puts dought in the university system without giving a valid fix or alternative for the great majority of students. We know exceptional people will do exceptional things. There's nothing new there.

Probably: participants multiplied by average gross income?
There seems to be a lot of skepticism in this thread, which I understand, but I really think many people here are underestimating just how much economic incentive there is to make this happen. The freight companies want this, the insurance companies want this, and the truck manufacturers want this. This is not an if, this is a when.
Sounds to me like you are more trained in one style of thought than another. That doesn't seem so strange to me. Personally I'm not very good with accents or music but I also don't have very much background at all with those things. On the other hand I consciously trained my skills in visualization from a young age.

I love that, but lately it seems to freeze a few seconds into the video.
For cancer and forces of nature, there is anger, there is a sense of unfairness, but we ask "why" and the instinctive answer is there - force of nature.
To the robber metaphor, for example I've had cars try to run me off the road on my bicycle, so I approach the driver and it becomes immediately clear this is an insane person with major problems, and I think "oh, force of nature, this person is completely insane" - similar how "not guilty by way of insanity" is a real thing. Again we get an answer "why" - because this person is insane.

For me the deep insult that causes anger is if this is intentional, this is a person, they willfully did this of sound mind. Perhaps why a Madoff might make someone angry, but not SBF. In my view, SBF was a step or two removed from a big "too big too fail" 2008 bank that offered an interest rate to account holders by making investments with some risk. It seems to me SBF was operating along similar lines, 8% interest rate if I recall, but his intent wasn't to steal so much as illegally hide risk and hope for the best - and in his case, he was small enough to fail.
Like I said a limit of one pseudonym on top of the real identity. If everyone knows everyone else is hard limited to a max of 1 pseudonym, then they wouldn’t be afraid any longer.

which is completely real and scientifically verified, despite your scare quotes.

I might add that nothing in your link claims that Gulf War Syndrome is psychogenic.
I wish we had pricing transparency laws requiring companies to honor the advertised price without being able to tack on all kinds of hidden fees. Since we don't, there are many times where I've abandoned an online cart because a hidden fee increased the price beyond what I was willing to pay. I'm also generally not going to order from web sites that do "orders of $x or more get free shipping" unless there's at least $x worth of items I want to order so this tactic is self-defeating.
IntelliJ IDEs have great support for customization of this - for example, I highlight functions, properties, and extension function calls differently in Kotlin.

In all the major economies there are significant heavy truck routes and energy demands that are suitable for hydrogen; city maintainance (garbage, etc), routine trade restocking routes, mining (24/7/365 short haul fleet operation that move billions of tonnes), smelter and processing power plants.

"By default, driverless passenger vehicles and trucks can ride anywhere in the United States, unless a state explicitly says they can’t. "

how is that possible? what constitutes a "driverless" vehicle? If I build some piece of crap in my garage that barrels down the road and nearly kills ten people, versus one of Musk's cars does the same thing because of a bug in their touchscreen, these are both "shrugs, what can you do?" situations? I'm pretty sure I'd be arrested and Musk would not.

No, there has to be a reason to determine unemployment benefit eligibility.

No smart company will ever put down "don't like them" or something more PC like, "culture misalignment." That's an invitation for legal issues. They're going to tie it back to performance as much as they can, and that takes time and effort.

A bonafide genius might be able to build a similar reputation for 3 pseudonyms in as much time and effort as it takes for a more average person to build 1.

Obviously most people are not bonafide geniuses and they know it, so there’s always a lingering fear of being taken in somehow.
"As for disk speed, dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output bs=128k count=50k; rm -f /tmp/output reports 1.6 GB/s which is 3.6x slower than my Mac Studio, and 3x slower than my Intel (which has the same M.2 stick). I'm told that Intel and Apple are just better at this, but I wish I understood why. "

Can anyone here answer why this is?
The author seems particularly hung up on the legal implications and consequences of being an open source contributor or project maintainer: "not all legal consequences can be waived", "distance to the legal system", "the real world legal consequences are then stuck with me", etc. It would benefit us all for the author to be specific about these if they are indeed real, as to my knowledge these are mostly FUD.

There are certainly negative aspects to being an open source project maintainer [1] but being legally liable for code offered as-is that you did not author, or being droned by a foreign military intelligence service for accepting a backdoor contribution are not it.

> If they give up to a price-based mechanism, then you have what is considered a normally functioning market. But if price is unable to rise and thereby they have to give up to some other mechanism, then you have what is considered a shortage.

In that case I can take just about any situation that has a "shortage", then reintroduce prices. Did I just solve the shortage? Assume I haven't changed production or consumption at all.

For example, if there's a lottery then simply allow resale after the lottery runs.

> Frankly, I have no idea what your definition is. I stated that if you want to consider dreamers participants in the market then everything that comes with a cost is in shortage.

We can establish a ballpark for what a sensible price is for most things. Don't worry about the exact number right now. If every house costs $1-10, there is not a shortage. If every house costs $1B-10B, there is a shortage. I think over 90% of people you ask would agree with those two statements.

No, correctly blaming Tesla chargers for being low voltage. Here's another example with a Kia EV6:

Telsa's chargers don't work well with 800 volt cars. It would be better if they supported higher voltages like other CCS chargers do.
Who says Russia wants to kill them? Maybe it just wants to render them ineffective. That has been achieved ("Others have suffered such severe long-term cognitive and vestibular aftereffects that they can no longer function on a day-to-day basis and have been medically retired from government service.").

I think it's sensible to suspend judgment for now, but this is clearly one of the two main plausible contenders for an explanation of the observed phenomena.
Aeons ago I paid $50 to a manual shifting driving instructor to teach my wife to drive manual. It saved our relationship and she drove stick better than me as a result. The instructor’s trick was to show how a clutch works then he had his students get the vehicle moving from a stopped position by only feathering the clutch pedal. He wouldn’t let them use the accelerator pedal. Once they learned where the engagement happened in the pedal’s throw the rest was easy.
Gmail does not require one-click unsubscribe, what they actually require is that you include the “List-Unsubscribe” header in bulk emails, with a functioning mailto or http target.

If I forward your newsletter, that’s not a bulk email and it won’t include that header.

This is an important distinction that seems to get glossed over in a lot of the coverage and guides about the recent Gmail and Yahoo changes.

From oral tradition to tablets to scrolls to books to mass produced books to digital and now these LLMs, I think it’s still a good idea to preserve what we have the best we can. Not as a replacement, but a hedge against a potential library of Alexandria incident.

I could imagine a time in the near future where the models are domain-specific, and just like there are trusted encyclopedia publishers there are trusted model publishers that guarantee a certain level of accuracy.
