I like the phrasing here.
I guess there was still an expectation that out of that population, anyone could reply to anyone about seemingly anything remotely relevant. I suspect a lot of people online don't see it like that anymore, and in some cases might even be surprised that anyone is responding to them at all.

The rudeness is definitely the big issue with modern social media though, and as you said, that comes from how enormous these sites/services are now.
The way releases are done and security is handled, one can argue that it makes sense to stay one major version behind - as long as it is a version to which security patches are applied regularly.
> _and_ charging for early access to an update to make it playable with Yuzu.

From my understanding, this part is not true (though it is widely touted).

There were third parties that made the necessary fixes to run the game in their own forks, but Yuzu proper did not release any fixes until after the game came out, even in the pre-release versions.
> And I would bet that tech SWE has a far higher probability of launching you into $10M+ range than quant finance

$1B net worth? Google has more SWEs than the entire quant finance industry globally. Yet Google could only produce what, 4 billionaires?

$10M TC at Google? That’s at most 500 VPs out of 150,000 employees. That’s 0.3%. Not good odds. More than 7 people (0.3% x 2500) at Jane Street are making $10M+…

Same logic applies to $1M TC. Tech has okay chances, but quant is simply multiples better. Only if you got lucky at Tesla or NVIDIA. Otherwise your L5-E5 comp maxes at 600-800k including RSU appreciation.

Then for junior/new grad, quant firms win again. 300-500k quant SWE offers vs 200-300k in tech.

Hell, even for summer internships, quant trading firms pay SWE interns $20-25k/month. Also on levels.fyi

It seems likely that the extension could be customized to any Mediawiki instance? As an admin I'd love to be able to use it elsewhere. This looks like it could be a great tool working with test users on stuff like information architecture, to see the path of how they found information. (I know there are better tools for that, but something that focuses tightly on wiki interactions would be useful to me.)

Whole areas of publishing are trying “have an expert write a book mostly with AI, then have an editor un-fuck it”. There are tons of businesses trying this “brilliant” plan right now.

From what I can tell, the labor savings is… low, and maybe zero. The output’s such trash, it takes enormous effort to clean it up. This stuff only seems to be a huge time-saver when someone doesn’t give any shits about how good the output is—so, mostly spam, scams, and astroturfing.

[edit] to temper the pessimism, it is really nice in small ways, in capable hands. But it’s not gonna be replacing many workers any time soon. Outside helping editors and writers with idea generation and little touch-ups, it’s great for non-writers who want to maintain a consistent tone in e.g. marketing copy, but requires the operator to have good taste and to be fairly thoughtful, which means they’ve got to be above-average at this stuff to begin with.
Big Canadian bank I know had something like a requirement to own $450k of shares to be a board member. But they sliding scale exempted you for your first 5 years and gave you $90k in shares each year, so as long as number go up, there was no actual outlay.

That's how I feel, it felt jumbled. No structure, either in tempo or between the instruments. I'm not sure that that would be recorded, so I'm pretty sure this couldn't be how this was actually performed.

You could try using something like Synth[0]! You can hook it up to a database, it'll generate some json describing the shape and types of your data based on your database (or you could write the json yourself), then you can use Synth to generate fake data and directly insert it into your database.

Full disclosure, I'm the maintainer, but it's not like it'll cost you anything.

Sure, but Red Lobster should be able to make ends meet paying that rent. Their accountants should run the numbers and have numbers for what the restaurant made after paying rent, and what the real estate investment made from rent. Even though the same entity owns both they still need to know where the money is. If a restaurant cannot make money except that the real estate is paid off and thus rent free (or maybe bought at lower than current prices and so payments are artificially low) then they should close and rent the real estate out to someone else.

The above is something people often fail to think of. If you (as is common) have something that could be two independent business with one supplying the other, then you should have your accountants figure out the numbers for each separately. (this is not easy, and eventually not worth it)
> allows any transitive dependency to run arbitrary code on your machine at a time of installation

This point gets parroted so often on HN [1]. You can install packages with the --ignore-scripts flag to disable this behavior, or just set the option globally in your NPM config file. I do like the way Bun disables lifecycle scripts by default [2], but it takes me all of two seconds to run `npm config set ignore-scripts=true` on a new machine, so it's basically a non-issue for me.

I sense there is something very powerful buried in here which is worth spending time to grok.

My understanding is that this is a Forth system, that tries to address a big problem with such systems, the messiness around "immediate" words, etc. It does this by using a global variable called crank.

When someone is comfortable dismissing extremely influential thinkers because they "don't remember and had a feeling it was dumb", they aren't engaged in a serious conversation, and they aren't a serious thinker. This isn't how actual philosophy works. Your intellectual laziness isn't my problem.

Feyerabend is widely considered one of the most influential philosophers of science of the 20th century. This is not controversial. These are not crackpots, unless you think that the entire field of academic philosophy is composed of crackpots. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if you did.

https://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2010/10/most-signific...

https://plato.stanford.edu/ENTRIES/feyerabend/

As far as your "useful result," one example of the man's influence is right here, on a highlighted section on Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Feyerabend#Outside_philos...

Your arrogant attitude here is very anti-science and very anti-curiosity. Dismissing someone that clearly is considered an expert in their field because they seemed "devoid of merit" is both lazy and ignorant. Again, you may disagree with Feyerabend (or with anyone else), but your lack of knowledge on something is not equivalent to a counterargument. A counterargument requires knowledge of the argument – which you neither have nor are interested in acquiring.

If you want to actually write something of value on the philosophy of science, I really suggest you go read a book about it first. If you think you've already got the answers and can easily dismiss a respected thinker's work because you "deemed it devoid of merit, maybe, but I can't remember," there isn't much serious philosophical discussion to have here.
The article isn't about that vaccine.
You’re right, I don’t like your comment. It always amazes me how heartless you libertarian types can be.

Food and a roof are basics, not a luxury. The fact that a significant number of people in this world don’t have those things speaks more to our failure to provide.

And there was a transition period where younger people need to know that the term could be ambiguous. It's not like they burned all the maths texts in 1974 and replaced them with newer literature. Older text books were probably in use into the 80s and perhaps the 90s.

From the writing of the era, it's clear this new definition for million was not popular, and many chose to continue using the "British meaning." So it was probably in colloquial use for quite a while, and the transitional term "1 thousand million" became the proper style.
Could be there are just a lot of Boeing whistleblowers.
I used to work there - the jane street code review software is awesome, kind of like graphite but it works reliably. You can write a big tree of PRs. PRs get reviewed separately and you can merge them in any order at your leisure, without worrying too much about rebase issues or clobbering review or whatever. I would love to have some open source thing like that that actually works nearly as well. It may exist, but I haven't seen it yet.

And yeah, jane street is a pretty compelling demo that A) NIH syndrome is fine if you're good at writing software and B) it doesn't really matter that much if you use a mature language or some uncommon immature language

UnitedHealth data breach caused by lack of multifactor authentification
“Everyone always acts in their own self-interest” is a hyperstition — if enough people believe it, this will become true. But it is also possible that most doctors go into medicine to cure patients and that most nurses want to do the job they signed up for. That humans are inherently social creatures who have intrinsic desires which can be things other than personal financial gain, and that the social context in which they experience these desires affects whether it’s a “good idea” to act on them. You are discarding every bit of pure altruism, every bit of pride in a job well done, every bit of contributing to your community for the good of all.

The rise of the American administrative sociopath is neither a fait accompli nor a laudable end-goal.
But it's still better than discarding the whole thing, isn't it?
> I get your point, but it's going to be impossible to change anything and maintain every single person's workflow:

A configurable OS is harder and more expensive to maintain for MS and developers, so the trend is to reduce it in order to fit the 90% of the use cases and throw the 10% (arbitrary numbers) of workflows out.

Can't really blame them, but just so people understand the frustrations of others.

Edit: I guess one neat thing about my page is that you get a readout of the characters in your critter. Obviously you could just copy-paste from that field at the bottom of the Tunera page into any other text field and find out that way, but I did find it helpful when I was trying to experiment.
I would say the only reasonable and logical explanation is that these nurses are just salty that they have missed the AI stock craze and they just want to generate a dip for a buy-in. Gotta look out for those 4d chess moves. taps head

The article doesn't touch the issue of land grabbing, that I think it would be important on discussing economic viability of cattle ranching vs. reforestation efforts. When you're trying to out-compete ranching, at least in Brazil, very often "ranching" means not only the lawful activity of selling produced beef/milk, as one may think at first. You also must out-compete the profits from illegal schemes that go along with it. For example, the land registry in Brazil is very unreliable, so there's a large criminal "industry" profiting through public lands stealing, by deforesting protected areas, setting ranches, and later using fake documents to sell these areas as if they were grandfathered private properties. Other schemes use cattle in money laundering, for example, through inflated sales of prized animal specimens, or their semen for supposed artificial insemination purposes, where a small sample sometimes is sold for millions, giving cover for illegal money from other activities (gold digging in indigenous lands, deforestation/land grabbing, drug trafficking, fauna smuggling, et cetera).

Without a crackdown on such cattle ranching adjacent illegal activities, I'm pessimistic any carbon-credit based efforts will have a significant impact.

Not op, but my main recommendation would be to visit greek in spring or autumn and not in summer, unless you really like it hot. Spring can be more wet, so late autumn, when most of the tourists are gone, but while it is still warm enough, would be my recommendation.

The Western economies are focused on managing orderly decay and concentrating wealth into the elderly and elites. Not growth. Not durability. They are fragile, that’s why the money supply jumps to meet gaps. Expect more inflation in the West, you need a depression (short) imo to change this dynamic.

Russia, China, and Iran have a winning strategy. The West is about to lose this war and potentially its role in shaping global order. The Rest will rise up shortly after.

Maybe that’s good/bad, but global volatility has risks either way.
The airspace they fly through isn't a very nice place to be, so actually getting three of them to hit the tank may take more than three, or maybe three plus various systems to counter various other systems operated by the tank's friends. Air defense and electronic warfare equipment can be expensive and hard to produce.

Drones also haven't made anyone stop using tanks, which means they still need them for something important. If they get blown up more often you need an even bigger tank manufacturing industry making more, and countries with higher GDPs are pretty much always better at that.

Then we'll probably put anti-drone systems on the tanks and make them even more expensive. War is a rich man's game.

Can someone help explain restaurant industry economics?

when the business starts out, it's high risk and low margin. Tons of capital investment. Labor intensive and hard to staff. If you are lucky you are pulling 15% margins

Besides some exceptions, if you are lucky you may get some growth for 5-10 years. Then your brand falls out of favor (trends) and you spiral into bankruptcy.

I used to work at Teleport and am now at Tailscale. Both are solid products. Sad to see the Team offering disappearing but sounds like they are moving more towards large enterprise vs the small/medium startup/growth companies (while I was there we had a really healthy mid-market team but I think it's all gone now).

Take a look at Tailscale. If you are all in on AWS then using SSM is solid but if you have general access or other cloud access then Tailscale can probably help you out there.
You and GP are both right. There's a huge divergence in entertainment pricing. Stuff you can do at home (movies, tv, video games, books and social media) is dirt cheap and may be getting cheaper.

"Outside" entertainment is getting vastly more expensive. Average hotels are charging eye watering prices the world over. Concert tickets are astronomical. Restaurant prices and fees are out of control. Any type of rental, tour or other type of activity on vacation feels extortionate. Airline tickets are hundreds or thousands of dollars for a tiny economy seat.

I think this is largely driven by monetary and fiscal policy that disproportionately benefits the rich (Paycheck Protection Program, low interest rates). If you give people who are poor more money, I believe they will spend it on things that stabilize and improve their day to day lives so you'd expect to see inflation in things like food and medicine. If you give money to people that are already stable, they will spend it on things the things that we see are having very high inflation: improved housing, vacations, luxury goods.
They're better for a lot of people, but certainly not all. I find the "Correct Horse Battery Staple" approach to be a much more difficult approach to remember and use than just a randomly generated string.
Yes. I find it amusing I sparked a debate on what might be beyond the observable universe, when my point was entirely about what you could theoretically observe in the night sky.
REM sleep takes place much sooner than 4 hours. It takes place at about 90 minutes of sleep. And, hopefully, the sleeper goes through several cycles throughout the night. I would be screwed if it took that long to get to REM as I wake up 4-5 times a night.

"No computer, no AI can replace a human touch,” said Amy Grewal, a

Sadly, this is terrible tactics. The people they are protesting do not see lack of empathy as a problem and probably even see it as a feature, as empathy is a bug from their point of view.

They'd be much better off talking about how obviously bad the care being given is and how easily people will be able to sue them for criminal negligence. And also, I've heard, you know, not that I'd ever do this, but I've heard some other nurses are even starting to tip off the patients that this is something they should sue over and giving them pointers on what to ask for during discovery. Certainly not something I'd ever do and I don't know any nurses personally who do this. I've just heard rumors. If you get my drift.

I'm not celebrating it, just calling it like it is.

Evidence indicates that speed limits need to be enforced by some other method. Nearly 1/3 of all fatal accidents are a result of speeding. Speeding is so commonplace that people barely even pay attention to it.
