Context: in the 2010s, Wells Fargo management looked the other way while its sales force scammed customers, creating millions of fraudulent accounts (with associated fees) to meet performance targets and quotas [1]. The Fed imposed an asset cap as punishment in 2018, and as of today, the asset cap remains in place.

Human attention sink where you can throw ads and other propaganda, what else?
Well, unless you don't trust the server.
I will happily die on the hill that the marginal utility at $200k vs $700k is a pure function of your lifestyle, even in high cost-of-living areas (I live in one of the highest!). Your choice of adjectives "modestly", "fairly small", "quite comfortably", and "quite a bit" that are ways for smuggling lifestyle choices into the equation, which might apply to you but are by no means universal.

This boils down to "if you have more money, you can spend more money and maybe retire early". This is not a line of reasoning I'm trying to refute.

Dependents are an interesting wrinkle that is worth discussing separately. But let's stay on the straight and narrow, we can talk about in another comment if you wish.

> And I don't think your (1) & (2) points really make sense here. Investments compound over time

The reason I invoked these points was not to compare "could you save $50k at age 22 or $10k at age 22?", it was to compare "could you save $10k at age 22 or $50k at age 32?"

If you're beginning a high-income career later in life, the time-value of money is different because you have less time.

If you start early, you actually need to earn less to hit the same comparatively "fixed" long-term savings goals, because you have more time to compound.

Again, be careful to avoid falling back on "if you have more money, you'll have more money, which is obviously good".

> And I wouldn't even consider all this to be lifestyle creep

Regularly dining at fancy restaurants (anything in the Michelin orbit), taking luxurious vacations (I'd define as anything north of $300/day), and purchasing expensive toys (I don't think this needs any qualification...) is indeed the definition of lifestyle creep, and it's A-OK that they aren't sustainable at $200k/yr.

You can live extremely comfortably without these things. Whether you perceive them as acceptable or not is a you thing, not an objective thing. We actually do get to choose our values and our hobbies!
Good - drive them to invest in RISC-V instead.
These kinds of comments make me think few people have actually tried. My experience has been 1 work day of getting things set up to work the same as before for training and testing (PyTorch).

I work in infosec, and this sounds like a communication failure on the whistleblower's part.

Contrary to what many people believe, the profits should be prioritized over security for the most companies, that's only natural (after all, they don't generate any profits themselves, typically). The key is finding the right balance for this tradeoff.

Business leaders are the ones that are responsible for figuring out the acceptable risk level. They already deal with that every day, so it's nonsensical to claim they aren't capable of understanding risk. InfoSec's role for the most part is being a good translator, by identifying the technical issues (vulnerabilities, threats, missing best practices) that go beyond the acceptable risk profile and to present these findings to the business stakeholders, using the language they understand.

Either the guy wasn't convincing enough, or he failed to figure out the things business cares about & present the identified risk in these terms.

I guess Iraq and Iran would technically win in this scenario.
Interesting thanks. I interpreted "lightweight" to mean available features. i.e. just the persistent connection, none of the other bloat[1].

[1]: to be clear, I don't mean "bloat" in a negative way. I'm a long time tmux user and I love it, absolutely love it, and won't be giving it up anytime soon. I don't personally think it has any bloat. But, I use the features. If one only wanted persistent connections, then all of tmux is quite a bit of bloat. It's all perspective.

Machines are great at generating text, yet I've never seen anything generated indicating emotional depth. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's always a "poseur" aspect to the material. The same is true for all generated music I've heard thus far. There's a certain quality that's just off, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's not going to be resolved with an improved algorithm.

My two cents worth.

1. This is why we research things before buying them for a purpose.

2. I never asked for AI. Every company thinks we all do, but I am not competing with my peers. Just being the genuine me.

3. Rants aside, merely recognizing a photo, more so than “IMG_0160.JPG” is about 25 years too late for both me and Apple, and is extremely welcome (image search is currently so idiotic that I use it for chuckles) though I suspect that I’ll have to lock my photos into iPhoto, the second most opaque piece of software Apple ever wrote, to use it. I like my files as files, not as a tree organized by date and time, and locked inside an application for general use. (Hello Gimp)
Interesting. With all the mega bucks and efforts to produce smaller wavelength photon beams, I wonder if a comparable investment would increase throughput? Or maybe there is an insurmountable technical hurdle.

That is a marked improvement compared to the other examples provided. Nice to see it also has less compute resources required for that higher quality output.
Reprocessing and vitrification are certainly not financed in the bill since these require separate infra and nuclear pp can operate without them. Usually the waste is going through several stages of cooling and stored underground 'till reprocessing is possible/economically profitable'
I think that context about the company in the article is context about the article, but I understand your difference of opinion.

To see my point, consider this pull quote from Wells Fargo which is contained in the article:

> “Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior,” a company spokesperson said in a statement.

It is important to understand that this is coming from a company whose recent unethical behavior went far beyond what anyone really thought plausible.
You hardly enough know anything about the project to make an assumption about the absence of QA. If you were an employee there, and you had specific concerns, that would be worth something. You made it up because you had no real point.

In the late 90s, I managed the EA Tech Support website. The support/QA* teams would have massive after-hours gaming sessions playing Serious Sam. It was the only FPS that ran consistently on our work PCs, and it was a ton of fun.

* At least at that time, EA QA and Tech Support had a lot of overlap; support guys would be come in-house beta testers in the Summer when they were trying to get games done for the holidays and do Tech Support in the Winter around Christmas when the calls went up.

Just so you know, the comment immediately below yours proposes a solution where satellites are designed not to burn up at all and are aimed at Australia during reentry.

Perhaps someone can clarify this for me, but would you actually need invasive monitoring to detect that they are trying to fake doing their work when working from home? I'm assuming this would show up at some point in the employee's individual performance at which point the low performance would eventually get them fired anyways?
SCOTUS also ruled in the abortion pill case [1]. 9-0 decision that the plaintiffs do not have standing to sue the FDA, thus the rules the FDA added to ease access to abortion pills stand. The crux of the argument being that they can present their case to the executive or legislative branches, but the courts are the wrong place to address the plaintiffs' concerns.

> San Francisco-based Wells Fargo started requiring employees to return to the office under a “hybrid flexible model” in early 2022. The bank now expects most staffers to be in the office at least three days a week, while members of management committee are in four days and many employees, such as branch workers, are in five days.

How is this a "flexible model"? This kind of newspeak is depressing.

From comments here, it sounds like if Qualcomm wins, the ARM/Nuvia deal isn't the problem, the ARM/Qualcomm one is. ARM probably already doesn't like to make broad licensing deals like that, but big customers like them, and ARM in the past couldn't afford to say no.
Interesting — thanks
My guess is failing to read between the lines and taking marketing too seriously.

Before Rust, in the early age of C, even Rust would've have been considered impossible. But is it really mathematically impossible?

I use tmux strictly for persistence only, and WezTerm for layout etc. so this is definitely an alternative for me.

This is very interesting to me as it seems to provide persistence with much less cognitive overhead than tmux or even screen sessions, which are enough that I often don't bother and just use SSH. I also find tmux has a noticable latency overhead (on every terminal I've tried) so I wouldn't use it locally anyway.

Suffice to say this is very interesting and I'll check it out.
OSHA has a nice pamphlet regarding hazard identification and hazard controls. The least effective method of protecting workers is to put the risk on the worker to protect themselves. Your view has a similar vibe to "well they weren't wearing their hard hat and so it's their fault," a view that has been rejected across the board for safety in favor of the view that even letting the situation get to that point is a failure.

New Programming Langauge Makes Bash Scripting Easier
That's not true. There are huge investments needed to upgrade nuclear power plants over their lifetime, which typically will need to be run long past its estimated lifetimes. A lot of upgrades are even not possible. The powerplant also ages. The steel ages. The pipes age. The software and computers are no longer in production. France now needs billions just to keep their old fleet running, which is based on outdated technology and designs. "Grand Carénage" is estimated to cost 50 billion Euros. EDF, the owner would be bankrupt, if the French government hadn't taken over the whole industry, where the tax payer now finances the losses.

Plus most nuclear powerplants don't cover the costs after a shutdown, incl. dealing with the materials and their radiation. We have often seen that the money available is not covering the costs of dealing with waste, spent fuel, etc. -> tax payer covers it -> the French government can't increase the state controlled electricity prices, without huge public protests.

I believe you're deluding yourself. Firstly, KGB wasn't the only option available to him to get a technical education, nor the only job available.

Do you have a number for "that many enemies"? If article is giving one, I couldn't find it. There are plenty of modern games that is multiplayer and supports enemy numbers that I would consider "massive". Or massive number of players if that is that matters.
The article clarifies the difference between "programming language safety" and "safety-critical systems":

> Programming language safety refers to a language’s ability to prevent errors or undefined behaviors at compile time or runtime. On the other hand, "safety-critical" refers to a system’s ability to operate without causing accidents or catastrophic failures that will result in harm to people, property or the environment. So, while safety-critical systems rely on languages that emphasize safety and security, such as Rust, programming tools are only one component of the overall strategy.

I've been thinking about the potential impact of AI on the job market, particularly in the tech industry. There's a growing narrative that AI can handle the tasks typically assigned to junior or entry-level developers. As a result, we're seeing some developers become significantly more productive with the aid of AI, which might reduce the overall need for hiring new devs.

If this continues, we could / will face a shortage of senior devs in the future. As the current senior devs retire or move on, there might not be enough experienced devs to fill their roles because the initial demand for junior devs has decreased. This potential gap could have significant implications for the industry. What happens then?

> In 2022, workers at a Starbucks cafe on Poplar Avenue in Memphis became among the first in the company to unionize. Early in their efforts, they allowed a television news crew into the cafe after hours to talk about the union campaign.

Interesting context.
This. Some days I work one hour. Other days I work from sunrise to sunset. I'm always available during office hours, but I'm not going to be surveilled in my own home. If I'm doing my job, let me keep it, and if not, tell me how to improve, but I am not a rat for some middle manager to prod to justify his salary.

If my well-done work is not good enough for an employer, than we are an impasse that will not be resolved, and there are plenty of other places to work.

It turns out for all the incredible amounts of money spent on adding “legibility” and “metrics” and a bunch of other bullshit that’s good at making graphs that make the C-suite go “ooh! Ahh!” we have basically no fucking clue how to measure individual productivity or value-add of entire categories of worker.

Including and especially all forms of management. Like, it’s an area of research, and the TL;DR for anyone attempting to actually apply the research is that we have no damn clue.

it's laughable because i doubt they have any proof that Qualcomm will continue to deliver updates. fairphone is just a intermediary.

they are using the long life Qualcomm parts, that only guarantee production and stock for x years. maybe with software updates by an intern.

it definitely will not guarantee a new driver set compiling to a recent kernel if the old kernel must be upgraded for security or anything else.

so it's kinda bold they promise that with out any disclaimer that they are just hopeful
