In the past I have thought about it as you do. But it occurs to me now that this is also a property of tech products, isn't it? These products can be built by a small team and serve millions or billions of people. The most successful ones usually expand the team (Google Maps now employs over 7,000 people!) but it remains true that only a small team is really needed to keep the thing going.

So why are tech employees thought of differently than entertainers? Why is the math so different, such that tech employees have much more predictable and favorable employment prospects?

Why? It's just an extremely accurate accelerometer. It still needs to be giving a known starting position. It doesn't replace GPS so much as augments it. Granted, the article isn't very clear on that.
>other primates don’t show signs of using signs

other primates don't show signs of using vocal language either, yet humans have it

>there aren’t many or any purely sign languages still around

we're the only species of modern humans who survived, maybe Neanderthals/Denisovans etc. used sign language, who knows

maybe the fact that we started using vocal language made us much more superior evolutionarily speaking, making other similar species without developed vocal tracts extinct (by our warfare/assimilation)

deaf/mute people around the world have always historically come up with ways to talk using signs (different unrelated systems), i.e. we still have the means to do it, but it's unnecessary when you can produce sounds (freeing your hands to do work)
I don’t feel optimistic about this.
Those things aren't closely related biologically, so not a good analogy. "Human" isn't a precise biological category, it's just based on how the word is used, unlike homo sapiens. And some people, including scientists, use it to mean closely related species of hominids. Or hominids generally.
Cut the processing time in half while doubling the load!

The average cow, pre-jamboree, spends one hour in the hospital, including time waiting for a slot in the OR. Then you give the surgeon a power saw that allows him to complete the job in half the time, but he also gets twice as many cows to work on.

Most people's intuition would tell them the cows would still spend an hour in the hospital (the doubling in work rate canceled by the doubling in work amount), but actually now it takes half an hour -- regardless of how swamped the surgeon was initially.
"Dealing with it" often just meant becoming an alcoholic, or a woman/child abuser, or other unhealthy outlets for your depression.

It depends on what you mean by "more likely to announce things with no industrial relevance". If we are including humanities, then yes. If we exclude humanities, then no. Nearly all current STEM advancements can be traced back to early university work because industries normally do not pay for R&D because of its high risk, low reward effort. Not to mention, it's a money sink.
Even current AI models come straight from university work, intermixed with private industry who often apply these concepts and scale them, but aren't the idea originators.

It's absolutely frustrating every single month. Sometimes I have to make sure to have a week or more of extra medication just to have enough medication to manage my executive functioning well enough to be able to stay on top of the pharmacy so I can get my medication that manages my executive functioning.

I liken it more to a shortage of insulin and everything the diabetic can eat screws with their blood sugar horribly because that's how society kind of works for someone with ADHD and executive functioning. Everything is frustrating, everything is waiting, everyone seems so fucking slow (and it's not their fault you have to give people grace), everything basically "drains the tank".

I have to work with my doctor and the pharmacy in order to adjust my prescription so I could be prescribed the right kind of medication that works for me that also jives nicely with what the pharmacy inventory gets and I also have to make sure none of this looks like drug-seeking behavior so I have to talk with full disclosure with my doctor and be very forthright with frustrations. It's been a nightmare since the shortage happened. And if I didn't have other people in my life that care, I wouldn't be able to handle any of it on my own especially during the months when getting my prescription was more than just the next day after my prescription runs out usually.
"Bullying" is part of human behavior. Trying to rid the world of this sounds utopian e.g. dangerous.

Alternatively, children having reach and access to bully other children at any time and any place (more specifically, in their own home) is only made possible through technology. Social media absolutely deserves attention.

Also: I was bullied as a child and I suspect this is a claim most adults of any generation can make.

It is not always cheap to change orbit around Earth, the old Heinlein quote:

"If you can get your ship into orbit, you're halfway to anywhere."

is mostly wrong. If you wanted to send up a satellite to pick up little bits of trash and bring them to one place for processing you would have to use fuel to maneuver from one to another: it is cheap to change the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_anomaly

but other orbit changes in LEO can be about as expensive as launching a rocket up from Earth. There is no point, for instance, in sending a cargo to the space station and then launching it in a polar orbit. The space station we have has no potential as a staging area to go to the Moon or Mars because it is in the wrong orbit. The cost of moving things around is one reason why Terra is the low-cost source of resources throughout the solar system still.

Now you can move space junk around without using fuel, instead you can hit the space junk with a laser which will evaporate off a bit of the surface and push it:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1110.3835

the usual idea is that you use this to deorbit space junk but you could also use this to change the orbit of a piece so maybe you could gather a bunch of them in one place or maybe somebody could use such a laser to engineer collisions. The laser they describe in that paper is almost like a tractor or pressor beam from science fiction.

I am slightly confused, and perhaps misunderstanding your framing.

I do use DMARC and SPF in the fashion you described. In my environments I typically need to take every measure to ensure only authorized services/servers/senders are sending, via authorized hosts and IPs, and this often changes based on subdomain, so that’s why I use strict alignment. Personally I strive to keep various services strictly separated by (sub)domain.
> Last year, 48% of creator-earners made $15,000 or less, according to NeoReach, an influencer marketing agency. Only 13% made more than $100,000.

I'm not sure what the definition of "creator-earners" are, but 13% of them making over $100k a year is pretty impressive.

I would have guessed that percentage to be in the low single digits. I wonder how many are making more than $50-60k/yr.

Yes there are and a lot of the work is already done.
There is and it’s largely why most influencers aren’t worth a penny. The majority of them use growth hacks like paying for followers and engagement, which might stroke their ego when numbers go up but advertisers don’t want to pay for exposure to bots. It’s a market for narcissistic lemons.
I think one thing that really causes people to worry about Kessler Syndrome unnecessarily are satellite visualizations.

Out of necessity, they have to display every object as at least 1 pixel. But that typically dramatically overstates the size of most objects in relation to the size or earth.

Most visualizations make it look like Earth is absolutely covered with satellites. Whereas in reality, those satellites are the size of a car or smaller. 8000 cars might not even fill up a good sized stadium parking lot, much less the entire surface of the Earth. And many of those satellites are orbiting at different altitudes, so they're even more spread out than just the surface of the Earth.

Yes. Most actors end up doing it as a hobby in community theatre or as a minor part of a company. Most musicians playing in bars have a job to pay the bills. Most artists make art for their friends or to sell at flea markets.

We're just (re)learning that this rule applies to influencers as well.
PCIe 1.0 to 5.0 used NRZ (non return to zero) electrical signaling for transmission. In NRZ signaling at high rate and over long distances, there are challenges w.r.t clock recovery, DC balance and error correction. To deal with this, encoding is used.

Encoding is basically a block of data (a sequence of zeros and ones) is represented as a sequence of electrical voltage changes (a block of symbols).

GT/s does stand for Giga Transfers per second. Here, the transfers are referring to number of symbols transferred per second, and not actual usable data bits per second.

We say GT/s instead of Gbps, because the actual usable bits/sec is determined by the encoding scheme used.

PCIe 1.0 and 2.0 encoded 8 data bits in 10 symbols (NRZ electrical signals). That's 20% overhead.

PCIe 3.0 to 5.0 encoded 128 bits of data in 130 symbols. That's a much lower overhead of 1.54%.

PCIe 6.0 (& yet to be standardized PCIe 7.0) use PAM4 for signaling and doesn't required any encoding on top –hence it is written as 1b/1b. (btw, in PAM4, each symbol is 2 bits).

You can see similar NRZ signaling with encoding in SATA, Ethernet, Fiber Channel etc. Btw, PAM4 with NRZ is used as well!

Coming to latency, latency is the time it takes for a single bit of usable data to transfer from A to B. Many factors affect this latency. Signaling medium's speed of transmission (a fraction of speed of light), signaling medium's length, signaling frequency (Mhz, Ghz etc of voltage switching), encoding scheme (encoding overhead, clock recovery or its failure and hence retransmissions, error detection/correction quality or its failure and hence retransmissions) - each of these things affect the latency of usable data.

GT/s = Signal Frequency x Bits per cycle.

Remember, PAM4 encoding in PCIe6.0 has 2 bits per cycle (2 bits per symbol).
Thanks for showing us!

As an aside, I wouldn’t mention “2 months” anywhere but to your friends here. To someone working hard on a project, 2 months can feel like an eternity. To someone outside that project, 2 months sounds like a pretty tiny project someone worked on for funsies.

“All you need is an account” is more of a blocker for your target market than you might expect.

I'm the author of lnav .. and not a very good writer, apologies.

I guess my main question would be, what are you expecting to get out of lnav? I use it primarily for merging log files together and just jumping around trying to understand what was happening. It has a bunch of other functionality, like using SQL for analysis, but that's not something I use regularly.

Really, a lot of the benefits of lnav are automatic, like uncompressing files, detecting log formats, tailing... So, if that's not something that comes up for you, it might just not be the tool for you.

I actually have this "not getting it" problem with VisiData/multitail. I start them up and they don't behave like I would expect when pressing hotkeys.

This is purely anecdotal, but looking at my experiences in late-primary to middle school from 2008-2012 so, the exposure to the internet from early on can be pretty bad.

8 year olds swearing left and right, talking about porn and pedos or making all sorts of unpleasant statements that you seen on 4chan can have a pretty debilitating effect on a child's development, especially before puberty has even begun. A kind of "innocence lost", a cruel and cynical culture that can envelope those who weren't exposed to it early on. Metasize that 10 years later and in 2015 or so we see the side effects of it. Now of course that might be just my school then, but it's still something I would consider today. There are certain heuristics regarding the changes in mass appeal of certain genres that I would correlate to deep, fundamental cynicism in the mainstream zeitgeist.
One good reason is if they are in the process of enshittifying websites you have been using for decades, like Gamespot, Metacritic, and Giantbomb.

They're nihilistic for a reason, I won't call my representative because its a waste of time. Privacy-minded Americans are a tiny subset of the population vs. the most powerful corporate entities and intelligence agencies in the world, there isn't anything we (or my representatives) can do or say that's going to make a meaningful difference.

> How so?

China is taking over Russian car or consumer electronics markets, for example. The trade between two countries is soaring, Western brands are being substituted by Chinese production.

> How are you defining won or lost?

Strategic imperative of the West was that European borders cannot be changed by force and the global order based on rules and international law will ensure that. It is clear now that without direct NATO involvement the best achievable outcome will be a new iron curtain on Dnepr river. No sanctions or military supplies can change that, it is just too late. This in turn means that the old order has collapsed, USA cannot be trusted as a guarantor of security, EU is not a serious power and we already see how other nations are recalculating their alignment.
It's possible the human ceases to exist once the treat is present. The same thing happens to me when there's dessert next to the salad.
It doesn't even have to be verbal, but through showing; many animals teach each other using that, and that goes back much further than 300K years ago. But there must've been a change in early humans that made it more effective, make it go beyond basic skills.

The other thing to consider is that they reached a point where they could gather food / survive more easily. If less time needs to be spent getting food - because they've reached a level of intelligence where they can, for example, store food for longer, or prepare / cook it for more efficient calorie gathering, or grow food, or share food / acquire more than an individual needs, etc - then there's more time left for cultural exchange, experimentation and play. That is, spend more time experimenting with a stone tool to make it better beyond the base necessity.

disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about. I don't actually believe early humans spent that much time surviving, looking at apes they seem to spend a lot of time just sitting around.
How would thinking be determined by exterior stimulus, when we all vary to some extent to the same stimulus? Behaviorism was found wanting because it didn't account properly for goes on between the ears. And the rest of the body, which makes us individuals. The idea of free will comes from the fact that people do make different choices. We make different choices than our past selves did. From a compatibilist perspective, one could say free will comes from being part of determining what goes on. Things don't just happen to us. We participate in what does happen. We're not simply puppets on the string of the external world. We're just as much a part of causing things as everything else is.
I attempted to clarify my statement in my response to sneak. I am concerned that if there are people in government acting nefariously, these bad actors are free to continue unchallenged. If that is what is happening, then I suspect that this flaw exists in many democracies, if not all of them. I am by no means an expert in government, but I believe that with the way things are currently structured those leading our nations are operating without sufficient checks and balances to ensure their good intent. I am talking about investigating every government leader with a utility to ensure they are acting favorably with respect to peace, order, and good government in perpetuity.
Nitpick, but it's 'bad rap', as in rap sheet.
> Wouldn't multiple transmission between generations and the comparison of diverging stories of the older generation in a newer generation work like an error correction?

I doubt it - which one is the "correct" message is going to be up to chance, not up to a network effect.

Even if you take the optimistic approach and only retain that knowledge that is common to all branches, there is a vanishingly small chance that the correct knowledge would be retained, because the errors in transmission are not going to be completely random - the sort of error one oral storyteller introduces is going to be similar to the errors introduced by other storytellers.[1]

It's why the history of tribes who did not write things down is treated as myths: the myth-makers are likely to weave whatever current affairs into existing mythology to "explain" new observations, in the process discarding what was there in the first place.

When the record is written down, at least we can read what was thought at the time of writing.

[1] Completely made-up example: Original story -> Crocodile dragged off tribes best warrior. Probable error after gen-10 -> Crocodile is double the original size. Probable error after gen-20 -> Longer than a man. Probable error after gen-30 -> Taller than a man. Probable error after gen-40 -> Walks around, bipedal.
