Just for the sake of sheer pedantry. The scale for measuring the _ratio_ is Rankine. You can measure differences with an _ordinal_ scale, which is what Celsius and Fahrenheit are.
One wonders if increasing the compensation offered for these jobs might result in less vacancies. I mean, I've heard theories (only theories, mind you) that this could have some effect. Seems unlikely, but maybe worth a try?
> It gets taxed as personal income so where is the problem?

The thread was about non-profits. So it's a way to run a non-profit that meets the letter of the law but keeps raking in enourmous profits by shifting them elsewhere.

There are other scenarios as well where this is abused. For instance regulated corporations that are supposed to have a cap on profits in an attempt to control prices. But that fails, because they can raise prices infinitely and just shift the profits elsewhere.

Badging the Luddites as regressive dummies was never historically accurate, but has been a highly effective anti-labor framing.

It might be that what I am describing falls short of aphantasia (though my difficulties recalling motionless faces do suggest it).

I sometimes wonder if what it actually is, is a kind of fundamentally unexplored thought or experience.

There's a bunch of other examples.

Like... I can't _really_ tell my left from my right on an instinctive level, though I believe this to be inherited because I have relatives who can't.

Ask me directions in a hurry and I'll get them wrong even when I am sure they are right. I don't really have a "left" and a "right"; I have two sides that don't feel that different.

So I also can't really use mirrors well.

I have surprisingly quick and accurate reflexes for catching falling things but I can't catch a ball thrown to me.

The question about all of these things is: are they just things I have never found the right way to deliberately work through into a conscious process? Are they things I can't do now because I didn't learn when my brain was fresh?
"to be done" is doing a great deal of work in "The amount of work to be done..."

There's no fixed definition of how much work needs to be done. Different people may have different interests and standards that lead them to prefer that more, less and/or different work is carried out. The amount of work to be done can certainly be bounded for some people in some situations.
It would depend on the generation of CP/M. CP/M 1.0 and 1.1 had Gary Kildall dealing with it when he came off duty from a nuclear submarine. CBASIC (from Compiler Systems aka Gordon Eubanks) dated from the same period and was also a part time activity for a nuclear sailor. CP/M 3.0 was mature - you had a lot of professional compiler companies like Prospero, Borland, FTL, and HiSoft, but by that stage. Some of them, like Prospero and HiSoft dated back to the CP/M 2.2 era, and I got the impression that they had three or four staff.

Well in that case, Alice still needs a public key. The real issue is if the plain text of the signed message is leaked, at which point someone interested in Alice's message history can just go through the leaked messages and see which ones correspond to Alice's key. No need to reverse engineer the key from the message.

Energy would be a non-issue if we'd have went full-in on nuclear. It would be so cheap we would all be heating our houses with resistive heaters and running all the AI farms we want in our basements without a second thought. Instead we let stupidity win.
I wonder how long the sensors on those cameras can survive being pointed up at the sky like that. Surely the image quality would deteriorate over time as the sun destroys the sensor until it eventually stops working.
If only there was a power source that could be carbon free and constant (fission) that could be married to a variable load (AI and Bitcoin) to maintain peak efficiency

This statement is so general that I feel it doesn’t really say anything.

It’s true that Larry Ellison didn’t become a billionaire by buying and holding index funds. But for people who don’t feel a strong desire to buy their own yacht, index funds can be a very good investment.

Nor does it capture that you might be holding your hands in different ways, such as which side is rotated up.
I eagerly read some of the other posts on the author's site and came away rather disappointed. But, that doesn't detract from my appreciation of this one.
>It seems like you're trying to portray the problem as a dichotomy: "product" vs "goodness of heart". That other ways pose problems doesn't mean much. The current side of the false dichotomy causes problems as in the OP.

Their suggestions last people who "just want to deny it happens" and their solution is to just let the government pay for it (spoilers: it's allready subsidized), so I don't exactly understand why you think I'm establishing a dictonimy.

Yes. People are unironically arguing to simply abolish copyright. It's an extreme solution and I disagree. I haven't heard many good moderate solutions out there because people are so pro-piracy that I'm inclined to think they don't care about the people behind novel ideas, just benefiting off their work. You get tit for tat with that sort of thinking.

I have moderate ideas, but as I've learned moderate tales fade to the extremities if you aren't even slightly aligned. We're very disaligned here, so the starting step to to show why that extreme take is bad and work from there.

Now that I never said the current system is fine. Because that's not my argument, nor the one the other extreme take needs to hear. But if that's all you got from my chain I suppose I need to do the same thing with you.

Why did you react to "but people need to survive" with "well it NEEDS to be a product"? Compensation comes in many ways, and I was simply saying that the government has historically been horrible at compensating most parts of any industry. What makes this time with books different?
I'm confused because economically it doesn't add up.

Shortages of labor should lead to higher wages. Supply and demand.

So it would make sense to relax laws prohibiting working more than 40hrs in order to unleash additional economic output i.e. increase the amount of money made.

The article claims that for some reason that defies logic, it will just make employers demand more work for same amount of money.

I see two possibilities for that.

A country-wide collusion between employers to fix wages. That doesn't seem possible. If employer A has profit to spare and could make even more profit if he had more employees, what logic would lead him to NOT raise wages and steal workers from employer B? The wages should raise because workers would migrate to the highest paying jobs.

Or there just isn't profit to pay more in which case there's noting the government can do either way.
Raiffeisen is european for credit union.
So the way we're using this is this:

* We write our HTTP services and package them in containers.

* We add the Lambda Web Adapter into the Dockerfile.

* We push the image to ECR.

* There's a hook lambda that creates a service on ECS/Fargate (the first-party Kubernetes equivalent on AWS) and a lambda.

* Both are prepped to receive traffic from the ALB, but only one of them is activated.

For services that make sense on lambda, they ALB routes traffic to the lambda, otherwise to the service.

The other comments here have more detailed arguments over which service would do better where, but the decision making tree is a bit like this:

* is this a service with very few invocations? Probably use lambda.

* is there constant load on this service? Probably use the service.

* if load is mixed or if there's are lot of idle time in the request handling flow, figure out the inflection point at which a service would be cheaper. And run that.

While we wish there was a fully automated way to do this, this is working well for us.
The non-ideal state of generics in Java mostly stems from having to maintain compatibility with early versions of Java that did not have generics.

If James Gosling had "rushed" and copied generics Verbatim from CLU or Ada, Java would have had a very decent generic implementation. Not necessarily a perfect one, but it wouldn't suffer from the serious issues that C++ and Java suffer from (and more or less ONLY C++ and Java suffer from).
You can.

C# 1.0 is still valid syntax, and library authors can target both legacy and current day versions of .NET with netstandard2.0 target. Most libraries do just that.

Moreover, there are still some applications that get to use modern runtime-independent language features and SDK-style projects (terse Cargo.toml-like project manifests, still XML but they are very readable) while targeting both .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET 8 at the same time (and everything in-between them). Hell, I've seen projects[0] which look relatively modern but for some reason still target .NET Framework 3.5, I do not condone that, but it is doable and sometimes there are reasons for it.

The only data in the article that helps to understand the scale in context is this:

> It found data centers will account for 8 percent of total electricity use in the United States by 2030, a near tripling of their share today. New solar and wind energy will meet about 40 percent of that new power demand from data centers, the forecast said, while the rest will come from a vast expansion in the burning of natural gas. The new emissions created would be comparable to that of putting 15.7 million additional gas-powered cars on the road.

So all data center power (not just "AI") is currently 3-4% of US electricity consumption, and is expected to grow to 8% in 6 years.

It’s an American website, not a scientific paper. You see British publications using “stone,” when talking about body weight. Indian websites talk about “lakh” If you’re unhappy with the article, feel free to write your own. An American website has no obligation to cater to foreign audiences any more than a French website should be giving values in dollars or degrees Fahrenheit.

Forget the idiom and focus on the content itself.
Something you should consider is that plenty of people are simply not registered and take money under the table because it is beneficial to them.
I guess part of my issue with the argument is that creators seem to want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to put their work out into the public, but then they want to also control what people can do with it. These two themes, although I can see the need and logic for them, seem to be totally antithetical on a practical basis.

In some sense art creation is, indeed, a risk.. you put something out there, and then you hope it is perceived well, and hope that it isn't abused. That's what makes making art such a difficult thing.. you are putting something out there, a piece of yourself.. but not acknowledging the associated risks, that someone might hate it, that someone might not understand it, or indeed that someone might "sample" your work into a new context, is being totally disingenuous with yourself as an artist.

Of course I have no issue with the idea that artists should be fairly compensated, and the whole legal idea of copyright exists exactly for that, and I'm incredibly interested to see how this whole thing plays out in the legal sense. But I have to say that I'm not entirely convinced that using publicly available sources for training AI, that don't explicitly come with copyright terms that forbid it, is in any sense unethical, because I think it's entirely possible that it may end up being considered fair use.

Artists want to get paid, yes, but the whole "I didn't get to opt out" argument doesn't really sit well with me, because the degree of post-publication "control" being implicitly demanded in that argument doesn't seem to be very balanced. In fact you did get to opt out, software for example comes with extensive legal documents describing exactly how derivative works can use it, but books and photos generally don't, and maybe in the future they will have to, but the idea that retroactively interpreting the role of copyright on existing works to include special considerations for AI just doesn't seem that obvious. You might not like that you published work in a way that someone was able to use it in a way that you disapprove of, without explicitly forbidding said usage, but the fact is that you did. The rest is for the courts to sort out. And I think it could go either way.
I don't know a lot about Greek economy. It seems like it could be a scenario where consumers can't afford higher prices. If prices goes up then consumers bail, companies go out of business, unemployment goes down but total available jobs goes down, too. Instead, everyone's grinding their way to the bottom which isn't great, either.

Sometimes the new employee's superpower is all the good ideas they have seen in their previous jobs that they are now bringing to your company. But the fact that they work for you now means that they no longer get new experience about how things work in other companies.

Sometimes it is the fact that as a new employee, they are expected to still be learning new things, so they are given less work and responsibilities, which leaves them some time to think. Later, they will probably be given as much work and responsibility as possible, which leaves no time and energy to think about things. Especially with daily agile meetings, which make sure that everyone is only thinking about the things the management wants them to think about (hint: fixing technical debt is not one of those things).
Nah, but they'll study the systems and their incentives that led to such actions. Or they'll be more focused on finding food and shelter.

People have a secret but still share it while withholding some knowledge. They risk someone reverse engineering it, but it's still being monetized.

Whats the difference here? Have idea, share some of it, monetize it from peope who want to use it, later on it's a free for all or enough knowledge comes to easily reverse engineer it anyway.

^Just because an artist releases a work to the world, doesn't mean they have any natural rights to own what the culture does with it.

No natural right, no. But humans are greedy, tragedy of the commons, etc. So governments made copyright to protect those artists.

It's been, as usual, perverted by the people who least need that protection, but the idea is still sound. In a world of greed, give the creators time to be greedy so they can make a living off their own work. Then later on its a free for all.

Fascinating thing about america 50 years ago was it seemed to work 24/7. In Finlandia it was illegal to work after 16:00. Then we got a nazi government who decided that small shops and kiosks can extend their hours upto 18:00.

Worst thing was that there was no bank services outside 8:00-16:00. This was a blessing sort of, because Finland was the only country you could get bank services with a modem in 1970's. In 1983 you could do exactly all banking with your own Teletype. This included realtime stock exchange and that modern scheiße.

At least HN's downvoting team works 24/7.

Agree. I think the approach in TFA is like trying to analyze, say, improv comedy via a context-free grammar for English. There might be something there, in the syntax, but it misses a huge amount of semantics and paralanguage.

Put in more effort up front to make things easier later.

Try to automate what you can, efficiently. Code conversion, tests, etc.

Keep an eye out for opportunities to simplify things.

Make sure to have buffer built into your time/effort estimations.

Ask lots of questions.

Find other folks who interact with different parts of the system and ask if some of their time can be allocated to the conversion.

If you can onboard other folks, find out if there's anything you can do to automate any of their work.
AGI and Robotics are separate things, and Robotics still being far off doesn't mean AGI is also.
Demosthenes was an Ancient Greek who called the Macedons barbaroi, as in, not Greek. That's pretty clear-cut. He went as far as to say that Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great "... is not only no Greek, nor related to the Greeks, but not even a barbarian from any place that can be named with honour, but a pestilent knave from Macedonia, whence it was never yet possible to buy a decent slave".
Good to get your message, upvoted.

Sounds to me like you're one who is doing the VM right, as effectively as anybody.

I wonder what people think about this,

When I was first doing VMs, I would have the image in a file and it had to be stored somewhere.

All I would have in the file, would be an OS and maybe a couple apps installed.

Really only takes up a few GB of drive space as long as I don't try to store any massive or valuable data within the image.

I wouldn't want that kind of data in my images anyway.

And I had plenty of drive space so I didn't need any compression or space-saving measures to be applied for storing images.

In this case the working image takes up the exact same space on some drive either way.

Might as well let the image stay installed on its own partition so I could boot to it the bare metal way when I wanted to, or alternatively use it as a VM when re-booted to a powerful enough host OS which has been previously installed to a different partition.

Now in the terabyte world I've got more spare drive space than ever, and with GPT drive layout I can have as many partitions as I want.

Definitely learning as I go.

That is true aphantasia.

I don't have this aspect of the problem -- indeed, I often have the weird super-recogniser problem of correctly identifying that I have seen someone unknown to me before, and where. I might be able to even describe the clothes they were wearing that last time or something they were holding or doing.

But I would struggle to describe their face to someone else.
