But the article mentions the 8 inch production line is always shorthanded on staff. You would think workers on a line that has shortages of employees would have negotiating power. The article also mentions better circumstances on other lines. The workers on strike also say they’re not even really asking for better circumstances, just to not be treated like parts in a machine.

I think this is a typical case of a bad manager at the top of the 8 inch line, and not of some larger theme of automation leading to worker abuse.
BTW I rebuilt the game and made it available for free on Steam. I'm also working on releasing my research with the rebuilding process step by step (so you can all rewrite it in any language you like) and comparing it to King of Sumeria (the FOCAL version by Dyment) and Hamurabi (the BASIC version by Ahl). If you have any questions about the game pls ask. I've been working on this project for 6 years :)
I don't think anyone with half a brain is buying a timeshare these days. Those things have been going down for many years now I think. They were a stupid fad, and the fad's over. Of course, some new bullshit fad will come along for people to waste their money on.

What's wrong with ready-made chocolate cake? Freshly-baked might be better, but there is value in convenience. It's the same reason people buy pizza: if you're a master pizza chef and have a proper pizza oven at home, you could probably make a better pizza, and of course have it a bit fresher, but most people simply can't make a pizza that comes close to those made in real pizza ovens by people who make them every day. Some people don't even have an oven in the first place.
I’m a bit confused. Your reasoning doesn’t align with the data you shared.

The startup costs for just messing around at home are huge: purchasing a server and gpus, paying for electricity, time spent configuring the api.

If you want to just mess around, $100 to call the world’s best api is much cheaper than spending $2-7k Mac Studio.

Even at production level traffic, the ROI on uptime, devops, utilities, etc would take years to recapture the upfront and on-going costs of self-hosting.

Self hosting will have higher latency and lower throughput.

There's a bunch of different immuno types for melanoma (and other cancers). That one is a combo of nivolumab (aka Opdivo) and relatlimab.

Nivo is used a lot for melanoma, also commonly in combo with ipi (ipilimumab, yervoy). Pembro (keytruda) is the other common one.

Anyway, any of these can have adverse effects so patients are closely monitored.

For me, my thyroid didn't like nivo much but recovered. But we stopped after a couple of cycles of ipi+nivo because I was starting to develop colitis. And more importantly it wasn't slowing development of my melanomas.
My Happy Hacking Keyboard—which I bought comparatively recently, maybe 2017 or so—uses a mini-USB connector! Really solid piece of hardware, and I guess they just didn't see a need to update a design that worked.
What would you call cost cutting then? Clearly we are talking about the same things if we are talking about optimizing for shareholder value. I think its not controversial to see how consumer value has plummeted on a lot of goods especially in light of the idea of planned obsolescence and having generally more disposable products to sustain a black hole of a business model.
This is the theme of the "Twenty-fourth Voyage of Ijon Tichy" by Stanisław Lem. Goods are mass-produced but no one has income to buy them. In the end they asked AI to find the way out of this deadlock. The AI found the solution of crushing them all and arranging their remains in visually aesthetic patterns. Funniest part is that they voluntarily went along with this plan because they could see no other.

The whole "Star Diaries" series is such a gem. Many stories are exploring this question of "what is the endgame for societal trajectory X" in a form of some remote planet that Tichy visits on his trip.
I turn 70 tomorrow, and have been programming for about 53 years. Started a new job about six months ago. I immensely enjoy banging out the code every day. It still feels like a guilty pleasure! "Shouldn't I be doing homework right now rather than creating 3-D worlds algorithmically?" My first language was APL, which I learned in a college computer science course. This hard-wired me to think in functional terms; I personally think Iverson and Dijkstra were saying the same thing, but Iverson said it better: reason about your code from an "outside of time" perspective rather than mentally imitating the fetch-execute cycle of the machine. I view software development as a form of discrete mathematics; inductive reasoning for sequential blocks of code, Pnueli-style temporal logic for concurrent and parallel code. I've learned from some wonderful people how powerful it can be when a team likes each other and gets into a collective flow state. It is a bit like a mental version of quantum entanglement, and it is a very satisfying and meaningful thing when you get there. I've benefited from friends who helped me get that next job, and I've helped friends get their next jobs. About 20 years ago I made a switch to medical device software development. That is a domain that requires dedication to learn relevant mathematics, it is not going to go away, and you become a valued commodity when you have specialized skills and a talent pool that is not too large. And, you get to do things like visit your grandchildren in a NICU and see neonatal ventilators that you helped develop. So, I've been lucky, being able to play all day and do something I love! There are a million different paths through the space of software development; I've tended to traverse the space using the "what would be fun to goof around with on a Saturday" metric.

People have gotten manageable results on all sorts of hardware. People have even squeezed a few tokens/second out of Raspberry PIs. The small models are pretty performant- they get good results on consumer gaming hardware. My 2021 laptop with a 3070m (only 8gb vram) runs 8b models faster than I can read, and even the original M1 chips can run the models fine.
Yeah, that's a pain, but calculating mass from photons is still pretty indirect. More importantly, and independently of "directness", no one pretends that galaxies having different masses introduces two billion parameters into our models of cosmology. Because that's not what a model of cosmology is.
"If we look at most current medical procedures, they are barbaric. Chopping stuff mainly."

One has to agree with your view, at least partially. I've heard it said that surgeons are akin to carpenters—some are skilled craftsmen who craft fine furniture, others like builders whose skills are pretty much limited to joining bits of 2x4s but none of whom know the underlying mechanism of how trees grow or how they produce wood.

Nevertheless, with the fusion of modern chemistry, a refined understanding of biological processes, and advanced computing and specialist manufacturing techniques (micro sensors etc.) we're just now beginning to see the end of some of the 'chopping'—or at least how in the future we might end it.

I've been around for quite some decades so I'm unlikely to benefit from any new technique—they being too immature for deployment—but on current evidence those who are around in 50+ years are very likely to do so.
I couldn't even read the article since it's apparently paywalled. So ... well, that was 30-40 seconds I'll never get back.

About the Fedora Gnome vs EndeuvourOS KDE... the issue here isn't Gnome. It's actually Fedora.

In my testing on a similar hardware (also Core M3 and 4gb RAM), Arch-based distros was the best with low RAM. And I tried like, probably 50 distros since last year...

Gnome on my HW with Arch, is as fast as KDE, and use less memory than KDE (in theory, I know RAM is a complicated subject).

Why fedora is problematic on low end hardware? Because well, Fedora uses packagekit, which is a ram hog, and this is pretty known. Is not the only reason though, I believe there's some other defaults that make it slower than arch on my HW, like zswap vs zram.

In my experience with weak CPU and low ram, was that zswap was actually the best choice. On such low RAM like 4gb, you'll really need a swap, you can't run from this. And zram won't be enough, in my experience.

Which I guess is one of the reasons why Arch go very well here, as is one of the few distros right now that does a nice default for zswap.

With Fedora, and most other distros, I get constant freezes when the RAM is full (which is pretty easy to do with 4gb), and this never happen on arch based distros.
The nice part about a pro camera is if you used a pro dslr camera 20 years ago the new one is pretty much turn key for you. It's like bash, could be cleaner perhaps, yet timelessness and knowing that will continue in the future is also a huge feature.

Does anyone know how much of a black box these cellebrite (or competitor) systems are?

Like if we could get some into the hands of the best reverse engineers in software and hardware, how difficult might it be to figure out the methods by which they gain access (aside from standard brute force and the like)? Are these unreleased zero day software exploits? Or something that anyone with enough knowledge of of the hardware system could implement with say a few million dollars and a small team of capable people? How are updates delivered? Do we know that the devices don't provide remote access to the vendor themselves?
I grew up in the USSR and used these things. But I find the dreamy nostalgia in some comments revolting. Ah, funny EГГОГ message! The Soviet regime killed millions of its own people and forcefully subjugated nearby nations, but hey, they made some nice calculators!

Also, as someone with knowledge of how the Soviet electronics industry worked (my father was employed there), I know all too well that the most advanced models of these calculators were copies of HP or TI calculators, using unauthorised copies of TI and other American chips. Basically stolen IP, as the USSR often did.
Double blind means the researcher doesn't know what they are giving to the subject. They still ran a placebo.

"Methods: Twenty healthy adults completed nine, double-blind outpatient sessions in which they inhaled vaporized THC alone (15mg or 30mg), d-limonene alone (1mg or 5mg), the same doses of THC and d-limonene together, or placebo; a subset of participants (n=12) completed a tenth session in which 30mg THC+15mg d-limonene was administered. Outcomes included subjective drug effects, cognitive/psychomotor performance, vital signs, and plasma THC and d-limonene concentrations."
I use the latest Firefox (115.13.0 esr) on a Win7 Pro desktop with uBlock Origin. I don't see any ads at all. The text appears to adequately describe the diagrams referenced.

Basically, this could spin up a situation like we had here in Texas back in 2021 where we had a long-duration cold spell. From experience, it was not as fun as that sounds.

Or maybe I'm tired and it only seems to make sense because I'm not thinking clearly at this late hour.

Sounds very interesting.

But it works by patching the kernel, not just using eBPF like many performance tools recently. So it needs active maintenance all the time considering the current velocity of internal kernel changes. And I would not be surprised if it didn't build or work correctly if you have a heavily patched and customized kernel.

On the positive side at a first glimpse the maintenance to adapt to new kernels looks very active.

Depends on whether we re looking at a system in equilibrium or out of equilibrium. Maybe the "shortage" is the equilibrium for the unyielding crappy conditions the company is offering.
I don't know why you were downvoted.

A multitude of successful cryptocurrency rugpulls has shown that technology can indeed be ouroboric, with no actual social benefit.

I do get GP's broader argument, that every generation shakes its fist at the cloud, and we're no different (though this time, we do have a "cloud" to shake our fists at!)

However, your argument resonated with me. Growing up, I observed that newer tech was often superior (e.g. DOS --> Windows) and competing by delivering superior value to the end-user. Of late, it feels like companies are reading the financial tea-leaves and competing by delivering increasing gains to Wall Street.
It's not that shocking to me - you should try tutoring a class of mathematics undergrads! They make this class of error all the time. It's a "this sounds like it's obviously true, so the obvious reason must be right" kind of thing. Rigorous logic takes a lot of time to click for people.

Ew? Does this vulgarity represent 'the culture' you're proud of? Judging by your manners, one can tell that you have a very rich culture. I'm kind of jealous. Feel free to expose yourself more.

Colonizers vs migrants:

Let me help you understand the difference, Who appointed the chancellor? Who is passing laws and enacting mandates? Who control the police and military?

I see, it's not only your manners that's lacking, even your education is lower class. It feels like you only read the table of contents when studying history.

You're just living in full paranoia, asking other people to erase their identity because they're different. I advise you to travel abroad more and make friends with people from different cultures. Every country in the world, except maybe North Korea, has people from different backgrounds who are proud and attached to their heritage, religion, language, and culture.

There are many german diaspora abroad who are attached to their culture and don't let go of their identity, they even establish their own political parties and organizations, by your logic the germans are colonizing other countries, right? You're delusional

That is your assumption and grossly oversimplification. But I do see the point of not indexing vast majority of internet traffic that is low value.

Can I easily upload something from any of my computers (desktop, laptop, phone, tablet) in basically one or two easy steps?

One of the reasons I don't use imgur anymore and instead use Discord (yes, Discord) for my image hosting needs is because I could not upload anything to imgur from my phone or tablet. Yes, an image hosting service that won't let me upload from the most prevalent computing devices of our time.

I don't care if imgur is spamming me with ads or torturing me with a terrible UI, an image hosting service that won't let me upload is literally useless to me.

On Discord I can upload anything by just clickdragging or copypastaing into the client. Dead simple, dead easy, dead quick, dead done. And it's not even an image or file hosting service, it's a bloody instant messaging and voicecomms service.

To echo the sibling comment:

> we don't even have cultural concepts or language to capture this in a meaningful way

I was thinking the dynamic from these birds shows a more "hidden" model of relationships how I have witnessed and experienced. Obviously there is no "one way", but like the birds, the majority, that I am around, fall into this pattern. Language is such a limiting factor here. By dominate aggressive females or nurturing males, it is not meant in the females emasculating males way that the phrase could be taken in English culture. As with the birds, being the nurturing male never meant the weak male. The nurturing males simply adapted to their strengths and nested in dense forest and sang their songs in a lower pitch so it farther. It doesn't mean they were less than, they still got mates. They are very attractive to both aggressive and nurturing females, but the more aggressive females are going to go after what they want when they want more often than the more subdued females.

To bring it into one of many human examples I personally have decades of witnessing, is an aunt & uncle who would be considered the "power couple" of the family.

Wealth, education, status, all far outshines the rest of the extended family. But depending on when you witness them, they would be classed power couple, conservative-traditional couple, or egalitarian/50-50 type. At one point, both high powered careers, the female with the higher position (multinational financial VP type). Eventually she decides to take care of the house and he continues working raking in good money. At no point in time would anyone who knows them, ever in their right mind, call her nurturing and him dominate. If boundaries needed to be made with family, friends, brokers whoever she was on it and it was no-nonsense. You could find him tending to their garden, or chatting it up with neighbors in the mean time. There was nothing emasculating about it. And if I had to make a guess about which of the family couples that have been married 40+ years still has the sex life one could only dream of when they reach their late 60-70's - its them.
