Yes, but that's still a peculiar separation.

Learning, training, practicing, teaching, rehearsing, performing are just several different modalities of (the) work, with distinct proportions depending on the job and the role(s).

It's not because one's not in a 9-5 office job that it's not work either.

Your plumber, or locksmith, or carpenter, or physician is also often performing for you only a few minutes/hours. You may think you're watching/paying for this performance only, but you're really watching all the experience that goes into this performance, that is the result of their previous studies, training, and practice and other performances.

The "difference" with a "typical" office job is that you don't get to have them in the single same place all the time, and watch/see them work through all those modalities, sanctioned by some manager. It's much more open than that.

What is amazing is how normalised the "controlling" factory/office work culture has become.
some people just don't watch youtube.

someone that's a quarter-of-the-way proficient at speed reading can read a short article like this in seconds -- without the time investment or the need to buffer video data to read the transcript.

every media has a place, generally speaking the trivia and background included in a YT video is interesting -- but in the end it's Jeopardy answers and brain-candy for me 90% of the time.
There's the automated Youtube transcript, of course, but while searching for a paper she referenced, I came across a transcript of essentially the same speech given at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1985 (three years later). https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/6566336

Sure, it didn't start with the ACA, but this story implies that the ACA lead to a growth in this kind of bad behaviour:

> Acadia was founded in 2005 by Reeve B. Waud, a financier, and grew slowly at first. But in 2011, the company went public and embarked on a major expansion.

> The timing was ideal. Over the next several years, Acadia got a lift from Obamacare, which required insurers to cover mental health. Today Acadia has 54 inpatient psychiatric hospitals with a total of 5,900 beds.

I'm not trying to imply that the ACA is bad here - just that the incentive provided by the requirement for insurance companies to cover this form of treatment inadvertently incentivized the kind of fraud described in the article.

This is why legislation needs to be iterated on - to correct for unexpected consequences like this. Ideally the abuse described in this article would be prevented by further legislation - though there's always a chance that could open up further loopholes.
NASA's Perseverance rover begins ambitious ascent up a Mars crater rim
Video interviews were done, and everything seemed normal at the time. We finally got the impostor to turn his camera on, and I sent a screenshot to the hiring team to confirm.

It seems unlikely that someone living in the US would take the test for someone else, since the risk is just too high. I'm pretty sure this is just straight up fraud you can get in trouble for. My bet is that this was a scam setup outside of the country, and they used a stolen identity to get the paperwork cleared.
That depends on the definition of "100% percent recycled plastic". What most people understandably think this means is "Made 100% from plastic that was used in some product and then thrown into a recycling bin". What the FTC defines as "recycled", for the purposes of advertising that your product is made of recycled content, can be found in section 260.13 of the FTC's "Green Guides": https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-re...

"Recycled content" is defined as:

> materials that have been recovered or otherwise diverted from the waste stream, either during the manufacturing process (pre-consumer), or after consumer use (post-consumer)

And they do not have to inform consumers of this distinction:

> Recycled content claims may – but do not have to – distinguish between pre-consumer and post-consumer materials.

> Recycled content includes recycled raw material, as well as used, reconditioned, and re-manufactured components ... The term “used” refers to parts that are not new and that have not undergone any re-manufacturing or reconditioning.

Well, taking what was previously waste in the plastic manufacturing process and turning it into more plastic is better(?) than nothing. But I think most people would think of this more as "making plastic manufacturing more efficient" than "recycling plastic". It makes plastic manufacturing margins more profitable, as now what was waste has value. It means that "100% recycled plastic" still relies heavily on the production of virgin plastic.

If people who would have not bought plastic bottled water DO buy it because it is "100% recycled", then the satisfaction of that additional demand requires the production of virgin plastic. Even if the number of people buying Evian bottles doesn't change, Evian is still buying the results of plastic production from plastic factories, which is likely to increase the amount of plastic in the world.

Again, it's better than nothing. But it certainly isn't a silver bullet, and many would argue that it is still not sustainable.
its all like San Francisco
Hi, I'm Oliver
I was tired of clicking through too many websites to find an answer to my question from a tutorial I was following.
So I created this to have it all in one easy location!
It quite literally is for students learning Python.
I had a friend from the Bronx visiting the other day who told me how trips across the East river that were 20-30 min by car are 2 hours by subway thanks to the Manhattan-centric nature of the system. A friend who lives in NJ close to the West River couldn’t believe I was riding the PATH train to the Red Bulls Stadium when it takes so much longer than driving. (Answer: I’m a railfan)
Shared PWs are sometimes inevitable but then you must rotate them every time someone with access leaves the company. OneLogin also has a way to minimize handling of the shared passwords for auto-logins that depend on shared creds
"No discussion == no dupe." Excellent point, taken!
It’s also a little limited. The supercharger cables are too short to reach many cars and you have to park weirdly and block other stalls. There’s also no OEM trip planner to make use of them to ensure batteries are preconditioned , you distribute load across nearby superchargers, etc.

I test drove the Ariya and I think it had a 4 menu deep manual precondition option. Its OEM charging locator (not planner) was offline and typical legacy manufacturer built-in nav garbage.
I am unconvinced that we know enough about life’s engineering to do something like this safely. I am doubly unconvinced that private industry will take the risks seriously. This sort of project is steeped in classic misguided pie in the sky human thinking - let’s live on the moon or terraform mars instead of fixing our mess on this planet! Let’s resurrect an extinct species instead of saving the ones we’re about to make extinct!

And then the idea that if the population gets out of control, well, we could just cull them. What, because we didn’t do a good enough job the first time?
At the same time, those criteria are very context-dependent. Thus, great developers are usually only identified as such because of how they perform relatively to others working under a similar context--not because of the above criteria in any universal or objective sense.
Makes sense. It's intuitive when you specify a number of bytes. I have myself been allocating memory using "new" so idk how my broken brain asked such a dumbass question.
Generally, no. I agree with you.

In every case I've seen with healthy leadership, you could just ask who the top people are. Up to about 200-person size groups, you could ask any leader (even the top group leader) and they could just tell you. Because they generally know who is doing what, how difficult the various things are and who is turning in consistently outstanding work. (If the leadership can't do this, they might not be paying close enough attention.)

Performance reviews can serve many different purposes, but I don't think this is one of them.
Unfortunately, EVs in the United States are prioritized for range now and range is a function of battery size, with a corresponding penalty of cost and weight.

There are still a few EVs models available in the US that are relatively light compared to the mainstream models, and most are going to be old/used models.

e.g. Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, Fiat 500E, BMW i3, Volkswagen eGolf.

None of the above will be in the low 2000 lbs curb weight territory that is part of the Miata driving feel, but they are the closest you can practically find.
"You are absolutely one of the most prolific HN submitters, Joe!"

It took me until I reached 76 years of age to finally discover what I'm good at.
> where would you discover truly hard problems?

You take simple problems and solve them in truly hard ways ;)
in a lot of ways including unexpected ways

e.g.. their love for humongous wide hard to maneuver fire fighting vehicles (and their over use in situations which shouldn't require a fire truck/engine) implicitly block a lot of improvements and often lead to forced wider lanes and other street design aspects which by now are well known to hugely contribute to more deadly accidents
I guess what this blog post is about is that it only works if you have the ability to instinctively tell who those people are. Steve did and I know a few other people personally who do but I sure as hell don’t.
I grew up seeing founder mode first-hand. My dad founded Celestron, and he operated just as Paul is describing. At my current company, I see the CEO doing the exact same thing, which gives me great hope. Huge contrast from my previous start-up, for which I have great anti-hope unfortunately. (Current company is Zap Surgical Systems, with Dr. John Adler as the founder.) I've seen John everywhere, all day every day. I've seen him literally on his hands and knees under our robotic treatment table back in the engineering lab, discussing details with a young mechanical engineer. And yeah, we are curing cancer ;-)

To re-iterate: What I believe PaulG is saying is that there is a crucially important phenomenon that we don't yet understand, and naming it will facilitate the process of bringing it into focus so that we can help more companies be successful.

His footnote has a painful resonance: "I also have another less optimistic prediction: as soon as the concept of founder mode becomes established, people will start misusing it."

This is exactly what has happened to the Agile methodology.
No, it happened when I bought my Honda Fit.
That's literally not true. Places will request your prescription and will not fulfill your order until the prescription is sent over.
Yeah their offerings are not good on CS and IT. They have couple of good conference and journals in electronics. The member discounted rates are not that attractive though, and if your institution/company is paying, who cares? The real benefit is access to specific publications of a society. If I would be working for a big company with a unlimited access (for which they charge up hundreds of k$ per year) I wouldn't have been a member. I guess ot used to be important to be a senior member or fellow back in the day, but now nobody cares.
>Try buying a sedan. Most of them have been discontinued by the manufacturer as of 2024 or the dealer won’t have one in stock or if they do have one in stock it won’t have power windows or they’ll have some excuse why they can’t sell you one.

>They did it to my dad when he tried to buy a small car in he 1970s and it was a policy of American car dealers except around a short period after he 2008 financial crisis.

What you said about sedans being hard to procure might be true today, but there's no way it was an issue back in the 70s. Eyeballing the chart in the article[1], 3 in 4 cars produced were sedans. It strains credibility to claim that it was hard to buy a sedan. Even today, sedans account for 1 in 4 cars produced. That's a huge drop, but there's no way that the buying experience is as difficult as you make it out to be.

SSO all the way (if you can). Chances are you've got Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 - both allow you to configure SAML based SSO into many SaaS apps either through their respective app galleries or some kind of custom configuration. Otherwise you could look at Okta, but be prepared to fork out serious cash. We use Entra ID (part of Microsoft 365) for SSO in our business, and it generally works well.

There'll be times that employees can't use SSO though. For that I'll add my voice to 1Password - it's well designed such that a breach of the 1PW service itself won't reveal credentials (you'd need peoples vault passwords and secret keys for that). Avoid Lastpass - the UI is awful, and they've been breached in the past.

That is clearly not inevitable which you can demonstrate to yourself by glancing around and pretty much any city on earth.
According to the IEA "Heat accounted for almost half of total final energy consumption and 38% of energy-related CO2 emissions in 2022" so finding ways to create process heat that can reach hot enough temperatures efficiently from electricity is a big deal for industry.
It's not trying to explain gravity. It's trying to visualize it.
We do know. He is expected to be in Seattle at least three days a week.
By that logic... we might as well stop teaching math because kids are never going to become mathematicians.
Nothing has satisfied me between why gravity and magnetism are not the same thing. A ferrous material where the electron poles can be aligned show high forces. Most things are totally misaligned, which I believe creates gravity. No explanation on stackexchange or anything else convinces me. Most of the arguments feel egotistical to me.

Honestly, the people that put in these processes are the smart ones.

These people are not the smart ones, but the ones who are really good at doing "company politics" and "playing political games" (which are very different skills from being smart).

My personal opinion is that it is rather a sign of smartness to see through all of this. But unluckily the people who are capable of this lack the political power and backing of other people to get "dangerous" for these "ladder climbers" (or if they do become dangerous, it is for the same reasons easy to "get rid of them" (e.g. fire them)).
> and aren't generally allotted time in the schedule for self-improvement.

I never met a company that didn't expect to have this in the schedule and budget for their employees.

Given the breadth of technologies and the pace of the industry, I don't get how a tech-dependent company could afford not to.

This "family cars must be huge" take is a weird take, too. Can a Ford Focus fit a car seat? Yes! Then it's big enough for a couple with a child. I guess I'll add rear doors; even if a car seat would fit in the rear of a coupe, I wouldn't recommend that for anyone.

If your family requires more than 4 seats on a regular basis, sure, get a minivan; but I don't understand the appeal of an F150 or other large vehicle as a "family commuter" for, we'll say, the family of median size.

Smart? I doubt they like doing those things.

If they were actually smart they’d figure out how to set up an employment situation that they don’t mind that also has the pay/status that they want.
This is what I understood from this article:

Manger mode is "hire good people and give them space to do their job".
Founders mode is Steve Job's way "<same as manager mode> + make those good people feel important".

There are many founders, who failed to scale their sturtups, because they did something wrong. But it is not because they ALL in fact did the same mistake. It is just many of them can match their particular mistake with the vague concept of "bad manager mode advice".

Those character sequences are unlucky to also be the names of cruel war terrorists, so these are no-no and they go to the bad word blacklist assembled by proud little censor. There may be other Hitlers, and they can even be good people, it is just a family name after all. However it is in the list, so machine choses not to elaborate. Whether it's good or bad is completely for you to decide — for me it's obviously true evil in disguise
They mention self-hosted. Unless there's a long-game supply chain attack where they infiltrate the vendor and poison the updates and nobody notices until it's too late (that disaster scenario can always happen), at least not all your passwords are gone the minute the central server where everyone's data is stored gets compromised

I don't have much experience with either product but based on what the person said, that seems the most plausible reason to me. If 1Password does something like encrypting it for every user individually and so the server can't read the stored data (like when it's decrypted in the browser with the user's password, then an attacker would again need to compromise the website, wait, and hope nobody notices until their target logs in), then I guess GP really needs to clarify what they meant
Come on, putting “macOS” and “stranglehold” in a title is not merely a (bad) pun; it plays into article titles which adhere to common complaints, and topical complaints about macOS/Apple specifically, in a clickbaity way.

When you say "bad glasses", distinguishing the two is exactly something to worry about. I found that the problem disappeared when I started paying hard cash for a prescription, although it still varies by the practitioner.

Fwiw, it would be very hard for the government to correctly investigate and accurately prove in court, since it will require a statistical proof over many patients that get tested at both good and bad places.
Right, I get your view of things. Probably our common ground of beliefs is that LLMs are mechanistic and they can do genuine human-level reasoning, as long as we expand the word reasoning to be slightly more general than "human reasoning". The brain is also built on Perceptrons (essentially) and can do reasoning via perceptrons like LLMs (agreeing with you there).

My special claim about wave resonance is a bit more specific and nuanced. I'm claiming that it's only memory, qualia/consciousness(also, emotions, pain, ets) that's made of waves. So we can agree that when you're thinking in terms of logic and reason itself, you may be using mostly the Perceptronics and not the waves.

But I think the "pattern matching" ability of the brain (which is 90% of what it does, my view, excluding the I/O [sensory+motor neurons]) is totally built on resonance. I claim memory and resonance are identical. When something happens that reminds you of something else (even Deja Vu) that's literally your brain being entangled with all past copies of itself and able to resonate in real-time with all of them across the causality chain of the Block Universe because they're ALL part of a single entangled structure.

EDIT: So consciousness is where your brain gets "agency" (executive decision making) from. So you can think of this "agency" aspect of a brain as "The thing that runs LLM prompts, using your Neurons as Perceptrons", and yes those LLM prompts that perform reason might be totally mechanistic just like computer LLMs.

> and they shouldn't have to interact with anyone that deviates from their naive world view and poorly preconceived notions.

You might have to tolerate coworkers and/or a manager, but that’s it. Anyone else can be blown out the door, interpersonally speaking. To provide poor behavior an audience is to empower it, so you simply don’t provide an audience or interaction. For sure, actors who had an advantage are upset the power dynamic and asymmetry is breaking down at scale (hence this piece).
