Your linked Wikipedia article doesn't say that low-rise buildings are particularly dangerous. A "soft story" building is one that doesn't have good sheer strength due to missing sheer walls inside. It has nothing to do with being a low-rise or apartment building. As mentioned in the Wikipedia article, apartment buildings in Turkey were by far the most dangerous place to be during the 2023 earthquake.

Setting Skibidi Toilet aside, are you really that confident that misinformation, hate speech and historical revisionism are less harmful to society than a Markiplier meme that makes grown-ups cringe?
For printing, yes.
The alternative to peer reviews is that the manager reviews without any peer input. I think between these alternatives the peer review process is better.

As a manager I can honestly say that the peer comments and ranking give me better insight into things I might have missed. I don't follow people who report to me around all day and see every little thing they do. I get a sense of things they do that I didn't necessarily have visibility into.

This can totally move the needle for me. It's not going to change my opinion 360 degrees but it can move the needle. In general I'm going to put a decent weight on peer input.

That said in any system when there are enough individuals, managers or non-managers, that actively try to thwart and game the system, things are not going to end well. That seems to be the kind of place Rachel is describing. In that case nothing is going to work.

To Rachel's example of moving Mount Fuji with a teaspoon. Is that something you were supposed to do? One of the other comments says that if not that reflects poorly on the manager but when you manage senior people you don't manage them at the level of one teaspoon at a time. A senior who chooses to move Mount Fuji, and is given the right input, can totally be penalized for doing the wrong thing if that was wrong.

EDIT: All that said I think I read a paper somewhere about how performance reviews are generally counter-productive. I've always them somewhat disruptive as an IC and not a lot of fun as a manager. That said, there has to be some method by which we determine how much responsibility and how much compensation (e.g.) different people get.

They kind of already do this. There's a "Summarize page" item in the hamburger dots next to each search result that appears to send an LLM off to read the page, and fill out an element under the search result with a summary. So, more about the content than the title, but I think that's even better.
I think that the benign portrayal of machines seems tongue-in-cheek, particularly considering Brautigan’s own ambivalence toward technological advancement.
It's completely speculative for us, but I'd point out only the US has incentive to do that, not Taiwan. The only reason Taiwan would do it is if they adopted a scorched earth policy like Saddam and the burning Kuwaiti oil fields. But even with a psychopathic dictator like Saddam, he never burned his own oil fields.

A classic quandary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distcc
the government doesn't go around enforcing contracts; the government provides a mechanism whereby a person who is wronged (by another party breaking their contract) can appeal and get some justice (without which you have the aggrieved party going over and shooting the other party).

a competing company could open a store there anyway and then fight the battle in court; they might even win, but the cost of the court case would prevent most companies from even trying, after all groceries are a relatively low margin business--if this were a gold mine instead of grocery store you can be sure someone would have opened it already and fought it in court
I mean, you remember aids pandemic ? I don't think people (especially straight people) today realise just how devastating that was.
Is it real?
It is such a meaningful piece, deeply disturbing, yet a strong reminder to be with those we love - and yes to really 'be'.

I would posit that it is the people using the technology that also need to be empathetic and ensure the use is not disturbing.

The US federal government is generally immune from lawsuits [1] and the places where federal law explicitly permits lawsuits [ibid] don't seem to cover this situation.

My question was tongue-in-cheek. I feel the Nobel committee, like every other organization, is also trying to stay relevant and topical. Hard to do this by giving out prizes to old scientists from obscure fields, no matter how important their findings. Hence, a congratulatory prize for the first black president of the USA, a consolation prize for another for losing to Bush, now prizes for computer scientists at the center of the AI fad... An influencer is the logical endpoint for this trend. Other examples of such slipping-down-the-slope: "Time's person of the year" is always a person in the limelight, Oscars favor blockbusters rather than movies with great acting, ditto with music awards, companies that rebranded to the .com fad or the iDevice fad...
I called out my high value solely because I fall into the "privileged propagandist" rhetoric the comment I responded to and some other siblings are pushing.

Yes, the notion you need 300k to be comfortable anywhere is absurd, but just because someone makes more doesn't mean their desire to achieve a better quality of life is any less valid than anyone else. Do people with higher salaries need more? No. But why assume that just because an individual or group of people want a better quality of life they're "privileged?"

FTR, 100k as a average base salary is pretty low for tech in NYC. When the other 90k is bonus and RSUs that probably vest over 4 years, the stock has fluctuated 50%, and this being the journalism space, I wouldn't expect to see the full value. They have every right to try to negotiate better quality of life improvements out of NYT, especially for something as low impact on revenue as pet bereavement, as ridiculous as that is. I feel a lot of these comments don't understand tech compensation, where sometimes companies can't meet market value in cash so resort to all kinds of quirky benefits to attract/retain skilled workers. That is exactly where I see such a crazy request coming from when a company pushes back against giving more than a 2% annual raise.
If by "not long after" you mean 40 to 80 years.
Reflective Listening can be a slippery slope to hell. Yes people will love trauma dumping all their inner most unresolved issues onto you but it doesn't help you develop mature mutual reciprocal relationships with people.

Original author here. I wrote this article because I have set up NFSv4 with Kerberos twice so far and, both times, I ended up with a functional system but… very frustrated by how difficult and fragile everything seems.

That said, I still have a bunch of unanswered questions (all listed at the bottom of the article) and I suspect that some of you folks might have some insightful answers or corrections… hence why I’m submitting the article myself. If you do have any of those insights, please share here or there. And thanks!

The page count of 3347 really makes you appreciate the complexity of modern x86. For comparison, I recall an undergrad class that used a simple MIPS instruction set described in a couple of pages.
Your perspective is about 15-20 years out of date, maybe valid in the 1990s or early 2000s. The US is extremely vulnerable both economically and militarily to the "New Axis" (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea). China alone could easily out-manufacture its way to a victory in a conventional war with the US. The US, for all its faults, was a stabilizing force that permitted free markets to flourish in a unipolar world. It is quickly becoming a multipolar world where nationalist industrial policy will decide the future winners. Whatever your thoughts on US policy, I guarantee you'll enjoy China's or Russia's even less.
> `<<$>` but not `<$>>`

Having both begin and terminate arrays start with << is more consistent.

> `<>` and `<&>` (`{` and `}`?).

Using `{` and `}` would lead to more special characters.

> Auto-removing whitespaces may hurt.

It does not.

> Graphs... But what does graphs make first-class citizens here and why?

It is simpler to support graphs in the markup. The fact is that the data being serialized may be structured in a graph.

> CR/LF

It supports LF only ᴜɴɪx line ends as well as CR/LF internet line endings.

> Comments [...] To be honest, I can't recall any instance I could see the percent sign elsewhere for this purpose

LaTex and PostScript both use % for comments. # matches the usage in ᴄꜱꜱ and ʜᴛᴍʟ, relating to an id/page location.

> What if the comments would start with a well-known `#` at least with a space right after it so that it wouldn't be considered a "graph id"

Having a space after the # differentiate between and id and comment would be a mistake.

> Scalars. Crazy [...] UUIDs

The Formats section is to facilitate interoperability between implementations, e.g. if you are encoding a ɢᴜɪᴅ [easy to say] then format it this way.

> not make it efficient in typing.

It is more terse than ᴊꜱᴏɴ.

> XML "v2" ... first-class array support

Xᴇɴᴏɴ has first class array support, the xᴍʟ like syntax leads to the <empty-arrray$$> notation.

> P.S. How does it look like in the document it marks up is minified (e.g., no whitespaces)?

Good.
Given that I've got a rather nice chunk of cash (buy-a-really-nice-car nice) from a settlement in a pay gap lawsuit, there's at least existence proof that a pay gap exists occasionally to the extent a judge will believe it does. I'd consider looking at the actual data instead of blanket-dismissing via generic questions.

Further, given that the AEI has a very strong incentive to lie a pay gap away, I'd at least suggest consulting additional resources.
What does "honestly and correctly" mean?

Users certainly aren't trained by Uber on what the ratings are intended to communicate. There is no agreed on scale.

"No issues whatsoever; smooth, helpful and professional" could be my "3" (where 3 means "as expected" and "5" is as exceptional as "1") but your "5" (where <5 indicates shortcomings).
Interesting. I'll look into that. Just wondering if it's possible for different programming languages like Zig, Go and on?
Just from my casual observation, it seems like these days, lots of women complain about having to do a lot more household work than their husbands, while also holding a full-time job just like the husbands. But no one ever seems to ask these women: "why did you marry this guy then?"

Of course, I've been in a bad marriage myself, so I understand how someone can make a really poor decision about their marriage partner (esp. when young!), but it seems to me that a lot of people are in lousy marriages, and are only still in them because it's easier to put up with a crappy partner, especially when you have kids, than to divorce and try to deal with the huge challenges that life as a divorced parent presents. I suspect many, many people (primarily women) are just waiting until the kids are out of the house until they finally end their marriages.

All in all, this makes me wonder how viable traditional marriage as an institution really is any more.
> I absolutely hated this at the start, but now ~3 years into maintaining a go codebase, I find it quite nice

I've heard this so often. Thanks for sharing :)

I find going back to other languages and trying to read other people's code is a trial. There's always the temptation to write "smart" code that is terse but takes a lot of parsing to understand.

I love that I can pick up anyone's Go code and it's going to make sense almost immediately because everything is explicit, and laid out the same way (including that rhythm of "do the thing, test the error, do the thing, test the error")
>Unless you like being a empathetic listening ear to peoples problems and being deferential to their wants, need, or desire instead of your own.

So like a therapist?
Destroyed by who - the US or Taiwan? If by Taiwan, IMO it is extremely unlikely. Scorched earth tactics have only been used by the most bitter, determined combatants in a conflict, who are expecting a long protracted war. The cutting edge chips have enormous economic value but virtually no immediate or even medium term military value to China (the time it would take to design and start using them in hardware is years at least).

To me it sounds like you did do some rescoping of work: if the number of engineers was fluctuating, that's the buffer you used because you might have misestimated.

Also, did your "first delivery" include exactly everything that was part of that initial estimate?

I would imagine your clients figured something else is higher priority and that pushed out some of the initial plan: if so, that would also be rescoping work.

Again, I don't think meeting deadlines is impossible, but that you get there by reprioritizing and rescoping work as you go along. And sure, resizing the team too.

On top of that, even if you really did deliver everything you signed up for 6 months ago (and not more — we don't want to be overestimating/underpromising) without fluctuating capacity or scope, most in-house teams do not get 1/6th of the time to estimate something before they start on it (effort sizing is mostly useful to decide on what to do, and then that time is best spent building it). And perhaps they couldn't do it even if they did get the time.
You're being a bit reductive lol. Also the parent comment doesn't seem to realize that a subsea cable would enable better connectivity for millions of people.

1. Herd immunity and clean air from that Wikipedia link fall under public goods. Both of those are a subset of healthcare.

2. Basic human needs: many people would argue healthcare, housing, and connectivity should be universally accessible as a moral imperative

3. Broader social benefits. If people have these 3 things, they can be more productive.

4. "bread and circuses" is drawing a false equivalence between basic needs and entertainment/luxury goods. That's just bad argumentation.
> Only getting fired for a good reason? Who decides what a good reason is?

There are these things that exist called courts and independent arbitrators...

> Pay discrepancies for "women or people of color" could easily have real world reasons, maybe they really are just worse at their job, less engaged, less ambitious, whatever it is that causes less pay.

> ...

> I need to have the legal power to pay worse people less money or we are in a situation where you just levied a massive hidden tax on my company.

Ok, then. We have these things called protected categories. If your contention is one of those categories actually consists of "worse people" that you need to be able to "pay less money," then you need to prove that each of those individuals is in fact "worse." A giant wall-o-text consisting of a bunch of coulds, maybes, and I-want-to-be-able-to-do-this's ain't gonna cut it.

> Yes it would be nice if we could all work how we want but how is that a legitimate negotiable thing for the union to involve itself in?

The short answer: yes. The long answer is: yes, and why is that news to you?

> The entire mindset here is so utterly divorced from reality...

Honestly, I could say the same about your comment.

Are you at the scale where a simple database table and a few queries can't solve this?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but if it's just a few thousand/tens of thousands of entries, it seems like the kind of thing any SQL can do pretty effortlessly...?
In this thread we are talking about the US military, China, North Korea, etc. using the models, and whether anyone should give a shit about ToS.

I'm not aware of AI companies violating any software ToS or the GPL, but would like to know more.

(And I think that everybody should follow the GPL on software that is licensed that way, just as they should the ToS.)
For me it's essentially the same concept as conscientious objection. Many countries have mandatory military service. Some of those countries also recognize conscientious objector status while others do not. Do you really want people to shun military service while other nations' citizens serve?

As a conscientious objector, yes. If moral and ethical considerations don't separate us from our opponents, what are we even fighting for?
> AGI won't need people to advance further. That is pretty much the functional definition.

No, AI can ideate as well as any human, but that is not sufficient. Scientists ideate and test. Engineers design and test. There's always a validation stage, where ideas meet the bottleneck of reality.

Are you saying scientists without labs and tools to run experiments on could do science? It's all in the brain or GPU? That is so naive.
Kind of proved my point why reflective listening only leads to one-sided exchange.

An outstanding candidate might be an average candidate in a wrong setting.

With my last job, I fumbled an easy question for me that I usually wouldn't, but it was a 10pm interview after I got up at 4am that morning and have almost fallen asleep when putting my kids to sleep at 9pm. I got the job (and then got promoted twice in 18 months), but if interviewer "inadvertently" confused me on top of my mental state, it might have been game over for me (and them, since I turned out to be an "outstanding" candidate).
That’s like getting surprised that Delaware accounts for 60% of Fortune 500 companies. Singapore nowadays is the main financial hub that connects the East and the West.
This is a somewhat shallow and more buzz phrasey explanation of it. China wanted to invade Taiwan long before it became a democracy. And China is adjacent to many prosperous democracies like Japan and South Korea. Not to mention the hundred million middle class Chinese tourists and numerous students who can see the developed democracies with their own eyes.

With Occam's razor, the simple answer is really that they consider it part of China for historical and cultural reasons. Taiwan did the same for many years.
So you're looking for a way for a future to make use of temporary access to state just while being polled? The issue being that since a future captures references in self you can't have multiple futures able to reference the same data via a &mut pointer. Instead you need to use Rc.

If I'm understanding, then I don't yet follow the use case. You want to have multiple actors reading from the same message queue? Or different concurrent chunks inside of the actor?

This feels to me to strain against the actor design pattern a lot. I feel this often, that futures are somewhat in tension with actors. There are too many options.

It's just regulatory capture by people with an interest in the real estate asset class, which mainly consists of two groups: (1) investors and (2) people whose net worth is primarily derived from their house (read: poor people). Both of these seemingly opposing groups have an incentive to see property prices appreciate and avoid any obvious solution that would fix the problem, i.e. higher property tax rates for properties that aren't primary residences.

What I really find it puzzling that you might have some good arguments to the peaceful nature of the Arabs, that they were all loving and caring.

Somehow it seems ironic that a forum dedicated to understanding the long-term viability of data storage, an important topic lately because of the unreliability of
3rd-party providers (like cloud companies), itself became a victim of the unreliability of its own webmaster.

128GB BD-R discs do exist, but at $219 on Amazon for 25 discs, that's about $0.07/GB. It would be MUCH cheaper to just buy a stack of refurbished enterprise-class HDDs and store your data on those, in triplicate, with a filesystem that has error correction (like ZFS). Personally, I would bet on HDDs used this way still being readable and not having bit-rot after 50 years over 4-layer BD-R discs.
