The problem wouldn’t be a lack of alternative means to facilitate transactions, it would be a lack of trusted counterparties to transact with.

Grocery stores and bars used to let local trusted customers pay their accumulated purchases once per week or month, or accept personal checks from them without any means of verifying whether they were covered.

Today? It’s essentially cash or credit card, and no more mechanisms for local/decentralized credit decisions whatsoever, even if a checkout clerk might personally know a customer.

Because of ubiquitous connectivity, we have greatly increased, but also centralized trust. Local trust isn’t restored quickly, especially during an emergency when tensions are high anyway.

I can't imagine that the strike was not timed. I suppose the idea is that the management may say "come on, let's quickly solve it and get back to the really important issues", if this indeed can be solved quickly. E.g. by saying that WFH is officially allowed for another year, or something similar, that actually requires no change except some change of heart among the higher-ups.

Not having this solved well ahead of time speaks poorly of NYT overlords. My trust in NYT has deteriorated quite a bit over the years :(

Domestically the most common unit of energy is calories in the countries I'm familiar with, but households also frequently measure energy in gallons of gasoline, liters of gasoline, British Thermal Units, "therms", cubic feet of gas, cubic meters of gas, kilowatt hours, cords of wood, bushels of corn, joules, and "tons", meaning tons of ice (often abused as a measure of power, the implicit denominator being "per day"). Additional common units of energy rarely used in households include barrels of oil, "megatons" (this time of TNT rather than ice), toes (ton of oil equivalents), quads (quadrillion BTU), foot-pounds, and, implicitly, horsepower seconds. The vulgar news media often use the "household-day", which is roughly as well defined as the "heap".

This is like the seventeenth century situation where cloth was sold by the "ell", but each kind of cloth was measured by a different ell. The Flemish ell was a different length from the English ell or the Scottish ell. This nonsense survives today in the custom current in the less advanced countries of weighing gold and silver in "troy ounces" and other commodities such as pepper in a different "ounce" that is about 10% smaller.

But the situation with energy is much worse, because transmuting electrical energy into gasoline, or vice versa, is enormously less inefficient than transmuting pepper into gold. Different forms of energy are far more often equivalent than different forms of mass.

The insight underlying the SI system of units is that calculations become much easier if you use a consistent set of units derived in a simple way from a minimal set of base units such as the kilogram and meter. How much kinetic energy is going to kill a 100-kg man falling from a building at 10 meters per second? Trivially, 50 kilojoules. How much energy does a 10-watt lightbulb consume in 5000 seconds? 50 kilojoules. If you are paying US$0.02 per megajoule for gasoline, US$0.01 per megajoule for natural gas, and US$0.04 per megajoule for electrical energy, what's the cheapest way to heat your house? Gas, unless your electric heat pump has a coefficient of performance over 4.

By contrast, if the different prices are expressed in different units, it adds difficulty to every kind of reasoning, to the point that there seems to be a popular misconception that megawatts are not even the right unit for measuring the solar energy production of a country.

Kilowatt hours are an especially silly unit. A watt is by definition a joule per second, so measuring energy in kilowatt hours is similar to measuring distance in mph-minutes. An mph-minute works out to be exactly 88 feet, and a kilowatt hour is exactly 3.6 megajoules. Just use megajoules! Stop making everything more difficult.

> My most common issues with systemd are related to those long timeouts when something at boot/shutdown is not working as intended

That’s an issue with a daemon, not systemd. Anyone who used NFS saw that routinely on SysV init during the era when Red Hat distributions shut down networking before ensuring that the network mounts were unmounted.

Good luck. I'm curious what you feel about the following:

These days news publications generally have a pretty weak business model and a lot of competition. Does it still make sense to have a union in this case? Why?

> was chosen to hurt me extremely badly if I should feel morally obligated to follow your advice

A few sincere questions:

1. Are there no other news sources that you'd trust to convey the binary of 'who won the election?'

2. Assuming that there aren't, what negative effect would there be to you from not knowing the result of the election for a few days?

I'm sorta hoping that "hurt me extremely badly" is an exaggeration for effect. If not I'd suggest getting some perspective.

Unfortunately, the quality of open source software, especially of big projects, has gone downhill in the later years.
This is such a nice feature in PhpStorm. I hope VSCode and other editors will add support for it too.

Well strikes are only effective when they hurt. I fully support aiming strikes at points of time when they have most impact. That is only way to show importance of the workers. Maybe excluding things like natural emergencies.
100%. I really think Gaussian Splatting as a method can offer a lot, but it's also not powerful enough (yet) to be useful. Specifically editing and relighting GS models is rather clunky.

I think SplatGallery is an exploration of how people use the technology and what can it be useful for today and what is the next step.

I like the idea and face the same challenge. I’ve just installed it and, from my first impressions, it seemed a bit basic. Here’s what I expected:

Hundreds of recipes that I could swipe left and right through, allowing me to build up a typical selection of what I would usually eat. Instead, I was presented with only three choices, none of which I would generally consider.

A simple way to send the code to my wife — via imessage, Telegram, etc. Instead, I had to tell her in person! :)

This presents the perfect opportunity to delve into shopping lists where the wife wants something healthy, and the I crave a burger. I can think of quite a few features you could add if the app develops further.

Also, like the comment below about having a stranger over for dinner (not for dating purposes), it could involve a couple or someone visiting a new country who would appreciate a local showing them around and perhaps covering the dinner cost. Once the app learns your food preferences and interests, that could be quite exciting! There might already be an app that does this; I’m not sure. Swiping left and right on both food likes / dislikes and also general interests.
> This genuinely seems like extortion.

extortion implies extorionate demands. the demands here are ... checks notes ... remote work and protection from arbitrary termination.

That is what strikes are by definition, yes. It doesn't just seem like it. There is no other weapon workers can wield if they don't have a legal basis to make leadership meet their demands.

Obviously this can backfire in countries that don't have good union law and if you are too replaceable (hello AI).
I don't read it so charitably. They only see a problem they want to go away. How do I know what they see? Because that is what they said.
I don't doubt it.

While I wholeheartedly support their legal right to organize, I am not required to celebrate at the cynicism of attempting to undermine faith in democracy to win a better job
FWIU the Equal-time rule is distinct from the cancelled "Fairness doctrine", and the Equal Time rule applies only to broadcast radio and tv.

The "No Paid Prioritization" rule applies to all Title II Common Carrier Internet Service Providers but not to Information Service Providers.

The 2015 FCC net neutrality rules for ISPs were cancelled by a Verizon lobbyist until April 2024, when the FCC reinstituted the net neutrality rules; "No blocking", "No throttling", "No Paid Prioritization".

ISPs are again considered Title II Common Carriers.

But now the court has stayed the rules due to corporate lobbyists.

So, the "No Paid Prioritization" rule does not apply to the Internet ATM because corporate lobbyists.

With a little domain knowledge and research you find out pretty quickly that:

BCL6 is lymphoma.

CDK regulate cell death, amongst other things.

So yes, I am saying that it seems very straightforward as an approach to attempt to trigger a CDK cell death when BCL6 is present.

It seems hard to believe that it is presented as novel with the amount of funding that has been spent on cancer.

Who has more power; employees or employers?
No one has a right, legally or morally, to another person's labor if they can't come to terms. Workers have power when they act together, and in this case are using that power strategically to advance their interests and those of many other workers.

If management were rational actors, they would have reached a deal at some point in the last two years of bargaining.

One of his co-temps, Gilbert Shelton made great comics - the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_Furry_Freak_Broth...)
were my favorite. He had many characters in the FFFB, Norbert the Nark, Fat Freddy's Cat, Let My Chickens Free, and many others.
The thing is, if people only go on strikes at times when it would be convenient to customers of the employer, then strikes wouldn't be particularly effective.

(There actually are strikes which are consciously run on this basis, but mostly only in the most safety-critical fields.)

Like, it's not as if the NYTimes was unaware that it'd be a big news week; you should probably be blaming management more than anyone else here.

A manager can absolutely describe any value as simply as you just did.
Not everything on the internet is "half-assed Wikihow articles or one-size-fits-all OpenAI-hallucinated slop." If that's your view of all internet content I recommend learning to find good information, which is more accessible and prevalent than anytime in history. That is why magazines are dying - the interent provides anything a magazine does, but with more depth, more solid authors, and more accessible.

If a magazine article is too shallow, or above your head, or below your level, then you're stuck. But with the internet and basic searching skills, you can find any level of content, in writing, in video, with projects and how-to's, detailed explanations, teardowns, DIYs stuf, fundamental technical specs and protocols, and on and on.
I recently looked up 2x48GB RAM kits and they are around 300€ and more for the overclockable ones. That is 3€ per GB and this is in the more expensive segment in the market since anyone who isn't overclocking their RAM is fine using four slots.
Show HN: I made a simple VSCode extension to sort and compare jsons
There is no guarantee that two generated JSON files will have the same order of keys and values, which can make comparing two JSON files difficult, even if they are identical in content but different in order. To solve this issue, I created a simple VSCode extension that sorts and then compares two JSON files.
Memory for Agents
You might want to research the topic of strikes & unions.

The timple truth is that it's a give and take. If the demands would be too extreme the NYT would go bankrupt and the workers lose out on their job.

Thus, it's in their best interest to have reasonable demands. Most people forgett this part.

The workers, collectively, formed demands. At some point the burden should be on the employer to explain why the demands are not reasonable.
Reclaiming AI as a Theoretical Tool for Cognitive Science
Have you got a family? How long is your commute? What did you (and your family) gain from the move to WFH? Speaking for myself I gained over two hours of free time a day and a lot less stress from traffic. I wouldn't mind so much if my office was in walking or cycling distance, but living where you work is rare in this field.
"And, to gain more knowledge about the causes and effects. We have more information today, and more data gathering. Would be good to do this study again in a modern lab."

Yes, I did mention 'shedding light with evidence' as a positive thing.

And yes, read article and many others. I don't think the flaws were as 'strong' as you are implying, hence, yes, would be good to replicate to prevent the arguments for dismissing it because there were 'some' flaws.

Treat it like other studies. It was a first attempt, there were some interesting results, but also some 'flaws', hence, lets replicate and iron out the problems and see if we get some additional interesting results.
I can't get behind these restricted whatif scenarios. If the internet were to disappear there would be ensuing outages of critical services and shortages of essential items very quickly. (In part because of the inevitable mass panic and hoarding).

If I knew the internet was going out tomorrow I wouldn't spend any time on the internet at all. I would go the grocery store, gas station, friends houses and then get as far from major cities as I could.
The PalWorld story is more complex than how it looks at first sight, and Sony is involved in complex ways that only make sense within the company history and the cultural background.
I would totally join a strike against RTO if I were in a union or if someone organized one in response. The only other option for me would be to quit and look for another remote job.

I'm not going back to having to bring earmuffs and blast music all day just to have any hope of getting anything done, I'm not starting a commute, and I'm not sacrificing lunches with my kids for some executive's opinion about how I ought to collaborate most effectively.
My first try at product validation using pre-orders
Everytime I see a topic of product validation to come up, it's always "get preo-orders, signups mean nothing", This is first time I am validating using pre-orders and it's a product that helps you to make pre-order pages to validate. Roast my idea and page.
Now that the realtime patch is in mainline Linux, that approach might make more sense going forward. I don't think systemd has any meaningful realtime tasks by default. My current job has a different set of performance constraints (only need low latency something like 99% of the time, so systemd and noisy cloud neighbors and whatnot are fine), so I probably won't be looking at that part of the stack in any depth any time soon.
Note: This isn't to be confused with model collapse (the rapid deterioration of models trained on their own data), this paper talks about neural collapse (Read here:https://medium.com/ai-assimilating-intelligence/what-is-neur...)
Just cause feels like a stretch. Is that common in a lot of employment contracts? Feels like one of those rules that sounds like it could make sense but in reality it does not play out and you get this weird cohort of unproductive employees that you can never get rid of.

my personal feeling on this is rather, removing someone elses code is like dismissing their work. and generally i don't want to do that. if it is not clearly a bug, then i'd hesitate. someone wants this feature. taking it away would not be nice to them.

it may be similar to the problem of design by committee. everyone wants to get their favorite features in, and we are more concerned about our relationship to our colleagues than the end result. here, we can solve this in a way to make everyone happy, but without stopping to ask if removing that mis-feature would actually make anyone unhappy.

thinking further, i think this is also a problem with personal ownership of code or features instead of team ownership. this feature is owned by X, i can't remove it without his permission, or without a discussion in a meeting. leaving it in and working around it is the path of least resistance
> very very very slightly confusing for - and /

It's fine if you DNF it:

(- a b c) => (+ a (- b) (- c))
(/ a b c) => (* a (/ 1 b) (/ 1 c))
I mean, unless you're arguing that employers are in some sense entitled to the labour of their employees under terms dictated by the employer, I'm not sure how that works.
Genuine question: what prevents the NYT from offshoring these jobs if they can be done from home? I feel for you, as a fellow worker, but unless there is something hyper-local about the job such as regulatory requirements or trust issues with IP protection, the jobs will go to the ones who work hard without complaining too much.
The NYT is very profitable.
I perceive it as "light grey", so shrug.

It's all "readable" in the sense of "I can read it", but not in the sense of "I can read it effortlessly". I have a bit of CSS in Stylus to fix it, and it takes noticeably less effort to read it with a "normal" font. The RabbitMQ menu is just so much easier to scan as well with a more normal colour.
Who is the real Owner of your Data? – MyNotes
When I see code like that, I wonder whether a beginner is trying to fix a bug where they unexpectedly copied by reference rather than value.
As much as I am a bolshy union member and supporter, this doesn't seem too bad on the surface, the article doesn't make clear what the issues with it are?

Times management said in an email to workers on Sunday that it had offered a 2.5 percent annual wage increase, a minimum 5 percent pay increase for promotions and a $1,000 ratification bonus. It also said that the company would maintain its current in-office work requirements of two days a week through June 2025, while allowing employees to work fully remotely for three weeks per year.

> I am not required to celebrate at the cynicism of attempting to undermine faith in democracy to win a better job

You're being melodramatic. There are piles of news sources to choose from, absent NYT. And that assumes it falls over due to the strike, although it seems likely they need workers on hand to do ops.
