The US TV show "All in the Family" in the early 70s included the character Archie Bunker, who was an outspoken bigot. This might have been the origin of using "the Oriental persuasion" as a joke. My parents thought it was hilarious, and explained the joke to me. Yes, since then, that usage has leaked from being humor to being used in the sense above.

Wealth is savings. If you don’t save, you don’t have any wealth. But by income, the bottom 50% are responsible for 20% of the productivity / income. They are probably more than 20% of consumption, given the others save more than they consume out of their income.

Except Valve, for their Steam service. But that's only because someone realized that you could Zerg rush them with arbitration claims, whose fees they were obliged to pay (since their ToS forced users into it). Their only option that wouldn't be massively disruptive financially, in that case, would be to agree to a settlement with the arb representatives. So, now, you're only allowed to sue Valve, in a specific court of their choosing.

Well we are (humans) are quite lazy (by nature).

The only way for us to move anywhere is to establish set of motivations. Utopias (as extreme goals) are such grand scale motivations.

Were we, as a society, would be without Russian revolution and its attempt to implement extreme utopia of "happiness to everybody and free of charge here and now". I suspect that modern Europe and US that are social-democratic now (but not centuries later) is a result of that idealistic and utopian push Russians tried to implement ahead of time.

Humanity needs global goals that will motivate us to move further. Global warming fight is OK but not enough I think. Something great like "jump to stars now" and is required, no?

The ethical dilemma here is probably based around “individual vs community”, but it’s hard to say when there is no knowledge of how it actually affects the “community” in the long term. The risk is that inspiring people to self-treat might cause more harm than good, but again, nobody really knows.

I’d argue that it was more of a liability refusal from the journals, disguised as ethics. It should probably noted that it’s not an outright lie though. Again it’s hard to say considering we don’t have access to the refusals.

I don't only shop at whole foods. For example I buy all my produce, usually non-organic except greens as they tend to look better, at a local chain. I unfortunately don't have digital receipts for that though looking up print coupon ads from 2019 to now they are about the same prices (these are sales). Bone in pork shoulder $1.50/lb vs $2/lb. Avocados 2/$1 vs 5/$3. 24pk soda $7 vs $10.

Whole foods gets a bad rap for price, but their 365 brand is pretty solid price for non organic goods. E.g. canned beans are $0.10 higher than the store brand of the 'cheap store'. Even things like chips are a good buy at WF. Amazon just has that supply chain advantage I guess.

You definitely have to be mindful where, and how, you shop if you care about price and quality. It's why I mentioned in one of my other comments that basically food deserts are where I'd expect to see these issues. This would align well with the rural vote. A lot of people don't have a choice, where as I have over a dozen.

So yeah I have no doubts the degree varies across certain regions, but that's kind of always expected. In rural areas you'll have higher purchasing power for land but typically less wages and higher price of goods, with lower taxes on those goods.
It's not really a response because there is simply no telling what 'the bare minimum' is so encouraging it doesn't do any of what you suggest it does. For instance, you don't have any idea whether the people you think haven't read the article actually haven't. The whole thing is based on effectively unknowable assumptions about comments you find annoying.

We can't nerdsolve our way out of annoying comments. We do know of a great and highly effective way to improve the quality of threads, though - write a good comment yourself.
Nor can you publish in scientific journals which require an ORCID. Their terms of service state "Except as set forth herein, all Disputes shall be resolved by through a desk arbitration".
I feel that a lot of men voted for Trump, not because they liked him, but because they felt rejected by the Left as a whole.

If you go on left-leaning media, you can find comments that would be considered gross hate speech if it targeted any other group, by the hundreds. And yet, people very rarely call them out on that, if ever. There seems to be an omerta on misandry (and anti-white racism to some extent) amongst the Democrats. More than that, a lot of them seem to even revel in it, proud of it.

Not surprising that some men end up with a mindset "I don't care if the Right wins, I need the Left to lose".

The bottom line being that America really needs a middle/center party, but I fear it might be too late.
I actually agree with you on BHH Labs but for a completely different reason. We have minimum wage laws for a reason, and by working for less than that they were undercutting other people's labor. Without that externality I don't really see an issue with it.

Underpaying drivers is not part of the Uber discussion here whatsoever, they're specifically talking about raising prices for inclement weather to incentivize more drivers to accommodate more passengers. If they're paid $10 vs $11 an hour or $100 vs $110 an hour is irrelevant for discussing the ethics in this case.

Your attempt to sow a divide among people by labeling them the derogatory "elites" in line with GOP talking points isn't helpful here.

If you want to ground this conversation in facts, here's a few for you to chew on:

1. Someone earning $500k/year TC still has far more in common with someone earning $80k or even $50k when you compare them against people with hundreds of millions or billions of dollars who control capital.

2. Someone earning $500k in a vhcol area like the Bay Area still likely cannot afford what historically was considered a "nice" home in a "nice" neighborhood without years of saving up when those homes cost $3M+.

3. Someone earning that may not necessarily be wealthy and be largely dependent on their ability to continue receiving a paycheck compared to those with true wealth who can take loans against like billionaires.

The reality is, someone earning that much is likely financially comfortable where a major disaster likely won't bankrupt them, and can likely afford reasonable housing for a family, and retire one day. That is more than most of America for sure right now and that sucks, but it absolutely does not make them "elite" and it speaks volumes of the efficacy of the GOP propaganda machine that you and so many others think that.

That used to simply be "the American dream."
That's a bluff (or more mundanely hot air) considering that NATO is a tool of American influence, even control, over Europe. In any case that's much too big an aspect of American foreign policy to threaten to use it to protect X.

Remember "we're going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it". That gets headlines and people talking.

Very nice, I've been looking for something like this since completing a port of DiffMatchPatch. I'll going to give it a spin right away, thanks for sharing your hard work!

As a bit of feedback, you might wish to put a section showing how to make a git alias for diffr, to complement the section on how to install it as the default. I know how to do this already, because I use delta and dft depending on what I need to see, but it would be useful to others to have a copy-paste solution handy.

It is so sad that there are so many vultures eager to make a profit out of desperate people with terrible diseases. This is why ethical guidelines and FDA regulations are for, after all. Of course it would be great to judge case-by-case (the scientist in the article is a real hero!). I would like to see a detailed cost-to-benefit study on the topic of allowing unapproved treatments for terminally ill patients.

The court system is expensive because it’s the wrong mechanism to address this aspect of corporate and monopoly power, frankly all companies have gotten too large they aren’t efficient at any thing other than redistribution of the fruits of labor increasingly unfairly all the way up the organizational chart.

The fact that no-one fails no matter the egregiousness of their actions or behaviors is absurd.

Consumer Reports is the original here. I hope they have stayed true to their mission without getting sucked into the affiliate link stuff.

I tend to go to YouTube to find videos where people buy a bunch of stuff and test them, like Project Farm. There are some that lean on sponsors and affiliates hard, which can call their integrity into question if the results are largely opinion based. If I don't hear any negatives and it sounds like someone is just ready marketing copy from the company, I disregard everything they say and don't go back to their videos.

There are probably still some niche sites for some things, but they are getting harder and harder to find. HouseFresh wrote an article about this a while back that made a bit of noise[0].

I'd rather formulate it the other way around. There are not enough smart people in computing working on the really important things. Instead they are working on what pays the most.
I’m working on an idea for a business model in recruiting that doesn’t exist (to my knowledge) yet. I found an LLM (Claude Sonnet 3.5) and to be very helpful in finding the right verbiage to describe it.

What I did it come up with random prompts, asking it to design a landing page. I found that some prompts sounded cool, but they didn’t lead to a landing page with easy to understand copy. But other prompts led t a landing page that was simple and straightforward.

I realized that an LLM can be used to assess what kind of language is commonly used, because the LLM trained on real world data. So I use it to say something new in a way things have been said before.

Features like artificial breathing, slightly different pronounciation and other "features" are only available in commercial systems... unfortunately I don't remember the name or the video I saw about these, because I'm not interested in non FOSS stuff for my personal projects.
When something bad happens, the person it happened to or their family will often be (understandably) irrational, and make the maximum amount of fuss and ask for the maximum damages and penalties. Even if the risk was reasonable and ethical. So naturally researchers, medics, take extra precautions. Being reasonably ethical might not be enough protection.

One thing that might be done (in my clueless opinion) is accept that sometimes shit happens and preventing the victim from getting exaggerated revenge or damages or whatever.

I'm sure at least once it happened that people who actively requested experimental treatments turned around and sued or called for prosecution after their experimental treatment took a bad turn. Of course researchers will be reluctant to provide experimental treatments.
> Do you consider yourself a “developer”? What is your title at said company?

Yes , for the past 40 years. And CTO/co-founder.

> Do you write code for yourself or for this business?

I have been writing DSL, code generators and other tooling for the past around 20 years for this company. Before that I did the same thing for educational software (also my company).

> Who determined and what criteria define who “cannot be a client facing consultant”?

They did; some people just don't like sitting with clients noting down very dry formulae and business rules.

> What is an “in house builder”?

Our in-house tooling which uses AI to create the software.

> What were these “fulltime devs” that you said “you don’t need anymore” doing before these llms?

Building LoB apps, bugifxing, maintaining, translating Excel or business rules to (Java) code.

> Do your customers know you swapped from human workers to llms? Are they comfortable with this transition?

Yes, they like it; faster (sometimes immediate results) and easier to track; no black box; just people sitting next to you.

> How did this change result in “much higher profit margins”?

Very high fees for these consultants but now they do 'all the work'; in total they make more hours than they did before, however much less than they did as programmers. But the fees are such a multiply that the end result is larger profits.

> When you say “with less people” did you just give multiple peoples’ workloads to a single dev or did the devs you retained ask for more work?

Yes, 1 consultant now does that work and can manage more.

> What do you use an llm for in the ERP space?

Feed it specs which get translated to software. This is not the type of 'he mate, get me a logistics system in german'; the specs are detailed and in the technical format we also use to write code ourselves the past 20+ years.

> Why would clients use you if they could just use the llm?

See above, we have a lot of know-how and code built in. That's why we cannot really sell this product either as no-one will get useful stuff out of it without training.
Wasn't really being serious :)
> getting them to help me fix distributed consensus problems in my fully bespoke codebase make them look worse than useless.

Often the complex context of such problem is more clear in your head than you can write down. No wonder the LLM cannot solve it, it has not the right info on the problem. But if you then suggest to it: what if it had to do with this or that race condition since service A does not know the end time of service Z, it can often come up with different search strategies to find that out.
Another big company (Amazon) uses arbitration to just move the minimum they can screw you over for. That's is, step one for arbitration is to first pay the arbitration fees (~2k USD). Which basically means you can never fight back for small things.
and what would be some important (and boring) things to focus on?
Overreliance on Google = bad ending.

They would have to de-google, and be forced to cut most of their staff. This is largely considered intolerable. Google won this one. The way I see it, there are 3 possible futures for the web, in order of likeliness:

a.) The current status quo could remain, and Firefox will hover around 3-5% marketshare, maybe boosting up to 10% or 15% when people realize they need ublock origin to tolerate using the internet.

b.) The U.S. could break up Google via antitrust law, which would force Mozilla to either find another (likely just as bad if not worse) sponsor, or, less likely, tighten their belt and "restore their former glory".

c.) Ladybird brings about a new browser revolution. Awesome, "safe" codebase from the ground up with compatibility, stability and efficiency with modern technologies deprecates everything else. Swift becomes widespread and well loved.
I use this and it's great. Only problem is when: 1) you want something outside of github (from my experience, already gitlab and codeberg can be buggy here, although very rarely), and 2) when you need a specific release channel (example: Firefox Beta, which requires a bit of work). But overall it works great. Now, one has to consider the security aspects: stores like Google Play (and, to a lesser extent, F-Droid) do perform some antimalware checks. It's not bulletproof, but it gives a bit more trust in case the dev goes rogue or is compromised. BUT you have to trust the store. With Obtainium, you have to trust: 1) the app's developer 2) Github/Gitlab/Codeberg 3) Obtainium's developer. So, it depends what's your threat model. I'm looking forward to seeing wider adoption for Accrescent!

> I've got better things to do with my afternoon than model check random bits of code in a forum. You wouldn't ask someone talking about a unit testing framework to unit test an example that you write up.

I totally would, and I would also reply to their example. I've exchanged code examples in the past right here on HN for discussions like this.

You obviously don't have to do anything, but if you're going to claim it's only a 10% difference compared to unit testing -- expect people to be skeptical unless you can show side-by-side examples.

> If you're curious, I'm writing a book on model checking C, which will be going off to the publisher sometime in 2025. There are also examples online.

I'm not at all curious about model checking C. I've seen that before numerous times, and frankly, even if you could cut the development cost in C by 50% through model checking, I still wouldn't be interested.

You keep going back to C... in a conversation that's that's supposed to cover C++. I'm not sure why you do this, if the solutions to them are actually comparable -- a lot of the world is on C++, so you would find a much, much broader audience if you cater to that. My suggestion (and you're obviously welcome to ignore me, but I'm just letting you know my reaction as a reader) is to focus your response letter & book at least partly on visibly demonstrating how your proposed solutions would have similar success on C++. If you don't sell people on this being a solution for C++, I doubt your writing will make many people change their minds about switching to a different language.

Apples and peaches. Jaws the movie is another section, the movie section. Jaws and JAWS are both in the software section. There's the potential for conflicted naming. Sorry to be emotionless here, but at least you could respect the fact that there is a popular software with the same name, without making jokes about it.

I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. Having the router advertise two kinds of subnet (one local and one global) is no more complicated than setting up NAT66. It's actually likely easier because it's likely something that can just be enabled with a simple setting, if it's not enabled by default, while NAT66 will probably require more intricate configuration, if it's even possible at all.

Not sure what the second paragraph is supposed to mean.

> Stripe is a fundamentally boring business

I understand what you're trying to say here, but I disagree.

What someone finds interesting or boring is of course subjective, but you'd be surpised at how many people find finance endlessly interesting - and especially the overlap between finance and software ("fintech").

On the surface, it might be bewildering that some people are more interested in internet payment processing than say, stem cell research, but that's just how peoples interests work!
Does mortgage rate affect housing affordability overall? I wouldn't think so. Seems like it would all be a marketing timing thing. Best situation seems like it would be to buy a house when rates are very high and then have them drop suddenly and refinance.
I don't know about the quality of our local healthcare system, but I'm a little annoyed that I didn't qualify for the free HPV vaccination but people two years younger than me did. The government invited anyone born in an 8 year period and about 20% responded. I wish they'd given me the option to take part in the program even if I wasn't actively invited, it's not like there's a shortage because of high demand; even among kids the vaccination rates are only at 50% to 60% thanks to the rise of antivax parents and covid misinformation.

I'm not going to start a fight with the local healthcare call center to let me pay the 200-300 euros for a vaccination they think I shouldn't be getting according to every piece of information they publish about it. I know the government is trying to cut costs on healthcare and all, but the resistance the idea that someone without a cervix may benefit from a HPV vaccination annoys me to no end.

Out of all possible healthcare cost cutting measures, charging hundreds for vaccines against diseases that are widely present within the borders of the country must be the stupidest.

That said, I'd much rather take the annoying European healthcare system over the American one. I can get every vaccine out of pocket twice a year and still be cheaper off than with your average American health insurance.
