That's not a scam any more than Ferraris and Lamborghinis and Louis Vuitton are. Which is to say, they might be priced high, but at the end of the day, the good being represented is exchanged for money. A scam would be misrepresenting a product aka lying and selling something that isn't as advertised. A scam is a 1 terabyte hard drive that only holds 128 gigabytes, a car that has no engine.

There is arguably no way to judge "fairness". Employee A gets assigned to work on LLMs. Employee B gets assigned to work on Android 9/Mac OS 12 security patches. Another example includes unforeseen difficulties. I have a friend that signed up to implement a feature. That feature would have taken 1-2 weeks in any standalone app, but, he happened to be on web browser team and the number of edge cases that came up and the amount of back and forth between standards committees meant it ended up taking 2 years. He was judged poorly even though all of it was out of his control because everyone though it should have taking 1-2 weeks.

I feel like I'd prefer some balance. There are superstars. We know them. We can easily point them out in peer reviews. But, we're also a team, there's lots to do, not everyone gets to work on the high profile easy to identify "impact" parts.

> Correlation, not causation. The logic you used is the reason the SpuriousCorrelations website exists.

To declare that a correlation is spurious with no evidence is far worse than saying that a correlation might indicate a relationship. Even saying something is a confounding issue implies there's a relationship to be confounded (not that Palo Alto is typical of anywhere.)

And "the pressures of modern life," "struggles with meaning," generic "mental health issues," and "stubbornness against seeking help?" Are those supposed to be unrelated to loneliness, too? Is access to "deadly knowledge" a real or new problem?

Tech gifts to help lower loved ones' stress levels
It’s not exactly number rearranging, even if the government increases subsidy payments to offset the cost. E.g. say gasoline costs twice as much per gallon due to a carbon tax, but subsidies are increased proportionally to offset the cost increase so that food prices remain constant. This still creates an incentive for farmers to use “cleaner” forms of energy as the ones that do will increase their profit margins. Ultimately the increased subsidy is a burden on the tax payer, but in a more narrow sense carbon producing farms would be subsidizing some of the costs for farms that produce less carbon.

Whether this plays out as intended remains to be seen. I think externalities need to be priced in somehow, the issue is determining the appropriate cost. If you want the market to decide the cost efficiently there needs to be some mechanism to tie the two measures together (increased environmental quality => lower carbon tax rate). I agree however that manipulating the economics of food production is dangerous and needs to be done slowly and carefully.

Does Russia have the right to apply policies equivalent to the US' own Monroe Doctrine, or doesn't it?

No country has a "right" to apply the Monroe Doctrine, anywhere, of course.

The idea that we should defend or empathize with (or "understand") Russia's current smash-and-grab operation underway in Ukraine, based on a perceived similarity between its actions and whatever bad things other empires have done, way back when -- I find to be really quite bizarre.

Why do you think Russia doesn't have that right, when the USA does?

I don't think the US has any such right -- and I find it quite strange that pretend to "know" that I would.
In this case they could have just said "hearing is trivially important to most humans" without any loss of value to the paper. The purple prose seems to add nothing at all.
Aside from the mountain of actual evidence, just to build a philosophical intuition against fine-tuning - you need to appreciate the enormous scale of trial and error at play.

- The Earth seems like the perfect planet but looking out into the sky there are trillions of planets that aren't perfect at all.

- Most likely the universe also appears "perfect" for the same reason - there must be a graveyard of universes where the parameters just didn't work out for life.

- Evolution is much the same - many mutations occur all the time, most are fixed by cellular machinery, most that aren't are deleterious, but once in a while a helpful mutation emerges. Take a moment to understand the timescale involved. Don't just handwave away 3.8 billion years as some number - feel it, starting at 1 year and stepping up each order of magnitude. You will realize that a million years is essentially "forever ago", and we had 3800 of those to get here. Consider how many species exist that aren't civilizational sentient intelligence.

Here's the play:

If integrations are required to unlock value, then the platform with the most prebuilt integrations wins.

The bulk of mass adopters don't have the in-house expertise or interest in building their own. They want turnkey.

No company can build integrations, at scale, more quickly itself than an entire community.

If Anthropic creates an integration standard and gets adoption, then it either at best has a competitive advantage (first mover and ownership of the standard) or at worst prevents OpenAI et al. from doing the same to it.

(Also, the integration piece is the necessary but least interesting component of the entire system. Way better to commodify it via standard and remove it as a blocker to adoption)
Some background on Alcântara launch center. The facility is among those closest to the equator. The USA has been seeking access to it for a long time. Wikileaks has quite a few files about the negotiations which I found to be incredibly humiliating for Brazil. The USA wants to use the base but does not want Brazil to have any rocket or missile technology whatsoever. They essentially wanted to lock brazilian personnel out of their own base.

Here's to hoping China presents a better deal. I don't have any faith in the ability of this government to develop even a rudimentary space program, let alone a "rival" to Musk's corporations. Maybe they can at least avoid making some humiliating concessions though. If they can negotiate some kind of technology transfer with China that'll be a major victory.

> IMO these kinds of "shortcuts based on column naming across tables" usually end in disaster down the road.

I can see that point, and that was not what I wanted to express with my litmus test. It's only supposed to be a litmus test after all. In a proper solution there would be additional things I would be looking for, but so far everything I've seen already fails that "trivial" test.

One could easily re-formulate it, so that in the one tabel the column is named ".firstname", and in the other one it is named ".first_part_of_the_name".

The core point is more that no matter the relational logic you layer on top of a table/view, that logic should be paramterizable by table/view/column names, to be properly relocatable. I'd be happy about suggestions for better examples! Some solutions (I think dbt) do have some relocateability across schemas, but usually in a more singleton-like manner rather than being able to instantiate the logic multiple times.

I can just tell you that I interact with queries that would benefit from such kind of reuse on a daily basis. One common thing would also be mechanisms that you want to reuse across many different tables in your schema. E.g. soft-deletes or historic/snapshot tables. Nowadays those kinds of solutions usually end up being expressed in the ORM/query builder of a programming language (and thus highly fragmented across programming language ecosystems), instead of living on an SQL-like level and being able to mature better.

Parent's point was about lay-offs, not firings. I'm very comfortable with their suggestion. Make the company be explicit. If it's a firing ("they are underperforming") then sure, that doesn't affect H1B eligibility, but you have to actually fire them. If it is a layoff ("we don't need those jobs") then why are you turning around and hiring for them immediately afterwards?

What is your point?

The article says that the letter specifically mentioned examples where Musk failed to act with scientific integrity. It details the situation, which happens to be linked with right-wing stuffs. It obviously does not say "Musk has used his platform on X to make unjustified and divisive statements, which is perfectly fine, but it happens to be on an ideology we don't like", it says "Unlike other members that have the same ideology as Musk and for which we have no problem with them staying members of the RS, Musk did not express his view in a normal way, he has used is platform on X to act in a way that is very much incompatible with scientific integrity". The problem raised is the unjustified and divisive statements that prove that Musk is intellectually dishonest.
(and even if we give credit to the very weak argument that Musk is some kind of split personality that is magically intellectually honest if the subject is more "science related", the history of his statements shows quickly that it's not the case).

The consultation with a lawyer was to determine if it breached the Code of Conduct, proof that, contrary to what you pretend, the first sentence does not imply that it has nothing to do with scientific integrity. If the first sentence implied that, why would they even bother paying a lawyer to check something that, according to you, is obviously not breaching a Code of Conduct that only talks about scientific integrity. (and, as explained, the layer concluded that there were risks of legal retaliation, but not that the code of conduct was not breached)

> The primary "Loneliness" epidemic that gets talked about today is basically just the mainstreamification of incel/4chan talking points.

How is associating an idea with some tiny subculture a worthwhile comment on its merits? Is the implication that social scientists and statisticians claiming a loneliness epidemic on the payroll of big incel? Or is the implication that if you want to discuss the fact that people are becoming more isolated, it means you're an incel?

> "Loneliness" is really trying to figure out why young men/women aren't dating, partying, doing drugs, etc.

These are indicators. Nobody (except the party supply industry or the alcohol industry) is talking about people not partying for the sake of the parties, or not doing drugs for the sake of the drugs. They're talking about it because lonely people are unhealthier and less happy.
> How many people are impacted and how? Will they lose their businesses, jobs, and life savings?

A good place to start would be an economic analysis of all the people downstream, all the cultures and livelihoods that were lost due to the installation of the dam in the first place.

The dam was only up for less than a century, yet your statement implicitly assumes the water now belongs to those who control the dam. To claim that the dam beneficiaries are somehow the victims and the downstream communities are the bad guys for wanting their livelihoods back - preposterous and disingenuous.

Let's correct your error: the river has been feeding downstream cultures for centuries. Fishing on the Klamath was at one point a livelihood supporting tens of thousands of people. The dams (combined with the timber industry) have completely decimated the salmon habitat and the fishing industry with it. Those who installed the dam and used it did so explicitly to take resources from one place and use them for their own benefit. We have a word for that - theft. And now they're being asked to return those resources. The horror! Spare me the crocodile tears.

> The closest it comes is talking about the spotted owl, where 30,000 people lost their livelihoods without compensation

This is absolutely nothing like the spotted owl situation. This attitude of people vs nature is a false dichotomy. Salmon have cultural, economic, and nutritional value that makes them a keystone resource for those communities. The issue is not the salmon's survival, it's the survival of the people who depended on them.

The vibe matters to recruitment. Whether it's a lie or not is frankly immaterial. People decide based on feelings, and if the Pentagon had any sense, they'd work to make sure the feelings were one of benevolence and camaraderie.

I'm not saying this doesn't happen, but I also think it's genuinely difficult to write policies that apply to technical systems that don't exist at the time of writing and which are also clear enough that regulators, courts, and the relevant parties within tech companies all understand what they mean, what they imply about technical systems, etc.

With respect to much older law, e.g. copyright, I think we still haven't fully interpreted what constitutes "copying" or "distributing" in a digital context.

With respect to data privacy, though I was part of a team that was responsible for ensuring my company met GDPR obligations, it's still not clear to me what really constitutes deletion or erasure for these purposes. What if my DB doesn't delete stuff on disk immediately but marks some records with an in-memory tombstone, so normal DB queries will no longer return the record but files containing the record do still exist? Am I obliged to delete all DB backups when any individual exercises their deletion rights? If my datalake uses columnar files that record events (e.g. clickstream data) from many users, every time any user exercises their deletion rights, do I have to re-write all the files that included any event from them? To find all files containing a user efficiently, I'd probably need to start indexing by user, which if anything puts my team on the path to using user-specific data more intensively going forward. Or is it sufficient to mark their ID in a "forgotten" file and ensure that datalake results do not include information from their records, though the records are in principle still readable? If you didn't have a good systems/data engineer participating in the drafting of the policy, it's easy for a regulator to just write "delete" without thinking through what the actual definition should be, and what the implications are.

> the idea of sharing society’s abundance with everyone is clearly possible

This is what I was replying to. I'm saying that discovery comes with "inequality" in some sense, because it takes time to distribute and refine processes for making things. Only rich people 100 years ago could afford what would now be classed as the worst cars in the world. Now almost anyone can buy a car, at least in developed nations. But you don't need to think of it as "sharing", but rather as "markets". Goods and services that are worth scaling, and can be scaled, will be.
I think the question is, if you remove the filenames entirely, how do you keep the parts ordered?

It's the other way around - precombined characters (with diacritics) are there because they were in legacy encodings. But, assuming that by "generalized diacritics" OP means Unicode combining characters like U+0301, there's nothing legacy about them; on the contrary, the intent is to prefer them over precombined variants, which is why new precombined glyphs aren't added.

That's still many orders of magnitude too little.
