outliers always exist, you were dealt bad hands. I think also if you pushed hard you could have gotten this covered, just needs a whole lot of yelling and if that doesn’t work going social and trying to get some publicity behind it, especially if it was 1 DAY after warranty expired.

I personally thinks it makes financial sense to get extended warranty for things like this, $15k used to be a price of a new car, getting a warranty to cover that past Tesla’s warranty I think makes financial sense.

For those old enough to remember, we heard it all before in the 1980's about Japan so experience has made us circumspect.

But even more so, markets enforce discipline on capital that state directed firms don't have. Everyone decries executives who "only look as far as next quarter's profits", and while admittedly at the margins that can have perverse incentives, in the large it demands that management put capital to work at profitable enterprises selling goods and services the public actually want.
I guess developers should have a pay structure similar to sales when you make part of your money from bonuses tied to results. But those results are hard to evaluate because shipping something fast can have bugs found after the reward date.

I mean we have suicide statistics.

People are literally killing themselves.

Edit: I reached comment limit, but I want to respond to the "correlation/causation" response:

I get what you are saying from pure statistics, but the basic premise is that "loneliness" ... don't get me started on how you define that aside from the usual bullshit social sciences survey crap ... isn't a problem.

But is it a stretch to take this sentence:

"modern life, struggles with meaning, increased competition, mental health issues, stubbornness against seeking help, access to deadly weapons/knowledge"

isn't all basically saying "loneliness"?

And by people killing themselves, I mean men, because also this article is possibly/probably doing the almost-all-female psychology male blindness thing.

Humans are social creatures and need social interaction and connection, but men aren't social connection developers, especially in the Land of the Stoic Cowboy.

Loneliness the concept is IMO deeply semantically intertwined with loss of meaning, economic disenfranchisement, maintenance of sanity, feeling trust in society to get help, paranoia/clinging to weapons for surrogate psychological defense.

The scary thing is that the suicide rate increase in old men has basically stabilized, instead suicide growth is in YOUNG MEN, which are critical to the demographic / GDP / economic performance of the US, especially if we are entering a period of deglobalization and increased nearshore manufacturing.
> It means you do actually want pure destruction and are in fact motivated by misogyny and all those bad things.

Do you genuinely think this is why Trump won the election?

How do you explain Trump pulling in massive amounts of former-Democrat stalwarts, like black and Hispanic men, or Muslims?

https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/...

Do you think Muslim women went into the voting booth thinking "can't wait to destroy democracy!"? They may have miscalculated Trump's support for Zionism (Miriam Adelson donated ~$100 million to his campaign), but if anything that reinforces GP's point: human emotion is drawn to the likeable person, and likability needs to be accounted for.

I find your view even more perplexing. I get that it’s entirely motivated by anger and contempt, but it’s still weird that someone would get upset over the respect someone else is getting online.

I suppose it’s some deep personality trait difference that makes us right wingers appreciate his work and what makes leftists hate his guts.
Nothing really prevents continuous jamming the whole time it's overhead for an area you care about. All a government needs to do is broadcast noise at a high power on the band(s) of interest to completely drown out dissident signals.

> Else this is a privacy nightmare waiting to happen: It's easy to accidentially share numbers.

That's a critical implementation detail, but I think it can be done. All we need to do is make contact-sharing an explicit feature.

> But that's essentially re-inventing social networks with a narrow focus.

Yes it is. That's the utility of decentralized networks: by removing the hierarchy from the network, we have removed the explicitly drawn context. Instead, the context is implicit and flexible. There are pros and cons to this feature. Instead of segmenting "twitterverse", "facebookverse", etc.; we simply have "the universe". The same boundaries can be replicated, but the lines are drawn by the users instead of by the platform, all while preserving compatibility across those lines.

My answer to this change is to replace moderation with curation. I get into this distinction more in my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42238201

As far as privacy in curated networks goes, I think we could find some interesting strategies to accomplish it. One could be anonymous pseudonyms: publish the attestations you don't want traced back to you as an explicitly not-you user. Another could be attestation laundering: provide a publicly available user (that anyone can use) that publishes a collection of attestations as if it was the original publisher, and let collaborators vote on that user's overall validity via attestation.

Essentially, we must contend with the inverted hierarchy that decentralized networks are made of. It's definitely a change, but I think can provide a lot more utility than centralized networks provide today.

> I learned C, C++, etc. which was super interesting at the time but it just doesn't translate into JS/React-world super well.

The technology you learn is not really the point though, it's all of the fundamental underlying principles

Have you ever worked with someone who has no concept of Big O? I have. They wrote almost woefully inefficient code, and actually had no concept that code efficiency was even something you could reason about

This is not a terribly difficult thing to teach to a Junior, but it's just one example of things you learn in a degree program that bootcamps generally gloss over
this is why you build to a specific version of a library. drop your build script into a container with the versions of software it expects and it should do fine. containerization is the admittance that versioning environments is needed for most software. I expect the nix/guix crowds to win in the end.
For farmers today, the choice is more stark.

I can only speak to small and medium farms, but if we're talking large horsepower cultivators / row farming, It's really a choice between keep my old pre-emissions diesel/buy a pre-2006 used tractor from auctions/marketplace for 50k, or double down and lease a 250k-400k new mid-size tractor.

You make it seem like many farmers have choices, but old "dirty" tractors are the only financial options for many without signing up for indentured servitude to JD/Case/etc

Employers want to pay the minimum, clearly, but until a person’s salary exceeds the value they bring to a firm, there will be other firms willing to pay more and attract that talent. So provides some upward pressure on wages, which the author addresses:

> Economists will teach you something called the Marginal Productivity Theory of Wages, the idea being that the amount of money that a company is willing to spend on an employee is essentially the value that the company expects to get out of their work. This strikes me as mostly true, most of the time, and likely to be the case in the corporate world that we’re considering here.
This must be what passes for creativity in upper management. Let's buy a new "visual identity" and then shoehorn "AI" into something.

I was thinking about the danger of these acquisitions and how they are often the beginning of the end for companies involved, making them more and not less vulnerable to the market since they are usually loaded up with debt that can magically transform a viable business into a non-viable business. I just saw a video by an anime fan who's worried about Sony buying Kadokawa which owns a bunch of anime studios: somehow they're not going to shut down the worst anime studios, they are going to shut down the best. Microsoft, for instance, shut down a studio that made a smash hit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/1cpd4ys/president...

One thing is for sure is that we are going to get lots of games that were stale five years ago on Game Pass. You'd almost thing Microsoft was on a rampage to shut down the game industry, so 20 years from now kids are playing outdoors because games aren't fun anymore.
I have an issue with this thinking, but I don't mean to pick on you...it's common within organizational politics.

Managers suggest that an employee must "go above and beyond" their ordinary duties to get an exceptional rating.

But that just means that "going above and beyond" is, in fact, a duty. The problem is it's an ill-defined duty which is even more susceptible to the whims of what the manager thinks counts as "above and beyond." Good managers give clear rubrics of performance.

To me, "meets expectations" says that the employee's error rate was at acceptable levels and "exceptional" means they had almost no errors whatsoever.
I can't add a product, it asks me to add an icon despite the fact that I already uploaded one.
And that memory safety is completely not an issue if you're writing something like a game, trading system, simulation, internal application or science calculation where there's no potentially hostile users who could do real harm by hacking your code. It's just a class of bug that in modern C++ is generally far outnumbered by logic bugs.
I wonder how a graph looks for "how many seconds does it take people to run 100 meters".

Might be a mix because quite a number of older or overweight people runs very slowly and some can't at all.
In c++ it does care what N and M are at compile time, at least the optimizer does for autovectorization and unrolling. Would that not be the case with const generic expressions?
Or other way around - in bigcorp (or in startup) choosing what to work on have much bigger impact than the work you do.

On very low level it's up to your manager. As time goes, even as IC you have a lot of agency. It's not just company selection, team selection, but also which part of the project you are working on and how you are approaching solving it.

Of course "if everyone does this, who will fix the bugs". However, the quickest promoted people I've seen are the people who were excellent at politics-izing (and sometimes foresight) the best work assigned to them.
A PRNG with a 32 bit seed can only generate up to 2^32 different sequences of 32bit numbers, which are guaranteed to repeat after 2^32 generated numbers. Without doing the math, Even for a 3mb file chances are very slim there'll be a seed that generates the entire file. The number of unique 3mb files is astronomically larger than the number of sequences you can generate, even if you'd try every possible substring of all the sequences. So you need a PRNG that can generate more sequences, which you can only achieve by making the seed larger. What the person you were replying to was implying is that the size of the seed might approach the size of the sequence you're trying to generate.
I agree - the motivation provides important context to the rest of the research. It helps the reader quickly parse and sort.

I used to know someone who, 25 years ago, bought a house that was built in the 1870's in Minnesota and cleared out large amounts of trash and old newspapers from the basement. A year later, she was in tears, thinking about the amount of history that was probably lost forever.
This concept is not new - see [0].

There's ample research that Welchian stack ranking, and assuming a Gaussian distribution of employee performance, is not well-founded. Even its original pioneers (General Electric) have abandoned the practice (see [1]).

Not sure why there are so many commenters here defending the Gaussian model. Most researchers at this point agree that a pareto distribution is more realistic.

Great perspective and I agree. This is the basic reason that performance management in an organization is so difficult and fraught.

A significant percentage of people in an organization create the problems they solve.
Thanks. Yeah, I've also been having similar thoughts for logging systems. In particular right now we (at my job) configure the log level through compile-time switches. It would be nicer to be able to toggle things dynamically. Yes, including per module instead of just "debug" or "info"

I find it strange that there's so much alignment in gen pop on how celebrities are perceived, and that any original opinion on these celebrities is considered "idiosyncratic". I feel like there's a Spiegelgrund being built somewhere for people who don't think Taylor Swift is the absolute cat's ass, because that means they're different and different is threatening.

Also, what constitutes idiosyncratic neural representation of celebrities? Back when Britney Spears became huge, my nickname for her was "the succubus", after a contemporaneous episode of South Park in which Chef fell under the sway of a succubus when she sang "The Morning After" to him. Britney Spears was clearly an idiot, and she had a weak voice compared to other female singers, yet when people saw her gyrating and mewling on MTV'S TRL they went absolutely bonkers and I didn't get it. Is that idiosyncratic celebrity ideation?

Japan's 'Human Washing Machine' Will Have You Clean in 15 Minutes
At some point, people invest into their work/employment so heavily and tie it to their identity tad too much, they internally need to feel this is the right and best choice, which for many top talents may mean working with "top 10%", whatever that means. So otherwise smart folks will start parroting official company policies and become a 'good boy'. Suffice to say I don't look kindly on this, but it highly depends on the business.

I've heard similar claims many times before, albeit mostly not from places paying so much. Ie at university, there was promotion seminar from Accenture branch in our country, the guy was some higher manager and stated the same, how they want only the best of the best and work hard getting and maintaining this. Then maybe 10 years later I had 20 of them as contractors and reality was not that rosy, huge variation from good to terrible.
Have you been to an optician recently? I was finding myself leaning in, then had a test earlier this year and, well, now I have a (very mild) prescription.
I wouldn’t call this a “major rebranding” at all. A rebranding is when you change your brand, your name and logo. Facebook → Meta is a rebranding. Google → Alphabet is a rebranding. The companies changed their names and image, though they kept products with the old names (and thus fooled no one). This is still SUSE and still uses the chameleon. They’re renaming (and possibly rebranding) specific products but the company is as recognisable as ever.
Perhaps there needs to be some acknowledgment that people aren’t perfect and soldiers don’t need to be and a more flexible, nuanced screening process. A system that required dishonesty wasn’t honorable and it seems odd to blame the software/system that exposed that.
While I'm not saying it's not an emergent property of complexity, is this a falsifiable claim? Is there any proof of this? Until we can replicate consciousness (heck, until we can even measure consciousness), this is as much a matter of faith as any other belief about how consciousness emerges.

By all means, if the science has advanced on this, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. But I've yet to see anything come close to explaining the phenomenon in a testable and falsifiable way, placing this entire subject outside of the realm of rational science in the meantime.

Bizarre article, it makes it sound like this is some new experiment and a contrast to the US?

Homeless camps were effectively legalized by a 2018 court ruling in the US, as long as there isn’t shelter space. Sounds simple enough, build more shelter space.

However in the west coast cities that was interpreted by local zealots as “shelter space that allows heavy drug and alcohol use”. A bed is not enough for this scenario, you need a separate structure per person.

West coast cities have been supporting camps like this (tiny) one in Halifax for decades.

Very recently the 2018 ruling was overturned, there are still thousands of camps supported by billions in government funding.
