> How is this possible?

Private companies, minus special government favors, have to deliver a product that customers want for a price that customers are willing to pay. If they are too inefficient at either identifying what those products are or at what price they should charge (both examples of inefficiency) there is no profit and eventually the funds run out and the business fails. Insofar as they can identify the right product and deliver it at a cost less than the price, they are efficient. In some ways, the profit is a measure of the efficiency of the enterprise.

A state owned enterprise however has no such penalty against inefficiency. A government can redirect resources from more efficient and productive parts of the economy to projects that would otherwise fail under private enterprise. That redirection does not depend on the will (whim?) of consumers/customer: taxation and money minting allow for bypassing the typical constraints of voluntary consumer/customer wants, needs, and value-for-value trade. One can read this to mean that efficiency, under a system of state owned enterprises, is nice-to-have rather than a matter of survival.
Rapidly aging, not already aged. For South Korea if current trends persist (so far they've only been getting worse), it's expected that 25% of the population would be 60 and older by 2050.
Yes I know that NTFS has snapshots, I mentioned that in another comment. I don't think NTFS is as relevant in comparison though. People who choose windows will have no interest in ZFS and vice versa (someone considering ZFS will not pick Windows).

And I don't think anyone bothers to use it due to the lack of user-facing tooling around it. If it would be as easy to create snapshots as it is on ZFS, more people would use it, I'm sure. It's just so amazing to try something out, screw up my system and just revert :P But VSS is more of a system API than a user-facing geature.

VSS is also used by backup software to quiet the filesystem by the way.

But yeah the others are great features. My main point was though that almost all the features of ZFS are very beneficial even on a single drive. You don't need an array to take advantage of Snapshots, the crash reliability that CoW offers, and checksumming (though you will lack the repair option obviously)
I'm starting to wonder if this is something that could/should be regulated...? I can't think of a great reason for allowing this from industry. It seems least reasonable you could be required to go back and remove postings when the position is filled or no longer available??
Morality aside, the logistics of this means you cannot literally PayPal someone 10 cents. The processing cost isn't worth transferring such a small amount.

So the answer to this is to pay $5 and be able to see 50 replies. But what if you're unsure you want to even see that many replies? It's now a steep cost to consider.
> This is what I call meta advice.

That’s what I call a grift. Your description reminded me of Dan Olson’s fantastic video on that type of strategy—where you make money by selling the idea that anyone can make passive income by doing something the seller doesn’t themselves do (anymore)—using the Mikkelsen Twins as the example.

In Dan’s words (emphasis mine), the Mikkelsen Twins aren’t special, grifters like them are a dime a dozen. He chose them as the example “because they are of a type. They are a representative sample of a category of grift. And also because they’re kind of incompetent and that makes them entertaining”.

He’s not wrong.

I switched from Brave to Vivaldi as my second browser on Android because it's still stuck in the 2010's with it's address bar at the top with no ability to change it. The most sold phones for the last half decade have all been 5-6 inches, and unless you have gigantic hands you need to reposition your hand in order to go from typing on the keyboard to the bottom to tapping the URL bar, so I'm on the other side of the fence, very glad that they default to the bottom URL bar and actually have the option to change it to the top for those that want it.
I like it when unsafe drivers pay the costs of the way they endanger all of us.

No, not really.

Neither approve nor disapprove: 6-12% vs 7-13%

Disapprove: 65-71% vs 72-78%

Not sure: 6-12% vs 4-10%

Not a super substantial difference. The outrage machine wins again!

> we always leave a posting up even when we're not really looking just in case the perfect candidate happens to walk through the door

I've seen one that remained up after the company itself was closed down… which I knew about by having been in it when it closed; even before that, it was so out of date the salary offered was about 60% of what they'd paid me when I joined.
This gets unwieldy quick as soon as your compiler host and target are different platforms.
Battery cells are just a commodity EV makers can purchase- they don't need to be able to engineer them in house. There are a lot more parts on an ICE car that pretty much need to be engineered by the vehicle manufacturer.
I just don't want my name ASSOCIATED with that kind of PRESS, ok??
What do you mean by efficient?

The heat emitted by the electronics will always be emitted and needs to go somewhere. If 1MWh of that heat is dumped into district heating how would that be less efficient than the 1MWh being dumped in the atmosphere to (hopefully) be reclaimed by a heat pump elsewhere?

Or, alternatively, that 1MWh could be absorbed by the already existing datacenter AC coils which could ultimately still be used to heat up district water as it cools the refrigerant. (People actually do this with swimming pools, using the coils from their AC to heat the pool).
Woops. I should have done more reading before posting.

Eh, I think that's just the state of contemporary "influencer"-heavy discourse. The similarity in how people talk about the two fields has more to do with the people doing the talking (they're the same people) than it does with similarities between the fields themselves.

While LLMs are still new, ML itself is by no means a new or unproven technology. Recommendation engines built on ML are, for better or worse, the backbone of the average person's online experience. Fraud and spam detection, built on ML, are baked into most of our digital utilities (email, payments, etc.) How many apps do you use that involve ETA predictions? Because those are all built on ML. Image recognition, speech-to-text, even the camera on most smartphones--it all relies on ML.

Even looking purely at LLMs, they've reached a point of adoption that blockchain never did. ChatGPT alone reports over 200 million users per week. Google search, possibly the most ubiquitous product in the history of the internet, uses LLMs as a standard part of search.

You may have criticisms of the technology, you may think it is overhyped or that companies are making a mistake by leaning into it, but it's difficult to rationally dismiss it as a purely speculative hype bubble when its usage is so widespread.
That perspective doesn’t mesh well with them wanting to use AI to replace people. They won’t care how well you perform if an AI can do it.
The issue is thst we both know those won't happen. Even if it's just scam shops that abuse it and everyone else plays the honor code. Rotten apples and all that.
They do pay higher premiums but that might not be enough to pay for a claim. The economics are often such that you price low risk drivers to subsidize higher risk drivers if realistically pricing the high risk drivers is not economical, i.e. would lead to losing business. It's a balance.
No need to unionize and strike in this case. Just convince people to stop using Meta's products. I've never had them (excl. a short period of WhatsApp) and never missed them.
> Shmoocon talk accepted - Dec 9, 2024, Google re-opens issue - Dec 19, 2024

Wondering what the internal process there was at Google? Is someone's job to cruise around the various conferences and dev events to look for any Google mentions and report back. Did Google really consider it an issue or just wanted it avoid looking bad in public after the talk was accepted.
I've been meaning to get to know gleam better, so I'm interested in your comment.

Do you mean that the error handling of an Erlang process is in any way diminished by using gleam? Or is it just that maybe it's unnecessary work to try so hard to prevent errors which you've already put so much into tolerating?

I have an old iphone somewhere and I also experienced this frustration. I appreciate you're not compatible with my ios - so give me the one that was. I don't care about whatever features you've added

However, I do suspect app developers don't want to be on the hook for supporting old versions, should they continue to serve things in need of security fixes etc etc. I don't entirely attribute it to malice.
"Meta announces 5% cuts in preparation for 'h1b workers'".
What I feel gets missed in these kinds of discussions are that YouTube is a thousand things to a thousand people. I probably have it running more than any other streaming service, but I almost exclusively watch music videos and skateboarding videos, and there is nothing obviously algorithmically driven about their production. They're not made for YouTube at all. YouTube just happens to be one of many distribution channels they end up available on, but the basic style and production methods of these videos hasn't changed a whole lot since the late 1980s. I'd have never heard of Mr. Beast if not for HackerNews talking about him all the time.

My wife is probably closer to a YouTube-native watcher, in the sense that what she's watching is created for YouTube specifically, but even then, it's informational deep-dives, lately on liminal spaces lore, Twin Peaks fan theories, and 3d printing. She raved glowingly lately about a 4-hour long Twin Peaks explainer. I'm sure that is many things, but it isn't flashy, short, there is no skimpy clothing, bright colors, or whatever it is that YouTube is supposed to be incentivizing. Whoever made it almost certainly made no money off of the effort and dumped decades of his life into the study of what ultimately came out there, and nobody is watching it because of the algorithm or a clickbaity thumbnail. The only people watching something like that are the most serious of serious nerds who deeply love Twin Peaks and probably have for most of a lifetime.
Oh ok, I've never done this, but I thought it was already there. Maybe this was the original ZFS from Sun? But maybe I just remember it incorrectly, sorry.

Well, no one seems to have a native linux client, but of they had one I would switch right now.
This is extremely common. In fact, it is the rule at universities and government agencies and government contractors, who are required to post every job even when they have a preferred candidate, and many big tech companies do the same thing. It wouldn't matter if you named the company – literally every large organization has done this dozens or hundreds of times.
I prefer less polished productions because in my experience there’s a strong correlation between not being obsessive about appearances and having quality substance.

I'd expect any normal company to do this on a regular basis, but without the barely intelligible corporate-speak.
In that scenario I think employers should have the right to make this decision since they own the device and it likely contains sensitive data and credentials belonging to them. But vendors selling devices to retail customers shouldn't be allowed to make that decision unless the customer explicitly asks for help.

I think it's pretty consistent, whoever legally owns the device should be allowed to decide what is and isn't allowed to run on it.
Yes, this is what qubes would probably suggest as the solution.

Thank you for your story. I have been running a low traffic blog for decades now and there was a time when I craved engagement. I never put too much effort in but I did change the things I wrote about to try to get noticed, a strategy that was unmarred by success.

The creators that find success need to pump out content at a ridiculous rate. It is a faustian bargain that sucks in a lot of people.
Why do you get off work so late? And also need to get up early (and thus sleep early)?
> The trade off is that the pedestrian has pretty much no right of way anywhere but a crossing, and cars will drive at you (or at least not stop for you) if you try to cross somewhere that is not a crossing.

That's not true, or at least it's bad/illegal driving if they do so, a pedestrian who is 'established in the road' as the right of way anywhere.

As you said:

> Though "Jaywalking" is not a thing and you can actually cross where ever you like.

Otherwise it would be a contradiction wouldn't it? If the pedestrians allowed to be there, the motorist obviously isn't allowed to run them over, ... I suppose you could say the pedestrian can continue crossing but only after first giving way to the motorist? There'd be more time with pedestrians in the road though.

Not that I recommend using that fact to cross when you don't have time, because you will anger motorists. Or they could not see you/be paying attention. They'd be wrong, but it's just not worth it, obviously.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was a significant under-count. I've been applying for jobs for, what, 3-4 years now, both when I was in Uni and after. I don't even know how many job applications I've submitted but I think I've gotten maybe 10-15 interviews at most? I have of course gotten the typical advice: "Build your network", "Submit a cover letter", blah blah blah, but the first bit is completely useless to me (I don't have the finances to go to conferences for example) and I've tried the second bit and haven't gotten anywhere. I've been told to tailor my resume but... Yeah, I'm not doing that when I'm supposed to be submitting hundreds of applications per day or something. Honestly it's hard to muster up the motivation now to apply for jobs instead of working on open-source projects and (maybe) posting something freelance-ish on fiver or something because at least with open-source projects I'll get somewhere and it's something I enjoy; with job hunting and all the automation at play, and with even more things getting automated, it's a lot harder to answer the question of "why should I even bother" when companies are slashing headcount like crazy and aren't fined heavily by these platforms for posting ghost jobs and wasting my time (or some equally as harsh punishment that makes them actually pay attention). I still apply occasionally, but given how horrible the market is I know my job application count has significantly fallen. I just hope the market turns around and we see some huge crackdowns on all this automation because it's massively disincentivizing applicants (after all, why apply when you can only submit an application every 10-30 seconds while a bunch of people can submit 10000 applications per minute?).

I used the embeddings from Voyage for a project in Swedish this summer.

The neat thing about Voyage was besides the speed of the service.

I think I had 250 million tokens and Voyage was the fastest. It took a couple of days on and off. I believe my napkin calculation showed that OpenAI would have taken months.
My city has those too, and drivers ignore them. Unless you mean one with a proper traffic signal that turns red, ours just turn on yellow flashing lights.

You're getting downvoted by gatekeepers but LLMs are amazing with SQL and this is a great use-case.
Performance reviews are bullshit. Being a "low performer" at Meta might mean you are not a suck-up, or that you have a sense of ethics.
> I am personally bemused to see “authenticity” invoked as a criterion for what is ultimately and obviously a performance

Imagine someone is actually an actor. They might play two different roles, one in a character and show they find boring, and one in relatable character in a show whose message they think is important. Don't you think their performance in the second one might be more authentic, despite being a "performance" in both cases?

This essay starts interesting, but I think it overreaches at the end.
The contention isn't that you can impersonate DankStartup, that's obviously not a vulnerability since you are indeed the domain owner. It's that former entities with DankStartup accounts might have used OAuth to create relationships of their own. And when the startup folds, they don't magically disappear.

Basically if Sally, the CTO of DankStartup, signed up for Taskrabbit or whatnot, it's possible for you as the owner of the domain to impersonate Sally in the context of that relationship.

Obviously the root cause here is that someone misused an account to do something not related to the business. And the actual impact is probably low since high value services tend strongly not to take tiny email domains as identity roots (i.e. sally@dankstartup.com clearly doesn't have a Vanguard account to steal).

So... like most security announcements it's oversold and spun. But it's real enough as I read it.
Jodrell Bank⁰ is open to visitors; not in Wales, but not a million miles away either.

People tire of being poked with an algorithmic stick, even though it ensures a reaction.
At high traffic times, they can make a pedestrian wait longer. Not so fun when it's cold out.

But otherwise somewhat easier to navigate.
The data collection methods are not foolproof and you can get dinged for "hard braking" even if you aren't. You're basically opting into a temporary rate decrease until they see data coming in that they don't like.
> Fireproofing isnt mandatory, so people dont do it

100%

> and they hate spending even one dollar extra on roofing when they know a taxpayer-backed insurance policy will cover their substandard construction

That just doesn't follow. More likely is that people building the homes (possibly on spec) are motivated by their bottom dollar, so only do what is mandatory (per your first point) or that people who own the homes simply _don't know about these mitigations_.

Blaming all behavior on a last-resort insurance fund misses a lot of steps between, and I don't think tracks to how people actually behave in the real world.

It's the combination of steering and forward momentum the gives the negative feedback. Bike tips left -> steering turns left -> circular path -> (from moving frame of reference) centrifugal force tips the bike back upright.

Without forward movement you miss the centrifugal force that tips the bike back up.
Well, you were technically wrong. Which is wrong. var wholeNumber = 3.0; - what type will be assumed for that value?
>> is highly speculative, is it not?

I'd say NOT.

Shutdown of a small company running out of funds is rarely fully orderly. Critical things may get taken care of, but everything is unlikely, as people have already left. Plus, with things like already-paid-in accounts, there's even an incentive to keep them open until the term expires, e.g., why not keep the prepaid ChatGPT API account live for execs and techs to use between jobs?

Just like wiping hard drives on EOL computers — everyone should do it every time, but people are always finding full HDDs and SSDs on eBay and Craigslist...
do they though?
As long as by “consulting” you mean actual strategic consulting and not “staff augmentation”
If you get hundreds of apps and you can't get a single qualified candidate, you either have a horribly inefficient recruiting system or your job needs are so specific that general job boards won't help you anyway. If you have years of inefficiencies happening without being addressed, at what point to we just call it fraud instead?

Or possibly you highly overestimate your job needs vs. The requirements posted. Which is endemic of the above reasons anyway.
Fair question, maybe I'm a bit too starry eyed. What do you think?
How do you ensure good contributors and good contributions?

Do you have a forum where you discuss prospective contributions etc?
Heck yeah, I'm all for building and designing communities to have good transit. I love it when I can get where I want to go without driving. Let's do it, teammate!

In the meantime, until that's done and everybody lives where they can easily take public transit from their home to where they want to go, we'll continue to be in the situation I described, and will have to compromise with our fellow humans who have different locomotion options and choices.

All people are equal, regardless of transportation, so this intersection seems like a fair compromise which doesn't preference one person over another.
Same here but for work O365!

I love BMWs and I'm on my 4th one now.

> EU manufacturers finally acknowledged the safety and usability of physical controls through research

BMW is NOT reverting back to more physical controls. arguably their 2016 to 2024 cockpits (depending on model), iDrive 7, were the best.

Everything afterwards is a ginormous screen with very few physical controls outside of iDrive. The AC controls are the big one for me.
