> Not all solutions require monetary compensation. Employers often overlook what employees find rewarding. This is where a culture of curiosity becomes invaluable—simply asking employees what motivates and empowers them can reveal unexpected insights. Acts like acknowledging sacrifices, allowing flexibility for parenting emergencies, or offering an afternoon off after a rough day can build goodwill and strengthen the employer-employee relationship.

This reminds me of that recent SNL skit where Nate Bargatze plays George Washington and when Keenan Thompson asks him about the slaves, he changes the topic hastily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqfVE-fykk

What employees want is money. All that extra stuff is nice, in addition to more money for their work.
This article takes a journey from first principles: https://harishnarayanan.org/writing/artistic-style-transfer/
They should have made it something we wanted. Crazy thing is a year ago I wanted to pay for it but I had to have a business plan and pay annual instead of monthly. They really missed an opportunity there because I would have paid.

> Your argument is reductive because it requires the assumption that people only want one thing

No it doesn't. I explicitly mention that there is one thing they want to do the most and that other things are closer to or further away from that thing.

> Are you going to assign the employee that has said to you this is just transactional? What is his incentive to even do the maintenance.

I would assign the employee which I trust more, which could well be the transnational one. Someone who claims to enjoy their job might enjoy it because they don't bother with the stuff that bores them, and someone who hates their job might hate it because they put intense effort into ensuring it is done well. I have family members who fall exactly into the latter group. They are highly committed to the idea of earning their pay and thus have a much harder time of it than they would otherwise. Someone who thinks "I must work because I'm getting paid" is far more reliable than someone who thinks "I'll work because I enjoy it". Of course some people will try to get away with doing less work, but I don't see much difference between avoiding work you don't enjoy because you don't enjoy it and avoiding work you don't enjoy because you can still get paid without doing it.

The point I'd like to make is this: someone who works for pay has a clear motivation to do work they don't enjoy. Why would someone who works for enjoyment bother with the parts they don't enjoy? You skirt this problem by saying the employee wants to be there and so wants to do all work, but there are some people who enjoy certain parts of their work and not others. "Wanting to be there" is not a motivation for working but the outcome of that motivation, where "pay" and "enjoyment" are reasons to work and it's not so clear that someone who only works when they enjoy it would be more reliable.
As a systems I guy I completely agree with this. One of the things that was interesting about X11 is that it draws an API "wall" around the stuff involved in presentation. Many folks don't remember this but we had X "terminals" which was a computer system that did nothing else except render the screen and handle the input.

In that compartmentalization there was nothing else competing for attention. You didn't get USB bus contention because there was just the one mouse, ever, on the line between the user and the X11 server in the X terminal.
> One doesn't know why an employer or anyone else decides to fire, or not hire, someone unless the employer documents the reason

It won't be entirely effective. But it gives companies plausible deniability. I've been the one who voiced up because a sealed marital-dispute arrest came up in an archival background check. Having such a law would have meant doing so was unremarkable, a routine comment.
Exactly. Bankers are modern-day royalty. Banks are granted special, exclusive powers by the state to issue/counterfeit the nation's currency as loans. Banking executives are anointed by decree.

The idea of 'disrupting banks' is gaslighting because it pretends that they operate within a 'free market'.
In theory, Nix should be slightly better, but it has too many rough edged for now
Less latency matters little if it's just to wait behind some other operation like disk IO or network.
I could follow the part you have explained. Thanks still though.

>> But if I flip some specific bit in this instruction before jumping to it

Isn't the 'if' really happening in the above phrase? The rest of it is a modified jump address based on the above 'if' and just jumps to the modified address.

Now if I understand this correctly, how to do the above 'if', i.e., flip the address bit or not based on some condition?

May be it would begin from some bit read from IO which modifies an address. I saw that memory-mapped IO is used.

So where are all the people who apparently think that pets can't understand basic vocabulary? It's treated like some wild revelation when it comes up in articles like this, but anyone who's ever had a dog or cat knows what the reactions are like when words like "walk" or "bath" or "tuna" get mentioned. For particularly attentive dogs you can even end up with the euphemism treadmill from "walk" to "W-A-L-K" to substituting other phrases to keep them from realizing what you're talking about.
The _very_ first gen of Tesla cards did have those headers on them, IIRC, and then successive ones had the headers on the board but not connected for another generation or so, IIRC.

You also used to be able to edit the PCI IDs for the drivers to get the Tesla ones to attach to consumer GPUs, but that stopped working at some point.
My job doesn't have set hours. No amount of money can compensate for that flexibility.
This is similar to the problem with some of the things people have been doing with o1 and o3. I've seen people share "PhD level" results from them... but if I don't have a PhD myself in that subject it's almost impossible for me to evaluate their output and spot if it makes sense or not.

I get a ton of value out of LLMs as a programmer partly because I have 20+ years of programming experience, so it's trivial for me to spot when they are doing "good" work as opposed to making dumb mistakes.

I can't credibly evaluate their higher level output in other disciplines at all.

Lina Khan led the most antitrust-focused DoJ in a century, which went after Apple, Google, Nvidia, Realpage, airlines, and dozens of other companies.

MAGA give zero fucks about antitrust, and antitrust or lack thereof has nothing to do with the creation of MAGA. That's such an absurd argument I have no idea how to even respond to it. The cornerstone of MAGA has always been nativism & reactionary politics.

Their loss curve with the RL didn't level off much though, could be taken a lot further and scaled up to more parameters on the big nvidia mega clusters out there. And the architecture is heavily tuned to nvidia optimizations.

Technically you could piggy back on another protocol and obfuscate your comms. Like piggy backing in an envelope across https connections from server to server. Nobody is looking there.

Honestly thinking it again after re-reading the article. This feels like not being hungry at all but someone comes, opens your mouth against your will and pushes you a high calorie burger, fries and soda through your larynx. You are going to eat it, like it or not (just to put it politely).
unwise?
Basically no. Almost everybody uses SystemVerilog. The main issue is that all the simulators only support SystemVerilog so every other HDL is compile-to-SV, and often they output truly awful code that is a nightmare to debug.

Also SV has an absolutely enormous feature set, and often alternative HDLs miss out important parts like support for verification, coverage, formal verification, etc.

Getting away from SV is like getting away from JavaScript. The network effects are insane.

There was an attempt to make a kind of IR for RTL that would break the tie with SV (kind of like WASM has for JS)... I can't remember the name (LL..something?) but it seemed to have died.

Maybe this is similar I'm not sure: https://github.com/llvm/circt

Anyway the only really interesting new HDL I've seen is https://filamenthdl.com/
Wayland came out at the same time as the Windows compositor in Vista. Let's be generous and consider the next Windows version, 7, as having a "good/stable" compositor. So Wayland is 13 years behind Windows.
The "why is DeepSeek so much cheaper than o1" question is currently a mystery, with the best guess being that compute in China is cheaper.
> It made interacting with the file system slower, sometimes by orders of magnitude. Stuff like watching files, or statting a large number files, didn’t have the same performance characteristics.

Just as a FYI, This is only an issue running on Windows or Mac. They setup a vm behind the scenes to run docker on and the vm doesn't have direct access to the filesystem. On linux, it's just namespaces and it's native performance.
> If these are the upfront conditions, why is that an issue?

Because they might have both preferred 25 hours with flexibility to a forced choice between 40 inflexible hours or 10 flexible ones.

> uber's model doesn't seem to be profitable if they have to pay and employ with reasonable conditions.

Uber is an app. Their primary cost is paying drivers. They're not going to fail because you imposed this inflexibility on them. What's going to happen is they're going to have fewer drivers and provide less service. But "have fewer drivers" is those people losing their jobs, which isn't really helping them out.
Thank you for these details.

When I looked into doing it once on a modern system and stopped when window server entered the story. I’ve been hoping there might be a simple solution but that had me stumble upon Parallels RAS which I’ve been considering doing an evaluation of.

There are many bitcoin evangelists who think it will lead to freedom. The truth is that it will most likely lead to cbdc, that is why all banks, government and financial institutions are building blockchain technologies.
Well the US big tech models are strongly left-biased as was shown multiple times. It's almost certain an organization or government will try to push their worldview and narrative into the model.

That's why open source models are so important - and on this front DeepSeek wins hands down.
A better deterrence would be for Europe to actually stop buying fossil fuel from Russia (including indirectly via neutral countries) instead of goofing around with price caps or other marginally effective sanctions.
How are you so certain about the composition of 16 Psyche?
It's not as insane as it looks. They changed the definition of M2 in 2020, which means we expect to see a jump right then
however you just have to backtrack every once in a while because the information turned out to be false.

The problem is, how do you know? I've seen developers go completely off-course just from bad search engine results and one did admit he felt something wasn't right but kept going because he didn't know better; now imagine he's being told by a very confident but incorrect LLM, and you can see how hazardous that'll be.

I actually use nspawn for a few things.

Why would I want to transition to Docker or Podman?

Edit: "I’ve used systemd-nspawn fairly extensively to run things in containers. It’s a much simpler container system than Docker, and I do not find it objectionable."
> Why not direct our efforts into enabling more people to devote their lives to creating art instead of fewer? Wouldn't it be amazing if everyone was able to spend their time creating because the machines were doing the work we actually didn't want to do?

People are also doing that. Note you're not travelling thousands of miles on foot to tell me this message; nor are you and your family doing subsistence farming. And you probably have time to do art if you want, because of existing advances.

Yeah,

* remote work
* no specific expectations of hours (beyond, normally, "a full day's work")
* capable leadership that doesn't throw people under a bus
* work that is non-exploitative and provides real value in the world

Are worth more than top pay, to me.

Edit: *THAT SAID* in most industries that aren't tech, higher pay probably means a lot more than that because they're ridiculously underpaid, in general.
"Quiet quitting" as a phrase is just the latest bigcorp propaganda attempt to trick workers into doing more for free, now that previous attempts like "company loyalty" are dead and buried.
The article talks about having dogs talk back by pressing buttons for various words.
The kind of issues referenced in the article are not related to compositors being compositors though, but to bad implementations.

Gnome is big, but it's not the most popular DE out there, so it can't be treated even as a de-facto standard in the Wayland world. Some things might be treated that way, but they are lower level (let's say Pipewire, libinput etc.).

And regardless, it can't be used an example that blames Wayland for Gnome's issues, unless literally every single compositor has this problem and the real reason is Wayland's inherent limitations. There are such limitations in general indeed due to Wayland still evolving, but this isn't one of them.
Very cool. Is Tiger the minimum bound for the app itself, or just for the Intel Mac? I have 10.1 on a Wallstreet and can give it a shot if not.

Now the question is how can I, someone without a PhD in history but currently a PhD candidate in another discipline, use these tools to reliably interrogate topics of interest and produce at least a graduate level understanding of them?

The author self-reportedly has been using Linux for decades. After having taken the time to understand why something is the way it is for a hundred things or more, you eventually lose interest in doing so when the thing in question is a shitty experience, because knowing why doesn’t change its shittiness (pardon my French).
It’ll be a pyrrhic victory at best. They’ll take control of a devastated area of a poor country that was worse off than them in every economically relevant sense before the war. Any oil or gas they might get control of, Europe will be less interested in buying. Their military will be so degraded that they might face a series of rebellions in their border regions in the next decade — and will be unable to stop. Their loss of male manpower especially is a slow but sure death-blow to their economy over the next couple of decades.

Even if they rolled through Kiev with tanks tomorrow, the future for the typical Russian looks bleak.

(My prediction is that just like other countries with bad demographics, Russia will require mass-immigration in the near future to avoid collapse. This will dilute their national identity, weaken central control, cause internal strife, etc… Also, if you’re a poor Asian worker looking for a country to move to, would you rather choose South Korea or rural Russia?)

> There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to the public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute or common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.

If you maintain a $1000 average bank balance (which is at the higher end of ‘paycheck to paycheck’) then 5% interest is $50/year. It’s worth having, but people aren’t going to put time and effort into getting it when they have bigger problems to worry about.
