>"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

That quote is from Ronald Wright. It appears to be a paraphrase from this Steinbeck quote. In the actual quote you can see Steinbeck is not trying to criticize the poor, but rather champagne socialists:

>...Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: 'After the revolution even we will have more, won't we, dear?' Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property.
I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew — at least they claimed to be Communists — couldn't have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.

> It seems like suddenly half the internet forgot about the term "user-agent", which up until recently was almost always our browsers, but sometimes feed readers, which was acceptable it seems.

Was it really "suddenly"? it seems like for the past decade there has been an ongoing push to make everyone use "chromium" based browsers. I remember 10-15 years ago you would get blocked for not using IE or whatever, even though the site worked fine and there was no technical reason for the block.

It was over 12 years ago when google effectively killed RSS to prevent alternative methods of access.

An Engineer's Love Letter to Cable-Stayed Bridges
The Intercept wasn't even good at journalism in the days of the Snowden leaks.

I read the article (the paywall is javascript). I want to have satisaction from the anxiety of the current admin, and I know that bad things are happening, but I just can't trust this org or anyone in their network. My biggest takeaway is that Trump admin is maybe planning illegal mass deportations, but I already knew that before reading the article.
I liken this to the experience of playing an old school fighting game in the era before the internet. You would be mashing buttons when suddenly your character would do a power move. Then spend the rest of the day trying to figure out how to reproduce it.

If you could reproduce it, it would usually be intermittent. Eventually you would learn “when I X then my character will Y, but only sometimes.

This is due to the real command being a subset or being a slight variation of what you thought was correct that you accidentally do sometimes.

Even when it’s ephemeral and seemingly random I still find these things valuable. It’s better to be able to reproduce it sometime instead of never. Answering the question “is doing this better than random?” (P95) can help you throw away a bad hypothesis. Most people don’t realize that when they are providing evidence for causality they are competing with random. If they had instead done jumping jacks or said a prayer to the engine gods X times, then the correlation between the wires and the engine might suddenly seem much weaker.

Once you have one hypothesis you can test it against others and I believe that’s powerful. Provided it’s done systemically and with at least a mild understanding of probability and error. Also a hypothesis without a theory first scientific. Why did your friend wrap the wires to begin with?

It’s okay to act in random until we find some effect, but then we also need to take the time to roll back (as you did) to ask “WHY did this happen?” In which case you can begin the process with a fresh hypothesis.

I feel when we are taught the scientific method in elementary school it doesn’t stick for most of us, even engineers. Especially non-engineer folks. It seems at first blush like some truisms strung together, but that simplicity hides very powerful capabilities and subtle edge cases.

I remember fondly my first brush with SuSE around 2005, and I was blown away how polished and professional it was. I was a Red Hat user then and later moved on to Ubuntu so I found the YaST based bit foreign to my taste. Those were the days of wild distro-hopping.

Yeah, this is a moronic take. I'm all in on AI programming, but when you need debugging, you really need it - sometimes the model will get utterly fixated on a solution that is just wrong, and you just need to follow the stack trace.

As far as I'm concerned, "medical debt" is effectively extortion.

so if we have a scenario where we have data points where when X ball moves white ball also moves, but we’re missing some direct evidence where they actually hit each other or not. But they correlate from the limited sample. I think this is what most correlations are like, we do not see the direct atoms causing the causation, only a probability

I don't think this is unique to AI. There are categories of knowledge that are infested with bad practices (webdev, enterprise software), and even a direct web search will lead you to those results. AI definitely regurgitates many of these bad practices, I've seen it, but it's not obvious to everyone.

I think it's unrealistic to expect a general purpose LLM would be an practical expert in a new field where there are potentially 0 human practical experts.

The flipside of labeling people let go as "poor performers" is that you make the people still on board look like "high performers" by contrast. This increases the social value of being an active Meta employee. In that way, you could see it as "brand building". Because they will pitch themselves as employing only "the best of the best" and this reputation can be used to recruit people who want to take the gamble of potentially benefitting from that.

By damaging the reputation of the people they lay off in order to improve their own reputation, it's almost a form of reputational theft. It's unethical but I can see why they are doing it.

If you take a job at Meta, try to understand that the company can and will screw you if it benefits them so be prepared to do the same in turn. Never forget that Meta is not a great company in the sense that it is technically excellent. What I mean by that is that their technical excellence is not a product of their culture but a necessity of operating at scale.

What makes Meta great is that it's one of the most ruthlessly managed companies in its class. It knows how to thrive in legal and ethical gray areas. This is the primary thing that its culture selects for and as a result it is a master at that art.

So use them like they use you and don't fall for their non-sense about being mission driven or making the world more open and connected. It's a fleet of pirate ships. Nothing more.

A flight plan doesn't have much to do with permission to fly somewhere. It's more about ATC not being surprised if an aircraft shows up in a given airspace, and search & rescue noticing if an aircraft doesn't show up at its planned destination.

Compared to curation by other humans. Be it music labels, magazines, radio DJs, or a person sharing their playlist or giving you a mixtape.

In this model, tastes never overlap perfectly, so you're exposed to unfamiliar music fairly regularly, often in some emotional context that makes you more likely to accept something new.

Algorithms don't really do that. They could, but no one is designing them that way. If I listen predominantly to female vocalists on Spotify for a week, I'm only getting female vocalists from now on.

- What's the growth curve look like, and the cost to acquire new customers?

- I'd worry about getting stuck working on things that hit local maximums. Will it hit $10k? That's still less than a reasonable dev job where you probably don't have to work as hard. The current amount is akin to minimum wage I think.

- Can you make it passive/part-time? In case it doesn't scale the way you envision.

I think everyone here could be confused, here's my understanding. There were three people in the helicopter that night, two pilots and one crew member. They usually fly with two crew members for a total of 4 people in the helicopter. The two crew members usually sit one on each side of the helicopter, with the task of looking out the windows to enhance situational awareness.

The minimum crew is 3, two pilots and one crew member. While not ideal, this is a regular occurrence for operational reasons, so it's part of regular training.

In other situations the normal vertical separation is 1000ft. In this situation ATC was depending on the visual conditions for the pilots to "see and avoid", but it's especially nuts if you factor in wind shear and wake turbulence that can change an altitude by 100ft in seconds.
For me the line is the human being who takes that work and submits it anywhere without review/adjustments when necessary. The human should be the gatekeeper. And if they start rubber stamping without reviewing, fire them. QC is a job that’s been with us forever, it needs to be applied more liberally when AI is involved.

A disappointingly high number of people think "DEI" means "choosing unqualified women/PoC over qualified white men".

The reality is that DEI is a campaign to get people aware of implicit bias. It's been proven time and time again that resumes with a name like "Shaniqua" are more likely to be rejected over one with a "John" even when all the qualifications are the same.

But now, of course, with the current political climate, if you're a woman or PoC, you have to be a perfect worker. If you make any kind of mistake, you'll be accused of being a DEI hire.

Thanks for the additional detail, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)

> Programs for Android are commonly written in Java and compiled to bytecode for the Java Virtual Machine, which is then translated to Dalvik bytecode.. The successor of Dalvik is Android Runtime (ART), which uses the same bytecode and .dex files (but not .odex files), with the succession aiming at performance improvements.
The reason the maintainers can drop support for hardware nobody uses is that dropping support won't harm end users. The same cannot be expected of Rust in the kernel. The Rust For Linux folks, like most sensible programmers, intend to have impact. They are aiming to create abstractions and drivers that will deliver the benefits of Rust to users widely, eliminating classes memory errors, data races, and logic bugs. Rust will not be limited to largely disposable parts of Linux. Once it reaches even a small degree of inclusion it will be hard to remove without affecting end users substantially.
This is the fault of the regulators. There’s no reason that new discoveries are not put in a queue to train a new AI and when there are enough to make it worth the run, you do the run and then you give the doctors old model and new model and they run both and compare the results.

At least that has been my experience in Golang at work.
