It's absolutely unfair. But the solution is to raise the rest of us up, not tear these people down. Why don't I have a retirement like that? Why don't you have a retirement like that? Those are the questions we should be asking. Not "He shouldn't make that much!" The people who earn literally 100X that pensioner are laughing at us as we fight each other

I love inside jokes. I hope to be a part of one someday.
I name the machines on my network with solar system names. Main machines, laptops and desktops, get a planet name. Lesser machine, like Raspberry Pis, etc, get the names of moons. Some people use the names of the seven dwarfs (Sneezy, Grumpy, etc). You can use any set of themed names you like, but it's less typing if the names are short.

To answer your question, my daily driver prompt is "r-w@earth".
That's what's fascinating. Given the capture of all three branches of government, they could presumably get all their wishes "above the board." Congress would willingly rubber-stamp shrinking the government to three nuclear missiles and the guy who polishes the exhibits at the Smithsonian, but actually enumerating what they want and waiting for it to wend through procedure was too slow.

Part of that might be that they know it's a smash-and-grab operation: the moment they started the cuts, the alarm was already ringing and it's only a matter of time before (Congress | the courts | Luigi Mangione | Several million annoyed pensioners) man up and interrupt the process. (exactly the nature of the interruption is clearly TBD).

When the dust clears, the fascinating thing to study will be the real priorities. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the collateral damage is a smoke screen around very specific grudges against specific people and agencies-- the financial equivalent of burning down the entirety of San Diego because your ex-wife lives there. There was the whole USAID/Starlink angle already, but surely other people got theirs.
Also the same jobs are advertised multiple times, with completely different wording, by multiple recruitment companies.
That is not semantics. It is fundamental economics.

My suggestion is this: Founders often underwhelm on paper, but knock it out of the park when in person. Network in your city with leadership of companies at any stage.

Example: Last month, I was just messing around with an idea, told my vision for it in 5 years to someone that works at a company that should do $400M revenue this year, $800M in 2 years. He had never met his CEO.... his CEO heard my thoughts and offered to FLY cross country out to meet me... someone who doesn't even work there.
Huh, thanks. Really good to know where Linus stands here. Seems to me like Linus is completely okay with introduction of Rust to the kernel and will not allow maintainers blocking its adoption.

Really good sign. Makes me hopeful about the future of this increasingly large kernel
I mean yes, but without knowing the maths then knowing how to optimize the maths is a bit useless?

At the very least you should know enough linear algebra that you understand scalar, vector and matrix operations against each of the others. You don't need to be able to derive back prop from first principles, but you should know what happens when you multiply a matrix by a vector and apply a non-linear function to the result.
> Will you find it to be different?

Yes.

Because when people who don't sell chicken nuggets have looked closely, they have found that to be the case.

Sorry mate, don't really remember why I didn't follow up. Just life I guess. Wouldn't have been the cell connection because every station is pretty hooked up these days and you really don't go that long without service.
Frigate is surprisingly not that cpu intensive with if you have Coral.

I got repurposed HP G2 SFF desktop with old i5-6500 cpu running proxmox with bunch of VMs and LXC containers including frigate.

I am passing both coral USB through to frigate container for object detection and passing intel's gpu through for video decoding.

With 10 cameras continuously recording, corals inference cpu usage is about 12%, frigate CPU usage is about 5%, although a service called go2rtc which is used by frigate to read the cameras streams and restream them to frigate takes up about 15% of the cpu.

Overall my cpu usage fluctuates below 30% on that entire machine devoted to more than proxmox.

I did run the watt calculation on that machine and it was something reasonable, dont recall it right now
The one common thread with elons companies and their success is that it strongly appears the more he is prevented from having direct control, the better they do. He has direct control of doge so it's going pretty poorly.
humans should come with a big UUID that is generated at a central database to keep out duplicate and then just a name without any last name for social connections. this would also solve discrimination on many levels. would be a nightmare for privacy and tracking but we are all being tracked anyway.
I think the different countries pushing Netflix to make local content has really paid off. Some real good stuff has come out. Like DARK from Germany. Casa de Papel from Spain (though they dragged it out too long). Squid Game from Korea. It's become a lot better since it isn't just Hollywood stuff.

Here in mainland Europe we're more open to content from all kinds of places. I think part of it is because we're used to not being able to understand every language. There's so many here we can never speak them all. Thus subs or dubbing are common things and don't ruin the immersion for us. In English speaking countries (even in Europe) those are often considered weird, alternative or "arthouse".
Thank you for posting this - really cool project. Also, thank you for sharing your splat experience and methodology.
I wholeheartedly disagree. The VAST majority of people are extremely greedy and will kill if necessary (when things get hard). It's only when things are good that people think people are fundamentally good. Trust me, if the power went out (permanently), it won't be many days before your wife says, ok, you can kill the neighbors and take their food storage. It might be 3 weeks - but in the end you will trust people so little that it will be extremely challenging to decide to come together as a community and grow food - which is the only way that it would work.
Bro don’t take it personally
I agree that having options is crucial, but we also need to consider how these options fit together to ensure system-wide safety by design. To actually mitigate screen-sharing risks, you need a combined hardware/OS and secure communication app where the “No Screen Sharing” feature can’t be turned off—and that setup has to be widely used for it to matter at scale.

Hardware/OS choice is the first step. Some platforms, like iOS, are already more sandboxed than, say, Android. I personally use iOS and feel comfortable trusting Apple’s approach, even though zero-day exploits remain a possibility. For my server needs, I use Linux and appreciate full control and root access—but that’s a separate use case.

App choice is the second step. Secure messengers like Signal prioritize privacy as a core feature, while many other messaging apps don’t. If a few high-profile apps enforced “No Screen Sharing,” the people who genuinely need or want to share their screen could always switch to a different app. So in practice, this feature wouldn’t prevent screen sharing entirely; it would just block it in contexts where security is paramount.

All of which is to say: optionality still exists—you can choose a less-restrictive OS or a different communication app. But for those who opt into a more locked-down environment, having a secure messenger that outright prevents screen sharing can make all the difference in avoiding accidental leaks or social engineering attacks.
I think younger investors know and understand that the market can fall, but this is still different than having lived through the market falling and how dramatic that can be.
Same here in Spain. You need to be with a multinational. Local companies pay shit.
Yeah... I'm getting few blips on my linkedin/email. Fortunate to have a job I enjoy, hoping I can ride the wave.
I'm looking to upgrade my home surveillance setup, currently running Arlo Pro 2 cameras. They work fine, but I'd prefer higher resolution and to avoid saturating my internet upstream with frequent video uploads.

My needs are pretty much the same as people who buy camera bundles from big box stores. I want reliable motion detection for intruders, deliveries, and visitors, and the ability to watch videos recorded in the past couple of weeks.
There's an implicit assumption here that if a colleague did figure out how to (e.g.) 10x their output with new tools, the employer would capture all (e.g.) 10x of that increased productivity.
Sorts it, right proper.
Humans are capable of having friends and fulfilling emotional needs without believing in the supernatural.

Like many people, you may have been indoctrinated into believing that only religion is capable of fulfilling these needs, providing community, a moral framework or a sense of purpose or value to life, but that isn't true, it's part of the propaganda of theism.
I don't imagine using them much either even if they were feasible to use (I have the extra trouble of being primarily in a community that's bridged to discord, but the bridge doesn't bridge threads), but I've seen them used meaningfully in other discords for tangential/off-topic discussions.

Companies have moved away from tech innovation driving growth. Instead they’ve realized they’re defending mature, boring business models. They need to keep the lights on with some good-enough engineers.

Just think how much the investor narrative has shifted from early 2020s. Back then everyone talked about the business areas they were expanding into using tech. Now, investors get hyped up when you do the same thing, at lower cost. Less about growth, more about predictability. Which makes sense. Do investors view Amazon as a high tech company (as in 2020 and before) or a predictable business? dare I say utility?

It explains layoffs, forced RTO, etc. They simply don’t care if even their best leave. Their MBA executives know optimization/keeping the lights on - and less about innovation.

> Even things like the automated customs gates work fine.

I would like to think (Perhaps naively?) that these systems key off your passport number/ID (which is by construction, not subject to these problems) to deliberately side-step issues like this.
And they make money. Zuck makes money because he can claim users. Facebook ad metrics (what they report as clicks) were always inflated to begin with and now its just ai slop.
> I feel like a freaking loser given my age and my relative career stagnation / my inability to actually turn my mildly above average skills into any real money.

It is okay to feel like that for a bit. But, this story that you are telling yourself is not going to help you if you keep on telling this. Whenever I have felt negatively about myself like that in the past, it has helped to stack some wins -- even if little ones -- to get out of the rut.

So, if you want to try to be an engineer, start building things using tools/tech that you are interested in and put them in the open source. Or better yet, help out some open source projects that you respect and have benefited from in the past, if you can. Hiring managers (and I have been one) look for real evidence of skills mentioned in the resume and a well-rounded Github repo increases the likelihood of a callback in any kind of market. Stack some little wins there.

OR, if you want to be a product person, do the equivalent of stacking some wins in that realm. I have very little experience in that space so maybe someone else here can identify a concrete thing or two that you could do to attract hiring managers in that line of work.
98% of Americans 65 and older are on Medicare and are overwhelming happy with it. This is true both for those on traditional Medicare and on Medicare Advantage.

For most of them having to switch to any of the existing ways that people under 65 can get health insurance would cost them significantly more and significantly reduce their coverage.

For those who are on traditional Medicare it would also mean going from being able to see nearly any non-HMO doctor (over 90% of non-HMO doctors accept Medicare) to going to managed care insurance where they have to deal with in network vs out of network and where the insurance company is practically looking over your doctor's shoulder and interfering in your care.

Messing significantly with Medicare would thus seriously piss off about 60 million people over the costs and reduced coverage that alternatives provide, and piss of the 28 million of those who are on traditional Medicare even more because of having to switch to managed care.

45% of those people have guns in their households. Most probably wouldn't resort to violence, but there are 27 million of them. That's enough that I'd be surprised if that doesn't leave thousands who would resort to violence.

Look at how many people seem to think the UHC CEO killing was justified, and this would be a lot more disgruntled people.
Literally the Pointy Haired Boss but somehow Scott Adams ended up on their side.
I'd guess that something somewhere has got its sanitization wrong. They tested it against

Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--

And see that it now provides

'Robert DROP TABLE Students'

Problem solved! And then later somebody else comes along, ignorant of the sanitization step, and provides

NULL

But the code strips special characters and adds quotes, so they've actually inserted:

'NULL'
Haha, no, it’s desirable because of geography and things to do. This is proven by the fact that large numbers of people are moving into expensive Mission Bay housing which has no single family homes by it.
Social groups serve those needs. I’ve seen no reason to think those groups must be centered on a mythology.
I got started from the books that were available here in the early 2000s. The one I like the most is "Programming Language Pragmatics" by Michael Scott, mainly for its simplicity. Then there is "Advanced Compiler Design and Implementation" by Steven Muchnick. I have Allen-Kennedy's book too, but I think it went over my head when I went through it. So I kept it aside.

"Engineering a Compiler" is quite approachable.

But, once you know the basics, you get the best bang-for-the-buck by looking at source code of various compilers and virtual machines.
VCs can only back ideas that are worth over a billion dollars. Everything below a billion dollars is small.

This creates two different types of companies. With VC-backed you'll have an abundance of cash, because that cash is buying you time, growth, etc. If cash is the problem, then do big ideas. A common strategy is to grow one vertical and ignore the others, while paying off the ignored verticals with cash. This is your YouTube without ads, your Android without an app store.

With smaller ideas, you'll be self-sustainable and resistant to enshittification because you're not buying (tech/product) debt with all that money. You can't actually build things that need multiple verticals, like Facebook or Google; you'd run out of money long before. And you often can't hire senior level talent.

The downside is the big idea will usually buy out all the small ideas. You built a PDF converter for a game and then Zynga offers you $10m cash for it. Is that really a downside?

Also one thing that's always overlook is distribution. How do you reach the market? Slack lost ground to MS Teams despite having the better product because MS dominates enterprise channels. Big ideas are able to dominate distribution and siege you no matter your moat.
Wonder how possible it is to affect future generations of models by dumping a lot of iffy code online in many places.
Linus's reply is perfect in tone and hopefully will settle this issue.

He is forceful in making his points, but respectful in the way he addressed Christoph's concerns.

This gives me great hope that the Linux maintainer community and contributers using Rust will be able to continue working together, find more common ground, and have more success.
The history of private fire departments is a solid lesson in the pitfalls of this perspective.
- Vimeo is niche, but still around (and not bad).

After a decade or so of experience, execution has become a lot easier, and it's good ideas that are rare.
I strongly disagree with your definition. A naive syntax-directed translation to bytecode or machine code is still compilation. Lots of production compilers do exactly that eg Wirthian compilers.
I’m struggling to wrap my head around abstraction as non-determinism here. Yes, an implementation could change, but then you’ve loaded other code?
This is correct. What I meant to say was that in due course, re-training on the fly will become a norm. Even without on the fly re-training we are looking at a small delta.
If you want a job, start interviewing and prepare yourself or interviews. If you didn't get the job, reflect on your gaps. Maybe you are unhireable (I doubt it), but you need to get data. Some places will dismiss having a ton of 1 year stints, but if you make it to the interview stage your resume matters less.
> is pretty straightforward to accept without fear of charge-backs or fraud

Well yeah, it's a great option for the seller. You get non-recourse cash before shipping the item. The real question is why people are willing to send it to you. From the other side, it's basically asking to be defrauded.
Local and State hire independently of Federal.
You're voluntarily in a thread about US politics. If this is your first such thread, reading it would have gotten you the background.

Also, the "I haven't seen" construction is quite dodgy on its own, as it has become common pattern of the neofascists to feign ignorance rather than acknowledge details.

If it was really an innocent independent one time question, you're certainly not the only one to have been harmed by this destruction.
The thing with purchasing power is that it doesn't apply to everything. In particular foreign goods.

So while low cost of living countries offset their low wages with cheaper housing, food and local services, imported stuff still costs the same and is relatively expensive as a result. Basically in those countries it really sucks to buy a computer, camera, even cars.

Nope, sure aren’t. Unless you want to buy a fully-trained dog, then sure.

If you plan to raise chickens, but also plan to buy a 5k dog, you probably aren’t mentally prepared for raising livestock.
I have to guess it's some kind of uber situation, where the core business is only possible (let alone profitable) at enormous scale. Free video hosting for everyone, accessible to everyone at any time, is a heavy lift that doesn't make sense without videos that people watch millions of times.
If the analogy is LLMs are today's equivalent of the web, I'm skeptical. Internet-based communication replaced technology like telephones and fax machines for synchronous and asynchronous telecommunication. People like and need to talk to other people. It was clearly valuable from day 1. What is the equivalent value proposition for LLMs? They make for really cool and splashy demos. But practical usage doesn't seem to keep pace with the hype. Why is it such a safe assumption that this is just like the invention of the Internet (or, as Sundar Pichai put it, the invention of fire)?

HR enthusiast entrepreneur here too. HR is a MASSIVE universe of fields such as Recruiting, Training, Policy & Procedures, Payroll, Staffing Needs Studies, Scheduling (future), Workforce Distribution (live scheduling), Workforce Management (KPIs from past performance), sometimes Roles & Permissions, not to mention being a system of record for critical business ops.

Yeah, let's just assume there are no safeguards in place at the IRS to protect personal data.
the new list just dropped, all the cartels are on it and listed as terror organizations

the US also has a history of ignoring sovereignty and saying the strikes weren't against the government, just the non-state terror organization

I also believe the US can coerce "consent" from a sovereign, if its more convenient to check that box

In Singapore given names can have more than one space and may not be a substring of the full name. The first prime minister has the full name "Harry Lee Kuan Yew" where Lee is his family name and "Harry Kuan Yew" is his given name. (Later in life he dropped "Harry" from his name.)
