The whole market was propped up by AI stocks though. So realistically you'd have to move out of the markets to avoid exposure.

It's a bit hard to short private companies, of which most AI companies have chosen to remain, to avoid scrutiny from shareholders.

I always compare it to the age of the industrial revolution. I have no doubt you had stubborn old people saying: "Why would I need a machine to do what I can do just fine by hand??" Those people quickly found themselves at a disadvantage to those who choose not to fight change, but to embrace it and harness technological leaps to improve their productivity and output.

We have run 8,000 VMs on ~120 servers

I think it's harder to quantify realistic work outputs in some settings, especially if work outputs have been skewed in recent years by people cooking the clock. In others I think they have observed a drop in work output. With the formerly very loose labor market I don't think there was much they could do about it before, but now they see RTO as an option to rein it in. I think if both sides of the equation more consistently approached things in a reasonable manner then both sides would be better off.

I think it's more the few bad apples that spoil the bunch.

Have you heard of over-employment? There are people working 2-3 full-time jobs, pulling over $500k, while actually putting in only a few hours worth of work each week.

There are a ton more that are working one job, but likewise giving very little output. It's harder to catch those folks in the act when they don't physically have to be present in the office.

While in office can be less productive in a fair amount of aspects it can also be more so in others. It isn't always some sinister plan from above.

Labor costs have risen greatly post-lockdowns, so companies expect to see a return on their money, more so in a rapidly tightening labor market.

Fairly sure the way it will identify speed limits is based on the last sign the cameras have identified. I had a rental car that showed the speed limits in this manner and it was pretty nifty. "Low tech" yet high tech.

What's the point of not enjoying the fruits of your success now if you cannot leave this Earth with the wealth you accumulated?

What?

I'd rather make less money if it means more time off, as I can't really enjoy my money if I haven't time to go places worthy of spending it at. The kink in that plan is having a family that expects a certain lifestyle, while still saving away for an early retirement (that could maybe never arrive?), necessitating a higher paying job, but without as much vacation. Europe does it right, with 20 days PTO being the minimum.

Being raised by a single mom, who tried to stay ahead of eviction, constantly had the power shut off, and often had bare shelves in the pantry, can 100% do a number on your psyche. You never feel far away from ending up back in that situation, short of being wildly successful financially.

I'm not a huge audiophile, but everyone I saw commenting on Reddit said that Plex works amazing on the Shield, with the various audio on their files. I think the primary audio feature they sought was Atmos.

A lot of folks are choosing to buy Hisense dumb TVs and pair them with either an Nvidia Shield or Apple TV 4K

Not a developer but reading the changelogs and commit history from this person seem interesting, as they appear to be some effort consolidate control and push things in the direction of supporting wider dissemination of their backdoor code:

Discussing commits that the other author has since reverted, IFUNC change with Project Zero tests, a focus on embedded, etc.:

A big one, not touched on as much, was cost. The public lost the appetite to fund such outrageously expensive missions. The commercial program is helping lower those costs through novel approaches.

Watch a series called American Dynasty. Many of the most successful people in history because so, in part, because a stroke of luck. They had many setbacks before they caught their break, but it was ultimately luck that allowed their venture to take flight. Had they given up sooner we likely would have never known who they were.

Life hack: go to the box office to buy your tickets. Now suddenly they're half off.

This whole thread is oof. Modern politics, to include both sides of the spectrum, has devolved rapidly. It feels like a real-life version of the Spiderman meme.

I don't think there's any case in which I see it pull back anywhere remotely close to 40%, short of societal collapse. Way too many factors that keep demand high and supply low.

Wife was taking Wegovy. In the same class but specifically meant for weight-loss. She felt sick most the time on it, but it does work.

If only that were the case. $800/mo, with coupon, because insurance says no.

OpenStack's got Magnum for that need.

The framework for deployment has vastly improved.

So much so that even Microsoft support reps are using the pirating tools

Didn't get much notice from my post of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38961910

The POC is quite trivial for it:

It was severe enough that paid customers got a heads up to be ready to patch.

Blog post appears to be working now: https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2024/01/11/critical-securi...

The blog post appears to be down, so linking the diff. This is one you want to patch ASAP.

I could see that. They are consistently ranked as enjoying among the happiest of lifestyles.

I do believe Switzerland has the highest everything

Don't have kids if you don't feel over the top about having them, make sure the person you choose to have them with is the right one, and make sure you fully understand all that is involved in having kids.
