The politicians and policy makers have failed in their job to come up with a well developed policy addressing various impact of new technology , partly because they do not understand it and do not have the expertise to solve it. They however have been successful in covering their ineptitude by diverting the general public’s attention and putting the tech companies in the defendants chair in the public court and this shifting the blame from the government to the tech companies. And then they of course get profited from lobbyist efforts and the huge spend behind them. It all works to the politicians benefits and they can shrink from their responsibility of coming up with same legislation and finish the endless debate , which frankly is getting tiring.

He gave up on Silicon Valley many years ago too and predicted it’s impending doom. It is still there isn’t it Peter?

He is anti immigrant and that’s why he is out of SV.

TFA is written by someone who just discovered few days back about IAM roles (see his old blogs) :eye roll:

Why is someone pushing TFA again and again in HN?

That is a solved issue . It is the standard way of command line syntax and provides a common way of parsing command line for many OS. You can certainly do things “another” way but all it will do is break decades worth of work for standardization and good old fashioned common sense. Make things modular so you can expand in different ways.

The author is not completely correct , in big tech project managers are assigned to manage projects , depending on complexity and collaboration needs.

China seems to be hell bent on exiting the global speculative markets. Can the stock markets absorb this shock?

Your assumptions are incorrect specially after you spend couple of decades doing software development.

That’s the greatness of Bhargava’s Gita and Hinduism. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion and questions. As did Arjuna who pestered Krishna with continuous questions in Bhargava’s Gita. Hinduism , more specifically Santayana Dharma is not based on commandments , it is based on questions and answers.

I think this continuous pressure of career progression is a managerial bullshit , that unwise managers (most are) apply to everyone without any thinking. This ends up unnecessarily hurting people who are otherwise perfectly good employees but just not interested in progressing in their career and ends up demoralizing them. People gotta understand that a job is just a job and the contract between employee and employer mandates certain compensation for certain hours of work or certain goals but not necessarily compensated for working towards a promotion.

This is a really old article

Solution in search of a problem. Let’s stop this nonsense.

From the article:

“The US too has adopted wind-catcher-inspired designs with enthusiasm. One such example is the visitor center at Zion National Park in southern Utah.“

It is just a small one storied house built in the 70s. I don’t think or see any modern day buildings having wind catchers built into them. Almost all of them have central AC and duct system. I therefore think the authors comment is a bit exaggerated as far as enthusiasm for such environmental friendly solutions in USA are concerned.

That started when politicians shifted their responsibilities of governance and policy making to private entities to cover for their inefficiencies and their vote bank politics.

From personal experience I have seen quite young fit and healthy person die of COVID. If you saw it first hand , you would know how quickly and dangerously this virus takes over . Having a vaccine with even a 50 percent chance is a no brainer to prevent the devastating damage this virus can cause in a very short time. And so is wearing masks.

Exactly .

This +20. Screw the managers they always held back progress.

Memo to Bezos/Brandon/Musk:

Great , but now can you guys do something about reducing human suffering due to climate change? Like potentially developing technologies for sucking off CO2 and other harmful gases off our atmosphere? Or how about cancer cure or anti aging or something that helps humanity?

However the fact that it is trained with 6B parameters compared to GPT-3’s 175B parameters indicate open source GPT still has a lot to catch on. GodSpeed and full speed !!!

Ye we support raising taxes on the overlords…. Let’s vote on that.

Now these kids will be bullied for ever and called robokid all their life !! Let’s simply do things the way they were :D

Yep sad that we cannot think of anything better to do ….

Ask HN: given that school education in USA is so complicated is there a guide that the good folks here can suggest for kids and parents on how to successfully navigate the education system in USA?

Specially when if you do business from home you can charge certain expenses to business and get tax deduction. WFH should certainly allow some similar tax benefits.

AND utilities … my electricity and water bill has shot up.

With all due respect , Only people who have not seen how quickly a COVID case can turn dangerous , can be worried about the risks of COVID vaccine. Please take your COVID vaccines.

For whatever reason HN seems to have a rather unhealthy obsession with Amazon that is evident in somewhat regular articles about Amazon’s dominance in the online retail space. Frankly it gets a little tiring after sometime , specially when walmart.com exists and these posts smells like some underhanded SEO type activities. Anyway hopefully HN moderators will take care of this before it becomes a tool in the hand of SEO agencies paid for by other companies.
