01:28 MinceR; microsoft hires elon musk to oversee layoffs, algorithm decides to fire poettering
01:30 schestowitz[TR]; MICROSOFT is going through some truly tough times. There are layoffs every week, the company is unable to hide it by compelling staff to sign NDAs (the press finds out eventually), and tens of thousands of puff pieces about a chaffbot cannot distract the public entirely... from the real crisis.
01:30 schestowitz[TR]; MinceR: ah
01:31 MinceR; techrights switches to using chatgupta to write all articles
01:31 MinceR; accessed via MICROS~1 edge running on Backdoors 11, because it's the most modern OS around!
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; Microsoft has just announced, in its Friday shareholders meeting, that it has convinced Elon Musk to join Microsoft's Board of Directors and spend some time carrying out duties at Microsoft, at least at part-time capacity, focusing on "AI".
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; "Musk has demonstrated solid track record running companies that suffer deep losses, not only comvincing a lot of staff to leave voluntarily but also laying off a significant proportion without paying severance.
01:34 schestowitz[TR]; An anonymous source told us that OpenAI has unveiled a new algorithm for HR. As a result, the first person to go is Lennart Poettering, who quietly defected from IBM to Microsoft only months ago. Poettering insists that it was not a defection, it was just a matter of wearing the correct badge after more than a decade of work, which some deemed sabotage.
01:35 MinceR; lol, nice
01:35 MinceR; comvincing -> convincing
01:35 schestowitz[TR]; thanks, still working on it

01:42 schestowitz[TR]; IBM has meanwhile signalled that it is willing to rehire Mr. Poettering, but discussions are still ongoing about the IBM/Microsoft merged, which dated back to 2011. The discussions are already more than a decade old and Bill Gates is losing interest in them.

08:07 psydruid; no
08:07 psydruid; I'm not stuck in that mindset of having to work with what's out there
08:07 t0talist; bootstrapping of toolchain and kernel, that's an unresolved issue, for 20years now, at least... and it's getting worse each year
08:08 t0talist; without clean bootstrapping, there isn't any "free software", simple as that
08:08 t0talist; and down at the hardware realm, it's even worse...
08:08 t0talist; good luck, deploying any verilog or similar, onto fpga, without any m$ wintel cancer software
08:08 t0talist; chances are, you can't
08:09 t0talist; and even if you moved onto some GNU system, that's not free either, simply because, there's no clean bootstrapping for it, without m$ wintel cancer
08:10 t0talist; anyway, i'm just in bad mood
08:11 t0talist; because, without any GNU fuckery, it's just impossible to compile/link a linux-kernel-branch AoT which was stabilized 20years ago
08:12 t0talist; they could dump the sources into an obfuscator, it's not much worse than the "free software" stack, which is mostly binary-executable junk
08:12 t0talist; impossible to audit
08:15 t0talist; and it is interesting, tccboot itself, notes CC=gcc inside it's makefiles, instead of CC=tcc... ironic
08:15 t0talist; i mean, i could try to hack on tccboot loader and see if this fixes the address mappings and translations, for linux-kernel
08:15 t0talist; and, even if, it's just awful, almost impossible to debug
08:16 t0talist; got that? "free software" itself, can't bootstrap, with free-software/hardware
08:16 t0talist; it's vendor-locked proprietary malice
08:17 t0talist; RISC-V? of cause, it's interesting, but it doesn't solve the problem of clean-bootstrapping, of direct and transitive dependencies
08:18 t0talist; in the end, you'll just download some other compiler.bin.exe, or asm.bin.exe from some place...
08:18 t0talist; and there's no way around assembler bootstrapping, to review this
08:19 t0talist; in the end, this is what bootstrappable.org arrived at, a tiniest 1KiB.hex.bin, which required a gigabyte of llvm-compiler-assembler.exe to emit this for x86_64
08:19 t0talist; that's my limited understanding of it
08:20 t0talist; down to opcode-level... oho

13:22 immibis; schestowitz[TR]: I find that recommendation algorithms are useful unless you are following everything you could possibly be interested in
13:23 immibis; it is disappointing that the fediverse does not have one
13:23 schestowitz[TR]; no
13:23 schestowitz[TR]; it gives people power overe you
13:23 schestowitz[TR]; middlemen
13:23 immibis; the timeline of your local instance acts as one, if you are using an instance that matches your interests
13:23 schestowitz[TR]; like saudi dictators
13:23 schestowitz[TR]; the owners of twitter
13:23 schestowitz[TR]; and we already have behind-the-scenes caustionary tales
13:23 schestowitz[TR]; they use that for social engineerting
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; those algos are dangerous
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; they place you under the thumb of very nefarious entities
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; and you may not realise iot
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; it's one of the worst aspects of tiktok
13:24 immibis; this IRC channel is a recommendation algorithm
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; and yet nobody talks about this in the media
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; no, irc is not
13:24 immibis; techrights is a recommendation algorithm
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; irc has many networks
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; like in fedivers,e except it is disjoint
13:24 immibis; yes it is, it recommends things for me to look at that I am not directly following
13:24 schestowitz[TR]; the networks do not federate, bridges aside
13:25 schestowitz[TR]; techrights is a standalone site

17:20 DaemonFC; I think the reason my bank is offering me such good terms on short-term (11 month) CDs is to discourage deposit outflows.
17:21 DaemonFC; It locks in a decent rate for 11 months and they're hoping things settle. In the mean time, they need to make sure depositors don't put a run on the bank.
17:24 DaemonFC; They have to compete with what people can get by yanking their deposits and putting them in short term government bonds.
17:27 DaemonFC; mjg59_, How do you feel about all of these California tech companies that broke Illinois law and now they're finding out that they are on the hook for millions in damages?
17:27 DaemonFC; Fakebook tried to remove it to a court in California to be thrown out and lost and paid out a fuckton of money and now the rest of them in line are just settling.
17:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], By my count, Fakebook and about half a dozen other companies that were broadly collecting biometrics have stopped or significantly scaled back after losing BIPA lawsuits.
17:29 DaemonFC; I was monitoring the Lemonade SEC stuff from after I sued them.
17:29 DaemonFC; They've told investors that they're scuttling the "collecting facial recognition to enhance anti-fraud AI".
17:30 DaemonFC; It's terrific that people like JWZ and mjg59_ defame and belittle me, because you know, they work for these companies that are part of the problems.
17:30 DaemonFC; Like taking jobs away from people and producing spyware.
17:30 DaemonFC; And I'm part of the group suing to put a limit on what they can do, at least here.
17:31 DaemonFC; I'm just going to have to start stamping corporate logos on the wall like a fighter pilot stamping swastikas for downed Nazi planes or something. :P
17:34 DaemonFC; They said they would let me know if they needed me to testify against Lemonade.
17:35 DaemonFC; But the case settled out way before that when Lemonade realized it would cost about $5 million to just throw the case or potentially $100 million in damages to go to court and lose.
17:36 DaemonFC; It takes a lot of effort to go to court and win because you have to gather a jury and have all of these proceedings. So you may be able to get $5,000 in damages from Lemonade if you do but attorneys fees would go up and there's always the chance the jury would disagree.
17:37 DaemonFC; The biggest piece of evidence against Lemonade was their description of their business in EDGAR (the SEC's program) and an admission of guilt on Twitter.
17:37 DaemonFC; Which they argued wasn't a guilty statement, but it probably was.
17:38 DaemonFC; One of their executives boasted about their proprietary business model spying on people and collecting their facial expressions during the claims process.

17:40 DaemonFC; MinceR, Suing tech companies in California is a nice side hustle, it turns out.
17:40 DaemonFC; It's usually worth about $1,000-$1,600 a year in additional income.
17:40 MinceR; :)
17:41 DaemonFC; I explained to the IRS last year on an attached sheet explaining the additional income by court case, docket number, and amount from each settlement.
17:41 DaemonFC; That was really most of the "work".
17:41 DaemonFC; They don't normally send you a 1099 for the income unless it goes over $600, but you still have a duty to report it on that line and pay tax on it.
17:41 DaemonFC; So I do.
17:42 DaemonFC; Reporting income where there was no 1099 generally includes every sort of income you could possibly have.
17:43 DaemonFC; So technically if you pick up a $1 bill on the street, you're supposed to include it on that Schedule and attach an explainer. "Found $1 on sidewalk. August 1, 2022." or something.

17:44 DaemonFC; MinceR, So there was a person on Reddit that was complaining that their landlord wanted their tenants to put the rent money on PayPal under Friends and Family so he wouldn't have to pay taxes on it.
17:44 MinceR; :)
17:45 DaemonFC; I told them to just go ahead and do that, but to fill out a "Suspicious Activity Report" for "Unpaid Taxes" and attach a photocopy of the letter from the landlord and mail it to the Treasury.
17:45 DaemonFC; Land him with a nice big fat tax audit.
17:45 DaemonFC; Once they find all your dirty laundry from one year, they usually go back and check the 5 years before that too!
17:46 DaemonFC; Then they decide how much you underreported, if it was a "substantial amount" which can trigger fines and criminal charges, and add interest, and send you the bill.
17:47 DaemonFC; Like the IRS understands there's a difference between forgetting to attach a 1099 that says you owed them $50 that year and trying to hide $20,000 somewhere. Which is what it sounds like this landlord is doing.

18:00 DaemonFC; Well, what you get with mjg59_ and his employer are bigger losses every year.
18:00 DaemonFC; They may take in more money, but the loss multiple stays roughly the same or gets worse.
18:01 DaemonFC; MinceR, "We'll just lose ten times as much next year and go to a bank that was springing rapists and murderers from jail because of DIE when we need more!"
18:02 DaemonFC; The whole scheme with companies like this is to see how long you can technically remain in business with the "important people" continuing to pull down a salary.
18:02 DaemonFC; When things get bad, you lay people off, but continue bleeding because nothing fundamental has changed except that there's less people working there.
18:03 DaemonFC; But you may have bought yourself time to extract more paychecks.
18:04 DaemonFC; MinceR, I started joking when Firefox, long time ago, started popping open a box about licenses, and it opened a page called about:rights

19:15 DaemonFC; The backlog just keeps getting longer. Originally the extension letters were for 12 months, now they're 48 months.

20:59 DaemonFC; <immibis> what's the point of them giving you a CD if you can break it without penalty
21:00 DaemonFC; They do. It's a No Penalty CD.
21:00 DaemonFC; You can cash it out whenever you want, as long as you wait 6 days.
21:00 DaemonFC; The rate's not that much different than it is on a normal CD with early withdrawal penalties.
21:01 DaemonFC; Essentially, it's as liquid as a Savings Account, almost, except that you can earn about 4.75% on the No Penalty CD for 11 months and take it out any time you want and lose nothing/
21:01 DaemonFC; The Savings Accounts only pay 3.75%.
21:02 DaemonFC; I talked to the man from the bank before I set them up and he told me you only have to wait 6 days to break it, and you keep all of the money and accrued interest if you do break it.
21:02 DaemonFC; But you can't add or withdraw partial amounts. Has to be the original deposit amount for the life of the CD, and if you take it you have to take it all.
21:03 DaemonFC; So I have most of our Savings in No Penalty CDs now because why not?
21:03 DaemonFC; It's only slightly less flexible than the Savings Account.
21:04 DaemonFC; But they have to pay me the higher rate, locked in for 11 months, or until I choose to break it with no penalty.
21:04 DaemonFC; If I break it, it'll either be because something awful happened and I need the money or because there's a higher rate than 4.75% on a No Penalty CD, so I break these and buy new ones.
21:06 DaemonFC; So it's pretty much like any other CD except that for a marginally lower rate of interest than a 12 month CD (which has 5%) I have options.
21:11 DaemonFC; Breakable CDs are sort of like the best of both worlds. You get higher interest rates than Savings, and you get to lock those rates in, but you can also break them if the interest rates on a fresh CD get higher, and there's no punishment for it.

21:17 DaemonFC; They're no risk, they're insured by the FDIC.
21:17 DaemonFC; And you know, you're not really getting any extra benefit from Treasuries.
21:18 DaemonFC; I mean, yeah if your state taxes income then you save on whatever that rate is with Treasuries, but it's a very small benefit.
21:18 DaemonFC; And Treasuries don't typically let you cash them in early.
21:19 DaemonFC; If you live in a state where your income tax rate is like whoa, you might consider Treasuries because the relative advantage is bigger.
21:19 DaemonFC; Every state that adopts a Progressive Income Tax later has a top tax bracket that's 2-3 times what the flat rate was, and the bottom rate is almost always higher than the flat rate was.

21:20 DaemonFC; Allowing Progressive Income Taxes basically makes it easier for the state to soak everyone.
21:20 DaemonFC; It's not that Illinois doesn't tax us enough. We're the 7th highest taxed state in America.
21:21 DaemonFC; It's that they throw it away on corruption and enormous pensions that are underfunded anyway.
21:21 DaemonFC; And we have nothing to show for the tax burden.
21:21 DaemonFC; New York is like the worst state for tax I think.
21:21 DaemonFC; It's like 12.5% of your income going to the state somehow.

21:23 DaemonFC; So then you get to pay the state on top of that.
21:23 DaemonFC; California is basically the best example of how not to run a state.

23:39 schestowitz[TR]; aand maybe practice for exams years down the line
23:39 schestowitz[TR]; to secure citizenship
23:39 schestowitz[TR]; those "apps" are mind fryers
23:40 schestowitz[TR]; the exams are not too hard

23:47 psydruid; doesn't Microsoft hire people so they won't go to work at competitors?
23:47 schestowitz[TR]; yes
23:47 schestowitz[TR]; i wanmted to say this
23:47 schestowitz[TR]; 2 days ago
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; but not just microsoft
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; it seems like a cross-sector strategy
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; akin to oil companies hiring activists
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; so that they won't be out there blasting them
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; but it's an expensive startegy
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; barely sustainable
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; it's Hubris
23:48 psydruid; in that case the layoffs may not be that bad from their perspective, as they wasted those people's time and careers for a paycheck
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; not even for 40 eyars
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; barely 4
23:48 psydruid; but time is something you'll never get back
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; look at graveley
23:48 schestowitz[TR]; boasted his salary
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; got it for maybe 2 years
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; pretended to be a multi-millionaire
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; (he faked it)
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; also much wasted on drugs
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; and bad "innvestment:'
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; "crypto"
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; i will resume this series one day
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; we have plenty of unpublished material
23:49 schestowitz[TR]; but seeing github now had 2 rounds of layoffs in 2 months
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; the latest in india
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; allmost all github canned
23:50 psydruid; it will be published when the time is right
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; i think we need anothwer strategy on github
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; also, graveley got fired
23:50 psydruid; it's also a lesson for india
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; i staarted this series in 2021
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; then friedman was out
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; then de icaza
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; then graveley, or maybe not in that order
23:50 schestowitz[TR]; he lies in court papers
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; btw, the case is still ongoing
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; psydruid: the mythology goes:
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; microsoft fires only in expensive countries
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; then hires in india
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; or imports labour from india
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; but it's not that simple
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; in github, the layoffs hit india hard
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; not indians
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; but india
23:51 schestowitz[TR]; despite low wages
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; many in the us, on visas, may work 80++ hours a week
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; no family, nothing..
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; .and at the end get laid off despite "perfromance"
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; lessons of life
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; _desported_)
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; after 3 months
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; "show yourself out"
23:52 schestowitz[TR]; "or we kick you"
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; i have a ppost coming
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; after dthe nbext btch of daily links
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; "Microsoft Layoffs in the Buzzwords Department
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; "
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; oooof. many typos
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; i have added monitoring windows for msft layoffs
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; every 30 minutes
23:53 schestowitz[TR]; in caase there is a rumour or scoop
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; gonna shuffle my workflow overnight tonight
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; it's outdated
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; based on a model of when I was in sirius
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; some windows need to be in front of me, not the sides

23:54 TR Bot; May Not Actually Be a Brain Disease, Expert Says : ScienceAlert
23:54 psydruid; this is why I have zero interest in ever moving to the US for a job
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; microsoft is the LFC of the tech world
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; they still live in the 70s
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; or 90s
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; and hiire aggressively
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; to the point of deep losses
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; psydruid: people escape us
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; it's the "mode" now
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; those who can, leave
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; but many have debt
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; and it's hard to start a new life this way
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; unless you are a fugitive
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; like my old boss
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; Ari4d' is moving from US to NL
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; the world in general deteriorated
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; BRICS also
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; china poverty
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; russian poverty
23:56 psydruid; the lucky few are able to move out of the US
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; us poverty
23:56 schestowitz[TR]; eu energy crisis
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; but it is all relative
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; in 6 hours we go to the sunday market to save over 100 pounds, we hope...
23:57 psydruid; but what will the majority do with insane and irresponsible people in power
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; the us has worse than a poverty crisis
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; it has a leadership problem
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; now they pass rather radical new laws
23:57 schestowitz[TR]; even worse than poland
23:58 schestowitz[TR]; you can ty[ppically judge a country by the laws it pases
23:58 schestowitz[TR]; healthy societies would resist
23:58 psydruid; people went to the US in search of opportunities
23:58 schestowitz[TR]; iot was true
23:58 schestowitz[TR]; in the 90s
23:58 schestowitz[TR]; i spoke to my dad twice today
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; my sister moved to the US
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; all their kids hate it
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; even my sister semi-regrets
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; but the husband did work relocation
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; had his salary ducked 20% months ago
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; when inflation is UP
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; he's not alone
23:59 schestowitz[TR]; seems like a trend
