Macrodata Refinement
- trvr 2y agoYou get a nice screen of dancing Milchick gifs when you get done.
- gkoberger 2y agoThat happens when you hit about 80%! When you hit 100%, you get a random sequence of numbers and a message praising Kier.
- latexr 2y agoI noticed it at 78%. Not that the exact number is relevant. Or is it?! No, probably not.
- whycome 2y agoI didn't get kier. boo
- idamantium 2y agoI'll have to look closer for the Kier message.... Definitely got a driveby from Milchick at around 75%

- abtinf 2y agoWorks fine in firefox for me.
- gkoberger 2y agoWhy do you blame Firefox over the website? Isn't it more likely that the website creator did something that isn't standards compliant? When this happens and people switch to Chrome, there's less money/resources for Firefox to continue on and we just keep pushing farther toward a world where developers only need to focus on Chrome. It's a cycle that ends with Google controlling all access to the internet.
- voytec 2y agoOften that's the case but I'm happy to report that this site works flawlessly in my Firefox.
- mrgoldenbrown 2y agoHow do you know it's a Firefox problem? Maybe the site relies on some Chromium specific quirk?
- mvdtnz 2y agoAs a user it doesn't make any difference to me WHY it doesn't work. If it works on one browser and doesn't work on another then I am having a better time with the browser it works on.
- beeflet 2y agothis attitude is what makes the problem: it encourages developers to treat a single implementation as the standard.

- teej 2y agoThis is a recreation of a fictional computer program from the excellent Apple TV show - Severance. The work is mysterious, and important. Season 2 is going now. It’s one of my top 3 shows of the last decade, highly recommend it.
- tombh 2y agoWhat are your other 2? Severance could well get into my top 3, but currently I think mine would be: Mr. Robot, Breaking Bad and Wednesday.
- have_faith 2y agoFor me, Bir Baskadir (Ethos) is easily in the top 3. It only got one season but it's very self contained, highly recommend.
- antirez 2y agoFor me other than severance: Halt and catch fire and Better call Saul.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- teej 2y agoI enjoy shows where I get completely engrossed in the world and the story. I love shows that I can fall in love with again on a rewatch. And I want to have lingering thoughts about it when it’s over. True Detective S1 (2014) is perfect television, but is too old for the last-decade list. The only other definitive Top 3 is Dark (Netflix) Other candidates: - Frieren - Better Call Saul - Arcane - Midnight Mass - Counterpart (underrated) - Andor
- whycome 2y agoIs it too late to watch True Detective S1 then? Old as in dated?

- svachalek 2y agoThe work is mysterious and important.
- maiar 2y agoAt first, “scary numbers” seems ridiculous. Then you realize we live in a world where otherwise meaningless numbers (also known as “money”) are, because of their emotional effects on others, scaling up to the whole society, legitimately fear-inducing.
- deaddodo 2y agoI think it's funny that 90% of the arguments I hear people having day-to-day, especially in the political realm but also in general, are literally just semantic arguments. Things like "yeah, I'm fine with someone being trans, I just don't think they should call themselves <insert-gender>" or, inversely, "calling someone <insert-gender> when they want to be <insert-other-option> is highly offensive". Like, yeah I guess so, if specific words just have that much power over your life...personally, I just care about what the intention/meaning behind someone's entire point is. Like when my mother used to call my Sega a Nintendo, I knew what she meant...no reason to focus on the semantics. To tie back to your point. People give so much power to words, and numbers are a bit more abstract but the same can be said of those as well. I care very little that someone else has 250bln USD, however I care very much if they are using that (or have the power) to inordinately effect/shape society.

- deadbabe 2y agoHas Hackernews ever hit quota?
- pavlov 2y agoWorking at a startup before product-market fit can feel like this. You don’t know why the work is important, but it must be done so we can at least discover whether it was important. You may not get that information, but you can take comfort in assuming someone does have it. You’re mostly disconnected from your previous life. There is a guy in the next office feeding baby goats, and your reaction is: “Yes, it makes sense that we’re also exploring feeding baby goats.” People come in as blank slates and you’re grateful to have their companionship in the shared madness.
- goaaron 2y agoThis completely misses the disturbing horror aspect of the show.
- pavlov 2y agoSevere enough burnout at a startup (or crunch-mode game studio, or similar) can give you a reasonable simulacrum of that. Come in, go home, come back. Did something actually happen that wasn’t work? Unclear.
- mptest 2y ago>come in, go home, come back. https://youtu.be/2n34NrkDlZk https://youtu.be/2n34NrkDlZk this felt germane
- trhway 2y agoto me it isn't about burnout, etc. To me the show is a metaphor for "nothing personal just business" - for how people may turn off that human personality inside them and do whatever is "just doing my job/following the order".

- ninkendo 2y agoAre there any fan theories of what the work is they’re doing? My bet is on lumen “renting” part of their subconscious to train a computer, while their conscious minds see a sort of projection of the training, and the act of selecting the numbers has a mirror effect on the part of the brain they’re renting, affecting the model training. But that may be a little too “current events” focused, and the writers may have something totally different in mind.
- wmf 2y agoWe know the Cold Harbor file is related to Gemma/Ms. Casey. There's a theory that Mark is somehow resurrecting her by refining that file.
- thegabriele 2y agoMy opinion is that the work they are performing it's not the point of them being there. It's about testing the limits of the exploitations of human beings.
- frenchtoast8 2y agoMy theory is that all the severed employees are doing various maintenance tasks to keep the floor functioning. Like the hospital in Yes, Minister that is closed to the public but has 500 employees, all of them overworked.[1] Take O&D for instance, their full time job appears to be to just create art and handbooks used on the severed floor. Perhaps all the departments are like that. MDR could be doing some sort of ongoing maintenance for the severed system itself, like emotion or memory control of the employees on the floor. I believe the "point" of the severed floor is not the actual work that's being done, but the act of keeping them occupied while they are experimented on. Besides Mark S and Cold Harbor, I believe there are hints of other experiments being run. The dreams Irving B has during work seem unique to him, and it's uniquely affecting his outie as well. I also believe recent events in Season 2 with Dylan G could be the start of another experiment. ^1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAk448volww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAk448volww
- pests 2y agoI thought the wife was oddly emotional during that scene with Dylan G. While I agree it would be odd to see your SO's innie, the way she was in awe and full of emotion just seemed very intense. Like seeing a long lost lover or those first date jitters. Probably overthinking things but I thought it was odd.

- jmyeet 2y agoI only watched Severance Season 1 last month. I'm actually glad I didn't have to endure the 3 year wait for Season 2. It is an outstanding show and well worth the watch. There are two things that I find interesting about a lot of media: 1. How much of it is nakedly anti-capitalist and many people don't seem to recognize that. Severance is incredibly anti-capitalist and damning of the entire corporate world. It paints the corporate world as soulless and disconnected from reality. The bizarre perks like the wellness sessions, getting to know you, the music dance experience and the waffle party are a searing indictmment on any corporate team-building experience; and 2. How much media is anti-imperialist and we have no problem identifying that the resistance to that are the "good guys" and the authoritarian state are quite clearly the "bad guys" yet, again, people can't seem to see that in real life. The classic example of Star Wars, which George Lucas has explicitly stated that the Rebellion was based on Vietnamese resistance to American imperialist ambitions [1]. Milchick in "Defiant Jazz" lives rent-free in my head. The work is mysterious and important.

- yapyap 2y agoScary.
- wyldfire 2y agoI wonder if the macrodata refinement task in the show (well-reproduced here) is something like the work done by human moderators of Facebook, Twitter, etc? It takes a real toll on them, wading through some of the worst content humanity has to offer. It seems like "severance" could be a way to mitigate the real-world damage to moderators' psyche. And then by further decomposing into tasks like the ones done by macrodata refinement (and other teams across the world, praise Kier), that could limit it further. ... although by forking their identity and imprisoning one of them, it seems likely to do more harm than good. Freedom from Lumon for the innies would be the death of that identity, unless they could find a way to share the physical host.
- firtoz 2y agoGreat! Now... What could be a real use case for something like this, I was thinking about it as I watched the series. It's a bit like the Apple "perform AI operations on encrypted data without the server knowing the contents" I guess? Was it homomorphic encryption?

- jdmarble 2y agoThey said it would be corrected by now. It should be Mr. Milchick.
- sweeter 2y agoThe themes of alienation, the parallels to classes and the methods in which people use to divide people so that they won't unite and revolt, as well as challenging pre-established hierarchies and the methods that are used to justify them and indoctrinate is so poignant. Mix that classical analysis with the modern corporate environment that is so sanitized and faux empathetic for self-interest, and you have a masterpiece.
