A lot depends on your company and how it works. Some directors drive programs so abstractly, you are an interface to the rest of the company. You coordinate with other directors. Protect your engineers and managers. You have to shield them from the upstream shit. I presume you have 5 managers or so under you. You should have a boss above you as well. Your boss delegates to you and you delegate to your reports. You have a reputation and probably skill with working with others. You have to ensure that your teams are building the right thing in the right way (abstractly of course).. you don't need to micromanage. The best managers and directors bring people together and lead a common cause but let their people figure out how to achieve it.

>Why can't sanctions against individuals and organizations work just as well, for instance?

Because the judicial branch doesn't play an active role in regulating and managing the executive branch. They can only address specific cases and controversies that have been brought before them. And if the legislature doesn't enact penalties for police overstepping their bounds, then the courts can do nothing to punish them. They can only issue orders to halt a specific ongoing violation. This is a hard requirement of the US Constitution[1], and the other common law systems around the world function the same way.

> Many people hate this change, by the way. It scares them that an attitude they used to be able to joke about in a positive way is now something they have to hide. It makes them angry that they have to invest effort and attention for the benefit of people they feel opposed to. It's easy for progressives to simply see it as "progress" and not realize that it leaves a lot of people feeling like losers.

I get the point you're trying to make, but if you read that out of context, it sounds a lot like an apt comparison to what parts of society have been going through with racism (or sexism, or...). It may leave a lot of people "feeling like losers" but to put it bluntly, when a group of people are flat out wrong, such 'side effects' can happen, and I'm not sure that's such a bad thing...

Is a sterile human not alive by this definition? I find that life needing to reproduce is a questionable condition. If we say reproduction is not requisite, then neither is evolution as evolution requires generations.

"Evolve as survival dictates" is a bit pointless, as if you don't change to survive (Assuming the change is requisite) you do not survive. Survival is defined as still being alive, so if you don't survive you are no longer alive and thus not living. We've then defined a state where a living being must continue living to be living, well sure - I agree.

If you think HR isn't central to management, I offer to you that the top junior officers in the US Navy are sent back to the Academy as Company Officers to

* run herd on ~120 talented young midshipmen, basically a high stakes RA.

* meet each other

* earn a master's in HR, focusing on leadership, administered by the Naval Postgraduate School. Spitball annual cost: $10M for 15 a year (2 year program and they're drawing salary and benefits, which could have been invested in having them driving ships or flying airplanes).

Focus on your people, their development, their well-being. Let them handle the technical challenges.

Communicate your people challenges to company HR aggressively. Make sure they are giving your folks money for training. If you have a weak player, talk to HR early. If they think you can handle it, they'll tell you. If they have tools for you, they'll bring those to bear.

Collect data, ask HR what data they collect company-wide. Talk to the other directors. Those are your colleagues now. Use them. Be frank with them.
Thanks. I had done so.

To add on to what you said, I believe the designer forgot one more thing. From what I remember (haven't looked in awhile), these companies are on paper thin margins. They try to shave every last cent they can. By switching to the visuals that the designers came up with, it would add to an increased ink cost.

This calculation won't even try to be accurate, but rather for argument purposes. The design that has the large black rectangle of black could add an extra 8in^2 of black printable ink. okay... I'm too lazy to look this up, but let's say they print 20m of these a year, the ink cost would add up for that redesign.
Very impressive! It's amazing what people are doing with OTS technology.
There are a few things that are wrong with Wikipedia's (re)definition of life; one thing I would like to mention is that what is missing from it is that a "living being" cannot exist outside of a pretty rich (and sufficiently dense) material environment, which 'space' as such is not.

Incidentally, a galaxy-size dense environment (and the creature itself) would collapse into a bunch of stars and black holes "in no time".

Well said. It seems like it's human nature when your side gets the upper hand, you demonize and attack the other.

One of my friends is fairly liberal-oriented and she openly says that the "hateful" right doesn't deserve rights or free speech. Her and her friends motto is "tolerance of the intolerant is an oxymoron". For all her talk of love of humans, animals ( she's a vegan ), etc, she has a terrible anger inside her.

I don't know how we fight against our ugly impulses other than adhering to our principles of equality, free speech and individual rights.

It is a difficult and worrying time we live in because neither side is interested in dialogue and each side accuses the other of be hateful and sequesters themselves in their respective echo chambers which radicalizes them even further.

In the case of driving, however, the problem of deciding what behavior to veto is itself a hard problem - perhaps the hardest of all. When the system monitoring the AI is itself AI, the argument becomes circular - which is not to say it cannot be solved, but I think it makes it harder to dismiss the concerns.
I'm only a casual user of ZFS on Linux for personal storage projects, but I've spoken with people who rely very heavily on ZFS on Linux for their small businesses, and it's interesting to hear their perspectives on this. Essentially, because btrfs has failed to deliver on the next-gen filesystem front, ZFS on Linux is such a critical piece of technology that unless Red Hat has an answer soon for out-of-the-box ZFS on Linux, Canonical has a pretty staggering advantage. One theory is that Canonical has essentially forced Oracle to decide whether it wants to crack down on inclusion of CDDL-licensed code being shipped with Ubuntu's stock kernel, so Red Hat may be waiting to see if Oracle sweeps in or not before following suit.

I'd be very surprised if RHEL (by observing the progression of Fedora development) continues to bet on btrfs, as I have yet to encounter anyone (including myself) who would ever trust btrfs over ZFS on Linux with anything of importance based on their experiences with the two - my experience is anecdotal, but ZFS has been just as reliable on *BSD as with any Linux distribution.
At the very least the exact same tests should be run on Intel CPUs.

This will isolate the issue. If Intel CPUs report the same errors as some users are reporting this is in extremely bad faith.

Books:

"Practical Holography”, by Graham Saxby

“Holography Handbook” by Fred Unterseher

Unfortunately, sort of became a lost art. most of the hologram art and community (sellers of film and plates) all seem to be directly connected to a School for Holography in California that closed in the 70's and 80's. It's the only art form I know that includes lasers, emulsions and chemical development processes...I can't recommend it enough.

I think diesel gate executive personal assets should be frozen as a result of the emission scandal.

Thousands will die due to the dirty air pollution caused by these cars.
Who is this author? This seems mostly wrong to me. Shrinking die size doesn't seem to have anything to do with the removal of tristate buffers from FPGAs. FPGA vendors are constently trying to shorten the length/amount of interconnects because it translates into faster designs with more logic regardless of die size.

What what I've heard/read. The RAM change is entirely due to architectural improvements and a shift towards "columnar" design. Architects have learned that having your data flow in a similar direction simplifies routing and leads to more dense and faster designs.

The pattern:

LOGIC <- CONTROLLER <=> RAM

Doesn't translate well to modern FPGA architectures because of the multiple data directions, so architects switched to:

INPUT/CONTROLLER -> RAM -> READ_LOGIC

* This is a simplification as FPGAs place and route is a pretty huge problem with many trades offs to consider.
They are replacing it with S3, but reducing a lot the shared data, and you have to pay S3 to access it.

If you remove reproduction, remove evolution, what else is left?

Evolution doesn't necessarily involve reproduction. A sufficiently advanced human (or computer) could enhance itself technologically, continuously replace it's organs (Ghost in the Shell), even change it's form and this would count in my book as a form of (non-biological) evolution. You could say the same thing about culture.

I think that definition is more for lower level life forms, where is not clear (see viruses).

Higher forms of life could be defined differently - agency, ability to sustain/repair itself, opposition towards environment. But then you might encounter difficulties with classifying a self repairing (non-sentient) robot as "alive".

Related - but only to the blocking:

Answer: blocked.

Blocking is a power thing for some people. IIRC it used to be a thing in the old Usenet and of course it existed before that in other forms.

It's not just a narrative. There are multiple sub-communities and they have radically different worldviews. The fact that BCH exists is one proof of that.

This quite real and significant divergence of worldviews is one of the biggest challenges that civilization faces, and, I believe, is also the primary thing holding back wider deployment of innovative technologies, rather than technical or financial limitations.

This is not to say that people shouldn't have different views. But identities are tied up together with communities and the general belief system that goes with them. It's just human nature and no technology is immune to it.

> "How do you enable your brain to create a wider variety of emotions and improve your emotional intelligence? One approach is to learn new emotion words. Each new word seeds your brain with the capacity to make new emotion predictions (...)"

This is a very interesting article. However, I wonder if/how the concept (or skill) of emotional granularity can be obtained only from learning new words for emotions. It kind of reminds me of NLP (Neuro-Linguisting programming).

Anyone here has any knowledge on these subjects, or is aware of an accessible research paper where this is explained in a simple way? Also, how is this approach of emotional granularity seen by other researchers?
Well, your sterile human appears to be a strawman. Obviously, a person may be sterile, but the organism cannot stay alive if the continual process of reproduction (of cells, their organelles, and molecules) inside it ever stops.

A multi-cell organism is an emergent phenomenon that helps protein-based molecular structures to do their thing ("life").

So I think you're right. But that doesn't mean you can't be nice to people who are wrong. Often times these people hate ideas or opinions because those ideas challenges their perceived identity or values. Often these people are insecure. Someone who just drastically had their opinion changed might feel pretty troubled, and being understanding that their worldview has just changed can avoid a lot of friction. As long as you don't forget that they're still wrong.

Come to Amsterdam to see first hand proof of this study. Virtually no one wears helmets... because you don't have to. Infrastructure is designed to be bikers first. Drivers are constantly aware of bikes and also receive training to avoid the most common accidents (hitting a biker when opening the door - see the Dutch Reach).

The biggest threat to a biker in this city is another (often less experienced) biker, pedestrians not looking around or trying to cross tram tracks parallel. However, it did take almost 40 years to get here though, changes starting in the 1970s - I do hope many cities will follow a similar route.

What I've observed is not quite as extreme: People are deadly scared that they might injure a cyclist. But they believe that cycling on roads is unreasonably dangerous, so they blame the cyclist for endangering themselves.

They may also associate cycling with children, and get mad in the same way that they'd get mad if they caught their own kids playing mumblety peg with the chainsaw. The kids don't deserve to get injured, but you're mad at them nonetheless.

But once people gain a reasonable level of comfort riding a bike on roads, they're still scared of hitting a cyclist while driving a car, but less likely to think the cyclist is being inherently stupid by riding on the road.
