And this is a general issue with prophylactic or anti-aging style 'drugs'. Demonstrating a compound is safe enough to not cause undue harm while helping to rid the body of an accute ailment is a very different kind of 'safe' than something one might be expected to take every day for years.
I'm pretty cynical about the endless stream of HBR articles on this 'leadership' topic.

There is no formula and there are endless variables. Most larger organizations suspend management in a vacuum of lack of knowledge of decision making above them, which leads to a lack of trust from the people they are 'managing'.

Add in politics and feifdoms, and the safest route to longevity for big corp mid managers is to camouflage themselves within the organization, not making any decisions unless and until it's clear which way the wind's blowing.

Bravery around innovation and pushing better practices all too often results in punishment or worse, with most emphasis being on magically doing more with less while increasing revenue.

Smaller business entities are far more human and real, and good 'leadership' in these environments is more sensitive to humans, effective innovation and growth ...

People are often motivated to do meaningful work given that they have autonomy. So, I make sure to bring the meaning to the work. Telling someone to do XYZ were XYZ is some mundane task is not motivating. But painting a picture of how XYZ leads to ABC which leads to a big goal and letting them know that their boring XYZ counts is important. Given that they know how to solve the problem and understand why it's important, they usually perform well.

If they are not performing well, then it's usually that they don't know how to do the task. I like separating my R&D. Researching during Development can be frustrating. Especially if the deliverable of development is time bound. So before work, we only use well known tools & methods. If we are going to experiment, I like experiments ran by themselves where failure doesn't bring any stress. After learning from the experiment, we only bring one new major technology into the picture at a time.

I also give pep speech every weekly team meeting. I can't help it. Everyone has greatness in them provided they are willing to work it out! One must do the work, one must stay gritty in the difficult times. One must find meaning in all work that is done, and that meaning should not just be useful to us but to the world at large (our customers) A positive and growth mindset is very important so I make sure to nurture and cultivate that in the team. Our rallying cry is "Challenge accepted!"
Night owl here. Didn't need this study to tell me what I already know. That is all.
This was a Phase 1 study, which means that it was designed exclusively to test safety and tolerability of the agent. This explains both the small sample size and the crossover design. I wouldn't expect there to be even tentative assessment of effect until they run a larger Phase 2 trial. As for the press office, all it would know (or care) is that this was published in a decent journal.
Systems that are just do not generally require secrecy to the degree that unjust systems do, precisely due to the fact that when publicized, people will generally agree with just processes.
Again, in your specific situation it may have been. My point is that, the purpose behind getting into the weeds to such a degree as a manager isn't as obvious as it may seem - especially as a new manager who is trying to understand the organization.

IMO it's more cost effective and stable just to buy a Ryzen 2400G system (the same cost as a good eGPU case), put in Linux and use it for training at a full speed. TB3 has 4x lower throughput than PCIe, so if you need to transfer a lot of data (any meaningful non-toy model these days), it's better to stick with internal GPU. Not mentioning Linux is 1st class/preferred platform for many frameworks like TensorFlow etc.

That couldn't be further from the truth. Facebook's internal communications happen almost 100% exclusively through Facebook itself, meaning this "memo" was most likely a Facebook post, complete with liking, reacting, and commenting capability from anyone in the company.

Buzzfeed touched on this in their version of the story:

> One former employee who spoke with BuzzFeed News noted that they remembered the post and the blowback it received from some workers at the time. “It was one of [Bosworth’s] least popular and most controversial posts,” the ex-employee said. “There are people that are probably still not in his fan club because of his view.”

I'm struggling to see why anybody thinks this is a reasonable defence.

There is no indication he didn't believe it. The company's behaviour is consistent with it. He only said "I didn't mean it, it was to stimulate debate", and the classic "You're missing context" (which I am not able to show, of course) after drawing negative PR.

It seems very generous to me to give his recent tweet much credibility at all.

I don't know how to say this well, and I often get a lot of flak on HN for trying to say it at all. People don't like having their normal sex life compared to prostitution in any way, shape or form. But the fact that I get so much flak suggests it hits a nerve.

There is no clear demarcation between sex work and non commercial sex. Dating frequently involves a man spending money on a woman in hopes of getting laid. Sexual relationships almost never occur in isolation from material aspects of our lives.

As one example, heterosexual sex can lead to babies. So we routinely try to parse "Can this guy support a child if the union results in one?"

That's a moral question where creating a child and being unable to provide for it is irresponsible. So there is no means whatsoever to completely separate money and sexual morality. The relationship between the two is complicated, but it doesn't work to try to pretend you can simply and conveniently separate sex and material stuff.

The fact that there is no clear cut demarcation point between non commercial sex and commercial sex is why Craigslist pulled all its personal sections in reaction to this. So, logically, this potentially endangers all dating sites and hookup apps.

One possible path of progression: With no spaces left devoted to the needs of sex workers, dating sites and hookup apps could become a means of solicitation and then all activities on such sites would become suspect and no one could even ask who is paying for coffee when they meet.

I am not very familiar with this legislation, but "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" doesn't begin to capture the kinds of negative consequences we are already seeing in reaction to this. This is apparently so deeply anti sex that it isn't remotely limited to being anti commercial sex.

I find myself baffled at the capacity of the human race to superficially pretend we are doing something good and moral while just being sexually hung up and apparently wanting to hatefully punish people for having any sexual impetus at all.

This is my second attempt to try to express some of this. I would appreciate it if folks don't scream at me about how sex in their marriage is not an act of prostitution. It's a pointless derail of the conversation that just makes me feel "Me thinks thou doth protest too much." It would be nice if people would stick to the topic of consequences of these laws instead of acting like I have said "You, yes you, are just buying sex from your wife and she clearly does not love you." I said no such thing.

Orchestral music is a tough racket because it costs $50,000 to get an orchestra out of bed, and then you're competing against 200 years of great stuff that's in the public domain. I do think that soundtracks are where it's at for orchestral music. Music that's not simple pop had a shift from churches and courts to concert halls in the 1800s because that's where the money was, and now most people experience it in film or videogames for the same reason. Williams, Zimmer, Shore, and Elfman have all done great stuff.
One of the coolest parts of zstd is the simple support for custom dictionaries. If you have a lot of mid sized blobs that you want to separately compress (so that you can separately decompress them), you can create a common dictionary that covers the entire corpus.

The IANA released 1.0.0.0/8 to APNIC, and APNIC subsequently sold parts of it to China Telecom. I deduct this because neighboring IP ranges (https://stat.ripe.net/1.1.0.0#tabId=at-a-glance and https://stat.ripe.net/1.1.2.0#tabId=at-a-glance) belong to China Telecom. So 1.1.1.0 likely did too. I think the whois information may have reflected the China Telecom ownership before it was updated.

APNIC-LABS is probably just a joint partner in that Cloudflare resolver project.
> from those they manage

I think the idea of "they have to support that" isn't just about managers applying this to themselves, but not wanting to set the precedent elsewhere.

If you've got 4 or more layers at your company, then there are multiple layers with both superiors and reports. If layer 3 says "hey, layer 1, tell us if layer 2 is doing well", then it's pretty obvious 4 should go ask 2 the same question.

It can still happen, not everyone is opposed to feedback, but implementing something like this at any layer can get opposition from everyone anywhere in management who worries they'd get a bad review.

FastCGI is a classic example of second-system syndrome. I once looked at the spec. It was ridiculously overdesigned.

I'm tempted to say it started in the 80s, as corporate raiders ran around.

This lead to a shift in focus from continuation of the corporation to a focus on shareholder dividends.

Then later the raider mentality turned into the VC mentality, in both cases focusing on a boom-or-bust approach.

I do, though not too intensively. You are right about the difficulty of the economic problem, but I remember spending lots of time setting up a new thing called Linux to operate a small relay over dial-up when most people were using proprietary systems like Compuserve, so it's OK that the new technology is kind of slow or difficult. The important thing (IMHO) is that it be comprehensible and consistent, because it's easier to build the user interface and speed it up once it's already working.
Since thats the case today with eGPU thunderbolt 3 docks I would assume so.
So I've been using an eGPU for about 3 months now and it is amazing. This isn't officially supported so you end up having to do a lot of work arounds to get things like tensorflow/pytorch working.

It doesn't let you hot plug your eGPU into your computer (you have to restart for it to work) but for officially supported eGPUs you're now able to do that.

I've trained various models using a Titan XP and it's so awesome to be able to maintain the portability of your laptop and still get all of that power. A large benefit is also not having to move training data around between servers and other machines if you have it on an external drive or just on your laptop.

After you get everything up and running there isn't that much maintenance or anything you have to do regularly to keep it working. The speedup is incredible and it was definitely worth it for me personally, however it's not a walk in the park to get it set up initially.

Interesting article, I never really thought about a disengaged manager as being incompetent.

Anecdotally, at the same company I had one manager who was completely hands off and free of any actionable feedback or advice. While it felt empowering to chart my own destiny, I also wouldn't have any insight into where my weaknesses were or if what I'm feeling about the project at that time was normal. Are others feeling the same way?

Then when I transferred to a different manager they were very engaging, and would follow up with me outside of our 1 on 1s whenever there was a reason to check back in. The very first question I was asked, "how do you like to be recognized?" It certainly threw me off guard because I never really thought about it directly before. Also, they would give me hard feedback and help me course correct from their different vantage point in the moment, not later during a performance review.

Needless to say, the first manager I consistently got a meets all rating, which was fine, but it was demotivating and I would have probably left, while the second, I did way better and fell in love with my job.
I have had this in my .zshrc for years:

# Quick ../../.. from https://github.com/blueyed/oh-my-zsh
resolve-alias() {
# Recursively resolve aliases and echo the command.
typeset -a cmd
cmd=(${(z)1})
while (( ${+aliases[$cmd[1]]} )) \
&& [[ ${aliases[$cmd[1]]} != $cmd ]]; do
cmd=(${(z)aliases[${cmd[1]}]})
done
echo $cmd
}
rationalise-dot() {
# Auto-expand "..." to "../..", "...." to "../../.." etc.
# It skips certain commands (git, tig, p4).
#
# resolve-alias is defined in a separate function.

local MATCH # keep the regex match from leaking to the environment.

# Skip pasted text.
if (( PENDING > 0 )); then
zle self-insert
return
fi

if [[ $LBUFFER =~ '(^|/| ||'$'\n''|\||;|&)\.\.$' ]] \
&& ! [[ $(resolve-alias $LBUFFER) =~ '(git|tig|p4)' ]]; then
LBUFFER+=/
zle self-insert
zle self-insert
else
zle self-insert
fi
}
zle -N rationalise-dot
bindkey . rationalise-dot
bindkey -M isearch . self-insert 2>/dev/null

For doing "cd ../.." I type "cd ...", each extra "." adds a "/.." to the argument.

It works for any command, cp/mv/whatever.

There may be nicer versions, certainly shorter versions are there if I search "rationalise-dot" in Google.

I wonder how much impact the availability of libraries makes, compared to the elegance of the design?
To me the difference between a script and an alias is too trivial to quibble over. I'm fine putting all of my aliases into one-line scripts, if that would really make them easier to manage across systems.

My basic philosophical disagreement is with the idea of avoiding interactive command shortcuts. This essentially limits you to only using command line features you can memorize, or be willing to look them up every single time. There are too many commands, with totally inconsistent argument styles, for this to be practical.

The result is that you're only going to use a small subset of the command line's power if you limit yourself in this way.

RANT: Yes, I agree alias ll="ls -l" is a crutch. But why does 'sort' use -t for separator and -f for field, while 'cut' uses -d and -k? The famously composable Unix tools really aren't very consistent. Radically improved tab completion and documentation (vs man pages and Info) might be a start, but in the end you have to evolve new syntax.
I wish he’d stop tweaking it at this point. Newer versions are incompatible with older versions, which is a cardinal sin if you want mass adoption for something like this.

Or at least identify a stable subset of some sort and put it into another tool that I would not be hesitant to use.

So when I need something very fast I use Snappy or lz4, and when I need decent compression ratio I use pigz.
