I generally want the employee to have the option to discuss it. But I also want them to use this option responsibly and to provide appropriate context in their discussion. If they repeatedly don't, a different style of communication is needed with them.
But then the vast majority of users will never know about it, which is not self-explanatory.

Also, out of curiosity, how does that work on mobile? I know it's a naive question but I've never figured that out.

haha, what new drug is circulating in SF right now?
Indeed, the book has a chapter on that but it's towards the end. Solar panels are, sadly, outside its scope.
The electric car is useful because in the event of a power outage, a decent one will have a 60KWH+ battery. Assuming it's even partially charged, that's enough energy to power personal electronics for weeks. You could probably even power a fridge, TV, and some basic household equipment for a week if you had a decent inverter.

On the other note, if you get grid tied solar you can use them if the power is down, but you need to buy an SMA inverter with secure power supply. The inverter will give you an outlet that will work if the grid is down, even without a battery system.
* "while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more" suggests that you should do enough of the items on the left such that the job gets done.

* "Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done." implies that the ops team also needs to be given the environment and support they need from development.

* "Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility." where "technical excellence" implies an understanding of working code that isn't dependent on valid data.

* "At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly." means that if ops can't do its job, then the development team needs to reflect and adjust its behavior accordingly.

So, sadly, they tried. We just went too far in the other direction in some organizations, and that needs to be stopped. If it isn't working, change it - agile shouldn't be in the way.
It's truly something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The combination of severe disability -- worse than many so-called "serious" illnesses -- combined with utter indifference is crippling financially, socially, and psychologically. I was recently reading someone's post on Reddit, and they said they wished they had cancer instead, because at least with cancer, you either get better, or you die. I mean. You don't want a disease that makes you wish you had cancer.
Norms vary by country, and significantly, by company. So possibly, but I wouldn't draw such far reaching conclusions from this.
This is sort of a funny observation, but also sort of a wrong one.

It's not just that people on and off the spectrum have two different but equally effective communication styles and we have arbitrarily chosen one as "normal".

All humans, across all cultures, communicate rich sets of information at multiple levels using word choice, prosody, timing, tone, and body language. There is text and subtext and subsubtext. While different cultures have communicate different things, it's universally true that human interaction is high bandwidth. There is a lot of data coming off a person.

People on the autism spectrum struggle to both process the data they receive and to effectively broadcast that data on multiple levels without putting an intense, draining amount of energy into it. It's not just a stylistic difference, it's a more fundamental difference in quantity of information.
That is a fair request, but why is this story allowed? It's clearly off-topic for HN (Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless
they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of
pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on
TV news, it's probably off-topic.)
> Tech has changed in the last decade, to where I don't think someone "on the spectrum," could survive very long in a west coast company without being preyed upon by people who trade on other attributes

> Using Pfeffer's triad of "Performance, Credentials, Relationships," businesses seem to evolve to where success becomes weighted to the latter two instead of purely on performance. Arbitrage, startups, and other asymmetric, high risk plays could seem to benefit from high performing people on the spectrum, where people in later stage businesses that have more linear growth or stability benefit from the latter two.

> it seems to both normalize groupthink and some of the more shameful characteristics of political operators, and pathologizes clear reasoning and principle.

This lines up so closely with my interpretation of reality I am quite amazed.

The part that I can't figure out is how it seems like normal people can so effortlessly adapt to these scenarios, for example, take your typical elephant in the room situation where management is lying about something, I don't see how people can so easily differentiate between statements that should be interpreted truthfully and those that shouldn't, and when I ask people about this, they seem to not even know what I'm talking about. Is it as simple as being very good at paying attention to what people do, not what they say?
Not all managers make good moral or financial decisions, but many do. The very best manage to make both at the same time.
I'm curious why there isn't a "smoking gun", i.e. the actual Lyme causing bacteria being found in vivo rather than these inconclusive diagnostic tests and questionnaires. Seems like the first step to Getting Serious.

Yes, as long as the government recognizes that the ones who created the problem are the ones who should pay for it, in other words the businesses and not the people.
When do the reals start making sense (beyond hand-waving explanations)?
If DRM allows you to consume content you would not otherwise have access to, it is a feature. What does it limit you from doing, in particular? Running custom software on your device? That’s a funny definition of malware.
I always thought calculus should work equally well with rationals, because they are continuous (in that you can always get closer...)
I still vastly prefer the flexibility, cost-advantages, and productivity gains from remote work.

That being said, you have to invest in it. Have a separate room with a door. Spend some money on good ergonomics. Have a good, stable internet connection.
Country codes came much later.

The current system was introduced in the CCITT Blue Book in 1964, it looks like. Area codes were in the 40s.
A 20mbps shared limit for an entire neighborhood for a major cableco might have been the case 20 years ago when cable internet deployment was in its infancy.

While I agree that symmetric fiber would be better, my speeds are always consistently close to what I'm paying for and I'm one of those types of people that:

1) utilizes my upstream because of things like DR backups
2) treats cabelco with suspicion and thus records speeds, latency, packet loss stats continously
3) will pick up the phone and complain when I see problems until they are resolved to my satisfaction

For example, this is representative of what I typically see:

I count myself as one of the lucky ones and YMMV.
Please enlighten me. I want to be educated. According to me our mind is very fluid. We can teach it to behave a certain way. I do not believe that someone is awkward socially or cannot get caught in mania etc just because they are the way they are. All of this is learned behavior according to me. Why is it that most of these people are in the US? It seems to me because the environment makes people act this way. I do not think that this is because of genetics. If we mediate then we can look at the mind as an observer and change most if not all of our behavior. When someone gets a diagnosis for say ADHD. Then they exhibit those symptoms even more because they reinforce that behavior.

put these people in a situation that the only way to survive is to socialize, i am pretty sure they will be very charming because we are capable of doing a lot if our survival is at stake.

Here i am not talking about people with mental illness. Those i understand. Please help me understand this

How many bosses did you have in your first 10 years of working? That sounds awful and I’m sorry you went through that.

I used to work at a very large company, and perhaps because of that, when I couldn’t get something done on time, asking for help was something I felt empowered to do.

Now that I’m a co-founder of a much smaller company, we don’t have as many people to help if someone gets overworked... but that means we’re much more careful about asking for too much over a given amount of time. Software development comes with all kinds of unknown unknowns when you first begin on a change, so we generally plan for that.

Having a small team - and strongly wanting everyone to have a 40 hour week, not a 60 hour week - has helped me understand how essential prioritization is to our success.
It's helpful to see how there are fundamental precedents for externally mediated genomic change, which may then give rise to phenotypic ("what we see") or genomic ("the source code of what we see") differences:

Transposons or "jumping genes" [1] are segments of DNA code which can move around within a genome by themselves (autonomously).

Presumably though, over time, enough of these moving in the right place - in combination with some other mutation - might confer some benefit that leads to speciation [2].

> I can only assume the "nothing to do" retirement crowd didn't do much when they were working, and therefore have no idea how to fill the time. Personally:

Loads of folks derive personal value and meaning out of their work, and I'm one of them. I've been out of work once for a few months, and that was with a job waiting for me at the end of the tunnel.

It was eye opening how depressive it was, to be robbed of your big "thing." I'm saying this as someone with a boat load of little "things," reading, outdoorsmanship, sports, etc. The second that surety of purpose is gone, so goes my wider motivation.
So, TL;DR:, one cannot build a meaningful calculus using the rational numbers alone. Not unexpected, judging by its history... A more interesting (to me, anyway) fact is that one can build (or "model") any number system - all integers, rationals, reals, etc. - using just the set of natural numbers (i.e. positive integers).
I'm curious about the "fine-tuning based detection" mentioned in the report ("Fine-tunes a language model to 'detect itself'... over a range of available settings"). Does anyone know good articles/papers (or have an off-the-top tl;dr) to get a high-level grasp of "self-detection" for generative models?
Power users are mostly families watching videos etc. I downloaded less on a 50/50 connection than my mother does on her ~1.5mbit DSL line.

The real difference is streaming almost everything vs needing to wait until a download finishes.
Except, as noted above, real estate leases usually don't get renegotiated. I don't know if it's because of the long time frames or exactly why, but landlords frequently would rather leave a building empty than not get their rates.
I've found that making a bit of small talk about exactly how I am is a great filter for people who have actual empathy vs people who view other people's lives as distractions from their own.
Ask HN: How to manage security across accounts online?
I have about ~50 online accounts/apps I use at least once a month, each has their own policies and settings I can update if I remember to.

I'm currently using a password manager which helps, but I feel like I'm letting things fall through the cracks like updating each site's privacy settings or removing unused accounts.

How do other people manage this?

There have been some new studies that show that lingering Lyme symptoms are probably caused at least in some cases by "persister" bacteria, that go into a defensive mode during the first deluge of antibiotics and then live to re-infect you after the antibiotics are over. Similar things happen in leprosy and TB if I'm not mistaken. The latest research is about how to kill those persisters. Disulfiram, aka antabuse, is currently in clinical trials, and some doctors at specialty clinics are also using a triple antibiotic cocktail to try to achieve the same effect. I would recommend traveling to one of those clinics if you can afford it...of course they don't take insurance.
Power clusters are used for ML because they have integrated NVLink and as I remember OpenCApi for FPGA. It’s not general purpose platform.
Oh, dear, what a strange, cynical take.

If you define "empathy" as "care very much about the feelings of others", then, yes, my experience is that people on the spectrum have no shortage of empathy. My daughter is a very warm-hearted person who intensely wants the people around her to feel good.

But if you define it as "able to easily and correctly read the feelings of others", then, no, it really is a challenge for people on the spectrum.

It's not that they don't want to hear the music, it's just that their radio doesn't tune into it very well.
So, the main thing people fail to recognize is that the cost you pay and the cost of providing you service aren't significantly correlated. Essentially you are paying into a budget sheet that your ISP has going, where their expenses of operating the network (plus profit, of course) is divvied up amongst all their customers.

It's just preferable, of course, if people who use the service more, effectively pay more for it. As someone who's in the top few percent of Internet users, I know this would mean I would pay more, but I'm okay with that. Seniors who check their email once a week shouldn't be spending $60 a month on Internet.
I believe the difference is that the Linux kernel itself is not that big a project. Windows is a lot more than just a kernel; it’s more akin to having the source code for an entire Linux distribution in one repo.
Just reading up about this issue. Root cause for the controversy seems to be difficulty of diagnosis. What prevents development of a "smoking gun" detector for lyme, finding the actual lyme causing bacteria in vivo in humans with symptoms?
I didn't dive to deep into this so I could be wrong but this looks like control theory with elements of category theory.

I'm looking more for a theory of modules and relationships. Something that can formalize the ways we organize code.
Once the market turns, and the labor pools aren't so tight, you might just see corporations stop allowing so much remote work. If you need to lay off 10% of staff, and 15% of your staff are remote, that's a easy place to start cutting. Lay-off all your remote workers, and re-hire the 5% from local employees who can work at your existing office.

> The 'financial-math-numbers-wizard' is absolutely the very rare exception

One of the points in the article is exactly the opposite of this observation...that ASD is far more common than most people believe it to be. The difference is that the vast majority of those with autism can pass and silently struggle with the negatives of their condition. Your SO deals with those who can't pass and have the more pronounced form of the condition. There's a selection bias by the simple fact that they end up in her class that creates that 10::1 you describe even though the 1 will be much more common in the overall population.

I can see that pushing the savant angle of the condition can be counterproductive, especially to those whose form of ASD often prevents them from being functional. But so is the "it's rare" narrative that leads people who can pass to struggle with not understanding themselves. As the article points out, nearly 2% of people have some form of ASD. For that to be the case, the vast majority of them have to appear mostly normal from the outside.
>What's up?

Positive on the Z. Fight me.

In all seriousness though, nothing drives me more nuts than asking questions you don't actually want the answer to, or are just asking to fill the silence. It's gotten to the point I ask people if they are really interested in the answer, or are they just looking for small talk,

Generally, I'm happy to talk with people, but I am not a big "small talker", because I'm generally a "communicate to problem solve, otherwise do" type of person. Building a relationship with someone requires over time I consciously build and try to track conversational contexts to facilitate faster, more efficient communication.

The process of doing that requires a significant investment of time not just to speaking, but to listening, building and working through conjectures, and familiarizing myself with how they approach problems, and determining how differently they do so from me

All this information rides along in my head all the time. The friendships and working relationships you build through such a process are unmatched. However, it takes significant effort, and it can lead to some awkwardness when you start actually noticing where the rougher edges are on who you're talking to.

I'm not one to leave a rough edge unsmoothed, but committing to help someone smooth out a part of their character in a way you can actually productively help is also a non-trivial task.

Some level of all of what I've described goes on in every encounter.

This makes people who ask questions they're not really looking for a true and substantive answer to incredibly annoying. It paints the picture of a person using me as a means to soothe their own discomfort with doing whatever they need to do. It's...trying on the patience.
See, I view these as valuable cues as to what's immediately expected.

"Tom, finish that report by Friday" is a command. Commands are useful. Only the most critical objections can be tolerated.

"Tom, I need that report by Friday" is a statement of a requirement and has a minimal opening for a discussion about how to meet your need.

"Tom, can you please get me that report by Friday?" opens the door to more discussion. If Tom has a big problem with getting you the report by Friday, you can talk about it.

"Tom, would you like to write this Friday's report?" --- now we're open to discussion of Tom's preferences, but he's still expected to give them in a respectful fashion with expected context and reasons.
The fact that you have a beef with USB tethering does not refute the fact that OSS usability is generally shit, and that would likely also apply to smartphones. So it’s a choice between “good” and “poor, but OSS.”
The social ritual exists to create and maintain a connection or relationship. We greet each other for the same reasons that other primates greet each other. We don't grunt or bark like dogs but instead now we say some words so we don't have to grunt. The words are not there to carry meaning.

Speech is not merely a rational exchange of information. If you try to understand every speech act in terms of the information content being exchanged through the surface meaning of the words, you're going to be confused by a lot more than just greetings.
There is, but the number of USB classes supported by iOS is limited.

I think implementing new ones is not possible for applications without licensing MFi (which is incurring fees per unit sold, as far as I understand).

The way they are doing it, Yubico doesn't need to pay/pass through that fee on each key sold, but only on the ones actually likely to be used with iOS devices.
Why going debt free though? What's the point of going debt free? The real economy is dictated by production and consumption, not amount of number that you have on the either side of the balance sheet. If going into debt creates a bigger economy by balancing/revitalizing production/consumption, it should be done. The debt gets larger but so does the economy.
It's highly irrelevant and definitely uncalled for.

You need Nitrogen for the amine(-NH2) part of amino acids to build proteins. Co2, water, and electricity does not include Nitrogen.
