Yup, agreed.

People on the spectrum aren't generally hard to manage, but they are often managed a little differently. I've had several people to "practice upon" and get better at this. (Someone in a non-tech sector probably will not have this experience). It also helps that I have non-clinically significant introversion and pseudo-ASD tendencies myself and so I'm more predisposed to understand.

I think having a manager/industry that understands ASD and having a job that lends itself well to ASD (things that can be more reasonably self-directed and independent and are not deep in peer or customer interaction) are important things that can help with success.

Honestly I'd just like to see a minimum VAT lifetime tax, when a product reaches the USA it should be charged on value equal to a sane minimum VAT (as value added inside the country is charged) less VAT applied on a per-segment basis in supplier countries. If Bermuda has a 0% VAT and apple is adding 90% of sale value in that country by affixing a sticker... then the US should collect the money Bermuda is leaving on the table - it may not directly benefit US tax payers (since those countries with low VATs may then choose to raise them) but that should help even out the benefit of shipping a bunch of commodities to a random island to slap a sticker on - it'll encourage less globalized supply networks by removing some perverse incentives to ship the item off to every corner of the globe and... we might just help the environment while doing it.
I've found Meetup.com beneficial. It isn't free for group creators but I'm OK with that since it is a lot simpler than creating a Facebook account, pouring through all the privacy and security settings, turning off as many notifications as possible, etc.

For what its worth, I have been running Edge Chromium for the last few months, and when I first installed it I thought it would have a bunch of bugs that forced me back to Chrome.

Nope. Its totally solid, and has completely supplanted Chrome on my Mac, including for web development (it has the same Chrome development tools).

Highly recommended - sort of like the VSCode of browsers in my opinion.

You can detect Lyme in the bloodstream, but it's much easier and hundreds of times cheaper to look for the human immune response - IgG and IgM - with a Western Blot or ELISA. The actual Bb spirochete is so dilute in the blood that a PCR test (costing upwards of $5k) is typically the only thing that will definitively detect it.

The "getting serious" bit is a policy request: why is the federal or state government paying so little attention to an issue that affects and injures hundreds of thousands of people per year?

DRM isn't about them not sending the product - it's about them sending the product and then hijacking the computer I own to prevent me from using the product the way I like.

DRM schemes are anti-user decisions in the sense that users are presented with a choice of either allowing companies to hijack their machines to enforce a subpar experience, or walking away.
I'd naively consider a keylogger to be software that captures your keypresses universally.

I use Firefox and have search suggestions disabled there so I am somewhat sympathetic to their point.

That said, calling server-side autocomplete on a field you explicitly are typing in strikes me as about as sensible and forthright as calling an Amazon text field that takes my credit card number a card skimmer.

I think it's particularly egregious because the part in control while the budget has been broken has classically been the one to strongly advocate for a balanced budget - and will probably start advocating as soon as they fall out of power.

Granted, both parties are terrible when it comes to corporate interest so... they both suck - but one really has a strong tendency to advocate for balancing the books.

I lived 2 miles from the Magic Kingdom for 4 years and I know this world well. The reality is that Disney has a near-infinite supply of starry-eyed laborers who will work for them under virtually any conditions. People come from around the world just to work at Walt Disney World.

Disney always underpays and chews people up. There is no illusion that The Mouse cares about any of its employees at an individual or personal level. Most people will some modicum of skill or self-respect burn out relatively quickly, but the romance of working at the parks means there will always be a long line of comparable people ready to replace them.

If you go in with your eyes open, it's not necessarily the worst place in the world to do a stint, but you need to be aware that Disney does not care. They will always underpay, they will always expect complete and utter control over your schedule, and they will always chew through people with zero regard for the ramifications -- because they can. Most professionals who work there end up taking the job, spending 1-2 years internalizing this, and moving on to greener pastures, often with a massive increase in personal cynicism and a serious reorientation of career goals, but there are some who are so devoted to the Mouse God that they'll stick around indefinitely.

There's a substantial number of retirees driven to Florida for its low taxes, low cost of living, and warm and humid weather which minimizes the impact of common old-age maladies like arthritis. These people are really in the best situation to work at Disney, as the income is understood to be supplemental and the main goal of employment is to stay active, help make children happy, etc.

For employees in that type of situation, Disney can present fairly agreeable terms. For everyone else, there is little doubt that a "career" in the parks is short-lived and sub-optimal (but of course, Disney doesn't really mind, because there're plenty of people left to burn out).

I don't know what the FAA regulations are, but here's an example of how a regulation can incur unnecessary costs:

If the regulation requires hand-inspecting part X and someone invents a machine to inspect part X, you are now incurring costs solely due to regulation.

The above is somewhat orthogonal to my main point. If you inspect something 10 times, then it is marginally safer than if you inspect something 9 times, and so on and so forth. Everything can be made more expensive and safer or less expensive and less safe. If there are benefits of increased spaceflight that exceed the downsides of the reduced safety, and lowering the costs will encourage such increased spaceflight then it makes sense from a policy point of view to reduce the safety.

This is in addition to the point that regulatory compliance tend to increase costs by more than the amount needed to increase the safety (my example of hand-inspecting a part that could be machine inspected is one example; paying someone to check up that the regulations are actually being followed is another).
> Taxes are a membership fee for society

If only you could appreciate that the US was founded protesting a 5% GDP tax rate.
I’ve recently switched from asking people, “where do you work” to “what do you fill your time with each day?”

Most people just tell me where they work and what they do. Some people tell me about other things, and if they are retired or unemployed they don’t feel embarrassed.

Maybe if we all started doing this, people would feel less compelled to tie their job to their identity.
"Most corporations pay the amount of tax they owe under the law" <- That's what the IRS is there to ensure. Legal tax evasion is not a problem in discussion here.

As someone who's visited rural Texas a large number of times throughout my life, another factor has to be food. There's little cultural emphasis on healthy eating. "Work hard, play hard" extends to food. Nobody would think twice about having barbecue with a Dr. Pepper every day. On top of that, a large portion of the available restaurants in small, remote towns are fast-food, which again, isn't stigmatized like it is in more urban areas. The handful of local restaurants will be barbecue and/or tex-mex.

These factors combine to make unhealthy-eating a simple matter of habit for a large percentage of people in those areas. Even if you really do work physically hard every day, it's not enough to cancel all that out.
Yes - all of those work in the canary I have been running for the last few months.

Hong Kong Stabbing: Attacker Asked Victims About Their Views on Protests
Reals have “gaps”, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number#Overview:

”There are also representations like

{ 0, 1, 2, 3, … | } = ω

{ 0 | 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, … } = ε

where ω is a transfinite number greater than all integers and ε is an infinitesimal greater than 0 but less than any positive real number.”

So, ε is a gap just above zero, π-ε a gap just below π, etc.

(The difference is that, when stepping from real to real, you won’t accidentally step on a surreal in the way you’ll frequently hit irrationals when you step from rational to rational)
A charitable and maybe helpful way to look at it:

Lots of other people are just making this up as they go along too. Trying to figure things out in the face of uncertainty and ambiguity. When you get confusing instructions from above, try to help. Not help by demanding they clarify, rather acknowledge they are trying to describe how to make a complex and subtle trade-off that isn’t easily quantified with hard rules. Offer to be their apprentice, to learn from them how to make the same trade-off decision they would make.

Yeah but just walk around Hamburg or London and you'll see equally as many overweight people. Hell, if you look carefully in a lot of developing countries you'll see more overweight people than you expect. I'd suspect it's slowly becoming a global phenomenon.
The two biggest privacy-oriented browsers, Firefox and Safari, have ~10% and ~5% desktop market share[1]. It seems like the overwhelming majority of people do not care very much.

They say they support efficient execution of smaller batches. They cover this somewhat in their HotChips talk, eg. “One instance of NN, don't have to increase batch size to get cluster scale perf” from the AnandTech coverage.

If this doesn't answer your question, I'm stuck as to what you're asking about. They use SRAM because it's the only tried and true option that works. Lots of SRAM means efficient execution of small batch sizes. If your problem fits, good, this chip works for you, and probably easily outperforms a cluster of 50 GPUs. If your problem doesn't, presumably you should just use something else.

Just because it's standard, doesn't mean it's moral. FSF has been speaking about immorality of these practices for decades now. Their point is essentially that as a software creator, you shouldn't do it, and as a user, you shouldn't (for both ethical and practical reasons) subject yourself to these practices.

Landlords aren't going to renegotiate unless WeWork manages to hold back the corporate veil-piercing lawsuits.

There's probably a mile-long line of lawyers waiting for the chance to go after them; most would probably do it on contingency.

I'm fine with people who are unable to contribute putting less in, I'm not fine with people who exploit the system - and before some BS about welfare queens gets injected... I also care about scale, the amount of missed revenue from corporate taxes far outweighs how people below the poverty line are able to abuse the system - right now it even seems like they're getting the sharp end of the stick to support the top earners - rather than the squeeze being on the middle class.

It's nice that open source firmware replacements have been making progress, especially since the Intel ME fiasco, but it never ceases to amaze me that right now you can go out and get a modern, ultra high performance workstation with every single chip running auditable firmware.

Fun fact, IBM is paying large amounts of cash on BountySource for SIMD optimizations of various things for POWER: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/ibm

But ARM is winning again: many things, especially the more user-facing ones, are already optimized thanks to smartphones. For POWER, the TenFourFox author is I think still working on SpiderMonkey's baseline JIT. For ARM (AArch64), IonMonkey (full smart JIT) is already enabled, developed by Mozilla, thanks to both Android phones and the new Windows-Qualcomm laptops: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1536220

Summarized thread takeaways are:

1. Those that WFH mostly prefer to WFH. Not really a surprise. Akin to "Those that like cooking enjoy making food at home".

2. Plenty of personal reasons why WFH working habits should be generalized across everybody because someone prefers it for themselves.

3. WFH works out better when home is already a convenient place to work; not necessarily if someone lives in a 80 sq ft room or wants to meet people/do things in a certain place.
