This is going to be unpopular but I'll plow ahead regardless: no it isn't. Work is what we do to support our expensive hobbies and because we like nice things.
No, because the Kindle only connects to wifi around 6AM in order to download updates, so it wouldn't be available on the network until then.

It goes without saying that someone proposing we roll back our living standards and give up on the material comforts of the late modern era is going to have their character examined. It is reminiscent of the hazing process for candidates in major democratic roles.

OK, there's lots of gray area here:

1. I suspect you'd have "protection" to use your title as a credential in a relevant professional forum.

2. Most companies also have policies on running for public office, usually because of legal oversight to public procurement or policymaking.

3. Neither of your examples are explicitly "to the media", which is being discussed here.

4. Most companies are thrilled to help you advance your cause and theirs in things like running for public office or industry leadership, and will give you great resources like media training.

5. Straw-men: I bet the company would care if you were running on a policy platform of reducing sanitation in minority neighborhoods, or speaking at a KKK rally.

If these activities have nothing to do with work, then why are you bringing work into it? And if you're bringing work into it, then it doesn't strike me as unreasonable to tell your company about it.

It's not about "being afraid to talk to the press"... that's my point.
I am far more excited by the underlying Wafer Scale Integration moonshot than I am by any AI benchmarks here. I know it's trendy to think there can only be one w/r to the AI Iron Throne but nope, not the case, everyone is writing bespoke code in production where the money is made. Well, almost everyone, Amazon seems to be the odd duck but they're a bunch of cheapskate thought leaders anyway (except for their offers to junior engineers in their desperate hail mary attempt to catch up with FAIR and DeepMind, but... I... digress...).

Which is to say that graphs written to run specifically on Cerebras's giant chip will smash deep learning's speed barrier for graphs written to run best on Cerebras's giant chip. And that's great, but it won't be every graph, there is no free lunch. Hear me now, believe me later(tm).

But if we can cut the cost of interconnect by putting a figurative datacenter's worth of processors on a chip, that's genuinely interesting, and it has applications far beyond the multiplies and adds of AI. But be very wary of anyone wielding the term "sparse" for it is a massively overloaded definition and every single one of those definitions is a beautiful and unique snowflake w/r to efficient execution on bespoke HW.

While I think there should be a legal recourse for these sorts of things, everyone's personal calculus on when to fight and when to move on is going to be different.

Just because there is a legal recourse doesn't mean that everyone is going to go down that road. Companies that don't "do the right thing" ultimately get punished by attrition of employees (and customers) deciding to pick up and move on.
Yep, we're doomed (sooner or later this will take over)

> I really don't want to work at a place that distrusts its workers so much that it forces them to go through diversity trainings and things like that.

So for the sake of argument, if you worked at a company where one of your colleagues was being overtly racist and made another employee uncomfortable, you as a third party would feel "unsafe" by the diversity training that this person would be required to attend (likely not even only for ethical or corporate reasons, but likely also legal)?

Gigadevice is indeed a very funny company.

Yiming Zhu is said to be a youth league cadre. A very opportunistic man I'd say.

He is very different from Chinese dotcom bosses. He has a ton of side businesses which he runs himself, and investments in all kinds of things, but unlike his peers he is not using his company's money, but his own cash.

Given that he is still in the business 20 years down the road while doing things his way, he is really something.

"... where head-of-line blocking in TCP was previously a problem..."

Has anyone ever shared a demo where we can see this occuring with pipelined HTTP/1.1 requests

I have been using HTTP/1.1 pipelining -- using TCP/TLS clients like netcat or openssl -- for many years and I have always been very satisfied with the results

Similar to the demo in the blog post, I am requesting a series of pages of text (/articles/1, /articles/2, etc.)

I just want the text of the article to read, no images or ads. Before I send the requests I put the URLs in the order in which I want to read them. With pipelining, upon receipt I get automatic catenation of the pages into one document. Rarely, I might want to split this into separate documents using csplit.

HTTP/1.1 pipelining gives me the pages in the order I request them and opens only one TCP connection. It's simple and reliable.

If I requested the pages in separate connections, in parallel, then I would have to sort them out as/after I receive them. One connection might succeed, another might fail. It just becomes more work.
I agree with everything you said, but you didn't say anything that relates to medical benefits of THC for any specific use-cases. Certainly CBD+THC has synergistic effects—it gets you more high—but does it relieve more pain, or fight more nausea? Because those are the criteria the treatment is being graded on here.

I'm not skeptical that THC does anything; it certainly does. What I'm skeptical of, is whether marijuana has the particular medical benefits it's prescribed for in part because of THC, rather than despite THC.

Google could solve a lot of problems by essentially firing every VP they have.

It actually became an internal joke where you'd get these emails every 2-3 months saying your manager's manager's manager's manager now reports to a different manager, neither of which you'd ever met or even necessarily heard of.

To be clear, the executive team are ultimately responsible but Google has fallen prey to a lack of leadership (Eric Schmidt, we miss you) and an entrenched swarm of middle management. I honestly believe a lot of the bad ideas Google got involved in (like the DoD ML thing) sprang from over-eager VPs.

There's an old Dilbert strip basically saying that managers reach a point of constant reorgs and responsibilities churn to the point that no one is around long enough to be held accountable for their actions ("oh that was the last guy") and definitely not around long enough for anything to work.

This to me is what Google had become. The reorgs were constant and the leadership was directionless.

The transparency thing here is a big one. There was a culture of blameless and open post-mortems. This probably started to change in the Vic Google Plus era. Dashboards were locked down. There were some pretty (internally) famous examples of post-mortems people found that were subsequently restricted, essentially because they (rightly) made some VP look bad.

One of the most shocking things to me was a story from last year about how accessing such documents could retroactively lead to you being fired. As in Google docs were typically sent around such that if you had the link you could open it and these links might be forwarded to open groups. That's how a lot of things (internally) "leaked".

It’s made in a bioreactor these days using ecoli or yeast.
That too but the work itself serves the general public.

The cutting edge tech is all for what? It’s for everyone to have a phone in their hands..find directions..listen to music..swipe for dates etc. today a farmer in India has a smart phone. It’s democratization of tech. The world benefits. It’s a form of service where you get paid.

As opposed to being a butler for the queen of England.

It’s actually a beautiful thing. I hear a lot of grudges against tech workers in Bay Area from those who aren’t..I always point out that the world is better because a hand ful of people make lives better for 8 billion by making tech accessible.

Of course, there will be a cost for this. A price for this. A heavy one sometimes. But the goal is for everyone to live better. Imagine we didn’t have computers 50 years ago. How far we have come...
> The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW 2016, Begg 2007) has estimated that about 3000 deaths (equivalent to about 28,000 years of life lost) are attributable to urban air pollution in Australia each year (Figure ATM29). [0]

Ouch. That is bad. It does require a response. However it is close enough to normal that it wouldn't change any rational decisions about our energy mix. This crisis is small enough that we only need to respond to the threats directly, without winding in a decarbonisation scheme that doesn't actually do anything.

...which is precisely why hospital food is just as processed as drugs are, to remove those variables.

Doctors know there's a certain number of X-factors a patient can't avoid (like e.g. eating food from random sources if they're not under in-patient care) but they don't want to introduce new ones if they can help it.

Another analogy: a doctor will never prescribe you "a supplement." They might tell you getting more vitamin B in your diet would be good, but they'll never tell you to go out and buy a vitamin-B complex supplement. If they think you really need vitamin-B in a pill, they'll prescribe an actual big-pharma-pipeline-produced pill containing vitamin B.

Why? Because who-the-heck knows what's in the random supplement you bought off Amazon is why. If the pharmacy says they got a pill from big-pharma mfgr X, and mfgr X says they produced it (and the FDA endorses mfgr X), then that's a chain of custody and a chain of responsibility that holds them to account, and so ensures that there really is vitamin B (and nothing else) in the pill. That means you're not getting any extra risks just from taking the pills, beyond some weird interaction between you and vitamin B. Whereas, those supplement pills from Amazon? Nobody checked those. Your doctor does not want you to take random unchecked pills that may or may not contain vitamin B, and may-or-may-not contain lead/mercury/cyanide/whatever. They want you to take pills that certainly do contain vitamin B, and certainly don't contain those other things. Thus, prescriptions; thus, pharmacies; thus, the FDA itself.

Clever! I'm stuck on a problem right now as well, I'm trying to boot an old server (Supermicro, dual CPU) to verify something and for the life of me I can't figure out what is wrong with it. It doesn't do anything when you power it up, even the power led on the board doesn't light up. Forcing the powersupply to 'on' does light up the LED but the system still won't boot. Already put a fresh 3V cell in it, stripped it down to the bare minimum, all jumpers in default positions, no go. And it worked perfectly fine the last time it was shut down. Highly frustrating these gremlins.

Extracts:

The machine would use a Dyson sphere to collect mass, separate out helium to push the sun, and fire hydrogen at the sun to avoid crashing into the sun.

It could push the Sun at a speed of about 50 light years per one million years.

Matthew Caplan from Illinois State University designed the machine at the behest of Munich-based YouTube channel Kurzgesagt. The channel then created a stunning video to illustrate the device, which it dubbed the Caplan Thruster, and a paper Caplan wrote describing the machine has also been published in the journal Acta Astronautica.
