People aren't arguing with you because they despise people who want to work remotely or even because they don't understand it. They're arguing because you're deliberately misinterpreting why people want to work from the office. You think they're crazy because the reasons you made up for them are crazy. (Enjoying traffic? Bored of having fun hobbies? I mean, come on.)
I would love to know your problems with the post :) If you got spare time feel free to reach out either here or via email or via Twitter, whichever is more convenient
I'll keep this in mind! It is a tremendously more difficult problem though due to all the other instruments (including voice), distortion, etc. in real music tracks compared to a clean guitar signal. This is when you would have to break out the neural networks. Machine learning happens to be my day job so it's not impossible! But for now I'm keeping my target scope small :)

A transmission allows you to get away with using a less-powerful motor. The motor I'm using is about 120 horsepower and has a max RPM of about 8000.

I also like having a stickshift.
I would suggest starting on the experience with typed languages in general first. Starting with the beginning of the Typescript handbook and trying working with things for instance directly in the Typescript Playground. You are going to want all of the basics when writing a .d.ts, and sometimes you aren't going to need much more than the basics.

The other thing I'd recommend is if your focus really is just specifically on writing .d.ts files, and you aren't expecting to use more Typescript directly yourself: get more familiar with and start regularly using JSDoc comments. Typescript in JS mode already understands and can do a lot with JSDoc comments. As I mentioned, it will sometimes give you a fully formed .d.ts if you ask and you have enough JSDoc comments, you'll even get the advantage of some of its type analysis in your project (not as much as if you were writing Typescript directly, but more than just a linter will do). If you use an editor such as VSCode where the JS experience is already backed by the Typescript language service you'd start to see some things almost Typescript-like light up in your development experience as you add more JSDoc comments (maybe even to help explain why you might want to use more Typescript directly).

Remote whiteboarding is challenging.

In the office, we can just make a breakout session and grab a whiteboard and jam something out. We're all present, nobody randomly sounds like a cyborg about to wreck the city, and we can actually get something done rather than have another follow up after someone puts all this into "notes".
To see an analogy here is to see that there is something fundamentally biological about consciousness. But this is very unlikely to be true. For example, we can see how there is something fundamentally watery about rain. And so a rainstorm without water will not leave us wet, thus is not a genuine rainstorm. But what is the analogous biological substrate necessary for consciousness? Searle has never clarified.

But we know a lot about the biology of the substrate of consciousness, and none of those properties seem relevant to consciousness. There doesn't appear to be any fundamental property of neurons that is relevant to conscious experience. The only thing of relevance is its organization and thus its causal or computational structure. But these properties can be reproduced arbitrarily well in a general computer.
Why not take the ride anyway? Just turn halfway and go back home.
For the 20-30 something with no kids who are showing higher productivity working from home, once the outdoor/social life returns to normal, their productivity will drop.

They will want a dedicated office space and discipline of going to an office to reattain that productivity. As a solution to this, we could have lots of satellite offices for people to come in and work but teams are still distributed and remote to each other. This could potentially maintain productivity levels as well as avoid high rents and horrible commutes.

This could work only if everyone is still remote to each other relatively. The moment a few of the team members are co-located in the same office, they start having in-person meetings and can collaborate in person, that stark difference people in office vs people remote will emerge. Then it all falls apart.
Awareness. Are your members aware of the different types of loans you offer? Each member has the potential to become a new loan customer. Make sure your staff is in tune with as many members as possible. Being aware of their financial situations will let you know which loan products to offer. Also, make sure you pitch mobile loan application processes, too. This may encourage shy members to initiate a loan, especially if they are unsure of their credit. They can always come in later to finish.
It would suffice for NVIDIA to open-source enough specifications and perhaps some subset of core software to enable others to build high quality open source (or even proprietary) software that targets NVIDIA's architecture. They can't hire every programmer in the world; if other programmers can build high-performance software that takes advantage of their platform, that increases the value of their hardware.

Your comparison to Intel isn't valid: most software that runs on Intel processors isn't built with icc, and customers have a choice: they can use icc, gcc, clang, or a number of other compilers. The NVIDIA world isn't equivalent.
That's a great idea. I do the same thing as the parent poster, and I've seen lots of email addresses compromised. If it's one that I care about, I will contact the company. (Last time it was Tektronix, before that it was Roku.) They usually deny that it could have been on their end, which is BS because nobody besides them ever had the email address (assuming I wasn't hacked locally). The most common scenario is the insider threat. Some low-paid IT person with access to their database sells the list for a few tens of dollars.

NVIDIA has no ethical or moral responsibility to give their competitors the benefit of software they have paid to develop in-house. It is probably a safe bet that you yourself do not develop your projects under the Affero GPL, and so on some level you agree with this.

What you see as "ecosystem lock-in" is properly viewed as software that you pay a premium for as part of your purchase price, above and beyond the pricing of the competitor's hardware. NVIDIA costs more than AMD because they have to employ people to write all that software, and you are "buying" that software when you purchase NVIDIA's product.

Analogously - Amiga has no moral responsibility to let you run AmigaOS on anything except their hardware. This sort of "hardware exclusivity" used to be very common and widely accepted. Today, Apple has no moral responsibility to let you run OS X on anything except their hardware (the existence of underground hackintoshing is irrelevant here). The software is part of what you are buying when you buy the product.
> All creative software that outputs the level of complexity of a song, video or image is like this. Each has their own algorithms and quirks that end up in the final work in some way. There is nothing uniquely romantic about Logic vs other creative tools.

This has nothing to do with algorithms or quirks. This is about different sounds, the different UX for performance, and the different tools for creating sounds. Whether or not you care about this depends on how you use the software, but many people actually do care about this.

You can, of course, use Logic as a simple DAW to record a song that’s already been written. Write your song, come into the studio, fire up Logic and hit record. It’s more or less interchangeable with other respectable DAWs like Reaper when you use it like this. You might notice some differences between the EQ, compressors, reverb, or other plugins. Most people don’t care.

But Logic also comes with a huge library of sounds and presents a particular interface for sound design and performance that isn’t interchangeable with other DAWs. Compare it to something like Ableton or Reason and you’ll get the picture that different people are using their DAWs in radically different ways at the songwriting stage.

Mid 30's, married with kids, 100% for working remotely, primarily from home, at least 85% of the time.

isn't everyone building front to back?

You firstly establish a purpose of your solution. Thinking the job to be done, the users, the features..

Then you do a design. Likely you have a design team, that does research and creates wireframes or high fidelity mock ups.

Then you establish requirements for the various layers in your stack.

So what I described is a fairly typical process. It is front to back.

Well I hope you're right, but even bloomberg doesn't deny that if all private transportation was to be converted to electric, the resources we have would not be enough. Developing recycling processes efficient enough and in time is nothing more than a bet at this point.

And we are not even accounting all the pollution caused by the production of batteries.

From Forbes[0]:

"The drawbacks of the mining industry itself have weighed heavily against the rise of batteries. Mining rare earth and heavy metals emit large amounts of emissions whilst also having a noticeable impact on the environment. Around half of lithium mining comes from brine extraction while the rest is hard rock mining, which has even more damaging consequence to the environment."

Finally to charge these battieries, we will still be using dirty energy sources for the foreseeable future, since renewables are nowhere near to be enough to stop using coal/gas/biomass.

I stand convinced that the only way we have is to rethink entirely our habits of transportation.

It's cargo-culting physics to assert that there are a set of "high level" laws in some area without having in hand the reductionist mechanics.

This cart-before-the-horse is so pervasive in social sciences, and developing sciences like neuroscience, that it's understandable one would ask why history can't get in on the action.

Did he? He recently said the stock was too damn high, but I guess some investors only followed what Jeff Dahn has been working for the past few years (cf. what Reuters is just revealing but you can learn about his results elsewhere too). They expect Tesla's financials to keep improving thanks to price reduction and performance improvements, while competitors realize they haven't even started to dip their toes in EV technology.

It might be too late for the rest of the industry, but this has nothing to do with the recent stock price (this is about battery technology and production ramp, something that very few journalists/analysts have covered correctly while Tesla kept increasing its lead).
I don't think many people realize that MPG is not a linear measure of fuel/energy consumption.

If an average driver (12,000mi/yr) switches from a 12 mpg car to a 15 mpg car, they save 200 gallons of gas per yr.

If someone who drives the same distance switches from a 60 mpg car to a 63 mpg car, they save 10 gallons of gas per yr.

If someone who drives the same distance switches from a 133 mpg car to a 141 mpg car, they save 5 gallons of gas per yr.

Is there a simple way to check if this exploit has been used on a system?
That is what I figured too. People are rightly concerned about the security implications of this new paradigm of including package dependencies.

These concerns and the conversation around them are good and healthy. Give it some time. People will experiment with what works and over time best practices will emerge for the set of trade offs that people are willing to make.
This works if you stay with the company you were working for in NYC/SF and then transition to being remote.
Compiling Machine Learning to WASM and WebGPU with Apache TVM
My company has ~600 employees with good diversity in age. Our recent survey showed strong support for work from home. The executives have always been against it, but admitted they could no longer say that it wouldn't work. One executive also said he's grown to like it. They've even started talking about allowing work from home on Fridays once we go back. A lot of folks commute from nearby suburbs, so this would be a game changer for many.
I think one should start with whatever extension in the API between front and back is needed. That is the point to make the compromise between the two. On the one hand one wants to make exactly the data that the front end needs available but on the other hand one wants something that makes sense to request to the data. Once one has that compromise front and back end can be developed separately.
There’s a small scale IKEA already in NYC. It’s situated uptown in a relatively high priced area and likely because of that, somehow the furniture and decor looks much nicer. I think it’s the same furniture but somehow through some well planed interior design it just looks nicer.
Pompeo tells China to stop stealing Covid-19 research
I think you are right. I worked on a startup that had a few hundreds employees. Most of them in the early twenties. Every week day, a rotating subgroup of 5 to 10 of them would go to the bar after work. On Thursdays and Fridays there would be more like 30 to 80 people. I was already married, in my late thirties, so I would go home. You could tell everyone was eager to the end of the day. They were personal friends, not just coworkers.

I miss that environment, even though I was not part of the bar tradition (I don’t even drink). I can only imagine how they are feeling about working from home these days.

Remote is not a no-brainer forced by shortsighted employers like the general impression I get from HN. It is an option with serious trade-offs on both sides.
I think it would be fun to futz around with persistent memory but AFAIK it would mean working specifically with Intel tech. Will there be a point in time when I will be able to program against something that's not Optane as well with the same interface?
Yeah, I tend to agree. A lot of young people happily live in group houses; I suspect a lot more would if it didn't mean compromising on floor space or bathroom availability.

But housing prices are affordable in comparison to places that have restricted use in less efficient ways.

"Higher" is a relative term, and the question of what the baseline should be is quite complicated. They are also quite variable depending on what you can do with the land; if use is extremely restricted it can keep a plot of land down in price, even while it inflated the cost of land overall in the market.

Innuendo is not a valid argument against evidence and does not change what Dr Birx said.

Dr Birx is on the coronavirus task force and if she is not a recognized expert in your eyes I do not know who is.

You have the video of her saying it, so your claim this is some lone voice saying something is not a valid argument.

You have no grounds for this claim. Please refrain from unfounded personal attacks in lieu of a reasoned argument on this forum, this is not reddit.
I want to clarify that I never said the ideas weren't worth spreading in the first place. I only raised the question that if, for the sake of argument, we accept the premise that they aren't worth spreading, then why would a media outlet promote the existence of the ideas in order to villainize some random YouTuber? The cost/benefit isn't there if you believe that the ideas aren't worth spreading, since you necessarily must spread them in order to run an article like this.

I'm not familiar enough with the claims made in the Plandemic video, or QAnon for that matter, so why should I accept the blanket dismissal of all of them as "debunked conspiracy theories?" If news outlets think these ideas are worth writing about at all, then they should at least try do so from a neutral perspective.

I agree that not all ideas have the same value, and most of them are worthless, but I will always oppose censorship. Tech companies are not qualified to be information police. It's one thing for YouTube to promote claims made by the World Health Organization (which spread debunked information about human-to-human transmission early on in the plague), but it's quite another for them to delete any ideas that question their preferred narratives. I believe that is more dangerous to society than the spread of mis- and disinformation.

> Does IKEA do smaller-format stores anywhere?

In central Paris, there is one: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ikea-france-store/ikea-op... - I'm guessing it is slightly experimental.

Also, the Ikea In Vélizy (southwest suburb of Paris) only has kitchen & bathroom. It is smaller than a standard Ikea but not city-center small.
IKEA might be into something here. Inner city retail has been dying slowly, never really recovered from 2008 crisis.
There might be an opportunity here opening up. I would assume that commercial real estate is cheaper now (and might be even cheaper in few months with COVID-19), and there is still infrastructure (public transportation, even parking lots) and demand for meeting place (for shopping or entertainment) in city centers.
Curious to see how this is going to pan out...
You are talking about personal reasons that people need more space, which is absolutely true. I am talking about a fundamental shift in how we perform work as a society.

If everyone, all at once, starts working from home and avoiding offices, it is reasonable to assume that some of that office space will need to be re-created in houses, which will increase the necessary size for houses. Things like the average size of a new house and the average amenities people include (an extra office, an extra bathroom, a separated "play area", mesh wi-fi friendly, etc.).
There are "city Ikeas" in several places, at least Hamburg, Coventry, and Taipei. It's pretty recent though.
