It is my observation that most people who object to having a boss in reality only object to having a bad or incompetent boss, and would happily follow someone who is head and shoulder above them. The youthful rebellion is a part of the process of finding a worthy boss, or becoming one in the process if all else fails.

When an industry expands quickly more people have to rise to the challenge of becoming new good bosses because the demand for good bosses outstrips existing supply. In addition, old good bosses retire rich mid-career, depleting the stock. In this situation you may find yourself thinking there are no good bosses at all, and you're the next King Arthur. Which you might be - someone has to be.

When an industry grows slowly the stream of retiring good bosses is matched by the ascenders, maintaining an environment saturated in good bosses.

When an industry stagnates the good bosses retire and their places are taken by the peace-time bosses, people who learned to follow in footsteps of the elders but never learned why. They will mostly be bad bosses due to lack of experience in making errors and for lack of selection pressure that would push them against their own errors to select the best.
I used the 4000 for a number of years, but found that it was causing problems in my right shoulder. The reason is the inclusion of a full numpad makes the keyboard so wide that your mouse hand has to sit really far to your right, causing your shoulder to be in a position of constant rotation and eventual strain. I eventually took a hacksaw to it to remove the numpad, which improved things - but it was the main reason I preferred the successor (sculpt) as the numpad is a separate detachable piece. These days I'm a split keyboard ergodox weirdo because it lets me put a trackpad in between the keyboard segments which means my shoulders can stay in a neutral position the whole time
They're using Telegram. Not Apple's platform. If Telegram was a Windows, or even a web app, should Microsoft be threatening to block Windows users from being able to access the app or even website?
Is this about that? I always thought it was more an exercise in pointing out that other life in the universe may not be recognizable as such. It's hard to imagine such a thing directly, but the story gets us to the border of it by flipping the tables and presenting Earth Life as unbelievable to an undefined alien POV.
> if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Agreed, though I also add "unbearably slow" as a form of being broken. Whether you view this as the cost of running newer software/webpages with fancier animations, a collective form of donations to developers using less efficient languages/frameworks, or an externality pushed onto users by the ad industry may vary.
The makers of the Ergodox EZ (it's open source so you can get Ergodoxes from various sources as well as build your own) also make the Moonlander, which is a step closer to the Kinesis in shape.

I looked into it as a potentially more mobile alternative to the Kinesis but decided to stick with the Kinesis.

I'm hoping if my current keyboard ever dies Kinesis will have a new QMK-based version that comes in two halves, or that the Dactyl Manuform becomes something that you can buy a solid transportable version of.
It may be considered a best practice to avoid creating new encrypted volumes with unrecorded passwords, moving all of your data onto same, then sending the passwords off to some C&C server.

Loved @mklovenotcyber's optimization down thread[1] making the one-liner's password generation routine even less verbose, from the original:

head -n 1024 /dev/urandom | strings| grep -o "[[:alnum:]]" | head -n 64| tr -d "\n"

to the terse:

head -c 47 /dev/urandom | base64

Newer GPS chips are downright magical. Several years ago, I had a 5-series Ublox get a signal when, as a joke, I soldered a trimmed stub of paperclip to its antenna pin. No tuned patch antenna, no polarization sensitivity, no preamp, no SAW filter, just a piece of wire that I eyeballed to be roughly probably something like a quarter-wave at 1.5GHz. Ish.

It got a fix in about 3 minutes, indoors, on a workbench, under 2 shelves of equipment and parts, in a part of a building with a double roof.

And that was the 5th generation chipset. We're on the 9th now, and they're much, much, much more sensitive.

All the habits and assumptions I learned with my 2002-era Garmin eTrex no longer apply.

I've also stopped buying at Amazon after 15 years. Even consumables and small items are problematic. Just in the last year, I encountered many issues including:

* Showerhead that came without box, and clearly used. It still had a lot of water inside!

* Underwear from a brand that sells items inside a sealed bag and discards returns came used, without bag (yuck!)

* A module of Samsung RAM had visible wear signs and didn't work

* Cycling glasses came without box and several missing items

The underwear thing upset me so much I emailed Jeff Bezos. After lots of emails forwarded around, nothing happened.

It's sad because they used to be good. But the number of returned and counterfeit items sold as new is mindboggling.
Rhetorical question: if the returns are unsellable, why don't they give them away for free to the poor?
Perhaps the aliens are not edible.
> Apparently destroying and dumping it’s the easiest and least resource consuming way to deal with returns.

They used to routinely ask the customer to destroy and dump the items, which was certainly less marginally costly. (If it encouraged more abuse, that cost is borne by other business units)
Non-violent protests didn't work too well against the Nazis. There are exceptions to every rule.
I hear ya. The point I was trying to make is that some private/public consortiums that appear to be regulatory institutions are mostly marketing associations. A quick check is to see if there is a large fee associated with joining and if the largest part of the association's budget is marketing/advertising.

Maybe I'm being pedantic but what bugs me is the 'C' in CNCF. The CNCF is mostly/all 'K'ubernetes specific which is a subset of the software that targets 'C'loud Infrastrture-as-a-Service. The term cloud-native has lost some meaning, at least in search results.

Everyone works for someone else, but at a certain level both of organizational standing and (for lack of a better way to put it) moral fluidity, you become invincible.

CEOs only answer to shareholders insofar as they're expected to deliver a profit, which is actually very easy to do because most business "profit" is actually rent-seeking derived from resources (including intangibles) the business already owns. You have to be incredibly hubristic to fail as a corporate CEO. It's an easy job.

That's not true for small companies. Startups are harder, and startup CEOs are basically middle management within the "hive company" of venture capital. The true executives are the VCs who float from project to project, careers and fates diversified, and can peel their names off anything that looks like it's going to fail.

In big companies, though, most CEOs would do better not to show up, except once a quarter to give a speech or something. All they do is fire people, producing churn, and get in the way of the people who do the actual work. They can only fail if their egos get the better of them and they get so hubristic that they break something that used to be working. The same is mostly true of executives in general, although they have a little more vulnerability insofar as (a) if their bosses screw up, they may end up eating blame, and (b) if the CEO screws up so bad he himself gets fired, they'll probably also be replaced during the regime change.

If no one in an entire country is willing to accept $X to do $Y (in any location), the business needs to increase $X. The whole point of hiring an employee is bc $Y represents more net business value than $X. If $X > net business value of $Y, the business shouldn't be hiring for that role.

Businesses love these H1B visas because overseas candidates are willing to accept less $X since the visa represents significant value to them, but barely costs the business anything (before the recent changes). This results in artificially holding down $X for U.S. citizens, so removing incentives for businesses to take advantage of this is a good thing.
I cannot fathom paying significantly over $100 for a phone, especially one you carry around all the time and beat up and will be almost worthless in a couple years even if you treat it very carefully.

This policy will encourage outright outsourcing of jobs and remote hiring, especially coming now as companies just got more comfortable with employees working 100% remote because of covid. The side effect will be the US economy losing on taxes, economic activity and hiring activity caused by extra people with high paying jobs.
If you had a study showing that in over 300 carpentry projects hammers were used twice as often as screwdrivers, would that convince you to hammer in a screw?

My point is that violence may not be a good fit for every situation, but that doesn't mean it never is. Gandhi was an effective non-violent protester, against the British in Africa when backed by large numbers. How effective would Gandhi have been protesting against the Nazis?

I don't know anything about Belarus, so I don't know anything about what is or isn't justified, it just seems wrong to me to suggest that violence is categorically less effective. Political violence is a tool and like any other has moments where it should and shouldn't be used.

Yes, I think this is one advantage of iOS that allows people who use it with confidence and not worry too much about clicking the wrong thing.

It's why I like(d) Linux and Mac OS X (macOS) as well: I can set up my parents with a non-admin default account on their system and not worry too much about them hosing things too greatly (especially with off-machine backups). Windows caught up with that paradigm eventually.

If sideloading comes to iOS I hope that a similar mechanism is introduced: not just "please confirm" dialogue and/or Touch/FaceID pop-up, but a separate 'login'.
This became apparent to me once I learned a Turing machine can compute anything λ calculus can and vice versa. Is this also also a conclusion you can reach by thinking about computer hardware? Would love to hear more about the thought process.
Hey Siri, find John Searles Chinese Room argument.
OpenAI's need for these types of "closed" deals is driven by the fact their technology is fundamentally dependent on data & compute infrastructure that only a few organizations in the world can afford. It doesn't matter how many white papers they publish making AI "open" if it costs $100Ms to train & deploy.

You could do more to make AI "Open" by working on semiconductors to bring design, test, and fab costs down by orders of magnitude or working on modeling which drastically reduces training & data requirements.
> Yeah, I don't see how this is different from Twitter taking down a tweet which doxxes someone.

No, this is Microsoft telling Twitter to take down that tweet, because they have a Windows app. Or threatening to block access to the app or twitter.com.
Fine, but two things are happenings:

1. It’s being hidden from consumers, who might adapt their behavior if they knew a return meant the trash.

2. Stuff is shipped back to amazon and then disposed of.

I remember years ago the behavior of groups in Solaris was quite different than in Linux or FreeBSD. Some standard functionality required running newgrp in order to be able to execute a file based on fs permissions. It was very annoying.

This was 20ish years ago, so I have no idea what the behavior of now.

right now, thumb keys are mapped to space/tab and backspace/enter.

It's a tempting prospect, but I'm hard-pressed to sub-out any of those for modifiers. Maybe I can make it "hold enter" or something like that, but that seems like a dangerous prospect
This is really why I hesitate to buy clothes through Amazon, even though I wear a size that they have in stock easier than Kohl's or any of the other department stores (plus, I'm in the middle of losing weight, so I'm in between sizes). It's quite frustrating, especially with fitting rooms closed currently in my state.
Well deserved. Love the simple animations (it reminds me a bit of Khan Academy).
I don't think Apple has the strength to tell the US government to back off, and I don't think Americans think so either. When Apple goes through the American legal system, that's the power of the American judiciary.

I'd like to see Amazon start a lend/use program like auto parts stores. I guess they would have to verify tool functionality though, which can be expensive.
I used to work for Nordstrom who has an even better return policy than Amazon. For certain items, like women's dresses, return rates were up to 80%.

Part of this is because people will buy several sizes of the same item and return the ones that don't fit. The other part is people wearing it once then returning it.
Perhaps they've been growing their meat without consciousness in petri-dishes for many thousands of generations and have forgotten the organic origins of meat. Or perhaps most meat in the universe just actually consists of very simple organisms not thought to be conscious (the Great Filter [0] theory considers the possibility that simple life is common but complex life is rare).

I think the even bigger issue than something like GPT-3 is how inaccessible a lot of these ML techniques are without huge datasets that are only available to huge companies like FAANG and social media companies. While Twitter is definitely not the best site for a lot of research, it ends up getting used for tons of research because it is one of the only companies that allows others to access even a sample of its data without going through lots of hoops.

I think opening up the models is a good start, but I think it is even more important that we allow responsible use of these huge datasets. I also think that ensuring responsibility probably needs to be done by governments rather than companies since allowing companies to apply a lot of restrictions to data access leads to them cutting access off to everyone. If we need to restrict access to certain data because it might be abused, either the collection of that data needs to be banned for all companies or maybe we need to place restrictions on how that data is processed/used rather than restricting its access to a few people.

Wow. I’ve known pg to sometimes make empty statements, but this one takes the cake.

This doesn’t even begin to account for the risk that comes with startups that some people cannot take. When you make $7/hr and do a Bootcamp, and now can be employed by Google, you’re not going to abandon that for a tiiiiiiny possibility to build a successful startup just because “you weren’t meant to have a boss”.

I never see many local companies using Immutability and FP, but my tech scene is smaller than Silicon Valley's. I mainly get my dose of these subjects from the Internet through blogs and videos.

I think both FP and Immutability are tools and, like any tool, they can be used correctly or incorrectly. So the important questions to ask about any tool is:

* When should I use this tool?

* When should I NOT use this tool?

I can't speak too much about FP as I don't practice it and I don't see anyone locally doing the same thing (I do prefer functional style: reduce, map, iterators, etc but I see that as distinct from FP). I can speak a bit about immutability, I'm going to attempt to convince you that immutability isn't a fad, but can be a useful tool when modeling certain problems.

I find a lot that immutability is used to describe two related but different things: const/immutability bindings and immutable data structures. Usually, trying to make small items constant isn't that much of a problem. The problem arises when we start making multiple copies of items containing large data structures. Enter immutable data structures.

Immutable data structures try to provide an answer to the inefficiency of copying large data structures by using structural sharing. In the past, these were more typically known as persistent data structures. Tarjan did a lot of work on this topic and the wikipedia page[1] is quite informative.

Basically, a persistent data structure allows access to previous versions of itself. I like to think of the version as an additional dimension that one can use to solve a problem. Usually this dimension is just time, but it can sometimes be other things[2].

So okay, back to the original questions

* When should I use this tool?
Immutability attempts to make copying the data structure fast. For an example, the RRB trees[3] uses immutability to provide a sequence data structure that can be concatenated quickly. I believe these are the default sequences in Scala and Clojure. You should use them if you require structural sharing or when you require the operations/complexities they provide.

* When should I NOT use this tool?
Most of these data structures are implemented as trees so they are likely to not be as friendly to hardware as a flat array/vector for example. They add a lot of complexity and I have found bugs in libraries that provide these structures. If you don't require the operations or your problem space isn't sufficiently large enough you shouldn't use them.

Anyway, hope I've managed to convince you that immutable data structures aren't a fad and can be useful in many situations.

Same thing here. I've tried tons of different keyboards.

For me, the thing that makes the most difference is a low travel switch and a compact layout. Ideally, ANSI.

I've found Apple Magic Keyboard to be good enough.

Regarding mice, I also like their Magic Trackpad or a Logitech Trackman. It's a shame the latter is not as smooth as the 1990s model.

Everything works great under Linux. Except for Logitech having issues with power saving via USB. But that's a given in all their devices. They should get their stuff together. It can be solved with a udev rule, though.
Levis in particular are just notoriously inconsistent in sizing. At a brick and mortar store you grab five pairs to try on if you want to buy one or two.
First of all, this is good, cranelift is good.

Second of all, it's really funny how LLVM started focused on JIT with emphasis on compilation speed, and now is quite slow. Cranelift started in the same way, and now is gaining more passes and IRs, etc.

I think more passes and IRs is good for clarity, correctness, and programming productivity, and single-pass designs are too brittle since the purpose of all software (the requirements) changes over time.

The solution is we redouble our focus on fusion techniques to try to allow algorithms specified in multiple passes to be fused into a single pass. Then libraries like cranelift and LLVM can prevent a variety of passes, and one has the option to either go for compiler performance, picking only those that fuse or speed of compilation code, picking additional ones that don't fuse.
The one who puts up with the risk doesn't have a boss.

- Investors don't have a boss.

- A founder/CEO who owns 100% of a private company doesn't have a boss. But (s)he is putting up with very high risk, betting on self, and living with the consequences.
It would be great to utilize existing infrastructure. I think everyone understands that. That requires H2 and Direct air capture and Sabatier process.

May work [1], I am not sure about heat recovery part, isn't heat lost in Sabatier reaction?

> Heat from sabatier reaction: 7.2 - 5.6 = 1.6 kWh

> Heat from electrolysis = 1.98 kWh

> Total heat = 3.58 kWh

> If we can recover 70% of the heat is would cover DAC heat requirement.
