When I think about it I certainly wouldn't want to have my family live through it.

But I would like to ... see what happens. Maybe try some effort to record observations and such, bury it in the hopes someone finds it. It might be horrible, but I can of course end it at anytime if I wish. I would not expect any kind of comfortable long term survival.
This is addressed right up front in the book, interestingly enough.

> "While working with hundreds of Americans building expedient shelters and life-support equipment, I have found that many people at first see no sense in talking about details of survival skills. Those who hold exaggerated beliefs about the dangers from nuclear weapons must first be convinced that nuclear war would not inevitably be the end of them and everything worthwhile. Only after they have begun to question the truth of these myths do they become interested, under normal peacetime conditions, in acquiring nuclear war survival skills. Therefore, before giving detailed instructions for making and using survival equipment, we will examine the most harmful of the myths about nuclear war dangers, along with some of the grim facts."
I thought the whole idea of cultural appropriation is that it was disrespectful of the culture that is being appropriated and is something done against the wishes of memebers of said culture.

You’re right, you’re not going to be %30 more productive in a private office. You will be %100 more productive.

In some cases, %300.

That you are willing to sacrifice %70-%80 of an employee’s productivity to save %15 of their salary shows the problem.

That you don’t realize it is because “management” is no longer drawn from those that do. Instead “management” has become clueless MBAs who can't do either job.
That's... kind of the point. Building your stabilisers with heavy weights only can be risky (especially if ego comes into play). Implementing accessory exercises to build stability / balance / flexibility alongside your heavy lifts is a great insurance policy for beginners.

I had a new A/C installed in my house a few years ago. The technician asked for the wifi password so that the A/C could connect. He was very puzzled when I laughed and told him no, the A/C has no need for the Internet. He went on and on about controlling the thermostat from an app...and how the date/time would always be in sync.

At first I got very concerned that it was required, and was preparing for a very unpleasant conversation about how they would have to replace it with a different model. Fortunately, it was an option...that year.
I'm sure states have an interest in these backdoors but I don't know of evidnece they're directly involved with it yet. It would be a natural fit as you say of course.

> Technically yes, you were right, there is a chance for us to intercept the communication between PCH and the Intel CPU then reverse engineer the protocol or even directly RE the PCH chip and create a substitute. But how practical, I don't really know. Firstly, the effort required is beyond most people can afford IMO. Put those cost/effort etc. aside, there might some undocumented CPU features actually need ME to work and if I were the designer, I would at least use signed if not encrypted payload, then make the RE process much less likely.

Well, yes, but I see this more as a project that would show up at DEFCON as a hack or maybe something commissioned by System76, Purism, Raptor, Pine or one of these companies.
Actual project work solving actual clients’ problems in an area that matches your probable future employment. Consider doing something for free (without deadlines) just for experience.

Client problems are typically very different from exercises in compiler or rendering architecture, or whatever, unless you happen to be striving for those exact niches, which just might be a pipe dream unless you’re spectacularly talented in abstract problem solving in low-level languages on multiple hardware platforms and capable of furthering those technical niches in some way that someone benefits from enough to keep employing you.

I don't think most management are that experimentally minded

One quote which stood out in the article was: "hire smart people who get things done, and get the hell out of their way"

I think many people are "interested" in novelty.

https://www.lehmiller.com/blog/2017/4/28/why-we-crave-sexual...

There is "interesting", "novel" and "not understood" which are related but not the same thing.

In projects I think one should budget novelty. If you understand the domain (understand the problem) then it is not so risky to use a framework, languages, etc. that you don't understand.

If you are unfamiliar with everything, however, you have a tough slope to climb. Sometimes you have to do it. To work with ISO Common Logic you almost certainly have to use Haskell. If you want to code for Arduino you're going to have to work with C or a similar low-level language. But if you can have a choice at all you don't want to use new tools for a new problem.
I think you're just taking general feelings of frustration for humanity's short-sightnedness a tad too seriously, I've yet to see any group wanting to organize the demise of humanity based on what usually drives those sentiments, like the destruction of nature or cruelty towards animals and humans, in comparison to, say...

>As another comment said, if the unvaccinated were willing to stick to their "ideals" and die at home instead of an ICU bed, I would be a lot more amenable to arguments against mandates.

This argument falls flat when we do not require mandatory weight loss from other citizens. The point of the vaccine is not to protect oneself from taking up an icu bed, but to protect other people.

There is also evidence of Pakistan sharing nuclear weapons technology with Saudi Arabia.

Twitter suspended 12 of my accounts, most of them bot-accounts and some belonging to community organizations with no explanation only because I had all of them under linked on tweetdeck against my main account.

They un-suspended most of them after few months of follow-up emails (and no human response) and then the automatic suspension happened again after a few weeks.

I have given up on Twitter as a development platform, and instead prefer running these bots on open platforms such as RSS now.

If Twitter wants to do this right, they must ensure that there is a clear guideline for developers to follow and fix their bot detection algorithms to avoid stupid stuff like this.

No, when you were a youth enough people were vaccinated that the RE dropped to almost nothing, meaning there were no breakouts. They never gave 100% immunity.

They were also more numerically effective at keeping people from turning into a carrier, but they had the benefits of decades of tuning.

The immediate impact, yes. Liquidators and residents, no. Not even Soviet authorities really tracked how many were there or what happened to them after. Long term effects were not properly recorded. Everything done since is basically meta statistics on cancer rates and types.
Your theory is that nobody but researchers looking for funding to publish about threats would find these threats? That seems very optimistic to me.
Wow! Im speechless and a bit afraid of what’s to come from the IoT/medical/surveilance industry
I had an office when I was at Microsoft. It wasn't dark or depressing. It was very nice. Throughout the entire Redmond campus, can't say I ever saw an office that was dark or depressing. But with that said, I found the offices made communicating and collaborating harder. This was in the mid 2000s though. Nowadays I think offices like this would effectively be similar to everyone working from home but with the added option of knocking on doors or meeting in a conference room. So in today's world, private offices like I had are probably the best option.
Yes it’s not very precise language, but I believe the implication is death very shortly after, based on how I’ve heard similar language used in the past.

> A vaccine that protects me from getting the virus or getting a serious case

But if the vaccine protects you, and you have it, why do you care if I get it or not? By definition, the only people I could hurt are myself or other unvaccinated people.
Balance is heavily trained with heavy weights as well because now, not only do you have to move and balance yourself, you need to do it with a heavy weight on your back for example.

It's hard to compare the two though because one might day that, in old age, being able to do a handstand is less important than being able to haul groceries along uneven terrain standing up.
How would such a "smart monitor" connect to the Internet? Wouldn't that require network hardware not commonly found in monitors as well as some cooperation from the owner (to hook up the monitor to their network, with unclear benefits)?

> It's been six years since I even had a cubicle. Most offices I've worked in since then had us in barrierless rooms, often kind of cramped, with just enough space for a computer and monitor. Look past your monitor and you see a co-worker. Stretch your arms and you hit a co-worker.

I've worked in this setup for 10 years or so and the last 18 months of working from home has radicalized me against it. It's honestly kind of extraordinary how much better I can focus and get actual thinking work done without a barrage of distractions from a giant room of people moving and talking around me.

Only one of the various offices I worked in with this setup even had a vaguely correct approach to it–the main floor full of people was treated like a library where people talked in soft voices and moved to conference rooms for anything more than a brief word.

Everywhere else has been a worst case scenario of salespeople pacing around on calls because all of the phone booths are full, engineers rolling a whiteboard over to their desk and having a planning session because someone kicked them out of a conference room to meet with an important client, groups of people standing around chatting waiting for someone to join them for lunch, etc etc ad nauseum. Never mind the weird sensation of people being able to see your screen all the time and wondering who is walking behind you seeing what you're doing.
Yeh maybe, but I still find it really useful for laptops, especially if you intend to use it as a desktop replacement
This argument implies that we should start mandating mandatory weight loss for the obese. The vaccine is about protecting other people, not hospital space.

Because the context is American office settings?

Look I don’t make American culture, I’m simply pointing out how a huge chunk of office workers will perceive it.

Anyway, I can tell people can see this perspective, but want to pretend it’s invalid because they don’t like it. those against what they call “cancel” culture then reacting to opinions they deem unpopular by downvoting shows they don’t care about the principal of what they call “cancel” culture in general but only care that what they are used to is being “cancelled”.

Has anyone tried googling the term to see what comes up? Many posts explaining or talking about why the term is problematic. People downvoting are trying to ignore facts they dislike, but that doesn’t make facts go away.

The semantics of "AI that can write its own computer code" is hurting my head. What is the line between an "AI" code generator that inputs natural language and outputs code in a high-level software language, versus a high-level language compiler that inputs structured instructions and outputs machine/bytecode? At some point, these "AI" / autocoding systems are just a higher level of code abstraction, right? If you showed a modern python script to an assembly developer from 1975, they'd probably call that a code-generating AI. Or am I missing something?

We have always relied on destructors fully as much as we do now. What is new is that we hardly ever need to write one, anymore, or even to declare one. That is a consequence of a more mature standard library.

I wonder now whether Ada auto-generates destructors for types with a member that defines one. And whether its standard library is such as to make a need to code them yourself vanishingly rare.
I work in this domain, dealing exclusively with recognition for assistants, which is different from dictation. We measure three things, top down:

- whole phrase intent recognition rates. Run the transcribed phrase through a classifier to identify what the phrase is asking for, and compare that to what was expected, calculating an F1 score. Keep track of phrases that score poorly: they need to be improved.

- "domain term" error rate. Identify a list of key words that important to the domain and that must be recognized well, such as location names, products to buy, drug names, terms of art. For every transcribed utterance, measure the F1 score for those terms, and track alternatives created in confusion matrix. This results in distilled list of words the system gets wrong and what is heard instead.

- overall word error rate, to provide a general view of model performance.
Random looks really cool. I hope I can play it on Linux via Proton.
It is an interesting question how various countries would turn out after a big civilization reset like a nuclear war. Seems like it would likely go the feudal route with the cruelest warlords rising to the top in various locales (pretty much like narco-lord ruled Mexico). How would the United States turn out? Would the Ohio valley turn into its own kingdom? Texas its own? All of Northeast probably. I wish there was historical fiction along these lines.

I'm not sure why this was posted, although the nuclear risk does currently seem higher than in the last couple of decades, with China eyeing Taiwan, etc.

OTOH, nuclear war might halt the climate crisis, over-population, etc.
