I find it really tough.

I jumped from a very successful post-IPO business where I helped form the global organisational culture, and ran a key part of their business, which in pre-pandemic times, was very in-office and collaborative with a lot of travel to keep remote colleagues and teams aligned and socially connected to a much smaller business whose offices are a few hours flight time away, with the whole pandemic WFH thing there too.

Motivation has been a big challenge. Sitting alone in my "office" trying to stay in a flow state for things I'm not sure are that important in the global scheme of things, and trying to batch up my interactions to keep from disrupting colleagues.

Notification channels are diverse and easy to lose track of: workflow and documentation apps, calendar, slack, email as well as texts on multiple channels. It seems like priorities and current work of others aren't easy for me to get a good handle on.

I really like my colleagues but don't know them well. I collaborate relatively closely with a few but mostly feel super isolated. A lot of what I have to offer them as a colleague are hard to bring across without seeming (to me at least!) pushy or rude. It felt different when you were sitting in the same room and could grab a coffee with someone and have a casual conversation about things that were going on or not working out or to ask wide-ranging questions.

Timezones are a bit of a thing, but we span only a couple of hours so it's manageable with a bit of care. I was used to managing teams and stakeholders in Z-8 through to Z+11 in the last couple of jobs so this is pretty easy.

I don't enjoy sustained WFH, mostly on the motivation and peer and stakeholder contact front. I regret that many jobs like mine probably won't return to the office apart from occasional planned visits.
Hello old Google coworker
I had the same setup in Fort Mason in 2004 and was able to get the SF wholesaler to sell to us pretty regularly. Iirc it became a lot easier lately to just find generics on eBay and worry less about getting the hookup. Diet red bull was the holy grail but we found an okay proxy on eBay too.

Ask HN: Should HN users be incentivized to use/visit newest submissions?
I’m a HN user for 10 years, and I realized that I’ve newer used nor visit « /newest » page on HN. I always use the home page, where the top 30/60 upvoted submissions are. Quality submissions can only reach visibility if HN users upvote them from /newest so I wonder if we shouldn’t be incentivized in any way to do so?
I would never have found the game (and played it) without those results being shared. Anecdata, sure, and correlation != causation an all that, but I have to agree.
As I understand it delta boosters have been tested, but were not more effective than a normal booster.

Omicron has only been discovered in November and booster trials are still ongoing.
My four year old just did this to me yesterday. I went through an intersection and he said, "daddy you just went through a red light". I got freaked out because it was an empty intersection but then I saw someone else go through and realized it was looking out the side window!
Subscriptions are an overused pricing model. Businesses love subscriptions because they love recurring revenue. The desire for RR pushes businesses to pursue products the fit the revenue model rather than solving customer problems. Consumers notice their bills stacking up with subscriptions and start to question the value they're getting for their subscription fees.

Some examples off the top of my head:

1. Grubhub's Plus, https://www.grubhub.com/plus

2. The majority of streaming services

3. Stitch Fix's recurring fix

4. Video game industry subscriptions (too many to dig into)

NYT's slavish devotion to a subscription model follows this pattern. They want to get subscriptions so they structure offerings to fit. Compare to a platform like Substack, where they offer a rich ecosystem with just a few different price models. I've believed for some time that news media like NYT overvalue their current offerings and need to innovate. Doesn't seem like they're interested.

Don't take my statement to claim all subscription offerings are bereft of value. Simply that there are so many lazy offerings that subscriptions are better as a signal of waste than value.
Nearly 1k mysterious strands revealed in Milky Way’s center
It helps not to work in ridiculous units.
Power = torque x angular velocity

So in this case let's take the position of the bend, where power goes flat (4000rpm, 250kW, 600Nm):
P=4000 x 2x pi/60 1/s x 600 Nm = 251kW

Seems to be correct.
If you are gaming on Linux you aren't going to use Nvidia these days (or if you are using it, your next GPU won't be Nvidia most likely). AMD and upstream drivers with Mesa have no such issues.

Nvidia was and will remain a mess, I don't doubt that. But they never cooperated with the upstream kernel properly, so it has nothing to do with Linux, it's Nvidia's problem and a reason to avoid them to begin with.

And compute should get unstuck from CUDA too eventually.

Apart from the mass distribution, if you look at a car travelling on an uneven road from the reference point of the car itself, you will see the wheels moving up and down very quickly to keep contact with the ground. My understanding is that adding mass to the wheels will slow them down and thus increase the time they don't touch the ground, reducing the grip.

Our API returns a signature detection percentage. We recommend our users to accept users with a signature accuracy score of over 80%.

What does this means? When you type in the morning or late at night you have a different typing pattern. When you are tired or drunk, you have a different keystroke pattern, but still, our algorithm is able to identify you. You won't have a 90% matching score, but you will still have over 80% signature matching score.

This is why Typing AI's algorithm is better than our competitors.
> A milliliter seems like actually a lot of blood to get into someone else

1 cm^3 is indeed pretty big. That’s 1,000 little millimetre cubes, and we can detect as few as 50 virions in that space!

I will point out though that 1 ml is low for semen (more like 2.5 ml or more).
Yes, I was also surprised to see that.

> With a gas pump, you need to stay with the car while it's filling.

With an electric, you can eat/bathroom/sleep because it takes so long that those things become possible. Yes, you can't sleep in the three minutes it takes to fill the gas car.

I don't stay with the car during fillups on road trips though, I start the fill and run into the convenience store to stock up on snacks and by the time I'm back 2-3 minutes later the tank is full and I can be back on the road.
Gay men living in cities also have many more sexual partners than the rest of the populous.

The men I’ve met who have had 1000+ partners is exclusive to gay men. I’ve yet to meet a straight man who isn’t a celebrity that has gotten anywhere near that. Yet this order of magnitude (100-1000) is common among gay men.

The risk levels for your average young straight man in the west are obscenely low these days. You’ll have sex with maybe 10 people in your entire life if you’re a try hard. Chances are astronomically low for most straights - especially if you practice safe sex until both parties are tested and monogamous.

Straight people aren’t concerned because they’re simply not having that many sexual partners.

Less than 10% of all male HIV cases came from having sex with a woman. Yet men who have sex with women are 95%+ of the population. There’s a risk but it’s really low. And I think it’s even lower now with the ways things are going - straight male millennials and zoomers are having less sex than any generation before it that we know of.

The purpose of the car's suspension - the springs and shocks - is to decouple mass from the wheels. This allows the wheels to travel up and down over bumps and dips in the road surface quickly without large forces being exerted, which in turn makes for a smooth ride and good traction between tire and pavement. The more weight you move from the 'sprung' part of the vehicle - everything that's suspended by the springs - to the 'unspring' part - directly connected to the wheels - the more this is compromised. You can think of the extreme case where you take all the vehicle's weight and move it to the wheels: then it's like you don't have suspension at all and you're bumping and jarring across every imperfection in the pavement. Moving a lesser amount of mass to the wheels is basically a lesser version of that. (Likewise anything you can do to reduce unsprung weight - lighter brakes, wheels, tires, etc. - tends to have an outsized effect on handling. (And on performance in the case of rotational weight, but that's a separate issue.))
Hundreds of thousands if not millions of mom and pop blogs are linking to images, fonts, scripts, etc from various sites. Are you really going to fine them all?
You're basically arguing any link to an image on imgur or flickr or wikimedia is should be fined.
Think about going over a bump. This gives the wheel a strong upward motion. The suspension has the task to discouple that motion from the car. Which is easier, as much as the wheel mass is low compared to the cars mass. Thus the aim is to keep the wheel as light as possible.

The parent theorized there was no way for a 1:1 to be effective because there are no overlapping common goals and incentives between managers and employees. So then I've presented two common examples of how such goals might exist.

I would be surprised to find that neither of these have ever applied. That would seem to indicate that their entire professional working experience has been only ever adversarial and toxic. Just not a great look, especially if you've also been responsible from the manager side.
In Zimbabwe most merchants accept a variety of currencies: namely American dollars, Botswanan Pula, South African rands, and the new Zimbabwean dollar. There are of course more that are accepted. I’ve gotten away on more than one occasion using Euros and pounds. It leads to a gigantic forex black market and pain all around in rather unexpected ways.
Actually, I totally stopped drinking any soda just by replacing it by sparkling water (self made with sodastream). It just worked (for me) and I can’t drink a coke anymore without having nausea due to the high sugar dosage.
> I feel like 128 bits is a lot for address space but not enough for encryption.

Yes, collisions take sqrt(2^128) = 2^64 operations to find on average. Usually 256 bits is chosen to make that 2^128 operations if finding a collision poses problems.

OTOH, limited congestion and packet loss do not affect things much if you have UDP-based event/object updates. With TCP there there is no way to avoid latency due to head-of-line congestion, but with UDP you just drop a message and move on.

I think TCP works reasonably well today because the network is better and there is often very little packet loss, but as soon as you get some, TCP will optimise for throughput, like designed and at the expense of latency.
You're not wrong, but this ability is not common. Our viewpoint is the core to many fundamental issues, which makes us "both right" which leads to endless arguments because we're both optimising for different things.

A really good example is how one "hears" the news. Some people hear "how this affects me", others hear "how this affects everyone else". There's talk of a minimum wage increase, do you think "yay, more money for them", or do you think "my taxes are going to go up to pay for this."

You see this disconnect every time a customer is upset with a business. They imagine that a business optimises for the customer, whereas a business optimises for the business.

Like when a business is acquired and disappears. Users see this as bad, but owners see it as "I got paid".
sounds quirky, no one would use it, I guess. lol
> If you’re the type of person who read the first half of this story and immediately went “Ah, I know what the problem is, the kid’s looking at the other signal!”

I'm that person! :)

But admittedly only because a friend experienced a similar thing when she worked as a kindergarten teacher for three months in Bolivia; a few days in she had a conversation with a little girl who seemed very bright to her in general, but then they talked about how you properly cross the street, and when she asked the girl about traffic lights, she insisted you walk when it's red.

Turned out the town they were in didn't have signals for pedestrians, and since the signals for traffic are positioned like in Europe (ie not the other side of the junction) you had to check the signal for the cars and start walking when it turns red.
Impressive, but they are probably optimizing purely for burst power, not for efficiency, making the trick easier, because the car has an ICE delivering the base power. Compared to Tesla, they have to optimize for both power AND efficiency, because their car is running on sole battery power.

There is/was a Dutch TV show called Lingo that is based on the same game and I'd expect there to be more such shows.

I don't have a mental model for "64 pounds". Apparently, it s the weight of a 9 year old, which would ve been a better unit of measure.
Never saw the point of diet sodas. I'd much rather drink normal coke with proper sugar in it. It's unhealthy, yes - so drink slightly less.

WASM SIMD support only recently started shipping in browsers as well so depending on when the GP did the benchmark it probably wasn’t used at all which is obviously a huge performance problem.
When I say capability I mean the functionality currently exists to do that, it’s implemented and functioning, and the evidence for it existing is not a surprise.

If WhatsApp has the function for Facebook to read messages, then it’s not going to be a surprise when reversing the program to see that code; but if they claim that there is no capability to do that and you discover it then it’s much more damning.

Also; if functionality exists it’s easier to argue for a scope change… much easier than arguing for new functionality to exist.
When sports betting, unless using a betting exchange such as Betfair mentioned above, or a totaliser agency, you'll likely use a bookmaker. The bookmaker is effectively the house. The bookmaker will set a market (make book) of prices on a certain event. You can choose to take the price offered and make a bet, or not. Essentially the bookmaker is pitting their skills and knowledge against yours.

The bookmaker will want all prices offered on the event to be in excess of 100%. The over round is where the bookmaker makes their profit. As an example, in a horse race, the percentage probabilities of all odds offered might add up to a total of 115%. That 15% is the bookmaker's margin.

Now, of course, the bookmaker doesn't necessarily profit in every race, but they should be trying to balance their book before the off, to insure that whatever the result they profit. They can do this by laying off liabilities with another bookmaker, shortening the odds on some runners, or just closing the book.

As a bettor, one should be trying to not just find the winner of races, but also prices which are wrong. If you assess the true odds of an event happening (let's say a horse winning) are better than the prices offered by the bookmaker, then it should be profitable to bet those prices in the long term. For example, if you think a horse has a 25% chance of winning the race, but the bookmaker is offering a price of 6/1 (7.0 or roughly 14%), then you have the odds in your favour and should make decent margin over time.

Do other jobs of comparable death rates have higher pay? My understanding is that there are a number of jobs with higher death rates which aren't typically thought of as like, super "in the line of danger" jobs.

Are those stats wrong? or maybe misleading by focusing on the wrong slice of the population? Or something like that?

Or is the compensation for those jobs more than it is for police officers?

That's exactly what he crusades for; he’s not anti-friction or anti-polarization (on religion or any of his other pet issues), he's a zealous bigot.

There are plenty of non-confrontational biologists. Dawkins doesn't represent “biologists” he represents Dawkins.

> And yes, WASM exposes malloc and free.

No it doesn't. Unless you're referring to WASI, but WASI is not WASM, it's just a common API which modules can call when running on WASI-compliant WASM runtimes.

All WASM itself has is linear memory, and that is not exposed via malloc/free, but via lower level instructions to set bytes on a page and grow when necessary (but not "free"). See the available instructions in the spec[1].
