Have you tried to get any renovation or building done lately? These industries are completely labor constrained, even if the material is affordable, they won’t get to your job until a year and a half from now.
The X are doing Y thing is always perpetuated by people doing Y who want to claim they’re X.

Personally, the smartest engineers I know are eating an Envy apple. They’re also a bit sleepy. They will wake up at seven tomorrow.
Ugh, I hope this doesn't mean the resumption of giant tour buses tearing through my residential neighborhood 50 times a day.
I made that deal then switched jobs and had an hour commute from my townhome.

WfH means not needing to buy for commute. Buy for lifestyle. Still want to live urban? Get a co-working space.
The world will not have a full scale nuclear war over Putin.

In the cold war era, Russia was the enemy, and any war would have been existential. I do not think that is the case any longer. The enemy now is merely the Putin regime, not Russia and it's people.

It is possible that Putin will use tactical nuclear weapons if he is desperate, but the world will not respond with armageddon, but instead with every effort to remove the regime, and I expect the Russian people will be a part of that effort.

In fact I predict Putin will not last the year as it is.
Yeah i joked with my team the next step will be asynchronous teams where teams could be spread over US and EU etc.

I love my solo lunchbreak walk just to empty my head or just think instead of having to talk or interact with team members.
That's what "redistribute the source of the combined work along with the binary under a compatible license" means. Still calling water wet.

At least until Q4 2021, Google also told large groups of employees not to bother applying for remote, as their request will automatically be denied due to a combination of role / team / organisation / tenure / office location / remote work location.

They may have reversed stance after I left, but I'm pretty sure the "15%" number cited is "15% of people that were considered eligible and had their manager support were declined."
No, they’re ignorant. And the rest of us could use a clue too — I only use Qt with python and would love context on this.
0.1% is huge, but in no reasonable terms can it be called "planet destroying", when it's slated to be mostly eliminated within 6 months with the transition to Proof of Stake. The characterization is hyperbole.

As for the transition to PoS, the first phase of the transition was implemented on December 1st, 2020, with the launch of the Proof of Stake Beacon Chain. The Beacon Chain has been running without problems for over a year now.

The testnet for the second phase of ETH2 - which is when the execution chain is merged into the Beacon Chain so that Ethereum can fully switch from PoW to PoS and reduce its energy consumption by 99.95% - was launched on December 20th, 2021:

The second phase is expected to be completed before the end of 2022.
> If crypto desires to be a serious currency, it needs to greatly improve efficiency and stop being deflationary.

Deflation is not an inherent attribute of crypto currency. Only some of them are deflationary, most notably Bitcoin.

Dogecoin for example is inflationary. Exactly five billion new Dogecoin will be created and enter circulation every year.
Tokyo builds a lot because they tear down a lot. The average house will be rebuilt after 30 years. The structure is overhead because the second hand housing market is so small…only the land appreciates and the Japanese are still burned out on the 80s property bubble. Completely different from how it works in the west.
from my understanding the US is the only G20 country that taxes citizens living and working abroad. given that I'm not sure your statement makes sense about when you should give up your US citizenship, as you'll still be out of pocket if you earn less than $200k pa.

On the flip side currently if you renounce your US citizenship it immediately triggers a 5 year back tax audit by the IRS and you have to clear your bill before they'll let you renounce.
No, that doesn't really follow. Just because something happened doesn't mean it's optimal. There are many examples in game theory, like the prisoner's dilemma, that showcase this effect. As others have explained in this thread, even a minority of the team choosing to be remote requires others to work in a remote fashion.

You can address this with some level of coordination, hence why making this a team or org decision is win-win for everyone IMO. You will never have to take a job that doesn't align with what you want, nor will most anybody else. Seems like a great outcome to me.

Ultimately, the market will come to a conclusion at some point, and perhaps that will show what the comparative value of in-office vs remote is :)
Thanks. Yeah, our website needs to be clearer on the differentiator. Part of this Show HN was to also see if people "get" what ARGOS does.

Right now the path only takes network into account (no, we do not look at flow logs). Lateral movement via IAM roles is on the plan for next quarter.

Absolutely true. Who works those jobs though? huge percentage are not americans. In SV, over 75% are not American.
Research: ‘Ukraine war costs Russian military €20B per day’
Many other Western countries offer equally powerful passports and an equal or better place to return to. In contrast the US is one of only two countries that taxes foreign citizens' income earned abroad, and the FACTA requirements are completely unique.

To use the article's own example, if you had an Irish passport I wouldn't see a lot of reason to keep hold of a US one (unless, of course, you did want to live or work in the US) - sure, in the event that you suddenly want to go to Equatorial Guinea some time, it'll cost you $200 and a bit of bureaucracy. But you'd make that back in the first year or two of not being subject to US taxation.
For visa-free travel you definitely can't beat the US. That's a compromise one has to weigh here. Most places that have good value in the areas outlined in the article, like the Caribbean and some African islands, have less than great visa-free travel access. This can be potentially be relieved somewhat with additional residency permits but it takes some serious consideration of your travel needs/wants.

Presumably they are easy to spot due to the mass emigration.
People are too proud of their caste. If they are asked to self assign a reservation eligible caste, they won't do it. The general caste people will never do it and the constant attacks on reservation will dim down.

Agreed that there is a need of support system. Disagreed on making the denominator racial, religious or cultural. That is particularly evading the root causes in my opinion.
I have found working remotely 98% of the time during covid has MASSIVELY improved my output.

1) I can start work 2 hours before i normally do. I can skip all the "getting up from bed and get ready". I literally work until noon in my underwear. Then i usually go for a 30min run and get a shower and lunch. I also save 2 hours per day commuting. I save a shitton of money on expensive lunches too.

2) The "can you check this, or could i have a list of that" annoyances have all but vanished. People (usually manager kinds) have actually had to dig up their own stuff and do some work themselves.

3) As i work MORE effective hours from home i sometimes take fridays off and just do my thing. I'm always way ahead of schedule.

I firmly believe the "in office nine-to-five" kind of work is in the past. It's a legacy way of working and it has proven to be very unproductive compared to remote work.

(PS. As most of you guys i'm in the software industry, so i cant speak of other fields of work. My points are purely my own discoveries and strictly related to software development)
Yep, I have loads of stuff running atm and most native looking thing on my Windows desktop are Notepad++ and FreeCommander. VScode - no, Intellij IDEA - no, any of the chat apps - no, Firefox - no, Lightroom - no.
Does it bother me - also no.

Native look has lost its meaning long time ago.
Some Googlers might choose to live like that - but I don’t think they can make Googlers give up their entire lives to work.
Wow, I never would have pegged Google as the one to go this direction, they used to be such a progressive company, now they’ve thrown in their hats with old fogies JPMorgan, Citibank, and Goldmen Sachs. Is this the part where we start rueing?

The easy answer: It doesn't matter.

Regardless of what you decide there is a 30,000 person waiting list for applications to be processed. They conveniently stopped during the pandemic and even now are processing maybe a dozen a month (all the names are published in the federal register so you can track it yourself).

Idiomatic C++98 and idiomatic C++17 might as well be two different languages. Using Qt, you'll feel forced to unlearn much of the recent good stuff and code like it's 98-ish. The fact that Qt comes with many of it's own standard types (QString!) without automatic conversion (unlike Qt for Python) makes it verbose and integrates badly with STL types. Then there are still some macros you need to use (e.g. for Connections).

In Python they did an excellent job with all of that.
The US is dead; she was dealt a mortal blow in the late 60s and succumbed to her injuries around 2004. What's left is the slow decay that will take many decades. That people continue to volunteer and fight for the country surprises me but I guess not everyone has noticed yet.
I’m guessing that it’s a relic that isn’t going to give you any extra damage dealing. By Floor 6, if you only have Strikes, having enough energy likely isn’t going to be your problem against Legavullum.
> Hold up, the costs of all these services you mention does NOT come from labor cost.

I don't know if that is actually true, but if it is there'd have to be a pretty strong "and who's fault is that?" to ask. Housing is capital intensive, but medical care, education & child care can all be provided with basically nothing but labour and a dash of equipment.

Assuming a fairly free market where people are allowed to compete, anyway. If competition is illegal then whoever has the licenses will charge wages + a lot.
Well, you're certainly free to work the "old way"

Just don't be surprised when your colleagues leave for more flexible companies that don't feel the need to control their employees like they're in kindergarden
Why are the number of parameters relevant?

The training and decoding runtime and memory consumption are what is relevant. And the number of parameters is not really connected to that.

E.g. I assume this DeepNet with 3.2B params is slower and requires more memory than the M2M-100 with 12B params.

The number of layers are more connected to both runtime and memory consumption.

I just recently learned that even though the MiG-21 models outwardly look quite similar, the plane was redesigned many times over during its long life span, numerous versions and massive build quantity.

I think you’re right, because many employees prefer wfh. But I think for companies and esp startups wfh is a big loss, so that losing some employees is worth it. And if the bubble pops things will change.
That’s not how it works. It’s not like Java’s GCs in the last decade had any sort of huge pauses unless the program did some stupid shit like allocation in a hot loop. (G1GC, the default since 9 promises by default a 10ms max pause time and it can uphold that under crazy conditions even — and even after that it will get progressively slower instead of a huge increase)

Java’s GCs are the state of the art, if they struggle with a workload then it is pretty much guaranteed that other GCs have already broken down completely at the fraction of that.

Regarding your application, did you check how many objects have you allocated? VisualVM and the like can show you precisely the statistics of your allocations.

Based on the documented cases of psychotic break and the number of people who meditate, the odds are approximately a million to one in your favor of getting some benefit out of mediation vs. a psychotic break.
There's plenty of reason to be worried about a war in Taiwan. Heavy casualties, potential for nuclear escalation, the sanctions, and the loss of manufacturing and trade would be felt throughout the world heavily ( unlike Russia where it's mostly the Russians feeling them).

Hopefully the Chinese government is paying attention to Ukraine and relearning a lesson that they should have learned while studying the Napoleonic wars - a dedicated population is impossible to subdue from an invader. And hopefully they do realise, they will be an invader regardless of the history between the two entities.
Sounds reasonable but I highly doubt that this is the reason for lower pay in low cost of living locations.
Interestingly, Transformer has already used residual connections before. The new part here is to actually not use the standard residual connections anymore but normalize after every layer (including the residual connection), and also have a factor on the residual connection. So you don't have a direct pathway anymore.

The argument is that otherwise, the gradient magnitude for the lower layers becomes too big. Which intuitively makes sense, because due to the residual connections, all error signals from the upper layers will end up at the lower layers.

I wonder why this is apparently not a problem for ResNet.

Neither does the sum of returning and new users. They at least point out that the definition of "new" being "didn't let us do a cookie" (plus other stuff) explains some of it.

I find the whole thing of metrics measured this way, as pretty bogus. I trust their long URL clickthrough tracking. I don't trust much about breadcrumbs and cookies otherwise
Digital nomad? I had to check that from wiki. You still need to physically reside somewhere. Maybe securing that first and then worrying about tax burden?
Walking or biking to work is quite nice for me when I live close enough to work. A good friend of mine loves her walks home from work, as she's told me many times.

When I've lived train distance, a 20min commute has been quite fine. I'd say neutral, which is sufficient to make the point.
Oooooohh... now I get it. I thought they were closing all but their best-performing stores.
This sort of thing comes up now and again, and all I can really say is: don't harm yourself by doing this incorrectly or without the proper support. If you're meditating intensively like a sesshin or a retreat, you really need some kind of experienced teacher or access to a proper community to help you deal with this kind of stuff.

I am a practicing buddhist of the Zen variety, and I certainly couldn't do a 10 day vipassana retreat, even after actual years of practicing staring at a wall. People who expect to be able to do this kind of stuff, with a 'teacher' that got his/her credentials by sending off 500 dollars to deepak chopra without such things happening are misguided at best and being taken advantage of (read: suckers).

There are no shortcuts, look after your health, don't overdo it. Don't pay charlatans.
Google spent 2 decades raving about the office, its perks, the "slides", how it re-creates the campus environment. Google made the office a huge part of its identity so this shouldn't be surprising.
The problem with history lessons is that pictures are b&w and static so it seems like it was all over long time ago and now we are OK.
The problem with Iraq and Syria is that they are over there where wars always happen so it's nothing unexpected to westerners (whose governments probably had a role in starting those wars).
Even Yugoslavia was 30 years ago and back on Balkans so who cares (I am from there and I do care).
With Ukraine at least some Europeans are now getting an idea how bad war is but I suspect a lot are still ignorant and cheer for fighting to continue until "victory".

THERE IS NO VICTORY FOR REGULAR PEOPLE IN THESE CONFLICTS. THEY LOST EVERYTHING.

It seems to be impossible to explain to most people that war is bad for them and the only people who "win" are the politicians and their rich sponsors. I will count myself lucky if I manage to die before we get into a nuclear war.
This can't all be explained away by marketing. It matters, but status concerns are an ancient and primal part of human beings and is a central motivator of behavior.

Marketing exacerbates the issue by priming us for status constantly and muddying the values that would pull us in a healthier direction (i.e. marketing that portrays brands and products in relational terms, like the recent Taco Bell commercials where friends are abandoned for a burrito). But it still would be an issue.

More pressing I'd suggest than marketing is the atomization and alienation of society, where the only way to achieve one's relational needs is seen - consciously or not - as through consumption. A more connected and calm people would be less susceptible to marketing bs, and hypertrophied status concerns would be balanced by the values (and reality) of relating and belonging, and of (real world rather than market) achievement and power.
My Ubuntu box I use for development has all free software on it. Operating system, compilers, browser, presentation editor, all the stuff I use.

All free.

I also develop and give away open source software. The money I make from it is doing things like training and support.

I bet you use Google, Youtube, Wikipedia, Stackoverflow, Hackernews, all kinds of software web services for free.

All this free stuff, much of it best in breed, was inconceivable when I started in software.
One or two of my American colleagues in Berlin got in over their head with the IRS while out there. As the article says, there may be occasions brought on by adverse tax assessments that effectively mean you can't travel home again if you give up your passport.

This sadly was the case for my friend Amy, who couldn't travel back to Vermont for her grandmother's funeral. All because of "trivial" things like money and tax!
Java on desktop in 2022 seems like a lost cause. It's always slow and hogs resources like crazy. A good example is all the Jetbrains IDE's. Try running any of them on a low powered laptop and you end up having a bad time.

My views aren't mainstream, but they are honest views.
> Our top tax rate was 91%. Corporate taxes were over 50%. And yes, gasoline taxes and capital gains taxes were around then, too. The federal minimum wage, adjusted for inflation, was about 50% higher in 1960 than it is today. Make no doubt about it, the economy that preceded/persisted in the middle-class boom was a tax-and-spend economy.

Ehhhh. My understanding is that tax revenue as a percentage of GDP has been relatively flat.

No you're not really if you know what the FEIE is. You don't get taxed on the first $112,000 of earned income this year. It's one extra page you need to file with your taxes. That means no income tax on any earned income up to that amount.

"Income tax" on "earned income" does not include Social Security, medicare/caid tax so you still pay some. It also doesn't cover "unearned" income like capital gains or rent.

I said earn > $200k because I'm sure citizenship is worth at least $88000 per year to most people. You would also need to be very confident that that income level is never going to to go away.

Further, most developed countries where you would be more likely to be earning that much money have tax reciprocity treaties with the US that cover the rest of your earned income.
Housing and pay diverged because we opened the border in the middle of the last century: supply for labor went way up along with demand for housing and other essential services. Combine that with some poor decisions by the Fed and you have high inflation with low wages. I don't know why you think immigration would have any other effect, the results have been extremely clear if you look at historical data.
