After 25 years in electronics manufacturing (< 30 employees, factory closed)and 12 years in IT (>250,000 employees, site closed), looking for a job at 55, I just refused to jump thru hoops and put up with BS. That was 10 years ago and I have no regrets.

I would argue that reading, today, absolutely is punk. When the main-stream is delivered at a sixth grade level, in 15 second sound bites with talking heads or funny dances behind it. . . what is more punk that being extraordinarily well-read?

Indeed, direnv and asdf integrates, such that PATH is set to the values exposed by your .tool-config. This avoids the asdf shim and makes executing the tools slightly faster. Good when you have to run them over and over in a script.
Feature selection ought to be model-specific. Because a feature wasn't selected by Lasso (in a linear model) does not mean it cannot be useful in a non-linear model.
If this insane idea that the sovereign nations of Europe have no agency of their own comes from American "news"-branded edutainment, I dearly suggest you defenestrate your television set. It is clearly rotting minds.
This is just a theory that does not take into account the circumstances of the Russian invasion. In the long term, it does make sense to stop importing oil and gas from Russia to prevent the future aggression, because it will indeed weaken the regime. In the short term, if EU stops buying oil and gas immediately, Russia still has:
1) possibility to export to China and other non-aligned markets (many countries which abstained in UN vote, are the client states which will not support the embargo).
2) enough resources to continue funding military procurement for many months
3) semi-autonomous economy that will survive even total trade embargo with the West, albeit on a lower technology level

The effects of oil and gas embargo will be felt by Russian population earliest by the end of summer, effectively being a punishment rather than a deterrent. We should aim to end the war long before that and stop talking about this and other populist but unrealistic ideas like no-fly zone.
Unfortunately that's just not a standard that exists in reality. That's definitely not the policy of the US:

I cannot edit, but I can see how you could have thought I was advocating '-e', I was not :)

I was advocating the "Hints" article
Broadly speaking, countries are sovereign and can do almost anything they’d like in this context. It is most of the time limited by treaties and trade agreements, so I suppose Russia could make a stink and complain with things like the WTO.

You’d have to dig into the specifics of German law in this case, but this is really unsurprising. Sales are routinely blocked and companies nationalised (with compensation, in civilised countries, though the fraud aspect could change this in this instance).

Gazprom Germania can believe the government is wrong and take it to the courts, but the legal argument seems sound.
Not everyone is like this, but there are a lot of candidates who want to feel like they’re doing something important so it’s something recruiters need to compete on. There’s definitely room for careerists in big tech, although if you genuinely don’t care about “making a difference” you could probably get a better offer from Citadel or something.

The botting makes it more boring, in my opinion, it's just a user count system at that point.

It would be more interesting (in my opinion) if somehow you could get your OWN pixel by being the one who claims it, something like if you change a pixel, others can't change it for 5+x minutes where X increases each time you "defend" it or something.

I love this. Also hilarious.

In my experience, also true in certain cases.

You observe something that is being done a way you would not do it. There is no reason to suspect this is the source of the problem, but you do it the way you think it should be done. Lo and behold, the process works and the problem is gone. In retrospect you can see why, maybe the filename ':/%20' was bad luck, or whatever. Looking at the process, though, it's hard to claim success was achieved by a rational scientific process...

The current research is a valid next step in automation which has always shown to have good ROI imo. I dont think it's very "I" but the algorithms have proven very good at outperforming prior heuristics. this enables automation in areas that have unknowns that cannot be explicitly defined as required by prior tooling. the use-cases it settles into are going to be undeniably better for it, but there is a lot of noise right now with people trying to use it for everything
I understand the SaaS model (after all, if my house burns down, I don't want the inventory to burn down with it), but this is an advertiser's (and a burglar's !!) wet dream. Any current commitments to safeguarding my privacy could be reversed in your future T&C, or you may be acquired (User data included) by a company with wildly different priorities.

How could you convince me that the data will always be properly safeguarded?

Spending time with family, helping others, or just doing anything I really enjoy.

I came to a similar realization about 5 years ago. I was very much a work all the time, climb climb guy. It only took a series of panic attacks and subsequent health anxiety to change all of that. I realized if I'd died nobody would really even remember me or my works, and all my savings (not rich, btw) were for naught.

Luckily, the panic/anxiety subsided, but the self reflection lessons did not. I find myself being a lot more selfless - giving time, effort, or money to people who deserve it, and work way, way less. I'm happy, but I'll never be rich and definitely won't be retiring early.
It's kind of inevitable for coasting to be the norm. There will not only always be a majority of mediocre contributors (I don't mean this as an insult) and most companies don't provide enough incentive for excellence or pressure against slacking off. People just eventually figure out that there's no consequence to coasting, especially when the job is no longer novel to them. And why shouldn't they? The fact that we can coast at work is actually pretty great, and something that wasn't really tolerated in other times. Now we can "check out" and spend at least some of our lives doing things other than being corporate drones for our entire waking lives.
I liked Paolo Bagciaglupi's "The Calorie Man" (which I read in "Rewired: The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology") as an example of this kind of "if we project today's state of affairs 30 years into the future, what is the dystopia it produces?" line of reasoning.

The story is about megacorporations greedily controlling the supply of food via patents on GMO crops in a post-peak-oil society. There's no artificial general intelligence lurking in the electrons to save or doom us, just the consequences of our own choices.
Looks quite similar to me. Both are using canvas (combined with off screen rendering?) under the covers which seems to be key to achieving this level of performance.
However "unreliable" these news sources are, they present a different opinion that is being censored. And since there are just two sides in this war, you can only see just one side of a story.

Samsung has been promising that for almost 8 years now. For some reason they absolutely cannot figure out how to design a proper high end SoC. I'm not familiar with the design of exynos chips but I don't understand how they barely do better than Mediatek. They have control over the entire design of their devices and should have performances that is closer to Apple than it is to low/mid-end off the shelf designs.

Consider on your roadmap a white label option for companies that might want to offer this service to customers (home insurers, primarily, although I'm sure there are other use cases). Longer sales cycle, but more recurring revenue, more sticky, less price sensitive. Charge enough to make it worth your time, but not so much that a non-tech/biz person would try to gather resources together to build it in house.
I used to want this. To do what I like. But when I do that long enough, I get bored.

I am now growing into the business side of technological improvement and although sometimes I hate what I do, I learn something new very often and in the end I am making these small and big changes and get credits I used to get rarely. I feel proud even though some of the work is just project administration.

I remember seeing an SGI Octane [0] at Comdex. I think it was 1997 or 98? I was still in high school, but I remember thinking that it was just the absolute coolest thing ever. When my home computer could barely play DOOM, this thing was just blowing up over here with beautiful video animations that didn't stutter at all. Things my PC wouldn't be capable of until a few years after that. Not to mention it just looked cool. In an era of beige boxes, you had this striking blue cube.

Well it’s hard to accept German stupidity as the official narrative but there it is. Fear of radiation Uber Alles.
I read this a lot, but sincerely have my doubts. Google is a 1.7 trillion dollar company and their real estate portfolio seems to be around 50 billion, which is about 2.5 percent.

Certainly google doesn’t want a big loss on that 50 billion. But I think it’s clear that the success of the remaining 1.65 trillion of the company is much more important.

Rather, management probably thinks in-person work is vital for long term success. If you put yourself into an upper manager’s shoes and think about “googleyness”, it’s probably easy to fool yourself with a bunch of qualitative bullshit and come to the conclusion that remote work is an impediment to building value and should be phased out over N years.

Then all that’s left is deciding the value of N, and how to make the phase-out as painless as possible.
The Saguache Crescent: Last Newspaper to Use Linotype
When I have used this technique, I kept the weights confidential until I had collected the data from teams about their rating of each criteria on the strategies.

Then, I created two conversations. One was about our confidence on those estimated ratings together, and the second was the proposed weights and whose they were, which I revealed after so we could add up what the model provided and have a much faster discussion about whether it yielded what we ought to do.

Nobody wants to be subject to process, but almost everyone wants to appeal to it to get their way, so I wouldn't use this tool to make decisions themselves, but instead to make higher quality ones on teams faster.
there are still many potential points of differentiation on each SoC. For flagships, the cores are pretty much identical, but the cache sizes, fabric, process, GPUs, etc. can change.

For the SoCs being compared here, the new Exynos model has half the big cores of the Qualcomm model.
> Controlling the narrative is only a problem for existing democracies with press freedom.

Doesn't explain why both democratic and non-democratic countries ban press. It's amazing how quickly people forget that democratic countries have banned russian, iranian, chinese, etc government/press/etc.

It's like the same people saying only "autocratic" countries russia ( which is actually a democracy ) is a threat to other nations. When in actuality, 90% of all invasions in the past few decades have been by democracies.

Maybe democraticizing forces is the evil we all should be fighting against because democraticizing forces have done so much damage worldwide. Even though we pretend to be the saints.
This is also the way Resque does it still today: LPOP. Sidekiq OSS just offers parity with Resque, it never tried to solve this problem.
Unless you are a p-zombie, you can not become something you already are. Realize this.
It depends. Before peecee memory architectures got gud in the early oughts, the Octanes were sufficiently better for big finite element codes than Intel based machines that you'd still see them used for that. But it didn't last, and you're right that the writing was on the wall already in the mid nineties. I got a Pentium 90 running Slackware running some less demanding scientific code faster than a pretty loaded Indigo2 in that era.

I also enjoy the art of creating something from nothing and improving people's lives. Observing systems and taking a different angle on things than others have done in the past. I've been lucky enough to be able to do this through my work for most of my life, but there have been compromises to live comfortably. Perhaps when my kids are old enough to take care of themselves I'll give up more material things and get back to the pure state of contributing to humanity without thinking about the financial incentives of doing so.

E.g. Would love to bring joy to people by making a game without thoughts of optimizing monetization. Or form a non-profit in various areas. Or spend years on open source software solving big hairy problems.

But for now I'd rather the kids eat well, be able to travel the country for sports, and enjoy a comfortable life.

My past idea of happiness assumed that happiness was a default emotion that would always be available, as long as your worked hard enough for it. As I got older, less and less things give me emotional response. Even love and heartbreak are patterns I recognize and don't give the rush they used to. For me it simply comes down to, 'help the next generation live in a better world' Take away the self, it's already experienced everything it needs to.
I recommend running Universal Android Debloater [1] on all Samsung devices (I have 2 of them) plus other manufacturers are even worse (e.g. Xiaomi) and the same accept works wonders on them too.

Weird, since human evolution has been historically used to justify racism. Could the opposite phenomenon be more a result of religious thinking having greater prevalence when it comes to how people rationalize their actions?

it does give me peace, it relaxes me to know my son will have food and shelter. That we'll be able to pay for learning resources and fun things. It helps to know that, if things get a bit rough, we will have some money to hold on until things get better.

It relaxes me to know that if any of us get sick, we'll be able to pay the bills... hopefully.

> Gibson himself says that Neuromancer is an exaggerated critique of Reaganomics

The (now-)standard Cyberpunk settings strikes me as, in part, asking "what would it really look like if David Friedman's ridiculous capitalism fan-fic happened?"

His The Machinery of Freedom was published in '73, and was a big part of the Reagan/80s zeitgeist.

well despite that fact that nothing about humans was "designed", humans are quite literally the best long distance runners in the animal kingdom. Its one of the only physical things we are actually elite at. We are weak and slow but we can run forever.

most early hunting was by running animals to exhaustion. The fact we are bipedal and have very efficient heat dispersion (sweating) all point to the fact that we were meant to run.

I can only select Samsung devices as mobile phones from my employer.

I just won't.
Oh, I'm well acquainted with Bacigalupi's work and I think he is not writing mere derivatives, but actually updating the concerns and doing something interesting with them. The aesthetic is completely different as well.

I've no idea if Gibson has read Bacigalupi or what he thinks of his work, but I am definitely a fan!
I would pay more for Samsung with stock Android. Well I would have in the past now I can just buy a Pixel.

I don’t know how to weigh the two pieces against each other (I have not dug in to the details), but here’s an alternate meta-analysis that suggests reductions in all-cause mortality continue past 10,000 daily steps: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/research-spotlight-walking....

Btw: the discussion here suggests some reasons to believe there’s a causal connection, and it’s only partially a matter of “health problems might reduce the amount people walk.”
Just to put some numbers around that...

Density of ice at 0 degC is 0.92 kg/L. So, 1 kg of ice =~ 1087 cubic centimeters of space, or a cube ~4.25 inches on a side.

Rounding that down to 4 inches for the moment, you get 27 of those per cubic foot, or (260 Wh * 27) = 7.02 kWh, and then round that down to give the extra quarter-inch back, you get ~6.5 kWh/ft3 theoretical capacity.

A typical household in the US uses 10,715 kWh/year[0], so (10715/6.5) = 1648.46 ft3 for a household's worth of freeze-thaw battery storage, or a cube 11.81 feet on a side.

Yes, of course it's more complicated than that, but the scale is pretty interesting.
