I always found the "Boundaries" (Henry Cloud) distinction here very useful.

It's OK to "hurt" someone - that is, if you are communicating the truth, your boundaries, your needs, you may hurt someone.

It's not OK to "harm" someone - that is, you do intentional/lasting damage to them through your actions. (My wording is not nearly as on point as the original author, but I hope you get the gist.)

Here's a snippet:

Great word and apparently an old one:

The other branch of this post’s children, from thrwy_ywrht is a perfect example of the sort of neurotic overanalysis that the article’s talking about. It’s extra cute that the poster is using a throwaway account.

Some of the decisions you make in life will run counter to other people’s expectations. The strength you get, and demonstrate to them as well, from communicating your intentions is in acknowledging you can’t “protect their feelings” and aren’t trying, and that you have the respect for them as well to manage and regulate their own feelings.

Good people will understand and forgive minor infractions. This isn’t license to freely commit any infraction. It’s just an acknowledgment of everyone’s fallibility.

>For those in favor of a law like this imagine if the law had races, sex, or whatever flipped. You have to hire a white person or a male. Would you still be in favor of it?

The author states there is no upside to giving honest feedback of a company in an exit interview, and the one comment I see at the moment which argues perhaps there could be an upside is making the case that the upside is when you personally benefit from stock prices increasing.

Why is it difficult to see that an upside would be that the company makes a positive change and people other than yourself are benefitted? Why is something only beneficial when it happens to me?

In this context, "robbing" fits just fine. Merriam-Webster lists this as a definition of "rob":

to deprive of something due, expected, or desired

So to say you're "robbing someone of their agency" is the same as saying you're "depriving them of an opportunity to decide for themselves"
Just a small aside, Huntsville, AL seems to make perfect sense to me to build a new facility. It has a huge built in base as it supposedly already has one of the highest concentration of STEM majors in the USA and the cost of living is 55% lower than SF (https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator/compare...).

Would it be any different if they were tracking his car? Does tracking an object owned by a person somehow make it any better? What's next, Musk's TV viewing habits? Browsing history? These are just things and not the person, so it's ok, right? No, of course not.
I once derived the equation in the Mark's handbook for sizing a drive shaft from first principles for a project, not knowing I could have just looked it up.

Sorry revisionist historians, the vaccine does not and never has prevented transmission of COVID. You still get infected by, get sick from and can spread the virus.
Simply read the documentation from the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA clinical trials to see the claimed benefit spelled out.

The media endlessly bleating "93% effective!" was in reference to preventing serious illness, which is the only benefit it offers.

I saw this sort of "yeah/maybe/cancel" behaviour amongst some portion of peers back in my university days, but even then, it wasn't everyone, or even most people in my circles. It was known poor behaviour then. We tolerated things a bit more because... no mobile phones, no email, etc. If you weren't there, you weren't there, but often didn't have a good way to let someone know you had to cancel ahead of time (but you'd check your answering machine timestamp to verify!).

I would pin it on the groups that campaigned against efficient city design, efficient public transport, efficient private automobiles, efficient taxing of externalities like lead and CO2 and vehicle weight, efficient electrical production like wind and solar and told a whole lot of silly lies in the processs because they were getting a cut of fossil fuel profits.

But yeah, if you supported and voted for those people and accepted their wild lies without realising they were scamming you, then you are kinda dumb, so I'm not ruling out dumbness as a contributing factor, just that there was a lot of time, effort and money put into making people dumb on this particular topic and I'll save my ire for the smart people doing the scamming rather than the dumb people being scammed.

> This is a big reason I can't stand the culture of twitter. When I interact with someone on Reddit, the two of us are on equal footing. There are many other strange Reddit specific cultural details to keep in mind when commenting, but the two of us are just two mostly equal users.

This is far from true. If you interact with a user who is a mod and you piss them off they have every ability to ban you from subreddits they manage. It’s common enough on Reddit for a user to be mods of multiple subreddits or have friends who mod multiple subreddits.

Mods can also create scripts to specifically ban people who participates in specific subreddits.

Reddit’s block feature can make it so that when a user blocks you , you won’t be able to comment on the same sub thread. I don’t believe I don’t have to spell out the nefarious abuses this can wreak.

Reddit is one the last places I would say users are equal. The only difference is that Reddit opinions aren’t centralized like Twitter but it gives far more power to the worst person than Twitter gives to worst person on their platform.
I thought that was the point, though. The brand Facebook is well known, but had developed negative associations. So they wanted to start fresh.
Why not? I'm curious if you're picturing any specific roadblocks in mind. OpenAI makes their large models available through an API, removing any issues with model hosting and operations.

Slightly, although less so if you have code you can compile yourself and use -march=native. The M1 is heavily default optimized for the M1, random x86 binaries are generally optimized for something like a Pentium 4. Just tweaking this one thing, can easily double perf.

Also, as someone who owns both, make sure the 5950 is actually turbo'ing correctly. Mine was a real pain to get it up to speed, despite having a seriously overkill water cooler.

I don't think anyone is really against trying alternative treatements... if anything if we had one that worked that would be ideal, as it's already mass produced and the infrastructure already exists.

The problem is people latched onto the idea of Ivermectin being beneficial, when the studies did not show that. So it was just fantasy. And people inevitably died because they thought they knew better than real doctors and decided to treat themselves with it.

> cite attribute, which is seldom used, probably because it's not exposed to the user in any way

I recall in a (lost) blog theme I had at one point in time I'd scrounged a nice bit of CSS to add cite attributes visibly appended to blockquote and q elements. Exposing it to the user is possible in just pure CSS, but it is a bit of a shame that browsers didn't style it by default so many people didn't learn it was a thing.
I read articles like this as saying "reached their limits [as we currently understand them]." Sometimes we learn we were mistaken and more is possible but it's not reliable and, crucially, when it happens it happens in unexpected ways. The process of talking about when (and why) techniques have hit their useful limits is often key to unearthing the next step.

I tried to skip an exit interview once, the HR person was late to her own meeting. After waiting for 5 minutes, I left. You can bet she called me back in there. Felt so good to tell her one reason I was leaving the company was that no schedule was ever on time in the entire company, ever, including my exit interview.

I told her straight up that I was going to be honest because I had no intention of ever working there again. Being honest really felt great.

Apparently, I was memorable - ran into the HR person in the grocery store years later and she made a point to chat me up.
> But it can detect that the case when it can't recover.

That is simply not true. For any parity/ECC/FEC/erasure-code scheme carrying M data bits in N (greater than M but less than 2M) total, there must be multiple data patterns that will match the same error checks. That's just mathematics. Also, bear in mind that ECC bits can be corrupted too. This opens up the distinct possibility of something that looks like a correctable error, but the "correction" leads to a wrong result. I've seen such issues in many kinds of storage systems, from low level to high. Anyone who has actually worked in this area, instead of deriving their "expertise" from a quick scan of Wikipedia, would be utterly unsurprised by the idea that disk firmware might do such a thing, or have bugs in their ECC implementation, or not follow a spec.

Whatever the causes, whatever the merely-theoretical probabilities, the fact remains that I've seen these. I've been paged for them. I've done the analyses of possible causes. A bit pattern was written and repeatedly verified over a quite long period of time (ruling out data path issues), then at some point a different bit pattern was read and would persistently be read thereafter. How is that not real bitrot? How does it matter, beyond ruling out everything above the disk level, what the precise causes are? If you can't answer those questions, you're just posting noise.

That is the one critical factor in this while work from home thing that most people took for granted, causing a lot of "unexplained" disagreement about how great it was.

People like me who live alone (or maybe only had one quiet roommate) were getting a lot of work done. Meanwhile, at one point, many parents literally suddenly had two jobs -- their normal one and then being a teacher at the same time.

What was amazing to me was that almost everyone in this discussion assumed that the other side had the same situation as them. It did not occur to most people with families that some people had an apartment to themselves. Or that rarely was considered in the arguments.

But the point is, I live alone, my family rarely calls, and if I am busy then my phone is often on silent. So I never had that issue at all. But your question does not consider that possibility.

This is easy for me to say but part of this is about having a conscientious and considerate family and also your own space. If it's a toddler then lock the door (obviously with someone else to supervise). If your spouse can't leave you alone after you clearly communicate that it is necessary, then you may literally need to A) work out of the house B) get a different job that is not work from home or C) get a better spouse.
Start mono-tasking. Focus on one thing at time and work on growing the amount of time you can keep that focus.

I've been doing this and it has been quite helpful. Some good mono-tasking activities:

- Read books. Books require you to focus for an extended period of time on the same subject. It doesn't matter fiction or non-fiction. Just find a book you enjoy and finish it. If you don't enjoy the book at 50 pages, try a new book.

- Actively listen during meetings. Close all your other tabs and applications and pay attention during a video call. Take notes with pencil and paper to keep your hands busy and keep the focus up.

- Walk. Just take a walk. Don't listen to a podcast or music, just walk and let your mind rest. You might even apply some meditation techniques and try to pay attention to your body. Can you feel your breathe or heart rate?

The auth package is a single interface that can be extended by 3rd party auth providers. When we originally created it we supported auth0 and magic.link, but now there are more 10!

So, imagine you want something quick, so you pick magic.link and you launch to a bunch of demo user's, but decide it doesn't scale for your *new* needs, you'll be able to switch out to Auth0 without having to change any client side code (other than initialization).

Of course you'll have to migrate your users.

Having the ability to pick an auth provider, or host your own to suit your needs/ risk requirement, is very important to us!
Your biggest issue was choosing to be a light wheel mechanic in an airborne unit. If you think survival rates for combat dropping troopers are bad, I'd hate to show you the actual percentage of HMMWVs that drive away from a drop zone.

The M1 Ultra is fabricated as a single chip. The 12900K is fabricated as a single chip and is still a quarter the size of the M1 Ultra. Ryzen 3 puts 8 cores on a CCX instead of four because DDR memory controllers don't have infinite memory bandwidth (contrary to AMD's wishful nomenclature) and make shitty interconnects between banks of L3.

Chiplets are valid strategies that are going to be used in the future but there are still more tricks that CPU makers have up their sleeves that they need to use out of necessity. They're nowhere near their limits.
I think a lot of people would be better off buying a fast workstation and a very cheap laptop.

A workstation/desktop is way better for your posture and has more power for the money.

If you need to travel you can always use a cheap laptop to start a remote desktop session on the workstation.

But maybe this also depends on the kind of computing power you need. Personally I need an RTX GPU which saves me a huge amount of time. Those are just not available in laptops.
The download attribute is helpful when you don't have control over the mime types the server handles. Downloading is the sensible option as opposed to trying to display a .bin file.

Also, it allows you to ensure that if you have a button that says 'download', it will actually download the file instead of having it replace the application---the principle of least surprise.
