Re: bunking - that's largely untrue. The majority of crew members on board do get their own bunk. But there aren't enough bunks for everyone, so people have to "hot rack" (aka, share). On my boat, this typically meant 3 people sharing 2 beds - if three people that share the same watchstation are hot-racking, at least one of them has to be on watch at any given time, so the other two have a bed if they need it.

Also, a decent number (maybe 10-ish) of the beds/racks tend to be in the torpedo room. Those guys just need to be comfortable sleeping next to big underwater bombs. :)

It's changed a bit, but the thing that made everyone fatigued is that your body is used to a 24-hour day, but your work day was an 18-hour day: 3 sections of 6 hour watches.
I don't want to setup or configure anything. I want to offload all that work to a provider where I register with a username/pass, pay $5.00/mo and can easily spin up a Windows GUI in my browser.
I think (moderately difficult) coding tests are a great tool since they establish a clear, and mostly objective benchmark for performance, which is hard to fake. While they certainly don't give you a complete picture, I think they are one of the most efficient tools for establishing a base line of competence with regards to both the interviewers and interviewees time.
If you follow that to it's logical conclusion then "everything is terrible and nothing is secure" (which is probably the reality)

My personal gripe with piping curl output to sh is about expectations. If I have some binary I'm running, I have _some_ expectations about what it will do, same for a Makefile, and RPM, etc. None of those things are guaranteed to do what they're supposed to but I have some idea what _should_ happen.

Unless I read through the script, I have less expectations about what the script is going to do. It says it will install my program but is it going to pull in dependencies from my package manager? Download and compile something, shove binaries in my $PATH, edit dot files in $HOME?
I am in dire need of back and ankle surgery, but I don't ever want to go under anesthesia again. When I had emergency surgery on my cervical spine years ago, I nearly died during the process of waking from anesthesia. As I was waking, I had a swarm of nurses yelling over me that I'm not breathing and my heart rate being dangerously high. They kept yelling for me to breathe, but I could barely understand their words due to the anesthesia grogginess, let alone force some biological function that should be involuntary to occur. After several injections of god knows what into my IV line and several minutes of frantic people gathering around me trying to figure out how to keep me from dying, I luckily started stabilizing.

From that moment on though, my heart has never been the same. I developed an arrhythmia which they intially told me was due to the anesthesia and should go away within a week, but it has never gone away. Pre-surgery I had a stable idle heart rate - around 65 bpm - and now it fluctuates randomly between 50 and 115 every minute; again that's just sitting and doing nothing. My holter monitor tests showed many many episodes of both tachycardia and bradycardia as well as PVCs and PACs (palpitations).

I've been looking into "awake" surgeries lately for my back, so hopefully that will be a reasonable option for most things in the near future.
That's the problem, isn't it? You don't have to give it your all. You have to give it your enough.
The contract may not have teeth, the employer doesn’t own 24 hours of an employee’s time and has no legal basis to dictate what an employee does outside of the workplace.

However, in the US “at-will” employment is the norm, which means either party can terminate the employment at any time for any reason, or no reason. If the employer finds out an employee is moonlighting or freelancing in their spare time they can simply fire the person, and cite violation of policy or give almost any reason that isn’t illegal. The contract would only matter if the case got into court, and that’s unlikely to happen since the employee has no right to a job in the first place.
I agree. Joking less should be defined as only make jokes that everyone can appreciate. They don't have to think it is funny, but they should not be at anyone's expense.
I might be remembering wrong but I think early on (pre 2015?) twitter had the capability to send tweets via SMS texts. I wouldn't know the size comparison, but if they re-added that feature, it feels like an easy way to cut the bloat.
Yep, at that level, there is a ton of competition. The self-driving industry is almost like the video game industry and actually has a ton of employees who previously worked in video games. They are definitely much better compensated in ADAS but the work culture is similar (anecdotally so YMMV).

ML is the sexy wing of the tech industry, so it tends to attract the people who are willing to put in the hours (for interviews as well as towards work).
Unfortunately they'll only have access to the old style disk Netflix and those envelopes will come with a hell of a postage cost on them. /s

More seriously, I don't know why you assume Netflix would be accessible or a priority for settling on Mars - or that Youtube wouldn't be.

Is an inner monologue supposed to be completely intelligible, or at the same speed as spoken conversation, or in complete sentences, or always on by default? Because I can, e.g. look at the painting on my wall and summon a voice and think "ok what do I think of this painting?", and then I start getting random ideas like "blue sky" and "leaf, leaf, leaf" and "that's a weird curve" and "I'm getting hungry". But it's not like a fully formatted paragraph with coherant thoughts, in fact the voices are almost always overlapping, like someone is speaking 3 or 4 things at once and I can sort of hone in on one or two of them at a time.

Then when I stop thinking about it, my mind fades back into whatever it was on before, usually some music that's stuck in my head (which interestingly is always in the correct key and tempo even if it repeats the catchy bit more than it should if I'm not paying attention). The weirdest part is that when I'm actually listening to or playing music the narrative DOES actually collapse into a single spoken-conversation-speed track.
Why do you think it is an accident? I thought evolution is an adaptation mechanism. If anything I'd say we've got a pretty cool form factor (peak human form, not like me who is out of shape lmao).

As other commenters alluded to, it's an ideological and practical decision. We simply prefer free software operating systems. We do not care to legitimize nonfree platforms, and we prefer to be able to read (and patch) the code to understand the tools we depend on. If that's a deal-breaker for you, no worries - Hare does not have to appeal to everyone to achieve its goals.
It’s just something you have to avoid. It’s not hard to avoid though, unless you are doing bizarre and non idiomatic things with Optional. I have never actually seen a NullPointerException resulting from a null Optional, in my code or my coworkers’, and I’ve been writing Java since their inception.

This has been tried, see Cyclone. It was a lot less practically usable than modern Rust.
Interplanetary communication is actually an interesting angle though I don't think he's bringing into his portfolio of companies for that angle.

I haven't given much thought to this but managing earth time zones and other planet timezones is going to be a real PITA - obviously these are smaller issues.

I would have to imagine that interplanetary communication wouldn't be as frivolous as the stuff we waste energy on here currently as the deployment costs are much larger.
The arbitrary difference between a "toy" and a "tool" is the completeness of the proposed solution. Correctness, ease of use and documentation concerns could come well before execution speed.

I agree that writing an interpreter for an existing language (e.g. Python) one would want to match the performance of existing interpreters and thus would need to use the techniques you mention.

Fine, how about someone who has little or no social life but derives joy from playing video games and other solitary pursuits, and also gets enough exercise (or at least as much as the average person who has good relationships)? I suspect there are some people on this forum who are like that, and more people who might become that if they thought it was the right idea.

Edit: The point is that the title implies that you'd get the significant health benefits just by experiencing joy, but the article says that you need good social relationships, so, if we believed the article, the title would misdirect people.
So?

Sterilize the job thing, go be colorful with like minded folks away from it.

Doing jobs for someone with more money is one of those things we can’t avoid and it’s been shown over and over we minimize engineering issues when best practices are put first.

Jobs are not there to serve every potential individual preference. You’re paid for results not how validated you feel.
> You'll find tons of grants--and even jobs--that are time-gated: you must be within k years of your PhD, where k is pretty small (1, 2, maybe 5).

I finished my PhD in 2020. The research job market was terrible back then, and I'm getting close to the 2 year mark where I'll age out of a lot of opportunities. These rules are going to prevent a lot of people from getting a job in science, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Fortunately, in the case of many jobs, I think the time-since-PhD requirement is often boilerplate that is not enforced.
You can mute words. I’ve banned various crypto keywords and it keeps out just the right amount (99%).
Was there a recent update to the project? I think the state-of-the-art on this (on Linux) is libsoccr (from CRIU) that uses Linux kernel support for tcp checkpoint-restore. If you're ever for real doing that, you'll need some serious plumbing to make sure your tcp socket is doesn't get updated under your nose while you're checkpointing it. Hint: it involves qdiscs, ifb and netlink. Fun project.

I keep hoping one day I'll be able to do the checkpoint operation in one chained io_uring op series :-)

I recently went through an upsetting few days in my life and noticed that my mental chatter could be broken down into four distinct voices, all talking about and questioning my situation in unique ways. I even started to label them to keep track. It was completely overwhelming at first, I could really feel like different parts of my brain were talking and arguing with each other, and that the "me" in my head was like a dinghy in a violent storm of other voices.

After a day or two, when I started to relax and calm down, the voices re-coalesced back into one normal inner monologue. It was the first time I had experienced something like that, I've always had an inner monologue that would engage in chatter in times of trauma as the article describes (and maybe I've also had multiple voices arguing before) but I've never noticed to the point of creating labels for them before.
This is not a "true" LiDAR in the classical sense (where you send out a laser beam and measure time passed until return). It's rather an indirect ToF sensor that uses modulated light bursts that flood the entire scene.

This approach typically works well for close-range convex surfaces (hand tracking, bin picking, face ID) but fails pretty miserably when longer ranges and concave surfaces are involved, due to quadratic signal dropoff and multipath errors.

As far as I understand, what the team has achieved is lowering the power requirements for the modulation part. It means they can spend the saved power on making the modulated light brighter, which should give them a bit more range. I haven't seen any other major improvements though and none of the other issues with iToF were addressed.

Not trying to downplay the achievement, just saying it is still affected by the usual tradeoffs and probably just occupies another niche in the high dimensional space of 3D cameras, rather than spanning many of today's niches.
Since to be usable we need a modern WebVM, improperly named browser for legacy reasons, so we need a desktop merely used as a bootloader for thw WebVM what's the point of having a remote tools, witch means someone else computer (or at least another computer) + a desktop + the dependency on the network just to work?

Honestly I think it's about time to tell management that's nothing costly nor complicated in maintain desktops with custom deploys not just the default install by some vendor, and in supporting them instead of investing in servers with much more resources just to centralize for the point of merely centralize...

Sorry for being rude, I've used Apache Guacamole time ago and I still ask me why it was even though in the first place...
Let's stipulate off the bat that many conservative causes are religious in nature: if you want schools to teach intelligent design instead of evolution, that falls within the scope of "imposing religious beliefs on people."

But it's 2022, not 1992, and a lot of contemporary conservative causes are based on coding conservative positions as being based on "religious beliefs" and liberal positions as being based on some sort of "rational morality." But that distinction is fictitious.

For example, liberals decry Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban as "imposing religious beliefs." So why do highly secular countries like France and Denmark draw the line at 13 or 14 weeks? In reality, the abortion debate rests on competing moral ideologies--one that emphasizes the importance of reproduction, and one that emphasizes the importance of individual choice. Neither position is based primarily on scientific facts or rigorous logic.

Likewise, when it comes to teaching kids about sex and gender. "God created man and woman and told them to reproduce" is a religious gloss on the factual observation that humanity comprises two sexes which reproduce sexually, and any sustainable human population requires each woman on average to have 2.1 children. Any conclusions you want to draw on top of that are moral judgments, not based on science or logic.

It's no different when it comes to law enforcement. Unless you're an anarcho-libertarian, you recognize that the state has a role in defending individual rights. Moreover, any system of law enforcement is going to produce problems and false positives at scale--especially when dealing with people at the margin of culpability. Leaving aside second-order effects for a moment, there is nothing inherently libertarian about asserting that we should err on the side of less aggressive policing to reduce the false positives, at the cost of allowing more wrong-doers to escape punishment. Likewise, there is nothing inherently libertarian about saying that destroying private property in riots is a justified reaction to police misconduct. These are all liberal moral judgments.

None of this is to say that liberals are wrong about any of these things. It's okay to formulate positions based on moral ideology rather than logic. My point is simply that you can't stake out a bunch of positions based on moral ideology, while claiming the high ground of secular rationalism and attacking your political opponents as "imposing religion."

That part is true. Their custom tunnel machines dig twice as fast as other machines.
No, you're basically right.

To the extent that containers solve a problem, it's mostly a problem with package management, and with UI for process isolation/permissions/hardening.

> Organic chemistry is covalent polar bonds, which don't require ionizing radiation to break.

This sounds wrong. It's been decades since my last chemistry class, so I sure could be wrong. But IIRC organic covalent bonds aren't particularly weaker than say ionic bonds, which obviously would be subject to ionizing radiation.

No argument with the other referenced effects. But AFAIK the key argument about non-ionizing radiation is specifically that it can't break covalent bonds.
>>>> I have no idea why anyone would expect him specifically to be able to [fix Twitter] while no one else could

Not when you're dealing with the incredible and persistent hype that follows Musk.

> Anybody who's doing incredible things will fail incredibly at least half the time.

Which is exactly my point. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, even with Musk. Unfortunately he's built a cult of personality around himself, and too many people view him as some kind of tech-god (er, "technoking") that can succeed at anything.
Speaking of the SEC [0]:

> In 2018, he came under fire after tweeting that he was considering taking Tesla private, and the SEC charged him with fraud. Musk agreed to a court-approved deal in order to settle the charges, which required that Tesla lawyers review any social media posts containing information "material" to shareholders. Months later, after he was called out for defying the order, the settlement was amended to include a specific list of topics Musk needs permission to tweet about. The list includes tweets about the company's financial condition, production numbers or new business lines.

> The SEC notified Tesla that two of Musk's tweets from 2019 and 2020 — one about Tesla's solar roof production volumes and one about the company's stock price — hadn't received the required pre-approval, the Journal's Dave Michaels and Rebecca Elliott reported.

I find it hard to overlook that at least one thing that might be motivating him to buy Twitter is to tweet however he wants to tweet, regardless of US law.

Yeah, and the way the author presents themselves speaks volume too. There is a real pride in this essay. You can see how the author casually drops big names and insights like it is a fact.

Why does valley culture makes it seem like everything is possible and anything innovative can happen soon? The innovation in AI really seems like it is being made on a thin line of engineering and compute. It doesn't happen overnight. It requires some people working through and through to pull it off. These days it requires collective contribution.

I agree that a macOS port should be relatively straightforward.
It's not that simple with the new algorithms.

e.g. I just saw a tweet from someone I don't follow in my feed -- let's say, Lisa. Above it, it said "You are seeing this because Bob liked it". But I don't follow Lisa, nor Bob! Why am I seeing this??? I swear this has just happened, and it happens all the time.
IIRC harmonics ignore frets. You use the fret to approach the point where it happens, but its exact position is a function of the whole string lenght and it's therefore not equal temperament related.

I think you're right about the "beating"... in general this post has been extremely instructive for me. My teachers were piano players. Either they didn't know better (because they didn't need it) or they didn't bother to explain the fine details to me. Even the books I consulted later don't tell the whole story. That's the magic of the Internet :-)
> Other such hateful things.

Would you identify which of your examples is speech that you find objectionable? The last statement about discrimination against Asians seems particularly well-supported by evidence, so it's not clear to me and perhaps others which statement(s) you intend to highlight as the example of "hateful things".
Payroll and benefits are complex and hard to administer. Complying with overtime and income tax rules across jurisdictions alone make outsourcing payroll and benefits a sensible decision for many organizations.

The problem isn’t outsourcing a difficult and error-prone requirement that is never part of the core business (payroll and benefits). The problem is those outsourcing companies selling that data or using it for purposes other than managing payroll and benefits. Unfortunately we live in a world where anything we participate in, voluntarily or otherwise, potentially exposes us to data harvesting and our information sold to the highest bidder.

I was thinking the same thing. Musk has done very well on hard engineering problems - now he is entering a special kind of hell running a social media company.
Yes, Spain lost Gibraltar in a war. Pretty much every border was decided by war, so why is that border different? ("we had it a long time" isn't a difference.)

Yes, Gibraltar is dependent on Spain for services. As I pointed out, that's a tool for changing the border. (Blockades are an act of war, so that would be "at gunpoint.")

However, that dependence isn't an argument that the border is "wrong".
I agree with most of this except: On the desktop browser I still get recommendations in the sidebar for celebrity / politics / news bullshit despite not following any accounts close to these topics. I hate it. In the mobile official app I get just a shitload of ads I hate for all the same style stuff. It's just seemingly impossible to get rid of the outrage machine fully.

> San Francisco Conference took place 25.04 to 26.06 1945. USSR, Ukrainian SSR, & Belarusian SSR took part in conference. Russian FSSR didn’t. Countries that signed Charter in San Francisco are known as founding members of UN. Russian FSSR didn’t Remember![2]

What changed is that Elon Musk secured funding, making his offer much more credible and forcing the board to reconsider. The poison pill is still there for now but the board can remove it as easily as they added it.
