I cannot deal when a backpack when the temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit, for the very reason Arnade gives -- a sweaty back. I've been using a Nittany Mountain Works fanny pack on bike rides recently (the larger model will carry A5 notebooks, which is plenty big for my non-work commuting since I'm remote full time now). I guess I will still deal with a sweaty lower back, but that's better than my entire back.

That said, I agree with you -- I could imagine walking (or riding) with stuff in my pockets.
Your confusion is because you fully believe the myths you've been told. I recognize a message board comment isn't going to change your mind any more than if I tell a devoutly religious person "God isn't real" or an extreme Qanon anti-vaxer that "vaccines don't cause autism". But I'll say it anyway- almost everything the average American was taught in school about native Americans and early settlers is somewhere between completely false and deeply misleading. We teach history as if the natives were peaceful victims and the settlers were violent attackers, but the truth is often entirely the opposite, where refugees from European wars settled as peaceful farmers only to have a Comanche war party find and attack them years later. Unfortunately the Overton window is so far away from reality, that stating basic factual truths like this gets you attacked with the vigor of an atheistic heretic under a Sharia system.

As for the "whataboutism" it's a simple attack against America to silence human rights activists as having essentially "no moral ground to stand upon". If an American says China shouldn't genocide the Uyghurs, they deflect the criticism by refocusing on the (imagined) treatment of various tribes by American policies in the 1800s.
many (most?) neuro-atypical people absolutely have a much better experience wfh rather than in person and policies that force back to office ignore their needs.
> Neuro normative? Good grief. They don't want to work in the office - no need to gobbledygook it up in some bizarre appeal to authority.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Do you not think neuro-normativity is a real thing? Or do you think that neuro-divergent people will be worse off with a truly flexible work-from-home policy?

I don't think they are requesting that the office cease to exist. It sounds like they want a hybrid approach that has no required office time.

> A lot of these younger folks pushing for full time remote at the start of their career are putting themselves into a box I don't think they fully appreciate

This is condescending. It assumes that people who want full-time remote are not aware of the trade offs. I try to think better of people when they make an effort at self-determination. They know their lives better than I do, I imagine.
Mensa is catnip for narcissists who are great at pattern recognition.
When he talks about pushing the art forward, I wonder if he is also talking about the art of game design. Is he going to show us a futuristic vision of the classic point & click gameplay, or is this part still stuck in the past?

I guess in my mind accessible buildings, accessible transportation to and from work, insurance that makes it easy to get high quality treatment and medical devices are akin to "installing the elevator" in your analogy. Part of the job is getting to the top of the skyscraper and those things make it easier.
This has been my norm for most of adult life, and I recently discovered Chaclas which kinda feel like a cross between Birkenstocks and Teva and are a breeze to walk 15 to 20 miles in. Highly recommend checking out their sandals
not finding something is a lot different than finding something
Mensa doesn't need a special filter for that, by virtue of being an IQ organization and not a chemistry/literature/mathematics organization (where it's about using your IQ for something) they will end up with the people who haven't joined an organization that's more specific to their interests: a great implicit filter for people who don't have interests other than solving puzzles.
LottieFiles raises Series B to make the animation format even more ubiquitous
I did ok, but there were some puzzles that just didn't make sense to me. I suspect they were about rotating or reflecting. The xoring ones, though, those are my jam.
> “printed” in the fabric of space. Then as apparently Space is not empty at all but filled with Planck scale micro wormholes entangling all things into this one universal neural network, then our brains should be very well capable of tracing back our unique trails through space and retrieve information through those micro wormholes.

That's fun enough if that's intended as some form of recreational speculative fiction/sci-fi. I'm all about that.

But you said "model", without qualification, so its hard for me to tell from your comment the extent to which you want to put this forward as something that stands a chance of really being true.
Apache Superset Dashboards as Code
It does in some cases, just not for the reasons stated (imho of course).

(didn't downvote you - I actually appreciate your sharing of your point of view)
This is one of those studies where the conclusion is so obviously wrong that I don't even want to open it, and it makes me discount the credibility of Nature overall.
Reporters Without Borders: Press Freedom Index 2022
35 questions / 20 finished * 100 partial score = 165 true IQ.

I remember Isaac Asimov claimed he never completed an IQ test, but he did one that was supposed to take 60 minutes, and stopped after 30, scoring 125. He assumed this meant he must have a 250 IQ. (In jest, of course.)
For creative inspirations, or even just thinking through a project in your head, a walk outside can be amazing.

What's best is if you can take a full hour-long or more walk, and let your mind wander for the majority of it. You don't need to be actively thinking the whole time, that can actually defeat the purpose of it.

But don't let the great be the enemy of the good, if all you can take is 15 minutes, and you need to be thinking the whole time, do that instead.
They don't need to be traditional 'backend' services. Any mechanism of synchronising state between clients could be enough?
So, way to dodge the question.

What I asked was " in many GPL projects there are numerous copyright holders. Therefore, who is going to be the one to sue over the issues and optional seek damages"

You responded with "they".

That's not addressing my point, which is asking about which actor is taking action, why they are and not another actor, etc.

Like, is someone who contributed 3 lines of code 7 years ago going to be actively suing people?
If only a person's grasp on language were correlated with intelligence.
fair critique and absolutely reasonable considering why they've never done it. It just seems like a more ethical business model than selling ads and data licensing (https://octodon.social/@jalefkowit/108216691483123862).
And you still have that choice both under the model that the workers here are suggesting and in the greater economy.
I’m not stereotyping though; I said if engineers are cynical their is probably a reason. I didn’t say all engineers are cynical or all mangers give them a reason to be.

It sounds like you have a disconnect with your ICs if you don’t understand why they don’t trust you.
Many companies did this in the past. Nowadays Java, Go, etc GCed languages are still used but not for the hot path anymore. They are a couple million times slower than what we need.
Given how much malware was written targeting the fact that you could embed it in something like a spreadsheet with full access to windows API stuff it was doomed to suffer eventually like that. The entire security model was non-existent and it just opened up such a can of worms. The funny thing is how unlikely it is someone will get hit with working malware written in vb6 today because of AV engines and how easy it is to slip under the radar just doing it in go or whatever
I highly recommend Rebecca Solnit's book Wanderlust. She dives into the history of walking, and she spends a chapter on notable flaneurs.
I don't think anyone who knows the xor trick behind the matrices questions can really say the test is measuring them. :-) Also I think it's funny that this comment thread will be giving 10 points of "practice effect" to everyone who reads it. We are ruining psychological research.
Well no, text looks blurry. I know it's a SW limitation, but it does. I'm sitting in front of it right now (27" 4K display connected to a Mac).

Windows look crispy clear with this display.
Time exists in the similar sense that rivers exist. If you look too closely the thing fades away into individual water molecules. But when you zoom out it's not a rain drop or a cloud or fog, it's a river.
I agree with your points on B and C, but the vast majority of people don't have to know or care about A.
Note that unsafe does not contain anything. The problem propagates to the unsuspecting caller of claimed safe code.

Ending up compromised by a problem in tokio, Pin semantics, actix or all the necessary ffi bindings is no different than, say, a C program being compromised by a vulnerability in OpenSSL or libcurl.

A very significant number of memory issues in C stemmed from issues in such single high-profile dependency, so one should not undermine the threat of a bit of unsafe code in the corner of a library.
Page 62 to in the draft opinion: "And to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterised, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion."

That seems pretty clear to me.
>The reason you steelman opposing arguments is to make your arguments look strong and convincing, not to be "charitable and kind."

I agree it's nothing to do with kindness but I disagree that it's (entirely) to do with making your arguments look strong and convincing. I think it's a good practice because (in my experience) people tend towards strawmanning even if they don't mean to. We're so used to adversarial debates where you're trying to "win" the argument by presenting the opponent's argument in a poor light that it's helpful to consciously avoid that by attempting the opposite. If we don't then arguments tend to degrade rather quickly.

The comments to the original article contains a good example of a common argument pattern. Someone makes a point about antibiotics not being a miracle drug and one reply is "So you’ll just dismiss millions and millions of years of life saved, untold suffering prevented, and vast economic and qualify [sic] of life benefits by virtue of availability of antibiotics because antibiotics aren’t perfect". It feels unlikely anyone would dismiss millions of years of life being saved so if they've been in anyway ambiguous we should apply the principle of charity (which is not directly to charity in the normal sense) and assume they don't mean that.
I have heard that IQ measurements correlate very well with general success in society. Peterson says they correlate better than any other measurement in human Psychology. (Paraphrasing and I can't validate it)

Peterson also says that it doesn't matter which questions you use. People with hi scores on one test will typically have high scores on the other tests.

It seems to be a hard thing for intelligent creatures to hear:

There are some smarter that you and some less smart and you are most likely in the middle range somewhere.
True or not. This would make much better sci-fi trope then current quantum entanglement plot lines
On top of that it was published in Science. I'm completely stumped.
I joined Mensa today because I overheard some good reviews, but that's my biggest fear. I want a group that I can go for coffee and have interesting conversations with, not a group of people who are all about how smart they are.

I don't want to be biased before even going, though.
Someone buy this and cross reference it with publicly available information about Republican lawmakers. I'm certain you'll find more than a few pings.

Yeah, I kinda feel like the style of RoMI could make a better DotT:Remastered than DotT:Remastered did :)
If you honestly think the average HN reader is low 80's (bottom 15%) I've got some bad news about what the results of your IQ test will be.
>Not everyone understands or can engage in body language.

Well you sure as hell aren't going to get better at it by throwing up your hands and declaring it just isn't for you. I'm naturally introverted, but when I say that to co-workers they don't believe it - because over the years I have learned to adapt. I'm very extroverted at work - because it's necessary. Yup, I pay a price - it's exhausting and I need time to recharge. But the benefits of adapting to normal work environments instead of demanding the world adapt to me are immeasurable.

There are tons of things I can do now that I couldn't do before. Many of them are unpleasant. But they are necessary and without many of them I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today. Good luck with waiting for the world to adapt to you. Let's get back together in 30 years and see how that attitude works for you. I'm sure the universe will have been incredibly unfair to you :p

This whole victim = anything hard/I just don't want to do is getting old. And it devalues people with legitimate issues.
The odd thing is that in most countries the age of consent is below (sometimes significantly below) 18. So we’ve got strange mixed signals.
Instead of asking what IQ measures I think it's probably more useful to simply ask what it predicts.

Often discussions regarding IQ seem to get bogged down in debates around the definition and value of intelligence, or the ability of an IQ test to accurately measure it. But whatever your opinion on what IQ tests are measuring, IQ has undoubtably been shown to have a high statistical predictability for many of the positive (and negative) life outcomes we're interested in as a society. For example, if you score higher on an IQ test you're statistically much less likely to go to prison and much more likely to have a higher income.

Personally I think IQ is something worth thinking about in the context of group behaviour and performance. For example, at the level of a nation it's worth measuring mean IQ and being concerned about any persistant annual declines in IQ, or simply to understand why some cohorts might have significantly higher or lower IQs. On the level of the individual I'd question how useful it is.
They can fire him for whatever reason they like, but preventing the publication of a paper should not be a corporate policy decision. The only question they should ask is if it reveals trade secrets, which I assume it wouldn't because it was a response to another paper from Google. The whole scientific process thing is the part intended to decide if it's meaningful or not.

That AI is weird and changing the world is why the science shouldn't be held up on the question of whether it embarrasses the company.
To counter, try standing for a few hours vs. walking slowly and you will be surprised that walking is actually easier. Humans anatomy seems to prefer walking over standing. It's particularly obvious after those long moments where you are deep into woking through some code, where you totally forget to move for about 20 min. The treadmill takes care of that. So if you already bought that standing desk...

In casual English “or” means “xor” most of the time.
Chewing is so inconvenient. Feeding tubes for everyone!

That’s a joke… we need the flexibility to cater to those who require it. We don’t need to make the baseline match the minimum. I think ADA and other items do well in this regard. So, just let a person WFH if attendance is overly inconvenient. It’s not the standard expectation. If working in the office is a baseline then It doesn’t mean they get to move to another country then claim the commute is now inconvenient. I think this wasn’t really much of an issue before Covid. Why is it now?
Yeah. I did pretty well and I'm definitely not Mensa smart... but a lot of the middle questions were pretty easy to pick up on... or/nor/differences/unions...
My IQ is a perfect 100!
If you think active, in-person collaboration is a "minor optimization" than it doesn't feel like you're starting from a neutral, open position on this issue.
Is the trick just knowing what xor is? I haven't done anything like this before, but I did do EE as an undergrad so some xors just jump out at you, haha.
There is no possible way for someone just out of college to actually understand the tradeoffs. Young people have little to no experience with building a career or what it entails.
Plenty of folks these days doing it for self promotion too. Looking for social media content, youtube views, or just pandering to their audience. There's an industry around some political movements.
Any good suggetions for resources to learn Guile besides the manual?

I think Mensa is on the lower end of high IQ societies. IIRC. I think they accept people who test in the 135 range, which is uncommon, but not horribly so. Like in the 2% range. So, 1 in 50 people. There's another group called the Triple-9 society which only takes people who test in the 99.9% percentile (hence the clever name).

Mensa and other high IQ societies consist of people who have enough time to dedicate to being in a high IQ society.

That should tell you enough about the motivation and mindset of the people in it.

Like everyone there was probably technically intelligent, but they've convinced themselves that that alone was enough to lead them to the land of milk and honey. Like they say, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Being intelligent isn't enough, you have to acquire knowledge and you have to apply that knowledge.
Commuting time may not be officially factored into working hours but companies already pay for it in domains like tech where they must compete against each other for employees.

Given the number of companies that offer fully remote or hybrid work, a comparable company that wants their employees in the office five days a week has to provide higher compensation and/or lower standards to meet their staffing needs.

The important question for companies is not whether they want to be in-person/hybrid/remote in abstract, the question is how much they're willing to pay.
LMAO this mirrors my experience exactly. About 10 mins left...I was questioning what I'm doing with my life. Hey, there's a finish button already, let me click that and end this thing. Does that count the rest as wrong? It wasn't clear.
It's true, but in a busy city environment, you're pretty much forced to form pairs. Because of the noise, it's very hard to hear what the person on the other side is saying.
> I scored almost right in the middle of the bell curve. I guess I really suck at pattern matching, or I am just dumb.

Well, no, that'd be average, not dumb.
Rather than a d216 you then need a conversion table to use, why not a 16-sided dice numbered 3-18 that has been weighted to roll the appropriate distribution?
Why do you draw the line at a mountain? We have the technology for outdoor lifts.

In the end it's a trade off, and while we should have minimum standards of accessibility, after that point its a trade off between productivity, efficiency, and accessibility. If having the entire team in office 2x a week makes the average worker XX% more productive, should we sacrifice that for the one teammate who has a harder time to getting to the office? What about the coworker who choose to live further away? Should my team push meetings around because I am not a morning person? What about the dead worker who can understand coworkers better when in person, should we require everyone to go in every day for them?

I tried it, and now I'm wondering what some of those patterns in the low-mid-30's were (I don't recall the specific numbers, but probably around 32 or 33), because I was completely lost when I got to those. I'm more interested in what those patterns were than their assessment of what it means with regard to my IQ.
ADHD brains crave novelty and mental stimulation. Random challenging quizzes are like crack to me, personally. Half of them I get bored with immediately and drop.
I've noticed that BBC's bias is subtle and sparkled sparingly, in stark contrast to say ridiculous Russian propaganda machine. But for sure if you know certain topics well, you'll notice from time to time lack of objectivity, for whatever reasons.

In general I still like them, one view/source on given topic. But its best if the topic is not about Britain's darker parts of history or present.
NUMA rebalancing on tiered-memory systems
Whenever I see such libraries, the first thing I check out is their PRNG implementation, and this one must be the worst I've seen so far. (The rest of the library is probably quite good, I'm just talking about the PRNG part)

The library has one PRNG, and it is the following:

tb_spinlock_enter(&g_lock);
g_value = (g_value * 10807 + 1) & 0xffffffff;
tb_spinlock_leave(&g_lock);

Using this is literally worse than using the rand reference implementation.

Also, tb_random_range uses a biased and slow implementation with modulo. (see https://www.pcg-random.org/posts/bounded-rands.html for the proper way to do this)

I might look into adding a proper PRNG implementation, but I'll recommend a few resources:

Ok. So in your example the construction action (placing two things next to each other IIUC) is done by the * product type Operator and Cons has no special meaning whereas if I had used ::, I actually get an the (::) name to refer to the left hand of the union and the construction action. Did I get that right ?
Agreed-- as someone who is also later-career and personally enjoys WFH, I realize in retrospect that I learned a lot (both technically and in terms of how to be productive in a larger team environment) from less-structured in-person collaboration with more senior peers and mentors. And I feel that really set me up for growth and future success / leadership.

Some of that is possible remotely, but I don't think it would have been the same as there was a lot of on and off collaboration and chatting over the course of a month sitting side by side. Especially with someone senior who worked on a parallel team where we might not have talked as much if we'd only been meeting through meetings.

And as someone who's managed teams during the pandemic, I'll say that I saw WFH be especially challenging for some earlier-career folks and new hires, who I've seen trying to learn everything "on their own" and feeling a bit adrift. I went out of my way to have more 1:1 check-ins with them, set them up with other senior peers for regular video "coffee chats" and mentorship opportunities, and so on. But it was challenging.

I've also seen Slack be a powerful force for new or junior people asking questions about how to use a tool or the history of some decision (once we built a culture of "it's fine to just ask questions to this channel, no question is dumb"), especially across teams or offices, so async digital collaboration is powerful as well, of course.
