...everyone for whom a full return to the office is a breaking point. You assume that correlates with capability of the employeeto perform their job well.

That does seem reasonable, but it remains just that: an assumption. And you know the thing about assumptions : they make a donkey out of U and MPTIONS.
Imagine you get the result correct with infinite precision, and then round to the required precision in the specified way (round up, round down, round towards zero, round to nearest with ties to even, etc.). Correct rounding is equivalent to this. It is also reproducible, as there is only one possible correct result.

There is a similar concept which is supported experimentally by MPFR, which is faithful rounding. With faithful rounding, a number is rounded either to the closest value up or to the closest value down, but it is not necessarily the nearest of them. That is, if a and b are representable and no value between them is representable, and if a < x < b, then with faithful rounding x will be rounded to any of a or b. This can sometimes be faster, but is not reproducible any more.
It’s not important whether the train has a WiFi router or not. What is important is what the WiFi router connects to. I don’t know what is common on European trains, but in the US they connect to whatever cell–phone network is closest. That is ok in urban areas, but in the US there are wide stretches of countryside where nobody lives. Somehow the phone companies never end up building cell towers in the middle of the deserts or on top of the Rockies. The train could easily be 50 or a 100 miles away from the nearest cell–phone network at any given time.

It's almost expected any time there is a large award with competitive bids. Losing bidders will sue, because they have deep enough pockets and legal staff to do it, just on the chance that the award will be blocked. It's part of the reason that large government procurements are so inefficient.
If these models are trained on human artists, what’s going to happen if humans stop making original art? It’s obvious from the OP that even a single film is enough to add a new stylistic capability to Dall E, so even though it might have been trained on hundreds of years of human artwork, a single modern piece can still influence significantly.

> This means that most artists will also struggle to make something as good as these models

This makes me think that you’re lacking a fundamental understanding of what art is. The “demand” for art is never going to disappear, but these models are simply going to disrupt the supply by flooding the market with derivative works at a massive scale.

The internet posed a similar threat back when it first came out, but laws were changed to combat that (e.g. the DMCA). I fail to see how this situation is any different?

A country that doesn’t get on top of this issue will doom itself to cultural irrelevance in the long term, IMO.
Have you not been to Home Depot or Lowe's recently? Or IKEA?

Let alone standalone kitchen joints ... this seems like a pretty much solved problem
I'm not a go expert, but imo the main difference is ergonomics and clarity. Rust/Swift style ADT's plus pattern matching gives you a very concise and readable way to declare and use sum-types, and the Go way seems to have more boilerplate.

Also with Rust for instance you have more robust pattern matching. So you don't have to match only on type, you can match on complex criteria (i.e. foo is a Circle, with foo.radius < 10).

I find this type of programming very expressive and easy to reason about.
I wonder why the cleaning up of those mmaps is synchronous
No. Your disinfectant droplets are not going to do much to stuff embedded deep inside the filter.

While it is possible some people are trying to do the right thing, it seems more likely they simply don't care.

Companies have all sorts of fake job openings, even when things are good now. They view it as a form of marketing, showing that they're growing. That it wastes applicants' time applying is an externality. It's not hurting them.

Either way, I think it's irresponsible to target a random employee and throw journalists at him.

No, nobody deserves "reputation damage" for the misbehavior of their company (and here, the one at fault is another company).
I left Netlify 2 months ago to go to Cloudflare pages, main reason to move was Netlify reliability issues, 500 errors, 15-30 sec response times ... Timeouts, several times per week, and everyday some weeks ... For static sites. Now with Cloudflare pages we got a nearly perfect uptime and latency according to our monitoring system. Also pricing is much lower with Cloudflare pages. Sorry if this sounds like an ad ... I just wanted to share my own story.
In addition to Vercel, I would also suggest considering Cloudflare Pages. Although Vercel’s platform is more mature, CFP is slightly more framework-agnostic while Vercel, understandably, is a bit tilted in favor of Next.js development. (Of course, if you’re already a Next.js shop, that may seal the deal in favor of Vercel.) Both offer the same high-quality CDN performance at all pricing tiers, including their free tiers.
along those lines ... prioritizing what you don't need to keep (in terms of libraries, unused code, unused features, etc)
Generally speaking, HEPA filters can't be cleaned.
It's working to get people on board with the concept of owning digital property which is fundamentally flawed since computers work to copy digital data. It will result in yet another method of enforcing DRM. But this time, it's possible that governments and large platforms will work together to enforce a policy where digital proof is required to upload certain content or digital assets

Here are a couple of interesting posts I came across around the topic of blockchain and DRM:

Fair, but it's still 27 minutes from there to the factory on public transit, so not quite "abuts". I know you can take the company shuttle, but the point is that the public transit system isn't very practical end to end.

I actually would give Tesla a bit of a pass on this since it is a factory purchased from GM/Toyota and it inherently needs lots of space, so you can't expect a train station at the factory gate.

Tech campuses like the Googleplex, the Apple spaceship donut, Oracle HQ on the edge of a marsh are where the failings of the public transit system are most apparent.
If it is bad that C++ evolves, then it is worse for Rust, which has been evolving much faster, trying to catch up. It is still just barely possible Rust could avoid fizzling. For that to happen, it will need to change enough so that the many, many more people who reject than embrace Rust, as it is today, choose differently tomorrow.

Evolution is necessary to stay relevant; the only alternative is stagnation. If your language or your code of five years ago does not embarrass you today, it only means you haven't learned anything new.
It might be a good idea to seek medical advice from your doctor
When I upgraded my HVAC system, the installer recommended an AprilAire filter box, I uses a 4" high pleated filter, each MERV-13 filter has around 16 pleats, so if you unfolded it, it'd be around 10 feet long.

Comes with full warranty from the manufacturer, so I don't think it's going to shorten the lifetype of the system.

I wouldn't put a regular flat MERV-13 in an existing HVAC system, but the pleated ones have so much more surface area that they seem safer.
Many studios use Macs for the artists responsible to produce those AAA titles, Linux not even that unless we are talking about Hollywood studios that used SGI workstations and don't give a damm about what Linus thinks about NVidia.

What about GNU/Linux not getting any of the OpenGL ES games from either Android or iOS from the last 10 years.
I think Rust will eventually repeat the story of C++.
1) There will emerge more ergonomic languages that solve real-world problems that Rust attempted to solve.
2) Rust's issues with type system and async will be largely resolved, so it could be used in areas where it is absolutely required.

Those who don't do politics can still have politics done to them. If you've never been in places where that happened to you, that's wonderful, but it's not something you can count on being true for your whole career.

On the other hand, a place where politics is not done to you is probably a healthier place, so if that's your current situation, consider well before you move on to another job.

So do you really think a team at twitter sat down and thought, lets block mastodon for a day to avoid some customer bleed, then we can do damage control, but it will be worth it in the end?
FWIW you can have a unified calendar today with Google Calendar. Ever since the Sunrise Calendar app [1] was discontinued, I switched to a workflow where I have everything centralized in my personal Google Calendar. How it works:

* I have a personal gmail account with my events and apointments.
* Shared a URL from my work calendar (it helps that they use google workspace), and added that to my personal calendar. Especially useful if you don't want to add a work profile in your personal device. Personally the work calendar is all I need to check on my phone when I'm not on my work laptop.
* Added the Facebook Events calendar URL.
* Added the Songkick Events calendar URL for keeping track of concert dates.
* You can also subcribe to anything else you need, e.g. TV shows feed, Garmin's calendar feed, Formula One or other sports' calendars, holidays calendar...

People can definitely get "good" at coin tossing. It isn't even too difficult a trick to master. It's not really possible to use it in any kind of grift scenario though, because there aren't any real world cases where you can win money (or gain any advantage) just by tossing a coin a certain way. Rolling dice has a lot more potential, but those are in turn heavily monitored, e.g. in casino settings.
Yeah, it's just that they probably aren't doing anything against the rules since the "technical" registrant never changed.

It's still a silly setup - but then again, we have the same thing in banking - I could send you funds if I know your routing and ACH number (which is available on any of your checks, etc). So if I were a big crime lord I could randomly send money directly to people I didn't like so they'd go down with me.
Just got my $400 check from the Facebook violation of Illinois biometrics laws, can confirm
It mystifies me. Blue Origin doesn’t have an orbit-capable booster, nor a crew capsule that can mate with ISS or stay docked for six+ months. They have New Shepard, which is essentially a very large amusement park ride. I would like to ride it one day. It doesn’t come close to meeting the requirements for an ISS contract.
Gmail is not Email

We were lucky enough to have a product idea that sold out immediately after some coverage on a few tech sites (A tiny hardware product for nerds).

Trying to update our customers, we sent out an email to about 500 people via Shopify, the spot the little guys use to do eCommerce. No links in the email at all, just a text based update that we’re here and working hard to keep up with demand.

Ever since then, every email we send to a gmail user (including friends and family) get’s bounced. It’s not even in their spam box!
We have since added google dns txt records and via something they call postmaster tools and we still can’t get emails out.

Just text, no links, no phone number, just a product update from a small company.

Gmail is not Email anymore.

There’s plenty of real world data. I forget the name of the website but web server benchmarks are pretty good at showing the differences.
Depending on the circumstances, individual contributors that are good enough can often set their own personal requirements and get them.

Setting your own expectations and requiring that they be met isn't playing politics, it's just setting the terms of your employment that you require from your employer.

When working for others I'd rather flog myself and deliver bottom line excellence than have to cow tow to some low level managers whims or plans for promotion.

I remember a 10x engineer friend of mine (a better engineer and generally smarter person than myself) who when he was younger, on the first day of a new job was gotten onto by some HR exec about how he used the elevator, it was something boring, insignificant and not even wrong (so insignificant I can no longer remember the details) that he was "corrected" on, and in that moment he realized he could ignore HR on almost anything, they weren't going to fire him for some perceived, undocumented, etiquette breach, he's a high value employee.

And some companies give you exactly 8 hours of work. I once had a job working in a 90 degree warehouse taking boxes out of boxes and putting them in other boxes. 8 hours on the dot. Clocked by the minute. Everyday. To this day I don't take for granted being stressed out working "overtime" software projects.
Maybe so. A government source says:

> Even though average miles travelled for commuting purposes has declined to 799 miles travelled per person in 2020, a decrease of 37% compared to 2019 (1,276 miles travelled per person) and an overall decrease of 43% compared to 2002 (1,400 miles travelled per person)

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-travel-sur...

So, still close to an order of magnitude less than my anecdotal data. The bottom line is that the US definitely has a lot of sprawl.

I have been monitoring my indoor house air for two years now, and attempting to keep my air as healthy as possible. I have found that:

1) If you are lucky enough to live in an area with clean air, opening a window is orders of magnitude quicker and more effective way to clean air.

2) Gas stoves are the worst thing you can do to your house air (a fume Hood can partially mitigate this)

3) You should be weary of using any cleaning product without ventilation (open windows for a whole day)

4) HEPA filters work, but slowly. Realize you can sneeze into these things and some % of your sneeze goes right through/around the filter. They need multiple passes to fully clean the air. Big quiet HEPA filters are the way to go.

5) Activated Carbon filters grab the stuff HEPA can't but they are very slow at it, and I haven't found anything commercial that works. The thin black layer on filters doesn't work, you need something more commercial like the ones people use when they are home growing weed. IMO, the effect of these is really hard to measure and I wouldn't personally suggest this right now.

6) Humidity control is important for health and has a relationship to air particulates

All of this work and basically I open windows any nice days, when I'm cleaning, and when I cook. Many HEPA filters and a beefy carbon filter cant compete with this. Even if it means running up the heat/AC bill a bit. I'm considering some sort of heat exchanger with filters in the future, but that is overkill. I am privileged to have nice air outside though and I realize this isn't THE solution for everyone.

As far as this article goes. HEPA filters are supposed to be replaced every 6 months, but even older filters get rid of so many particulates that we KNOW are bad for you it seems worth this tradeoff. Maybe a HEPA filter with a UV light could help (not by much probably), but be weary of "24 stage filters" and all that nonsense. HEPA is all most houses really need.
I used to play a MUD (a text-based proto-MMORPG). It had a command to let you flip a coin. After many years, a player felt like they were noticing more tails than heads. They ran some experiments, and eventually an administrator checked the code - it turned out there was an off-by-one error in the coin flip logic (which inexplicably relied on generating a random number 1-10), such that coin flips had been 40/60 since the release of the game, and no one had noticed for over a decade.
By April 2020, it had roughly 200 extensions because there was no push for marketing it just yet. By the time VSCodium implemented it in June 2022, the push to move extensions over was in the works, and hundreds more were added.

Also have been using VSCodium for years and the transition had no effect on my daily work, despite needing plugins on new machines for the relatively niche language of Elixir.

Courses, books, workshops, etc. aside - one extremely traditional way is to have a trusted and socially skilled assistant, spouse, or similar person - who acts as your coach and trainer in such things. At least in private, the person needs to feel free to give you unflattering feedback. And if you need help with presentations, both you and the person need enough time for you to practice your presentations with only that person as your test audience.

The title of the press article is too optimistic. It looks like an interesting new way to explain the formation of the first RNA but it's still not a 100% determination of the origin of life.

(And perhaps this is a wrong method, and the real method produces RNA easier but we didn't discover it yet.)
This reminds me of how Apple (and likely Google at some point) scans all your photos for "illegal content" and how the defaults are set up:

* WhatsApp will accept incoming messages from accounts not in your contacts

* WhatsApp will save all incoming photos to your library

* iCloud will upload all photos in your library to the cloud

Scary stuff.
Some links are given a second chance (happened to me once with dang contacting me directly to give a link to repost and give it some front page time). I'm guessing resetting the comment timestamps to be relative to the new repost makes it look more coherent.
Fortunately there are a couple of bright lines that can be drawn between those two hypothetical laws.

Firstly, there is only one front page of each edition of the NYT, and the page has a very limited data/readability capacity. On Twitter, every user's page is a front page if you want it to be (although admittedly the recommendation of people/tweets by "the algorithm" starts to feel like an editorial decision, which invites further scrutiny).

More significantly, though, once an organization has built a social or telephone network, it is actually more expensive to disconnect or delete messages based on the opinions contained within them than it is to just allow them to continue moving between users. This is in contrast to the (physical) NYT, where editors necessarily have to whitelist every piece of content, and forcing articles past that whitelist has significant cost implications (even if no one reads them).

Not sure where that 90/10 ratio comes from...

wondering what you know about how many cases are decided by plea bargain rather than trial, where the plea bargain is coerced rather than voluntary?

wondering also what your opinion is of felony drug convictions (for possession)? Technically a crime, but can you name the harm?

But more seriously wondering about your unwillingness to believe that people can change, and unwillingness to allow for redemption or forgiveness.

Which ultimately means you don't believe in justice. If society has decided that a certain crime has a penalty of 5 years in prison, then after 5 years the person has paid their debt to society. They are no longer a criminal, that debt is paid.

There seems to be a myth that Rust is unusual in being memory safe. All modern GCed languages are memory safe (assuming you don't do anything obviously unsafe like manipulate raw pointers, which some languages might let you do if you really want to).

>It is ironic to build super safe software, then deploying them on kubernetes, written in a GC'd language prone to nil dereference errors.

Nil dereference errors don't demonstrate an absence of memory safety. If the runtime checks for a nil reference before dereferencing and then raises an exception, that's perfectly safe.
