From the exact same quote, gas doesn't get pumped when the electricity goes out either:

> Jasper's mayor, recommended residents and visitors to the park ensure their essential electric devices remain fully charged and that their vehicles have full tanks of gas — since gas stations rely on electricity.

I think there's a huge logical gap that people have when it comes to EVs.

The number of places with functioning gas pumps but no electricity is a rounding error.

How can it ever be meaningful if you're not there, you're just a little head in a window with an audio delay?

You know the unfortunate fact that taller people are paid more, well when you're WFH your height is 2 inches in your little Zoom square.

Not trying to be mean, just being realistic about the vibe I'm sensing from the people big on being back in the office and I think the dominoes are starting to topple.
I’m an eng manager at a public company.

Short answer - relationships cannot be made via zoom. Thus, interactions are transaction based. I can provide a million examples of why this is a fact in as simple as online dating where you always want to end up meeting the person and digital correspondence is not sufficient to cross the boundary of trust between 2 humans.

…and trust is the one thing that gets you promoted, gets you the benefit of the doubt when you need to leave the office and inconveniently make your coworkers pickup your slack, provides a social barrier via awkward convo when your manager has to let someone go and is debating who vs the simplicity of 3 clicks to removing even a more productive person with whom they have no relationship with by just removing a person on slack and zoom and your jira board. Do you let go the person you know that has 2 kids and you met their kids and they do ok work vs the solo ic who does not seem to want to talk about anything but their work and go home? Surprise surprise most managers would easily coach the ok person they feel closer to vs even the most productive person who they cant get a read on and assume they may even leave some day. Humans being humans.

Trust also forms camaraderie, your tribe in an office, the people you can gripe to with trust in their silence vs someone can easily record or back talk you with your manager via zoom. In office, you can see where people move and who they talk to and thus their relationships.

Therefore, you cannot solve building better relationships via more technological solutions. Humans grasp many small pieces of meta data via in person contact.

Small companies may want whatever your solution is, but large ones where divisions need to scale and trust needs to scale already know this truth and will not buy into it. They would rather wait for covid to be less fearful amongst their constituents and bring them in office which is already happening at banks and apple and soon to be many other orgs next year.

BUT! For the fully remote small companies where work is distributed amongst maybe 20 people in different geos, maybe some small tools will work.

Just remember, a bunch of startups tried to build products to address this at the start if the pandemic and failed learning this truth that human relationships need in person contact.

And as you solicit more advice, notice how the proponents of wfh typically are in roles that are more transactional in nature or accept the risks of or want a more transactional relationship with their work. Most people, especially young ones without enough background understanding how human orgs work, will think they want wfh but in fact want in office with some flexibility to get their outside work life tasks done more easily. And it is not until peoples heads are on chopping blocks or they are passed up for a promotion that they will realize the mistake of wanting 100% remote work.
I have some skills idea for Leon after the official release. The idea is to centralize all of them into your own hardware that you control. Then Leon can be seen as a "second brain".

Let's say we build a budget tracker, then we can ask Leon "How much did I spend last month in groceries?". Mini apps are coming up on Leon, feel free to read the latest blog post, I'm sharing some thoughts on it.

We can also think of a tracker skill where Leon can understand your location habits. Like if you spend 10+ minutes at a specific place, then you can flag it as "gym". Then when you go to this place again, Leon will trigger a counter and count the time you are at the gym. The next week you can ask "Leon, how long time did I spend at the gym last week?". It can be gym, office, or anything you could think of.

Such use cases will be possible to make after the official release and the mobile client.
I can tell you're in India. Just a few thoughts from a fellow Indian:

- You are dramatically underestimating the cost of food and energy in Europe and America.

- Countries with free functional education and healthcare have a much higher effective tax rate than India.

- With the exception of Mumbai, a senior software engineer should be able to afford a house in any Indian city. If that is not the case, it's very likely that you are getting short-changed. And keep in mind the median sales price of houses in the US from April to June was 440k USD. That's more than 3.5 crores.

- The pay difference between India and the West for software engineers has shrunk dramatically over the past few years. If you've been at the same company for a long time, maybe it's time to switch.

- Top up health insurance is cheap. There really is no reason why an illness should financially ruin you.

I never expected to run out of gas on an interstate. We aren't talking about a highway in the middle of nowhere Nevada, supposedly Kansas is populated with little towns everywhere (which seem to close their gas stations at night).

And ya, when you are at some place like Crater Lake National Park, you don't really think too deeply about how the next gas station might be 100 miles out.

If I was going into the Australian outback, preparations are necessary, but running out of gas due to poor planning or unexpected situations is at least as common as running out of battery due to similar poor planning (or unexpected situations).

Lake Tahoe is nearer to you and has a volume of 36 cu mi (150 km3; 120,000,000 acre⋅ft). Since it sits at an elevation of 6,225 ft, the path would be mostly downhill.

So call the folks living in Incline Village on the North side of the lake and discuss your plans.

Hurry now, let's get on with it.

Buterin, is right, the security will come down to fees when all the coins are mined. If the fees aren't high enough to keep the miners interested then the network will start to fail as the miners stop mining. But that's not expected to happen until 2140. A lot will happen between now and then. At some point the miners will have to deal with that but that's a long time from now.

My guess is that in 100+ years there will be many innovations to the Bitcoin protocol. All of them will make sure no one loses their coins. Self interest is the motivator for that.

The bigger danger is being regulated out of existence but that's not happening anytime soon.
Your first point is provably false because Musk thinks about stock price often, and posts on his Twitter accordingly.

‘O’ has an interesting backstory. The shape comes from phonecian ayin and has the meaning of “eye”, from which it takes its form. It probably had a sound close to the Arabic ayin (a kind of guttural growl where you half choke yourself).

However the Greeks were probably just as confused by that sound as non-Arabs are by it today, so they instead gave it a vowel sound.

‘A’ had a similar story. In Phonecian it represents a glottal stop and has the name ‘alep. However a glottal stop at the start of a word is quite hard to hear if you aren’t used to it, so the Greeks seemingly assumed that the letter represented the second phoneme of ‘alep, an /a/ sound. Hence the alphabet was invented, a mixture of vowels and consonants with equal status.
Also this is kernel code running in a kernel contex, so the code can’t just use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex}[1] because Mutex uses user-space pthread_mutex_lock[2]. The implementation is knarly™ multi-threaded kernel code so it would probably require unsafe custom code (rather than using kernel locking and concurrency-management mechanisms which were not used by the existing code for presumably valid reasons). The rust code could easily have had the same fault. Excepts from [3]:

The VFS layer is a complicated beast; it must manage the complexities of the filesystem namespace in a way that provides the highest possible performance while maintaining security and correctness. Achieving that requires making use of almost all of the locking and concurrency-management mechanisms that the kernel offers, plus a couple more implemented internally
the kernel may find itself with a set of in-flight Unix-domain sockets that are only referenced by unconsumed (and unconsumable) SCM_RIGHTS datagrams; at this point, it has a cycle of file structures holding the only references to each other.
there is more complexity than has been described above and some gnarly locking issues involved in carrying out these operations. See Viro's message for the gory details.

rust is magic, but it doesn’t make us infallible.

> The real problem is lack of incentives. The big corps do not care about e-mail. It doesn't make money and isn't easily controllable. You can't turn it into a walled garden and lock users in. So, it gets minimal attention, and only defensive measures are developed.

Is this true? Even for consumer stuff, the only Google product besides search that seems widely popular is Gmail.

For enterprise, Microsoft is pulling in billions from office products. Without digging into their statements I know from my own experience that enterprise email services constitute a core piece of this.

For consumers, switching costs are low (mostly just inconvenient to go through all of your accounts) but not relative to the drawbacks of using corporate email providers which is zero unless you value your privacy.
Definitely. We can think of connecting such basic skills with more advanced skills too. The fact that Leon has a modular architecture makes it very flexible. We just need to let our imagination drives us.
I know these things. I think some of the dojo architecture was a reaction to their FSD chips being over optimized for resnet style models. They’re targeting extremely large models which is a new frontier for ML and in my view not the panacea they hoped it would be.

I think with better ML they wouldn’t need so many chips, be it NVidia or Dojo.
I like that I can just opt out of really knowing my co-workers remotely. No need to ever chat.
If a third of consumers _should_ have been denied because they were not credit-worthy, then there were no errors. You need to look at the false negative rate, not the absolute number of people denied for financial products.
If your budget allows it, doing an in-person week every quarter is my preferred approach.

Before, when working in the office, we used to follow the SAFe framework, which promotes doing a 2-day planning workshop every 4 to 6 sprints.

I got to know more about my colleagues during those 2 days offsite than during the 4 in-office sprints preceding it.
I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad running Ubuntu 22.04 with a single cable plugged to an HP thunderbolt 3 120W dock which then connected to three monitors all running at 2K 60HZ plus a host of other peripherals.

The Intel Mac I had previously wasn’t able to do this but thankfully my company allows Linux laptops.

So the recommendation to just avoid Linux is unfair IMO.
Yes. I still did not figured out how exactly, any thought?
What do you know about American non-profit salaries? Or even German ones?

A sensible thing to do before proclaiming a knee-jerk opinion is to get some information from this wonderful global network we are all connected to. Isn't context useful?

Now, I have to admit, (because I just did it) that when you google something like "charity financial salary statements", you will get garbage hits, meaning "free" websites (and people referring you to them like nolo) that require you to sign up and jump through hoops.

One basic aspect of doing research on the Internet is knowing that (when) you don't have to play that game, because there are official sources.

Regarding this topic, there is something in the US called an IRS Form 990, and you can look them up at the unbelievably logical URL:

https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/tax-exempt-organiz...

This is how you can look at any tax return for a non-profit and it says right at the top "Open to Public Inspection". How nice.

I used to volunteer with a state chapter of a mental health advocacy organization, so I looked up the national organization (which is separate but affiliated). The CEO makes ~$250K and the other executives are all around $150K. This for revenue in the range of a few tens of millions per year.

They also pay several contractors (not individuals, but business names) on the order of $200-300K per year.

Now of course, the state and local organizations that one might assume do most of the real work, do not pay anyone like that. I seem to recall that the leader of the state chapter was something like $70K or less, several years ago. And the director position would cycle in and out - I don't think they typically stayed for long. Everybody else was making a lot less and extremely overworked and sometimes burned out. They would have interns, but no budget to hire them.

In conclusion, whether or not $350K is obscene to Germans, you are completely wrong in your gratuitous comment about SV bros, as what I just read implies that people in the non-profit world in the US would at least not be shocked by such a salary.
And this is especially true for 30mph ebikes. Those really don't mix with pedestrians.
I just started at a 100% remote company. I don't feel a loss of social interaction here, but I did at my previous company. There's a couple things I would note if you want to succeed with a remote culture:

- Have very direct conversations on your team about how you want communication to go. Our agreements sit right next to our team charter.

- How the company manages chat seems to affect how people communicate. If there's zero organization and everything gets dumped into a single channel, then people also stop bantering in that channel.

- Company chat channels shouldn't just be for business. Have some community channels that let people coordinate around topics. Supply "feed" channels where people can dump pictures and videos; I tend to post pictures of my dog, plants, or brews.

- Let people create channels on their own but give them a framework for doing so. That way they're more discoverable and descriptive. For instance, all of our community channels start with #comm- and team channels start with #team-

- Email should only be for formal and external communication. Having all of your communication in one place, for the most part, is quite nice.

- Establish quasi-working hours. My team has a window where all or most of us are online. It's not super strict, but it's there so we can coordinate. Most of our work is done asynchronously though.

- Have a stated bias towards using video. We also use the video tool built into our chat application instead of something external like Zoom.

- All meetings are remote first.
I don't know how you figure that. People move every day on their own.

People can literally just start walking east for free.

In SANE, which now has an IPP module, it would be awesome if the scanner was supported with an open-source driver.
I guess people who are totally trusting of and subservient to government may struggle to empathize with others who don't feel the same way.
Literally just "Name/Name 1:1" so it's indistinguishable from other 1:1s, but if you're in a remote org and they aren't okay with and encouraging these kinds of recurring meetings, it's probably a toxic environment. They don't dominate a calendar, maybe a grand total of 2.5 hrs a week at most.
Coffee/tea/donut chats. There are chat apps like Donut but you can also set these up manually. Everybody who is interested joins a chat channel then an admin generates random pairings each week.

I've never been able to get a Mac (currently using an M1 Pro) to get multiple monitors to share a physical port - eg DP daisy chaining or 2 monitors on a TB3 dock. It might be able to do it with a TB4 dock though?
Can't you just haul in the managers then? I don't need or desire anyone's trust. My code gets reviewed, so there is no real need to trust me. Bring in the decision makers and leave the minions like me who just silently spin in chairs during meetings at home.
You are right that this won't work well with any language that assumes a "normal" processor. But a small language that is written for it could be fine.
Yes it is possible to create skills actions based on the core. It is the main strength of Leon.
For the sharing part, I will develop a platform to centralize skills so it will be easy to share skills with the community. A bit similar as the npm registry.

You don't necessarily need to have gone through VC's to go public. That's more or less orthogonal to the issue of going public. But regardless of whether you take VC money or not, there are lots of rules around trading stock and going public.

That said, there is a mechanism that is more, well, "direct" than the traditional IPO process you usually read about. That mechanism is known, appropriately enough, as a "direct listing" or "direct public offering." See:

https://www.investopedia.com/investing/difference-between-ip...

https://www.nyse.com/direct-listing

etc.

Note that there are still plenty of rules and regulations involved, but it is a lighter weight process than the traditional IPO. But as the linked articles note, there are downsides to DL/DPO for the company who is selling, with one of the biggest being the fact that there's is no guarantee that any shares will sell.
Replacing an ev motor sounds easier to me than an engine. Assuming you can get parts

The desire for social connection at work might be dependent on phase-of-life.

My first job out of college had lots of socializing. In fact, that's where I met my wife.

Now I have kids. I don't really want to socialize with coworkers.

Socializing with coworkers was low before COVID. Now it's even slightly lower and I'm okay with that.

Edit: Also the impact of social connection on productivity might depend a lot on role and personalities involved.
Sara Blakely's father apparently asked his children at the diner table how they failed that day.

I'm no Rust expert, but I believe reading a file line by line, splitting them, converting to numbers and doing something with them is just a handful of lines using methods on iterators. I suppose it was much harder in the initial release.
>This seems so shortsighted it'd do well together with the vitrum flexile story. Just like engineers after WWII, during and after the Cold War, you'd want to give them a comfortable position using their talent for something more productive than developing military-purposes missiles.

This isn't like that situation at all. The WWII scientists could build bombs, but not easily: it isn't easy to get your hands on enriched uranium or plutonium at all. It seems like very few people can understand me here, so let me try to re-iterate: I'm proposing a situation where anyone able of operating a smartphone is able to download the information to build a planet-busting doomsday bomb, and build it in his living room using readily-available, common, everyday tools and materials. Once the knowledge is out there (thanks to the internet, which also didn't exist back then), you can't really squelch it. And you can't restrict the tools or materials needed because they're common. The only thing that was missing was the knowledge of physics needed to put them together.

For a somewhat similar story, look at Harry Turtledove's sci-fi story "The Road Not Taken", where some slightly dim-witted aliens attack Earth using medieval cannon-type technology, and hilariously lose, but were able to get here because they discovered some overlooked but simple branch of physics we somehow missed, which allowed them to easily achieve FTL transit.
