The problem is that many interpretations of Islam (aiui) strictly forbid showing depictions of Muhammad. So I think the argument would be he's trying to force Muslims out of his class, or some such.

I asked it to explain it to me like I'm Shrek.

Imagine that the GPS satellites orbiting the Earth are like the magic lanterns in the sky, sending signals down to a receiver (like the one in your phone or car). The receiver can use those signals to figure out how far away it is from each of the magic lanterns. By measuring the distance to multiple lanterns, the receiver can triangulate its position and figure out exactly where it is on the surface of the Earth. So even if you're a big, green ogre like Shrek, you can use GPS to find your way around and never get lost!
I’m in management consulting

One of the most successful trends we’re seeing lately is something only brave companies are willing to do…

They get rid of managers entirely

Instead, for performance (instead of one on one’s for example) employees get a “counselor”

The caveat is that the counselors findings have weight

This is working very well and a few brave companies are trying it. Also employees are encouraged to say to their counselors “this project or team sucks move me to another one” and they are. They are also free to just switch counselors

If someone is constantly bouncing around, that’s a better indicator of who to get rid of than some random manager beefing with an employee

> Put macOS on iPad, you cowards.

This would finally solve one of my biggest heartbreaks with the iPad...

Not that it would be more powerful (it would be), but that the iPad Pro could run macOS and the “normie iPad” could go back to being a dead-simple experience.

With the iPad 1 and 2 I was shouting from the rooftops “get your parents an iPad, get your grandparents and iPad, get every non-tech person an iPad!”. When it came out it was opposite an overly-complicated industry with the majority of new users being terrified of pressing a button that breaks something. The iPad was a genuine solution to that in a way that nothing else was (and even now almost nothing is, including the iPad).

Let the Pros have macOS and everyone else have an elegant intuition-focused iOS.
I wish the damn game engines did this instead of playing some random-ass music in the background and in a way that tied with whatever it is you were looking at, in addition to adding reverb and whatever based on the geometry of the scene.

My eldest son when he was at school used Small Basic, which was actually a really good environment for learning, but for some silly reason (badly justified in my opinion) they didn't provide functions (you could do the equivalent of a gosub, so you had to use global variables). This made so many things much harder for kids! Glad to see this allows functions!

X was developed on VAX, 68k, and later SPARC and then x86. VAX and x86 are little-endian, while 68k and SPARC are big-endian. Portability across these platforms was important and this was the inspiration for the RPC (now gRPC) platform-independent external data representation (XDR) standards.

Things were still not perfect with portability even back then. I remember taking a class in OSF Motif where everybody in the class was using SPARC while I was using x86 Linux. The code was somewhat portable between platforms, but many of the arguments to the (Metroworks) Motif library functions needed their endianness swapped in order to work properly on Linux, so the code examples from the course would not run on Linux without modification.

I realize that there may be some performance improvements realized by removing cross-platform compatibility, but I do not believe that the performance gains are worth the loss in platform compatibility. If X.org does this, it will eliminate one of the core reasons for sticking with X vs. Wayland.

That's indeed part of it. Another part is that working at another company usually gives you new perspectives and you learn more.
So having been in a lot if companies and in turn having seen a lot of different approaches counts towards your experience, which also justifies a higher salary.

I actually got a 10k raise in one company, but only because I really didn't earn enough before.
When I quit a year later anyway for another job (which offered me another 14k raise), my employer made a counter-offer of 30k. I did not take it, but at least it gave me a perspective how much I apparently was really worth to them.
> their own large language model LaMDA, that is apparently so good it convinced a senior AI researcher that it was sentient

It is certainly worth looking into the controversy about that particular engineer (was he actually a programmer?). There's plenty of room for exciting debate to be had about defining and testing for sentience and I'm glad it stirred that debate. But researchers with far better credentials criticized his reasoning and I imagine that is quite a ubiquitous view in NLP research.

I think the Washington Post did the initial reporting and they covered it well - even criticising his arguments that e.g. the Turing test is a proper test of sentience. There's audio of their conversation in an episode of Post Reports.
Apple Weather (iOS, iPadOS, MacOS) is excellent.

WhatsApp is mostly a bent pipe connecting user devices & relying on device storage. If WhatsApp had to implement Twitter functionality and business model (with same Engineers and stack), they'd need a lot more servers too. I'd hazard the number of servers would be in the same order of magnitude
I’m so glad I have this experience before I get out of bed. Each day I have a morning “what do I remember from before getting out of bed” review, right after I greet my pup for the morning. It’s mostly lost, but a lot of times during the day something will come back to me.
I came back to read your comments.

I don’t understand your benchmark of ‘gas chambers’.

Sorry for this. I guess you can only speak in broad strokes, you can't give us any real details or put anything out into the sunshine. Although you did give us a bit of intel. I guess you'll keep your NDA in force.

I read the short article and your summary.

Your summary is terrible and misses several details

3. The primary sources depend on slow melting of the snowpack. But the water is coming in too fast to form a snow pack and gets washed away

If I could plug an iPhone into a thunderbolt/USB4 dock with dual monitors, keyboard, mouse and it threw up full fat, administrator access MacOS on the screens - I would be the owner of an iPhone Pro

That's a no brainer, it would be my work computer. With my MBP, I already offload all compilation/language server/development processing to a remote computer with a 5900x - so all I need is a client that can run most apps (browser, code editor shell, etc) fairly quickly

That goes for Android phones too - except with a Linux distro rather than MacOS
Sure, that belief isn’t backed up by existing evidence but it’s hardly worth rehashing again.

Anyway something more interesting you said was the belief that all life came from a single cell. It’s unclear if all life ever to exist on earth had cells or if they evolved later. Also, we can’t tell if life showed up independently fairly frequently but was out competed or just once.

This is somewhat dependent on how life is defined. Prions replicate, but aren’t generally considered alive, yet being fairly simple they should have shown up quite frequently due to random chance. The more complex self replicating matter must be to be considered alive the higher the hurdle for life to have formed randomly but the more likely for simpler self replicating matter to evolve into life. Yet, saying evolution of non living mater results in life seems to twist the meaning around unpleasantly.

PS: Perhaps we should have a new definition between dead matter and living matter which is self catalyzing in the right environment. With viruses or prions siting at the complex side and crystals at the simple end.

Watching this video is a reminder that if we could just enforce a minimum level of cardiovascular health via something like a three mile run time limitation or something like that the police force would naturally weed out people with poor impulse control and probably be overall a more humane and decent force.

The best managers I have had are the ones I've rarely seen. Don't misunderstand, I see them all the time, I just don't have to interact with them all the time. They aren't in every meeting, every SCRUM, every this or that. They check in routinely and ask if I'm okay, then step back out of the way. We have scheduled 1:1s once per month so that come reviews there are no surprises. They also step in when a team member is struggling and rehome that person.

If you're a manager, you absolutely suck at your job if, come reviews, the person you review is shocked about their review. Some people are dense, I get that, but you don't get a pass for that.
OMG. This man must be treated as a national treasure.
I wonder what is generally the best way is to trim excess in the correct way.

How do you seperate doers and value add from dead weight. Maybe some kind of 360 review where you try to find out who people go to when there is a problem. I suspect you'd find a small percentage of people that are known for sorting issues and these are the managers you want to keep.

For example, a couple months ago a company I consult to had an email get pushed through 5 people in a team that needed something simple to be done. It wasn't my job but when it came via me I did it, was like a 5 min task any one of the previous people could have done. If I was the manager of that team I would ask each person on that thread to explain why they added someone else to the email vs just getting it done as you end up with 6 people on an email chain for no good reason. This kind of behaviour is common in this company and its quite amazing to me. Full of people shuffling work vs doing it.

> ...identifying the tools that help them learn best.

Ideally, we could present students with a variety of study techniques and let them choose what works best for them. The problem is that most students don't have the judgement or enthusiasm to pursue it on their own, so we have to spend some time forcing it to see what sticks. It's tremendously gratifying to be able to observe a student become a more effective learner, but that happens only with a small minority (leading to dark moments of questioning my value as a teacher).

Another problem is evaluating "what works". In school, outcomes are assumed to be adequately represented by grades. However, different teachers will emphasize and test differently, so specific study methods may not be equally helpful in all situations.

Again, my very point is that caring, at all, about median-ness of a person when it comes to identity, is very much a True Scotsman game. It is reversing the directionality between an identity and a cultural norm, and redefining the identity by the norm, instead of the other way around. Lots of people do that, many as a proxy for a completely different argument, but lots of people also do lots of things that aren't sound reasoning.
It’s impossible to find anyone interesting on there
I’m surprised there isn’t more discussion of life as a kind of information processing. This would put life on a spectrum from viruses (very little or arguably no intrinsic information processing) to humans, which can process even abstract information. But it would also include the kind of life we might potentially find in Jupiter’s clouds, or in the layers of the sun.

Discussing life in terms of Darwinian evolution or chemical complexity seems to miss the point. I’d be happy to consider an AI or a cloud “alive”, even if (like a virus) it requires help to replicate.

Not necessarily faster, but you definitely have way more leg power.

Various hypotheses on how a larger brain is actually used to control a larger body and thus doesn't translate into specific "brain power" usable for intelligent activities are unsound.
You’re being deliberately obtuse and are repeating propaganda that’s irrelevant for total water usage.

Per acre suburbia consumes more, but as it stands farming is the vast majority of water consumption overall. It doesn’t matter how efficiently they use it. If farmers don’t make major cuts the lake will be gone.

Getting rid of lawns and golf courses will barely slow down the decline, let alone change the direction. You’re talking about optimizing 20% of the water users and suggesting the 70% is fine, which is insane.

Put another way, if all urban usage stopped immediately, the lake would still dry up because of the farmers irrigating away with reckless abandon.

As the article points out, this happened once already when SLC was much smaller and it was just lucky enough to be rescued by a thousand year rain event.

Farmers can pound sand, regardless of their water rights. Constitutional water rights for a shared resource are a travesty. They should pay for it like the rest of us so market dynamics can properly identify what is important and the lake can be protected.

Everyone has to be employed so it's better to keep adding more crap to products and make those products disposable in order to give people a job.
Much as predicted. Now that Musk has stepped back from needing to be the main character every day Twitter usage remains solid. Friends who are minor but successful influencers on that platform report about a 10% gain in attention and think it retains or improves its existing position.
I don't base existence of GOD on this. Simply GOD is only thing that does not need anything to be based on so it is possible to explain existence.
I was trying to point that evolution is statistically close to impossible (from my understanding) and GOD made it possible. Thus aliens are unlikely.
And it seems like there is no sign of aliens in holly books. If there was aliens and it was conflicting with holly books then it would mean that holly books i believe are fake however i am not saying that existence of Aliens would conflict with Holly books either (I am not sure about that).
The explanation of this existence to you is what GOD means to you. And you need to define some element to explain this existence. And what would you define eventually means GOD to you.
