I trust those with more expertise on the matter understand they nuances and difficulties here better than most or any of us do. This is Twilio we’re talking about - they turned down a ton of money in 2022 political advertising to protect their customers from campaigns that were overly aggressive and had ignored customer requests to opt out. They’re not money grabbing thieves. That’s all to say I imagine this issue is more complex than most of us understand.

I will say though this isn’t a great look and hopefully Twilio addresses it. Perhaps there are significant trade-offs to enabling this option by default, but it does _seem_ (from an admittedly naive perspective) like perhaps it’s better to start folks with the training wheels on and make sure they know how to ride the bike before you let them go in the street.
I don't find that's true at all. I've discovered quite a few genres this way that I might not have ever bothered to check out if I had to go buy an album first (after all you want to be pretty sure you are going to like it before you part with your money).
No, the problem seems to be the disillusion by Slack leadership that somehow Salesforce would incorporate Slack culture rather than Slack culture slowly being morphed into Salesforce culture.

> “The problem has been, there’s no incorporation of the Slack culture into the Salesforce culture,” Butterfield said, according to an audio recording of the meeting obtained by Fortune. “And unless there is some element of that, then it’s not integration in any sense. It’s just the elimination.”

Not sure how anyone would think a acquisition would lead to the parent company starting to incorporate bought company's culture into their own, haven't seen that in the wild anywhere.

Nevermind that one must raise the weight in order to lower it, the lowering portion is indeed highly effective to build muscle. In lowering, individual sarcomeres are pulled apart as they’re trying to shorten while the muscle is lengthening, which triggers most growth. HOWEVER, it’s the absolute last type of training you’d want to do to improve speed, power, mobility, or overall movement efficiency—all of which are quite important to operate as a human.
If done tho, it’s not the only training someone should do.

It makes you slow and also chronically sore. Further, Eccentric training recruits the least amount of active motor units compared to concentric (the most) and you can only train one muscle group at a time leading to imbalances and injury risk (eg tied to alarming uptick in non athlete knee surgeries). The reality is that eccentric-only training is great for most beach muscles, and very much not great for overall life.

The core science shows that people need to train to build a foundation of strength (which can be done in as little as 30 days) and because you maintain strength for a long time with infrequent heavy training, nearly all training should be with light resistance at higher speed, further down the force-velocity curve. New normative data from Proteus Motion just confirmed this long standing hypothesis.

For more of the science and for anyone interested in training and measuring beyond the old school squat and bench (like rotation and 3D where life happens), highly recommend:

An user asked me "You know this will cause more emigration right?" How is an affirmative answer supposed to be flamebait or unsubstantive? I would definitely love to hear those arguments.
> “Instead of a scroll bar, McCue continued, with Constellation, you'll move around the screen by grabbing objects with the mouse and flinging them.”

This is a UI idea that only took off when capacitive touchscreens happened with the iPhone. It didn’t really feel natural with mouse or stylus input. There were some pro design apps that used a “grab hand” cursor for scrolling, but to my recollection it wasn’t in consumer apps.

Mike McCue, the person giving this demo of Netscape Constellation, is now the CEO of Flipboard, a tablet news app with a focus on visual design. That sounds pretty similar to Constellation actually! (Flipboard was one of the OG iPad apps generating buzz around 2011-12. I was surprised they’re still around today.)
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a huge nerd when it comes to optimizing training programs.

This seems like it could be as big of a hack as Zone 2 training [0] was when I discovered it. It is amazing how little we know about our bodies given that we all have one!

I have started opening new windows based on tasks; everything related to that task is on that window. Once the task is done, I close the window so all the tabs go with it. Quite satisfying to close a window with 30-40 tabs. Chrome also allows naming windows so I name each window according to the task.
>There are professional climbers who are 'heavy'.

Who? The heaviest I can honestly think of would be Chris Scharma, Magnus Midtbo, Jimmy Webb and maybe Jan Hojer, but all of them would be considered pretty skinny by normal standards. Scharma and Webb are probably around 6' 160-170 lbs, Jan is around 175 I think but he's 6'3", and Magnus is 5'8" and 158 lbs or so but has incredibly strong fingers.

Climbing is a strength to weight sport, so being heavier will almost always be worse than being lighter no matter what. It's why you don't see as many tall professional climbers as you would expect.
For some styles of climbing powerful muscle-up type dynamic movements are an effective way of solving a problem, especially in competetive indoor bouldering.

Climbing is adaptive, and usually there is more than one way to solve a problem, and one is encouraged to use their body any way they can to get through a section. Climbers learn to be resourceful with the assets they have.

Many elite climbers have distinctive trademark styles and are instantly tecognizeable just by how they move. However, points are not awarded for style.

Jan Hoyer is an outlier who posesses both a freakish abundance of power and span. He trained the muscle up to outrageous extremes.

Jan is the only climber to ever throw a 1-9 on the campus board. He performs many outrageous stupid climber tricks throughout this 8 minute video;

Absurd rubbish
That's not an existence proof as you stated. What you provided is an existence proof that contradicts the statement "without a symbolic approach there are no cases a robot will know what's important to you and which are not when cleaning a room".

I tried a variant:

> If a robot is tasked with cleaning up a room, would it be appropriate for the robot to throw away a piece of paper lying on the floor? - Me

> Yes, it would be appropriate for a robot that has been programmed to clean up a room to throw away a piece of paper lying on the floor. Throwing away litter is typically seen as a way to keep a space clean and orderly. However, it's important to note that the robot should be programmed to follow any relevant rules or guidelines for waste disposal. For example, the robot might need to be programmed to follow recycling guidelines, or to use a specific trash bin or receptacle. - ChatGPT

But in that response it doesn't seem to understand that maybe that piece of paper is my birth certificate or a check or an important bill that fell to the ground.

The correct answer from it, like most things in the real world, is: _it depends_.
When a manager is unhappy with an employee they reach out to HR, or HR may reach out to the manager if they have given the employee consecutive sub standard performance ratings. HR won’t let the manager just fire the employee without all the right documentation in place. It’s not that easy at companies that care about not losing wrongful termination lawsuits. Before an employee is fired the HR department wants to have documentation showing clear cause. In instances where the employee broke a policy, they will investigate, document, meet with the employee to discuss the findings and then fire them immediately after. In cases where the manager is claiming poor performance, the burden is on the manager to create compelling evidence. HR will review the PIP and check in. An employee wishing to stay employed or at least walk away with a severance should start their own documentation exercise. Raising complaints and issues directly with HR and working hard to meet the criteria in the PIP. Also contacting an employment lawyer will help. If the company thinks there is any chance you will sue, they will likely opt to offer a severance. In cases of severance the manager may get a range they have to approve. HR will offer the severance starting at the bottom of the range. Consider not accepting the first offer if it comes to that. $5 to $10k counters are usually safe but not guaranteed. Note that none of this applies in cases where the cause is layoffs.
There is a vast difference between those things. The prefixes "kilo", "mega", and "giga" have well-defined meanings that apply to every other field. A kilometer is a 1000 meters, no more, no less. Same with milliliters. Same with everything else.

No other field is coming up with their own meaning of "kilo". The meaning of the metric system is not up for debate. It is defined by the ISU. It is not a "maybe" or an "almost" or situational. It is a hard set of rules to make communication and measurement easier.

What a "byte" is depends on the implementation. It's generally 8 bits but some systems are different. It's not a hard definition like the metric system. No standards organization came together to say a byte must always and only be 8 bits in every situation.

You are comparing two completely different situations.
I speculated about the tax burden in another post, but levels of inequality were much higher in the ancient world then they are today. Putting aside that TFA doesn't really define "average laborer," 20 years of a "skilled" salary sounds like a relatively small amount of money to the wealthiest 1%.

This is just FUD. I've learned a ton from AthleanX in the past few years and love his no-nonsense approach. Especially great are all the corrective exercises he includes for posture improvement and injury prevention. The worst thing I could criticize him for is his clickbait Youtube titles - the content is solid though so idgaf.
The setup app is typically embedded in the firmware, so you need a copy of the firmware. The post you reference in your reply shows how you can potentially use flashrom to get that, but in some cases you can also download firmware updates from a vendor and extract image contents using uefitool.
Aside from the allegations: good. Carta is one of those apps that is so unusable and broken and somehow valuable it leaves me bewildered and depressed.

One interesting facet, they are using Google Meet to stream drone footage for targeting and C&C, which if the US military used, we'd hear a huge outcry about.
In my search over the years for a decentralised platform to host a forum, (mostly as host sites come and go, change plans etc) I didn't find anything that quite met my needs. Over the last couple of years I noted a few platforms that offer anonymous content which were good for blogs and echo chambers, but still not a fit for an interactive forum.

Getting away from decentralised p2p, yes there needs to be a new global web, a Simpleweb that is organised into various categories, each site host needing to use a tool to classify according to content, each static page, and identify dynamic pages, with the option of a static page being editable for x months after creation. Every so often I toy with all the various identifiers one would need to ensure that a person could search for a non spam, non banner site, no redirection content, (has their own file storage) and of a certain file type and get results that are entirely legal in their origin IP address.

> whether much of the growth of the last 10-15 years (enormous empty cities) was substantive or useful at all.

I don't think anyone who has seen the development in China over the last 10-15 years first-hand would say this.

There has been massive development in nearly every area, both in quantity and quality. Just to give one example, anyone who follows the scientific literature in just about any field will be aware of the massive increase in high-quality publications coming out of China over the last decade.

There are one or two examples of "ghost cities" (though most supposed "ghost cities" actually become populated over time), but that doesn't negate the massive, real development that is visible everywhere in China.
I think your interpretation is too charitable to Marcus' viewpoint. He made the analogy that deep learning practitioners are "looking under the streetlight" for the key to general intelligence. This means he thinks that deep learning itself is not sufficient to reach general intelligence, and there is some missing ingredient. This is a very strong claim, which I don't see any evidence for. Your comment suggests the opposite -- that deep learning may give rise to symbolic reasoning as an emergent property, that there may be no missing ingredient.

Personally, I'm agnostic. Deep learning may reach some sort of asymptote but it may be entirely possible to "build a ladder to the moon."
> pull-ups kill me

To build volume with pullups, complete your sets with negative pullups as gp describes (nb: at least three seconds down from chin over bar to full hang) when you fail the full pull-up (at least two seconds up, from full hang to chin over bar) any more.[1]

>> I am trying to build upper body strength

1. Keep a diary recording every session. 2. Stay away from the bench press. Focus on your back chain, arms, and grip: deadlifts, pullups (weighted, when you can do a set of 20 body weight), and overhead presses. Add squats and weighted press-ups if you insist. (Make sure you get taught both proper form and proper warm-up sequencing and always use them!)

Observe that these are all exercises that most people hate doing. For good reasons: they are hard work, and nearly all the gain is in your back, which you can't see in the mirror.

1. I used to see a lot of people doing what they claimed were pullups, with only a ten inch range of motion. Not helpful in real life. Start from a full hang: shoulders under hands, arms straight.
> labor is costly

Why would one need labor to operate a safe-deposit box business? Can't you just have a very secure warehouse full of boxes, with warehouse robots that will grab those boxes and put them into a drop slot when someone taps the appropriate smart card?

Before anyone says that that's impractical/too expensive: there are robotic parking garages that do this for cars, and that's a much higher OpEx.
While I wouldn't put things that could single-handedly grant access in there - since you likely won't be checking on if it's been compromised that frequently - I think it's still great for things like backup 2FA codes or recovery passwords for encrypted media that's stored separately. Make breaking into the box one of the things an attacker would need to do.

I would not put my life savings in jewelry or something in there, but having an off-premise spot for emergency backup codes and stuff like that? Where's a better option?
> the contractor is looking to make money, just like the YouTuber

That's a very valid point. The question is who has more skin in the game. Contractors have more of a positive feedback: if I am satisfied, I will recommend them to my friends and relatives. YouTubers may have more of negative feedback (not that much since dislike button is gone), but it takes someone to call their bullshit and write a refuting comment. I don't think lots of core YouTube userbase is inclined to do so, the default behavior there is to make a "pffff" and swipe away.
That’s interesting. Did anyone actually choose to swap wealth? I can’t imagine why one would choose that option.
Then you're missing the contradiction. Average user won't pay for search, and paying tech-savvy user may not be convinced. I have nothing against their product - my critique is to improve their product showcase.

I never knew pointing out excuses was a 'dick move' when we are doing the same theoretically (mining web data). In my defense, you could take your opinion elsewhere.
That's an old meme. Audio "just works" for years. With pipewire, it's actually better than MacOs and Windows in many scenarios. (yes, yes, there's always some one-off issue, but that's not Linux-specific - I've got some "audio broken on windows" stories to trade too, and can tell you about macbooks going right-channel-only mono when using specific BT codecs)
So there’s a few really good resources on what we would now call minimalistic training.

Most people who go to the Gym do not need to squeeze out every ounce of progression. Unlike the fitness industry which is obsessed with small percentage gains because they are already in the 90+ percentile.

The study sighted really doesn’t do it justice to explain how much is enough to get the balanced, healthy long term impacts of going to the gym.

Go watch Jeff Nippards video on minimalist training, he also has a video interviewing someone whose PhD research is in this area.

tl;dr weight training for 45 minutes to an hour 3 times a week is often enough to gain 80% of the benefits from going to the gym (this excludes cardio vascular capacity and health)
I am enjoying seeing so many different training styles in the comments, and the commonality in some of them. We train using pause sets which sounds like what you mean by the static portion of a lift? Unless you mean the squeeze at the top of a lift?

Squat down, pause for a few seconds, then up.
Doubtless. Even so, the article does mention that safe deposit box insurance is available from third party providers. I don't know about the rates, but I'd imagine if anything it's probably cheaper to insure a half million dollars worth of valuables stuck in a bank vault than the same items stored in your bedroom. Although there's also the possibility of including the items in the box as part of a homeowner's insurance policy. [0] The problem being that some things people put in boxes have a sentimental value that makes them irreplaceable. You can be compensated for Grammy's brooch but it's not the same as Grammy's brooch.

It's been known for awhile that modern humans aren't the only tool users. Neanderthals and other archaic humans are straightforward examples, but western chimpanzees also do it pretty frequently. Even outside the apes, macaques are known to use stone tools for foraging and sexual gratification.

I would be easy if it was that easy.

Being productive is important, though. The Billionaire Fastlane, however, will tell you that you need a broader view to come up with a great idea.

After all the (healthy) idea behind learning and information aggregation in the first place would be that you learn all that stuff to be better prepared towards taking the right (intelligent and educated) actions.

So there might be an individual balance that you have to find/develop and keep up. The trivial solutions at the edges never seem to satisfy.

I don't really agree. Different parts of a single corporation can have different culture even if they arose entirely internally. And ownership does not imply there is no operational autonomy. It's all just people, and people make the culture and the rules and decide how to run things.
That makes sense with client/server databases and if you are trying to separately manage database resources from app resources. When you use SQLite you have basically decided that the database and the app is one integrated unit that you will manage as a whole.
I've watched that happen at companies and seen the "startup" fling servers out in front of the firewall that got hacked in minutes due to default root passwords because part of the deal was completely bypassing all of the rigid bureaucratic internal IT controls.

shocking.
Large-scale problems that look like computational fluid dynamics, graph analysis, spatiotemporal analysis, various kinds of computational science and physics models, etc. Just about anything that involves modeling and analyzing behaviors in the physical world. All of these involve high-bandwidth parallel orchestration at the data structures and algorithms level. The quality of the network is everything if your code is competently parallel. They don’t run these things on supercomputers for fun, it would be much easier if you could run these codes on AWS.

The cloud has many advantages, but high-quality inter-node bandwidth and topology isn’t one of them. In HPC, the network is the most important part of the system.

Visiting Georgetown is a glimpse into the Seattle of 20 years ago IMO. It has it's charm.

Amazon is definitely a turn and burn, threadbare employer that doesn't understand how to value talent and internal resources they develop. Low and mid-level employees are like chewing gum to them, lasting a year or two before Amazon spits them out.

Many of their workers embrace this mentality, making decisions based around their ephemeral stay in Seattle that normal Seattleites find off-putting.
