the average tenure for software engineers at most companies is two years, so yes

it's not just onboarding, a newer/more junior engineer is much more likely to misunderstand something and introduce a bug if specific context is required to understand the code

I agree with this. The titles of Staff and Principal, generally, include some responsibility for teaching others (writing articles is one of many good methods for this) and helping to recruit people to your team through external marketing.
A lot of good answers in this thread, but another thing to consider -- have you had COVID? Most people with long COVID started with a mild or asymptomatic case, and brain fog is a long COVID symptom. Do you have any other long COVID symptoms, like shortness of breath the you didn't have before? Sudden fatigue? Loss of vision? There is a long list of things, and a lot of them are also just symptoms of aging in general, so it's hard to tell, but if you have a lot of the symptoms and they all started within the last two years, you may have long COVID.
You're the second person who's created an account here just to argue with me. I'm honored.

I'm not gonna pretend to know what's going on here regarding the cramps. It doesn't look like there are any studies about this phenomenon yet. But assuming every one of these women is lying and calling their pain a "pantomime" is unwarranted.

A transgender woman taking HRT is hormonally female, and many of the symptoms of PMS are believed to be hormonally driven and don't directly involve the uterus. If hormonally female people are experiencing symptoms of PMS, a condition known to be linked to female hormones, I don't think it's a leap at all to suspect that they may be experiencing PMS.
Language is used to communicate. And not needing to be absurdly verbose in everything that one says, is a virtue and a need for efficient transmission of concepts and idea.

So when someone says "Python is an interpreted language" they are pleading to an implicit preexisting shared knowledge about the nature of the most commonly found usage of the concept.

Granted, when this shared knowledge doesn't match, that's where misunderstandings can happen, but that's the nature of human language. In this case I'd be hard pressed to think that any misunderstanding could have been possible for the immense majority of people reading this.

It's a perpetual frustration to me thay electricity is so much more expensive than gas. It feels like we have to be doing something wrong that processing & trucking fuel out to people os so much cheaper a form of energy than what we get from the electrical grid.

If we take the EPAs 33.4 kWh to a gallon equivalency, and say gas costs $5/gallon, that'd be $0.15/kWh. A good portion of America doesnt even have power to the home at that rate.

This ivory tower definition of a "Living Wage" must be wrong if 60% of the people living in NY don't hit the standard. If the city was populated by 60% people who do not earn enough to live, there would be chaos.

We should look at things from the other direction... what are people in the city actually earning? How are they living? What trade-offs did they make? Are they satisfied with their life? Which trade offs are they most unhappy about?
Is it safe to assume that you have a small, relatively inexpensive EV?

For a lot of the big luxury EVs that manufacturers prefer to advertise, the upfront cost difference means that it will take 5+ years to catch up if you "only" drive 14,000 miles per year.
I love the affiliate link idea, as long as the videos aren't primarily built to drive traffic to the affiliate link. Those tend to be fluff. (Not saying you're doing that, but I know it happens.)

Re optimization, imagine an instructional book on any particular topic, and the publisher decides that to maximize revenue, the book must be 350 pages. But the topic can be concisely and effectively covered in 150 pages. So the author pads the content with unrelated topics and verbosity. It's now an inefficient way to learn the material. It could be optimized by bringing it to 150 pages.

But is that all? Is there some way to get the same amount of learning done in 100 pages? In 50 pages?

I have a 20 page powerpoint presentation. Is that the best way of getting this information across? Could I craft a three sentence problem prompt, split the class into teams, and have them learn more in less time?

Stuff like that.

The closest open source contender is BLOOM: https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom. It has an almost identical architecture to GPT-3 (hence, to ChatGPT), and in particular the same number of parameters (175B). It was also trained on a similar amount of data, as far as we can know. Still, it's not like you can just "download it and run it", even just to _load_ the model into memory you need ~400GB of memory, to run it at any decent speed you need a lot of GPUs, so it's not really like consumer hardware. And the process to train it cost about 2 to 4 million $, so replicating it is definitely not for everybody. But also not just for "big corporations"...

It's very likely FPGA-based; Xilinx is an FPGA company. This is being pitched as an "AI accelerator", but "Alveo" as a product line existed before AMD's acquisition of Xilinx, and other "Alveo" products exist (https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/alveo.html) that are marketed for other purposes, while really just being Xilinx FPGAs pre-programmed to perform specific other tasks, with some domain-specific DSPs + interconnects around the edges.

It's possible that AMD could have reworked an existing Xilinx design to incorporate RDNA chiplets in place of some of the FPGA-gate-grid chiplets, creating a heterogeneous mesh; but I find it just as likely that AMD just took their VLSI for an RDNA core and loaded it onto the existing FPGA.

We tried using Rackspace as an AWS reseller, as they were offering a better discount and support package than AWS directly at the time.

Our experience was:

* the "support" mainly acted as a slow and unreliable go-between to AWS support

* their billing was manual, slow, and inaccurate (which was highly alarming!)

* whenever we raised issues with their performance, they would try to sell us consulting services

We are not renewing.
I've heard more and more people talking along the lines of people feeling mentally not all there. Part of this might be the natural course of aging and being distracted by more life responsibilities that come with age. I know a lot of people are leaning heavily into the idea of long-Covid as an explanation(which I think is real, but quite likely overblown, but this isn't a Covid thread so I'm not going to go into that further)

My personal thinking is that there's a lot of social malaise and hopelessness that's affecting people mentally right now for these and possibly other reasons that's contributing to this mental fog. People are checked out right now.

> Whether you're very scared of Covid or not the least bit scared, everybody is frustrated with still dealing with it and the measures they have to go through.

> Prices of everything are going up, layoffs are happening, and there's a general sense in the air that the economic calamity that's possible is just getting started and there's nothing you can do about the coming bad times.

> For lots of complex reasons, one of the biggest traditional sources of joy (people creating families) has been plummeting and possibly getting worse in this time period.

> Everybody, regardless of political idealogy, has some big topic to feel hopeless about. Some people think the world is ending due to climate change, some people think the world is ending due to Putin, some people think the world is ending due to economic migration, etc. This is subjective, but there's a limited real aspirational message of hope for the future that most could agree with and see unambiguous positivity from.

> I had to maim the Windows Update process to keep it from freezing my computer whenever I tried to use it.

Windows update for Windows XP got worse than that. It would churn your drive for hours, but not make progress. There was an update to install manually and then you were good.

But if you're running Windows 10 off a hard drive, you need to replace it with an SSD. Although, I guess you can probably blame that on Nadella, the mass layoff that included essentially ending the developer-in-test QA program was June 2014, and Nadella became CEO in Feb 2014. IMHO, quality dropped significantly since then, especially quality on hardware developers probably don't have or don't use (like hard drives and Windows Phone)
> I am interested in reading about healthy eating.... Yet, all I can ever find is how to eat in order to lose weight.

I suspect that this is largely due to the fact that industrial food owns the food science in this country, and in most of the developed world. For decades, we were fed (no pun intended) a Food Pyramid that is a blatant lie, because it correlated to how monied interests wanted to feed the nation.

I had my annual physical last week, and my doctor told me that the consensus is now "eat whole, natural, unprocessed foods as much as possible, and probably cut back on meat." That seems reasonable, on its face. It also seems prohibitively expensive for many people.

I'm afraid that there isn't a great solution to this problem in this country, almost by design.
For occasional use, that doesn't seem like it would be a problem?

Most electric in the UK is green now, and with the continued forced elimination in fossil fuels' for home heating, it's going to keep going up. Of course, being green is literally cold comfort to old age pensioners who can't afford to heat their homes anymore.

Yes, at that time men under the age of 21 were considered children not being able to give consent specifically to having gay sex. However, men of the same age were not considered children when having straight sex. Do you see a problem with that?

More importantly, are you as furious that _today_ children as young as 13 are able to give consent in many mostly republican states in the US?

Are you OK with 13 y.o. girls being able to give consent in Tennessee? It’s happening today in your own country, led by your own party, not in France 50 years ago.

The point of ssh-agent is to use the private key to authenticate yourself.

If you forward it to a remote host, you are granting access to the remote to do that (i.e., the remote can authenticate as you), thus, you must trust the remote.

From the docs,

> Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the agent's UNIX-domain socket) can access the local agent through the forwarded connection. An attacker cannot obtain key material from the agent, however they can perform operations on the keys that enable them to
authenticate using the identities loaded into the agent. A safer alternative may be to use a jump host (see -J).
A contrary anectdotal exemple. We use MongoDB where I work and the only justification is it was the new fad at the time. Now it bites us because we use it as a relational DB. PostgreSQL would’ve been much more suitable in our case but it wasn’t in vogue.
Arrow the format is pretty good, there are occasional quirks (null bitmap has 1 = non-null etc) but no big deal.

From my experience Arrow the C++ implementation is pretty solid too, though I don't like it (taste). I just don't like their "force std::shared_ptr over Array, Table, Schema and basically everything" approach, why don't use an intrusive ref count if the object could only be hold by shared_ptr anyways? There are also a lot of const std::shared_ptr<Array>& arguments on not-obvious-when-it-takes-ownership functions. And immutable Array + ArrayBuilder (versus COW/switch between mutable uniquely owned and immutable shared in ClickHouse and friends), so if you have to fill the data out of order you are forced to buffer your data on your side.

Do note that the compute engine (e.g. Velox) may still need to implement their own (Arrow compatible) array types as there aren't many fancy encodings in Arrow the format.

>Accommodation and food services, part of the state’s important tourism sector, is the industry least likely to pay a living wage, with more than 52% of workers earning less

I have to wonder how badly the stats here are distorted by the fact that the hospitality sector is one of the worst offenders in terms of paying wages 'under the table'. Many folks in that sector formally report abysmally low wages on tax returns but are making decent day to day wages paid from off-the-books cash flow.

We literally invented an entirely new property right out of thin air just because of the printing press; a human-made right that radically changed almost the entirety of the commercial creative industry and tech industry from that point onward, and radically changed what people are allowed to do today with content that they own, even outside of automated settings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright

Do you really want to compare AI to the printing press? For better or worse, the law responded pretty hard to Gutenberg.

Curious on your take here - whenever I am very hungry I notice that my sense are acutely aware of any smell and are generally sharper (outside of the hunger part).

Coincidentally there's a huge region of GPS (at least) interference this week over the New Mexico area, from a military test.

I work in Onondaga County. The MHI here is very low, according to the Fed it's $65,500 [1]. But that's household income, which includes families with two earners. So the median income in this county is lower than the livable wage MIT calculates for an individual ($33.75 x 2080 = $70,200). These two things don't seem to line up. We should expect MHI to be greater than living wage - or else we are expecting the median household to be falling behind. Should we conclude that median households are falling behind?

It’s less likely that they’re doing something ‘wrong’, and more likely that factors such as household size and living location drive up the overall cost of living past what potentially their single salary can withstand. A single-earner with a spouse and kid to support living in Manhattan can struggle to keep up even with a $150k+ salary.

Rents and basic living expenses(ie. Food) in particular have spiked citywide since the pandemic, which further exacerbates the issue.
