Yeah SF is such a crappy city. Everything's overpriced. Cant get around, public transportation sucks so your lifestyle is limited to a 1 mile radius, which totally defeats the point of being in a city. Could uber everywhere, that's what most people do, but that's pricey as well, and you have to deal with human interaction every time you want to go somewhere. Biking through throngs of homeless people and confusing streets also less than ideal.

There's hardly a scene for anything you're interested in either. Very small scenes for most things and a real lack of community feel for some strange reason. Maybe it's the lack of mobility around the city? The eccentricness of tech workers? In any case, it sucks.

Paradoxically, despite the lack of mobility, everything worth going to is also permanently crowded. Long wait times for food along with high prices, unnecessary taxes, and restaurants that look like they probably house some rats.

Weather is not bad compared to other cities, but still annoying. It's always just a bit too cold to walk around comfortably in a T-shirt.

It really reminds me of the experience of waiting to get into a nightclub with a mile-long line of dudes (also par for the course in SF, by the way). Walk in, take a look, wonder why anyone waited in the first place, and walk out like a revolving door.
And here I am adding another provider (att/xfinity) to my home network so I can never go offline. As someone who mostly plays online multiplayer games, this doesn't seem like something I want to spend time getting upset about.
If we could replace those things right now we would already have done so. That is no argument against investing into technologies that can replace those uses.

And I count furnaces, cement making, and electricity production as fuel, since all you need for the process is heat.
I'm trying to get through this video but the guy has basically repeated the same 3 sentences for the first 5 minutes.
You are getting things backwards. Consciousness is not some magic dust that gets sprinkled over certain thoughts. Consciousness is part of the process of having thoughts. The fact that we don't have conscious access to all of our thoughts does not mean we cannot consciously choose anything about our thoughts.

Similar remarks apply to "free will". "Free will" is not some magic property that some of our mental acts get endowed with. It is part of the process of our thinking and acting. The fact that we don't and can't freely choose everything about that process does not mean we cannot make choices at all.
I doubt this library is useful. Some of the provided functions such as Clone(), Clear(), Copy() and Equal() are substituted by simple and readable three-line loops. Others are plain harmful. For example, Keys() and Values() may lead to huge memory allocations when working over big maps, while DeleteFunc() worsens code readability and maintainability comparing to a simple 3-line loop. Additionally, it may slow down the resulting code.
Right but a Google L6 is a was probably a PE at the last Fortune 500 they worked for.
No. No it is not. I'm sorry, this is just objectively wrong, and I don't mean to pick on you personally, but I do think it needs to be said.

Without online, it's in the hands of ONE party. Online, it's in the hands of that same party and at least one more.

Objectively less private.
The real premium version of teams would actually show people on the other end of the call what my side says I'm sharing.
Walking and driving are not the only two options.
I have this dish. It is a hot dish, what temperature setting did you have the dial at and how far away was it that you didn't burn?

For those not familiar with what is being discussed here, it's a coiled wire, same principle of operation as a hair dryer or toaster. Electrical current makes the wire heat up. It's wrapped around a cone-shaped central piece, and behind it is a parabolic dish like satellite tv dishes to direct the heat in a beam. It's a fanless space heater.
You sound like saying we shouldn't care about any of those factors because other factors exist. I feel like that attitude is exactly why most of those factors exist in the first place. Just because there is a chance you might not suffer from the consequences doesn't mean there aren't any for other people (or animals, plants etc)
Funny that the author considers D+ asking for birthday and gender to be a deal breaker. I'm always flabbergasted at people whose knee-jerk reaction to forms is to just fill in truthful data. As if it's a moral issue.

I have a hypothesis (please prove me wrong): It is not amoral to default to completely fictitious information when prompted on the web.

Signing up for D+? "Jose Conseco", Gender? Female.

Buying some shoes at a random retailer? Just make it all up. EVERYTHING.

Additionally, I've discovered that when paying by credit card, even the billing details can be entirely wrong, with the exception of zip code. There is just zero reason to provide your real address (assuming you're not having something shipped) for charging to a CC.

Think about it, you're signing up for HBO Max and they ask for you name. I'm genuinely curious how many people think there's any valid reason at all to answer truthfully. Why does HBO Max need to know your real name? You're just there to watch to videos. This basically applies to close to 100% of places on the internet.

Am I the only one?
I would believe so.

There is some ML functionality built into Visual Studio now a days (intellisense + some auto complete). But I don't think they market it as a separate product.

It's hard, but it's not that hard. There are at least half a dozen companies in the space, and another half dozen with the requisite RF expertise but who just don't need direct conversion, as you mentioned. This is more a commentary about open source hardware in general. Starting with a DirectRF receiver would be silly; the market is not that big.
You do not need the enterprise license to run this self-hosted, only if you want the commercial license version of AGPLv3 + support/SLA and some high scale plugins like our dependency cache syncing.

Your calculation is correct and I agree it is a bit of a steep pricing. Most companies have small scripts to run and we wanted to bill according to the value they were extracting of the product and do transparent enterprise pricing instead of the usual "contact us". Unfortunately, it is not a one-size-fits-all situation. For data heavy/IO bound workflows, we should bill per number of GB transferred rather than per computation. In any case, we are very open to do price capped contracts depending on your use case: ruben@windmill.dev
Wonder if they'll offer reduced prices in developing nations (if they offer the service at all).
My complete asspull rationale when I saw the distinguished engineer got cut was that maybe they thought he wouldn't be as useful if Google tries to hard pivot into generative ai just because he was so focused on search as a topic. More generally high tenureship could come with baggage as to how they view the business and how things are just done. However, at the end of the day smart people are just smart people and even with a background in another discipline or lots of history at a company can adapt to new modalities of operation and still add value so I don't really believe it.

It is something I could see a manager or other suit saying though when looking over salaries to justify the decision...
I thought they were bots?
Maybe while you ask questions to ChatLaMDA, it could also show a sidebar of relevant web pages mixed with AdWords results related to your questions.

Although clicking on them might not be quite as natural as clicking as part of search results, so still massive damage to the golden goose.
Curious why you consider D+ asking for birthday and gender to be deal breakers? Why would you even consider providing real data to those question? Just simply make up a name, birthday and gender. That's what I do.
If you ever download or upload a picture in the app, you’ve likely granted full access to your photo library, which includes location information on every photo along with timestamps.

Also just direct location access, even when it’s running in the background.

What orientation the phone is in (are you laying in bed?) and is it moving?

Then of course more specific metrics within the platform around how long you looked at a post, how fast do you scroll here, how much do you read certain comments compared to others, etc. Those platform metrics are a lot easier to track when you have full hardware access instead of just the apis that mobile javascript provides

And then all became clear.

The only people who I've met who describe themselves as radical feminists are described by everyone else as TERF's.
I don't need some half-baked language model to stand up for myself. Thanks, though.
> Fielding style REST with hypermedia only makes sense for the HTML web where you have a human determining how to navigate from one page to another.

That's the point I've never understood, and maybe someone here can clear it up for me?

As far as I understand, Fielding is constantly hammering on the point that navigation between resources should be hypertext-driven, so no "extraneous" information (where some resource or method is located) should be used. Only hypertext-style links from query/response to query/response.

But HTTP has very generic verbs. GET, PUT etc. They don't mean much.

Okay, REST proponents will say, while Fielding did his work in the context of HTTP, but envisioned a much richer hypertext capability.

Good. Now I have verbs like "Resize photo" or "Follow user" or "Get GPS coordinates from EXIF" in my hypertext API? How is a generic client supposed to understand those?

That's where I'm stuck. What's the use of it all if the client still needs to know everything about the domain (unavoidably, IMO)? Showing responses to the user and having him decide cannot be a real proposal, can it?
> I don't think people go into the massage therapy industry thinking "I'm going to be a Director of Massage Therapy!"

Yeah, of course not. That would be ridiculous.

First you have to put in the work to make it to Senior Massage Therapist. Then Staff, Senior Staff, and finally Principal Massage Therapist — then you can do a lateral ladder transfer over to Director of Massage Therapy.
This is like asking water not to be wet.
It's also interesting that, up to this moment, nothing appreciable has been done to alleviate the lack of housing. This is simply organic movement of people away from SF thus decreasing demand without ever having to increase the supply.

SF invented its way out of its own reason for existing. Companies like Zoom and Google made it possible to work remote, and as the city never diversified its economy, no one really needs to live there. The absurd political situation, where it's illegal to build a house but legal to poop on the sidewalk while smoking meth, has made it also a place no one really wants to live in. It's a story of hubris and the satire writes itself https://babylonbee.com/news/san-francisco-store-clerk-confus...

when I was in SF about 10+ years ago, there were a lot of e-scooters/e-skateboarders. Is that still not the case?
> Same for Netflix.

I followed as NFLX dropped, and it was definitely a media narrative before the drop was over. We don't know where things will shake out, of course, but it's not the case that everything is priced in by the time the media starts talking about it.
Yeah. Imagine laying off Kelsey Hightower. Imagine the destruction of goodwill to GCP that would have. These layoffs seem insane. All this talent just gone. The high level management seems to make a bit more sense but very technical and capable SWEs surely could have been placed in different teams or divisions.
React (or other web frameworks) have a unique advantage. They run everywhere.

Any device with a modern web browser can run a React application. Sure, Electron and the alternatives are resource hungry, but they allow developers to create true cross-platform applications.

Sure, there are other ways to create a cross-platform app, but none of those approaches allow you to tap into the massive number of web developers that exist.
When Bob Ross was new on Twitch, I had the same experience with the chat. An entire culture emerged in a weekend and it was so wholesome and fun.

It's been a while but as I recall this kinda thing is roughly the plot of "Moneyball". I don't think.they cut expensive players but they definitely didn't sign new ones who were expensive - instead they focused on players "who get on base".

> Version 4.0 of Manna was also the first version to enforce average task times, and that was even worse. Manna would ask you to clean the restrooms. But now Manna had industry-average times for restroom cleaning stored in the software, as well as “target times”. If it took you too long to mop the floor or clean the sinks, Manna would say to you, “lagging”. When you said, “OK” to mark task completion for Manna, Manna would say, “Your time was 4 minutes 10 seconds. Industry average time is 3 minutes 30 seconds. Please focus on each task.” Anyone who lagged consistently was fired.

Feels like Amazon took some inspiration from that.

It was a joke about the gastronomic focus of the great majority of Europeans who met dodo in person.

I recommend this book[0] for you, the edited diaries of an explorer of the rugged wilderness of South Westland in New Zealand in the late 1800s[1], who kept detailed notes on all the birds he encountered, including their culinary utility.

He used to eat five of what is now the world's most endangered parrot[2] for breakfast, and remarked upon their pleasant fruity flavour, and recommended saving their fat to cook your camp bread in.

And being honest, I'd be very interested in a family drumstick from Kentucky Fried Moa. Although I suspect they'd be rather gamey.

No, it's not.

We already employ profanity filters in multiplayer games. We also have rating systems in games that allow peers to flag toxic behavior after a game session for review. These have helped limiting the harm caused by toxic players.

Those are simple low tech solutions that could be added to videoconferencing applications.

Did someone act toxic during a meeting? Allow participants to report a toxic interaction, with an AI generated transcript + recording.

Then you can go one step further and build the future of HR playbook enforcement:

"Meeting participant #1234, you are engaging in toxic behavior and are in direct violation of the HR playbook page 113 section 9: please stop disrupting the meeting and shut the hell up to avoid disciplinary action. You have 10 seconds to comply. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...". /s

But jokes aside... Today we have great sentiment analysis capabilities. There is a subset of the English language you should never use at work. We can also detect if someone is yelling. We can flag highly offensive terms. There are ways in which we can apply technology in a sensible way to improve the work experience, to limit the harm caused by the worst types of behaviors including but not limited to violence.

We can also use technology to hold HR accountable to enforce the HR playbook.
The FM receiver that you linked to is actually an AM receiver, but it is using "slope Detection" to recover the audio.

And FM is absolutely not "better" than AM. It does give a clearer signal on strong signals, but is demonstrably worse on weak signals.
Forget calls.

There's been a recent update that managed to break the chat screen even more than before (when it was "only" slow).

Roughly half the time I start teams, the chat window will be empty. It's just gray. It doesn't look like it's loading with empty bubbles or similar, it just sits there doing nothing and being completely empty.

I can change contacts, the heading updates, but there just are no messages showing up. I can change tabs, like going to activity, calendar, or teams (where messages do show up), when I get back to the chats, no contents.

Of course, this being Microsoft, a restart seems to fix it right up.
At least in tech circles, I haven't heard of anyone requiring or preferring a cover letter.

> Just drop the can of exposed film and develop on the ground. Scanners in the 60s? Film chemistry in space? Why?

Can't say about recon sats but there are two reasons:

a) you need things fast

b) you can't drop it - you are too far

As sibling points out Lunar Orbiter used this and IMMSMV - some Soviet space probes (Venus?) too.

> Scanners in the 60s?

In the late 60s - just fine. Don't forget, TV existed back then already.

great, now they'll nuke this too.
Some may consider it fraud, and the legal system might have a say in that too.

That said, I think there's a spectrum of acceptability for fictitious information that varies on the person and one requesting it. At one end is anything government or otherwise "real life" or "serious business" related, where I would not hesitate to provide real information. At the other end is accounts for various online-only entities, in which I tend to stay as far from my real identity as possible.
Deciding that one's life is all about luck is a miserable way to live. It means one has no agency, no choice, no way to make one's life better. Because it's all luck, that means there is no point in trying. The outcome of this is self-fulfilling - misery.

I don't understand why it's such a popular attitude these days.

A while ago, I noticed something interesting. None of my friends believes their lives are all about luck. They all believe they have agency, and are constantly taking responsibility for their lives and acting accordingly. They're a lot of fun to be around.

The great thing about taking responsibility is one can do something to fix issues in their lives.

The other ones, the ones who say it's all luck, it's always someone else's fault, why me, etc., aren't any fun to be around. No thanks.

Video object detection in Elixir using Nx and Bumblebee
I’m not sure what exactly is a L9 at Google, but this looks a lot like research positions in many huge companies.

For instance there was researchers on voice recognition at Yahoo! way before the voice assistants became a product, and if I could imagine one of them bring up a well working model 6 months before the competition, and have a voice assistant hit the market.

It would disrupt an entire market.

But they’re not alone of course, and I don’t know how many other researchers are on the payroll trying to breakthrough other fields. All of them have a “disrupt the entire market” expectation I think, and of course their employer is also expected to give them enough time and leeway to make progress. They probably bring small improvement on existing things, and the number of papers published every year could be another measure as a temporizing strategy. But their actual stated goal is probably very ambitious and they’d be failing at it for a very long time.
It’s a show about nothing.

Or rather, it’s a Sitcom where they take mundane things in everyday life and obsess over them comedically.

Some people find it doesn’t withstand the test of time and if you never saw it in the 90/00s you might not really care for it.
Renting vs. Buying TV Shows
The template language doesn't compete with JSX. It competes with JSX + JavaScript, which is far more expressive.
No. The maths show that AM can be received at much lower signal-to-noise ratios.

>This would be the equivalent for a pro baseball team laying off their entire roster because nobody on the team showed the growth that those in the feeder teams showed.

This does happen in baseball, not literally the entire team, but Google also isn't laying off everyone. Teams regularly decide to let better performers leave just to replace them with worse players. The reason for this is that the worse players are always cheaper. Many teams are happy to pay a replacement player for half the production at a quarter of the cost. That L9 could have still been productive while not living up to the expectations for someone making that salary.

The effect is there, but it cannot be simplified as "left" vs "right" as OP claims. It's really down to specific issues, and mostly social ones that potentially affect clearly identifiable groups of people. Try asking it about same-sex marriage, for example.
