I wish people would stop posting articles that imply that remote working is somehow objectively better when it has already been made more than clear that it doesn't work well for everyone.

I really miss the contact from the office but since most people don't go in any more, it is not worth much of my time to travel there.

Yes, we employ some people fully remotely, which is fine because that's what we knew at the time so we do get the benefit of the wider pool.

However, just because "I work really effectively at home", it doesn't mean that there are people who are not taking multiple trips to the shops, to school etc. since they can and although they could be doing their work when they get back, there is also a good chance that they won't or they'll be distracted etc.

Our productivity has definitely been lower during remote-only working although it is hard to attribute that to any one specific thing. The truth is that particularly in non-quantifiable work like development, it is hard to get a thermometer on how productive people are. The gut is unreliable and we want to trust people but if for no other reason, the office has less distractions for most people who can concentrate on their work more.

Could people make it work better? Yes. Will it always work well for everyone? No.
What’s the accuracy of this tool?
Tricky to pot something that will make a lot of heat such as a charge controller or a motor controller. You will need to carefully manage your heat if you do that.
Ultimately it's a semiconductor, so it's affected by the same aging processes that transistors and LEDs undergo. Actually, LEDs and solar cells are physically the same component, just designed for opposite use cases - much like motors and generators.

You can reasonably expect it to lose less than 1% of original efficiency a year, so they should last decades.
> It should be about the value I bring to the company, not where I live.

It's a balancing act. If companies pay based on value added to the company, they will wind up paying more than average in low COL areas, and less than average in high COL areas; so they won't be able to hire people in high COL areas at all. If they scale pay based on COL, they'll be able to hire people in both areas. So yes, it's not "fair" to people in lower COL areas, but it's not arbitrary either.

Very light on detail. Is it different than just processing raw footage with already available fully free, high quality film emulation CLUTs and adding some grain? (Also I can't believe anyone would use everything everywhere all at once as a selling point, easily one of the worst movies I had to endure lately)
Thank you for sharing your own similar experience and understanding me.

It's difficult for me to explain abuse without being stifled, but I have a feeling while everyone online talks about telling you to stop victim blaming, the abused one is victim blaming themselves anyway. It's why it's so traumatic, I replayed the situation to make sense of it, and it hurt every time, until I got out of that mental rut.

It's funny, when bad things happen I dismiss other problems I had because I had a worst one before so it helped with stresses.

Why Google? I explicitely said you could embed any ad provider ( or even use your own personal method for distributing ads).

Maybe you don't like that, but that's what software freedom looks like
AI in serps is like self-driving tech in cars; and Google is like Mercedes who has a reputation and trust to lose when delivering half-ass results (the way Tesla ships products).
> redo their UI a bit to make you the user feel like they are experiencing the ChatGPT experience.

> You think Google is about to wipe out its ad business to appease a small portion of its userbase?

These 2 points are in conflict, because of the innovators dilemma: they might be hesitant to cannibalize a good business.
I disagree employers don't have a win on the remote work setup. For one, they can reduce a lot of overhead for the upkeep of physical offices. There's also giving the idea of giving the employee more time for themselves, when in truth they really actually extended his work hours; just at the comfort of their homes and at their own pace. While it's not perfect for everyone, remote work has its perks for both employees AND employers.
Google is about sources?

Google just delivers the most popular sites. Not sure what you mean when you say it's about sources.
Cool! Even this feedback is important. This document needs to be accessible and easy to grasp, otherwise it has a UX problem.
Would be cool to see!

I know spacex had trouble finding autoclaves big enough for carbon fiber tanks. I would expect windmill blades need to be even bigger and hence need a bigger autoclave. So that would be a major challenge.

Then again this is a huge market, and the mentioned gains are quite big. So the economic benefits might be big enough that someone dares build an autoclave for carbon fiber windmill blades.
Maybe a basking shark filtering masses plankton but it’s no great white.

A great white would have launched a GPT api competitor far earlier and recognised the search replacement use case.

GPT3 came out in 2020. People had used it as a search like function in 2020, we’re coming up to 3 years and only now they’ve acted to then bum rush into a competitor that’s demo tanked the stock?

While I get where you are coming from, when observing people around me they just want a query answered and don't care. We will see, I don't think the answer is a well curated wikipedia article because that's just too much information. The AI use-cases so far involve that you have a question you want an answer, the rest I think can be server by good old search, which will still exist.

All the benefits of deep learning (natural language understanding, context, engaging answers) make this ergonomically possible and not able to be replicated using symbolic AI. It's frankly irrelevant to the discussion right now and will at best imho only play some part in the overall process. If attributable sources are important, I think it's way likelier that a deep learning approach will be used. But I think for most queries answered by an AI this will not be important since they will be trivial and I expect for the rest you switch to the normal search behaviour to be able to trust your source.
Sensationalism? With phrases like "AI war".

This best describes why it's actually both a gift and a curse.
For the same reason that you don't want to earn the exact minimum you need to survive. You want more/better. So does the person selling the widget; so why charge the absolute minimum for their widget if they can get more for it? That extra money goes towards their "more/better".

I think to be a little more specific and accurate here, we could view Google as very much needing to protect its "golden goose".

It has this massively profitable search business that it needs to protect at all costs. It doesn't want to be seen as a competitor to everyone publishing web content. If it answers questions in the SERPs it will consume screen space from in-search ads and reduce page clicks to pages that show Google's ads. So I think that is less about lethargy and more about being scared to disrupt itself. If it shows some AI-generated content that is perceived negatively it could cause reputational damage (like Boston Dynamics was) and cause advertisers to not advertise with Google.

And this fear is a classical instance of a large company being scared to do anything that could hurt its primary business, which reduces innovation and its ability to act in a forward-thinking way. This gives a chance to competitors that don't have this same fear of hurting their profitable business. Often these are upstarts like OpenAI.
For the fellow non native speakers:

lethargic
adj 1: deficient in alertness or activity; "bullfrogs became

and many other people who have replied to the original message saying "enough with this Rust thing, we know, now write the code or STFU"

I literally said I write Rust too... and other 20 some languages.

maybe you're just too focused on accusing other people, instead of actually reading and understanding what they are trying to say to you?

Just like a cultist would do?

> People will keep pointing out Rust is a better fit for a number of projects and happily there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Saying and doing are 2 different things.

I can do one thing though: keep pointing out that cults are bad.

For a few years now I've been using a ~/Uploads directory, as in the opposite of ~/Downloads

Uploads is where I put any temporary files that I've just made, e.g. an attachment I need to email, or upload into an online service of some kind. Previously my desktop became littered with these files which I absolutely hated.

I just wish I could set the sidebar icon to an upwards arrow.

Of course it calls the destructor. What else should it do? The point is that you don't get any double frees, because you never have to call delete manually. Or maybe I misunderstood your complaint?
You are conflating, in a typical model/metamodel confusion, numbers in the data structures you are describing, with their machine representations that you are modeling decently, and numbers in your language, which should probably be just integers without complications.

The former are are patterns in the data, e.g.

rpm = float(32, -1000~1000);

which specifies a subset of the 2^32 floating point values, and the latter are actual numbers, e.g.

identifier = 'a'~'z'{5~8};

which shouldn't worry about rounding, signed zero, NaN values etc.

What arithmetic do you expect to need, in practice, at each of the two levels?

> real: any value from the set of reals, including qnan and snan unless otherwise specified

You mean floating point, not actual real numbers. Then, even within the IEEE-754 options, you need to specify what variant of floating point.

Note that floating point constants by themselves have ambiguous type: 1.3e5 can be float(32...), float(64...), etc.

> Note: Calculations can produce a quiet NaN value under certain conditions in accordiance with the IEEE 754 specification. If different processing is required (such as traps or exceptions), this must be documented in your specification.

This means specifying what to do with NaN results and similar errors: a heavy burden for the user.

> unsigned: limited to positive integers and 0
> signed: limited to positive and negative integers, and 0 (but excluding -0)

These are floating point values pretending to be integers. You should have actual unlimited precision integers with constraints like explicit maximum and minimum values.

Moreover, "-0" is a IEEE-754 technical detail that has no place in a formal, abstract language.
Gloves off.
This development of search engines becoming answer finding machines doesn't sit well with me. It seems that they are confounding two use cases:

1) I want to find a certain website

2) I want to find an answer to this question I have

These often overlap, but not always. Google used to be great at 1), then progressively started to solve 2). LLMs are better at 2), but are useless at 1). It's like Google wanted to become a search engine for people who don't even know what a website is and just go to Google for 2).

I think the products "search engine" and "chat bot" should stay separate.

However, I'd like to see LLMs merged with WolframAlpha.
No, "serendipity" here has value primarily not within a single team, but as a discovery mechanism between teams. There's research on this. It has its highest value for new starters trying to figure out how the org fits together, but is also useful for inter-team workflow discovery and reinforcement, especially at the start of projects. You shouldn't need it within a single team unless that team is already dysfunctional (which I think is your point).

Basically all orgs need something that acts as a random mixing function so that connections between areas can form and strengthen. Working in the same building can provide that, if the building layout allows for it, but it's far from the only option.

The problem is that managers, particularly those with a strongly hierarchical, Taylorist mindset, won't necessarily appreciate the value of lateral connections between teams. They end up benefiting from serendipity by accident because when they force people into the office those lateral connections form anyway.
I don't see a ChatGPT-based search tool as desirable, given that so much effort appears to be going into preventing it from outputting 'wrongthink'.

Search for anything vaguely controversial and it'll likely just respond with its equivalent of “I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that”

You can see where any result Google gives you has come from. Ask it for the weather today and it'll say at the bottom that it's sourced from weather.com.

ChatGPT and the like are completely opaque.
Google Play was started within the last 15 years (just turned 10 years old). I think it's "major" in all the ways that matter.
I've not had any issues migrating containers between systems and setting up said systems in the past year when it came to this particular issue. I think this particular hurdle has been eliminated.
Postmortem: Slow Sending
Yes, I was referring, among other things, to a recent tweet where he calls OpenAI "his" startup. Some of his coworkers may find that irksome, as he was not there when GPT2 was released. (If I understand correctly)
> They don't seem lethargic when you look at the list of just their cancelled projects.

Well, the "serial killer" would be more apt description based on that.
Google is about advertising. And SEO. The "sources" are generally what their algorithm considers to be 'good sources' but we have no indication that they have any validity. It remains to be seen whether AIs can somehow validate whether a source makes sense. "Reputable" at this point is irrelevant for anything except breaking news. Even in academia, citations dont mean much other than "this person knew how to promote their work well". We live in era of too many citations/references , and that has been detrimental. If we are going to be using machine learning from now on instead of 'reputation' , that is a good thing. At least we can know transparently what are the objectives the ML system is optimizing
> Washington defeated Germany and Japan in the 1940s and proceeded to demilitarize them and occupy them with its own forces.

Yes, part of Germany was occuppied by the Western Allies until 1955. And there were sone technical restrictions on the sovereignty of Germany-as-a-whole until the 2+4 Treaty went into full effect in 1991.

But even the later of those dates was almost 17 years before Obama became President.

> It was all part of a coherent strategy to contain and confront the rival USSR

The occupation of the Axis Powers by the Allies, including the USSR, was not part of a strategy to contain the USSR. It may have formed part of the context of such a strategy, but that’s a different thing.
> But I have been running into a lot of dead links on when I search for something.

It can still be interesting to know when an image was first seen, even if the link is now dead. Also sometimes a page only moved URLs or changed its site structure and the picture somehow didn't get indexed at the new location, so the dead URL still helps in tracking things down (rarely, but still). Sometimes you can find something on the Internet Archive.

Also in my experience Bing has a similar tendency of never letting go of things once it has indexed them, even when the result has been dead for quite a while. On the one hand this can be frustrating, but sometimes having just Bing's image preview is still better than nothing at all.
OP talk about sleepiness, and Adderall didn't work only for that, coffee is largely enough for sleepiness, while Adderall feed you with a rash of dopamine that puts your entire being in complete other state, and dopamine can make you focus on whatever shit you are doing even if it's the most boring staff to you.
Every time I see a project that's paid where people comment "I could create the same in a weekend", that's exactly what I do. By now most of the apps I'm using daily are written by me. It's (a) fun, and (b) gives me the satisfaction not to pay for something that's not worth it. For open-core projects, I usually just fork and rebuild all the paid features ontop of the free version. That's actually surprisingly easy most of the time.

(Obviously I then release everything I create under GPL, so others can use it freely and expand on it)
"As a result, company B gets the same results 2 times cheaper" - that's just an assumption. If I turn it around, it sounds - "people on average in high COL area do the same work two times faster than in low COL area".

I thought it was the processing, rather than the mining, which came with toxic downsides? But in any case, the Chinese have been undercutting everyone for two decades. Lower costs and massive capital investments.

Compared to massive crop failure, mass starvation, wide scale species extinction, and resulting resource conflict, the toxic byproducts and landfill of wind/solar are inconsequential. Even the risk of nuclear (increased radiation from failures, proliferation) is bearable if we can decarbonise faster.

On most porn sites, you don't have autoplay forced up your throat. They also have a much better recommendation system, that doesn't recommend you completely irrelevant or sponsored content.
The fact that Google has an honestly enormous investment into AI for years invalidates this statement, probably the biggest of all players. Google has the skill to quickly produce a competitor, they have a lot of experience and capabilities in the ML-area. They were also so early that you can't frame them as a slow moving monopoly.

An early investment and strong commitment does not guarantee for you to be the first, as we have seen with ChatGPT. But I think google can move so quickly that it won't matter much.

This also means we are not yet in AI-Winter. Yeah!
