Fwiw, I do know quite a few companies outside the tech space that use, and even love teams. These are the ones where I have personally gotten to see how they use teams:

2 car sale companies. 1 Accounting shop. 1 ultra large company that owns multiple types of businesses across 4 different countries. A few real estate businesses. The vast majority of people using it have said they are happy and several have even been excited to show off their setups. All of them said that it allowed them to go remote during the pandemic and has helped them stay flexible once movement and office work started returning to normal.

The way they use it is also interesting. It’s not just chat. They integrate a whole host of apps directly into it including sales pipeline tools, document management, and project management. We are not talking about chat bots either. We are taking integrated apps+interfaces. All their meeting happen in MS teams itself. The multinational has a non trivial arrangements using multiple instances where some are separated for client convos and others are for different teams.

I use the term interesting because the way they use it is nothing like how I’ve ever seen any slack being used. And I don’t think I’ll ever see slack supporting that. Putting it out there because I think there’s a world of use cases for ms teams that doesn’t involve people being forced to use a bad thing.
Who caused the accident isn't a problem statement. A driver hit a pedestrian is. Sure, from there maybe you have some weird bias against pedestrians, but in most cases five whys would say the root cause is driver inattention. Poor framing of the initial problem is as much an issue with the method as finding bad answers to "why".
The more advanced features of chatgpt are $20/m as I’m sure you’re aware.

What do you get out of chatgpt in this realm? I feel very annoyed by its constant tropes and predictable style. Is that something you dont need to care about?
Looks very awesome. Will definitely give it a try. Hopefully it doesn't end up like Om.next. Om.next felt like an amazing quasi-revolutionary thing when David announced it. But it was so poorly documented and hard to get it right, almost nobody used it in production. I don't know for a fact, but it felt like it complicated Circle CI's frontend to the point that they'd decided to abandon Clojurescript altogether. It's sad, because Om.Next really did have some cool ideas. Fulcro project fixed many problems, but it was too late, the momentum for Om.Next was already wavering.
Yes, this could serve as the conduit from the Android phone voice input to a server-based ChatGPT (using the free Konele Android app as frontend).
Yes, I was taught at it a high school chemistry class and found it extremely useful for my mechanical engineering degree work.

The layoffs have also been relatively minor, with headcounts still up from 2019 as far as I’ve seen.
I saw that the company that makes this headset offers prescription lenses for the headset, and they said they ask you for your prescription when buying, so presumably they will ship those lenses as part of the purchase price or for a small additional fee.

As far as FOV, it sounds like based on one video review that the company is giving a low estimate for FOV so as to avoid over promising, and they suggest that users may find the FOV is higher.
At least that's a native app (or was?)
If you asked my dad to root cause literally any problem in my life, from my failed marriage all the way to a random nasty smell emanating from my kitchen, he would trace it back to the fundamental root cause that I’m no longer a believing mormon.

I don’t have any problem with the idea that you should dig deeper for any form of causal reasoning. My problem is with the inherent linear flow and singular root cause reasoning of the 5-whys methodology. It is just too easy to lead you back to the thing that you are personally biased to think anyway. If you want to solve actual problems, you more than likely have to solve multiple problems that contribute to a complex system than to solve any singular problem.
>one of, if not the worst, greenhouse gasses?

Worse than CO2? Yes. Worse than pretty much any kind of refrigerant? No, not even close. The lower bound on those is probably 100x worse and increasing from there.

Silicon on lunar regolith is mostly plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. Quartz (SiO2) is <1%.

Not exactly comparable.
For the period 1906 to 1988, when Asse II was an operational salt mine, there were 29 documented water breaches.[27] They were sometimes successfully sealed off, partly dry or sometimes with negligible inflows (less than 0.5 cubic metres (130 US gal) per day).[28]

Between 1988 and 2008 32 new entry points were recorded. In 1996, the BFS notified the Bundesumweltministerium that there was a risk of severe radioactive contamination if the mine ran full of water and that further investigation was urgently required.

Hardly a long term solution.
I would argue this is getting covered exactly the amount it should. Because everyone seems to know about it, and no one who thinks it should be covered more seems to have anything to add to it.
I just clicked through and noticed the client-server part. I'd be curious to see if a smaller Whisper model could run on an Android phone too... All the same, nicely done!
What did you expect, someone that believes AI is bad would be publishing papers to advance it? He's not a hypocrite therefore he doesn't understand what he's talking about, is what you are implying. Where is the evidence that his knowledge is "antiquated"? What has changed since then and when did he show not knowing that?
Bigger picture. It's not the property developer. It's the cost of the additional regulations which causes the marginal house buyer to not spend money on a smoke detector or a safer car.

People are being forced to decide if they should seek out healthcare or support for their conditions and accept that they'll be branded with that for the rest of their lives in countless databases sold to anyone willing to pay or if they should just suffer in silence and avoid the doctors, medications, and online communities that might help them.

Right now, expect that your health conditions are up for sale and being passed around like candy to anyone willing to pay for it. It's bad enough that lists of people who are addicts, prone to impulsive purchases, or easily confused/tricked are extremely valuable to scammers and advertisers, but that same data can cost you a job or housing and open you up to harassment as well.

The same is true for anyone calling a crisis service, such as a suicide hotline or a rape crisis center or those visiting shelters and mental health clinics. People's phone records and GPS logs have been available for sale for a very long time. The last thing someone in crisis should need to worry about are the life long consequences of dialing one of these phone numbers or walking into a clinic.

Industry will not do the right thing, and the market has failed to provide a solution to this problem, so it looks like we need laws with real teeth and sustained oversight to enforce those laws.

This sort of investigation probably needs something more like a gas chromatography mass spectrometry machine. I don’t think a run of the mill set of air quality sensors is going to tell anyone which toxic nastiness is in the air /water there.

Collecting samples and getting them analyzed by a lab should be possible though.

> Biden decided the broader economy was a bigger priority than 100,000 freight rail workers having any paid sick leave in their next contract. After campaigning as the most pro-union presidential candidate in history, Biden signed into law a measure that makes a rail strike illegal.

Forcing it like that is not capitalism.
I think it's also the varying differences of experience in using different tools/platforms to communicate. For example, someone coming from Zoom may notice how laggy Teams is compared to Zoom. I definitely felt this way, once I experienced the alternatives to Teams, I just couldn't wait to stop using it.

Why does it need to have excel implemented into it? Why is the search function still there if it literally doesn't do searching. Why does it take 20 seconds to open a PDF?

Many more issues and questions stand out if you've previously used a platform where none of those are issues.
I always heard people talk about how "open source is broken", but I'm honestly in shock after reading this.

Is this normal? That one guy can contribute code that is used on thousands of the top websites worldwide and not one of the numerous multi-billion dollar companies that use his code are even willing to donate an amount equivalent to an average developer's salary?

I mean, how is this that possible? It's not like when a company the size of Spotify uses core-js they just add it to their project without thinking. No, they know how important the project is. They know the effort involved in building and maintain a project like core-js. Yet they can't even throw the dude a few thousand dollars a year to say thanks?

Am I missing something here? Is the fact that he's Russian having an impact on the companies willing to offer him support?

It honestly seems insane to me that so many people are able to reach out with messages of hate for adding a donation message to free software, but only a handful of people / business would offer support.
This is a really optimistic way to spin the soul sucking reality of "investigate production bugs for clients" full time for a living or else.
Photographs or movies involving, for example, nude children, which do not meet the bright-line child pornography standard, are nonetheless in a legal gray area and may be considered to be exploitation of those children if the parents did not give consent. Think Thora Birch at the end of American Beauty.

Seems to me that teenagers in general have a very predictable tendency toward staying up late.

Going to bed in the evening isn't a solution to healthy sleep schedules: it's an accommodation to waking up in the morning.

Why do teenagers need to be waking up early? Since we know that most struggle accommodating an early rise, why not, as a society, accommodate a late rise?
Congratulations on getting your app accepted! My Apple development experience is primarily with iOS, but I will probably be playing with macOS more in the future.
Why focus on the state, often the most incompetent player adopting new technologies?
This is actually a legitimate cause, though not always expressed that way ;)

Many problems don't get solved well (or at all) because nobody in the organization finds them interesting.

The only way to fix this that I've seen is to change the composition of the team and/or change the composition of the problems. This is why so many startups struggle, they have a small team and eventually encounter problems nobody is energized by solving and they can't hire someone who is interested. Eventually people burn out doing things they hate and it all falls apart.

Tech stocks are long duration assets (e.g.they have high interest rate sensitivity (if investment one pays me $10 a year for the next 20 years versus investment two which pays me $200 in year 20, in a 0% interest world they’re worth the same, in a 5% discount rate world, option one is dramatically more attractive and the NPV change in investment two, is far more severe than in investment one))

This is part of why valuations in tech land have been cut so much. If you are the management of a public company, and you are trying to increase your stock price, the answer is to make the your cash flow profile look more like option 1 vs option 2 above. One (perhaps shortsighted) way of doing that is to cut cost via layoffs…

As mentioned in the git README (at the bottom) there is at least one Whisper port that runs natively on Android. It does not run as fast on an Android phone as on iPhone (because of whisper.cpp optimizations for Apple silicon) but it still runs pretty well. In my tests, it does not run as fast as sending the raw audio across the network to a fast server for transcript there, which is what this post is about. But give it a try.
Incompetence is often more harmful than even malice. Imagine how terrifying it would be if, their incompetence not only led them to create a very flawed AI for the risk profile, but also led them to believe that AI is always right.
Is there a single high level engineer (like, whatever L9 is at Google where you make millions of dollars for being a savant) working on Teams? If not, why not? A ton of its problems seem fixable. Discord/WhatsApp and Teams are both Electron apps from what I can tell. Discord/WhatsApp very usable, so it's not like Teams is doomed from the get go without a full rewrite.

Is the entire thing written by a team who don't care/don't know any better/can't do any better?
David Chapman (the author of this) has had a large influence on my thinking, right up there with Thomas Sowell, Robert Kegan, Sarah Perry, and Douglas Hofstadter.

His thesis here is fully opposed to my beliefs. He makes a distinction, between “AI ethics” objections (small-scale, immediate, concrete, “AI reinforces existing biases and automates their enforcement”) and “AI safety” objections (large-scale, predictions of the future, hypothetical, “AI could bring the Apocalypse”). I have happily worked on AI projects that fall squarely in the “decried by AI ethics” category (including what is likely THE core example, facial recognition for law enforcement), and I have expressed accelerationist approval of things the “AI safety” community calls potential apocalypses (I’ve described my position as “we should make the Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect happen for real” multiple times).

Suffice it to say, it’s a weird position to be in. I don’t think I have ever had two parts of my identity drawn in such diametric opposition before. I’m going to read the entire thing, even the parts that strike me as distasteful, and I’m going to carefully examine my reactions to it.

I can't find major newspaper articles specifically focused on suicide among teenage boys, even though the rate of it is 400% higher than for teenage girls, and getting worse faster.
Thank you! :) Your experience is primarily with iOS?
Yes. This is a system problem. Why are cars allowed to be near pedestrians? Why were cities/streets designed to make it possible for cars to run over pedestrians?

Saying it was an inattentive driver misses the point that we can't expect fallible people to not make mistakes. We should be designing systems to minimize the damage from inattentive drivers and drunk pedestrians

It is, for the exact reason why I brought it up: if it were in UTF-32, it would take up much more memory.

According to the article, as the owner of the duplex, you would not be subject to the vacancy tax ("It applies to buildings with three or more units, not to single-family homes or duplexes").

As for your other points, yes, the government is trying to incentivize that inventory back on to the market (by disincentivizing keeping it off). Yes, they are doing it in response to a situation they took part in creating. Is this more or less likely than tenant termination freedom to result in more housing being available? That sounds like every market de-regulation argument ever.
I actually don't know how you got to this comment from my narrative. Personally, I deeply enjoyed the ability to surface deep insights into the org and the people based on what superficially may have been a technical or process issue - it gave us much better leverage to continuously optimize the org in great ways.

As usual, the humble potato is king in terms of satiety. There is actually such a thing a "the potato diet" if you want to check it out :) Some people report impressive weight loss results on it.

It's actually fascinating to speculate what about these foods is satiating, take the top part of the list:

Potatoes, boiled 323%
Ling fish 225%
Porridge/Oatmeal 209%
Oranges 202%
Apples 197%
Brown pasta 188%
Beef 176%
Baked beans 168%
Grapes 162%
Whole meal bread 157%
Grain bread 154%
Popcorn 154%
Eggs 150%
Cheese 146%
White rice 138%
Lentils 133%
Brown Rice 132%

It seems that, for carbs, more fiber is usually more satiating. But why is white rice (slightly) more satiating than brown rice? And what is it about this Ling fish, beef, eggs, and cheese that makes them more satiating than lentils or (for some of them) whole grain bread? There's no fiber in animal products. Is it the fat content? Certain amino acids? Or something completely different?
Their control planes are hosted, so that's not an issue. You need three nodes for the control plane's master election, but for failover app routing, two is fine.
I think this is considered an acceptable loss. This is a class of customer that they’re not interested in. They want people with lots of money they can throw their sales people at. If it’s just some lone developer or a bootstrapped startup, they feel like it’s not worth the time.

Whether or not that makes sense is another matter.

Well that's not really a full picture if you take into account that we live in a society... Everyone's actions have externalities, living in a liberal culture is a very different experience for a conservative than for that same person living in a conservative culture, their communities will be very different and affected by the larger culture, etc etc etc. Yours is a very liberal/individualistic point of view. Which is fine but there are plenty of other points of view.

This is why 5 why's is (or should) be paired with something like fishbone diagrams, or why tree's what ever to reinforce that it's not sufficient to regress along a single line - you must try to build out your causal tree out to 5 layers where possible.

Ultimately 5 why's is an arbitrary guideline that balances trying to keep you from being complacent in your analysis, with the need to actually like... stop and make a decision.
