Coffee has no subjective effect on my energy or arousal or alertness. I just really enjoy the taste and aroma. Every year or two I wonder if I'm getting addicted or inured to caffeine's effects, so take a few experimental weeks off. Sure enough, nothing happens - no withdrawal effects or subjective reduction in alerness/arousal/energy. I return eventually because I miss the taste with my morning toast. I haven't quite generated the curiosity to to read up on it, but I idly wonder if caffeine just doesn't have much effect on some people.
Nice caste system you've got there
I can provide an example.

I have found ChatGPT to be a valuable tool for improving the clarity and readability of my writing, particularly in my blogs and emails.
You can try this by asking questions such as "Can you improve the grammar of the following paragraphs?". You can also specify the desired tone.

It is impressive at simplifying complex technical language. Take the following sentences from a draft I wrote:

To mitigate these issues, it is recommended to simulate the effect of say n random permutations using n random hash functions (h1, h2, … hn) that map the row numbers (say 1 to k) to bucket numbers of the same range (1 to k) without a lot of collisions. This is possible if k is sufficiently large.

What ChatGPT suggested:

To address these issues, it's recommended to simulate the effect of n random permutations using n random hash functions (h1, h2, … hn). These hash functions should map the row numbers (from 1 to k) to bucket numbers within the same range (1 to k) with minimal collisions. This is achievable if the range k is large enough.

Twilio's debt to equity ratio is small enough to be irrelevant.

Revenue is falling while the economy is still growing because pandemic trends are reverting to normal. Same as e-commerce, which caught Shopify and Amazon with too many employees. Same as media, which caught Netflix flatfooted.

People are shifting their spend from goods to services and from online to offline. Coincidentally, that's what people use to explain inflation. There's always micro trends underlying a macro trend.
got into it on the show, picked up the game for 9.99 this weekend! the game is so much grittier and more violent (and I already thought the show was gritty and violent lol). I love zombie stories and this is one of the greats that I've missed out on till now.
Teams is built upon broken dreams, broken design, SharePoint and the MS screwed up user account model. Add to that new poor tech choices, poor security choices and you have a beast that can't be controlled.

I worked at a Java shop where they built their own "ORM." I use that term loosely. I showed up there about 4 years after this decision and was amazed by the WTFs I saw. Example: They weren't using prepared statements. Instead, they had some half baked escaping system that would occasionally trigger syntax errors in production.

This is the real reason people hate it with such a passion. It's just got so many baffling/annoying misfeatures that you could make lists about it endlessly.

Have they changed the thing where you only see a circle with people's initials during meetings and you have to click on them to see their actual names?

Edit: note that zoom has some equally-baffling and irritating design choices, but at least it performs well and doesn't try to do nearly as much, so the list of things I hate about it stays small. It's also damning that the list of things I hate about it hasn't changed in the three years I've been using it heavily, but at this point I'm grudgingly comfortable with its "quirks."
I agree wholeheartedly with your general points. We are about to face an intense chaos, if we're not already in the midst of it.

I'm less pessimistic on how many people believe media at face value. There's been large reduction in people who do, and the beginning of that shift is willingness to doubt their 'trusted' sources.

When someone says 'this happened' and you say 'actually that turned out to be fake news/not the whole truth' there's a much greater shift in reaction to that than a decade+ ago. The kneejerk is increasingly less condemning.

Swimming seems to have a tradition of pre-dawn practice times. I never understood that. Nobody uses the high school pool after school (unless there's a meet).
Hmm. I wish this analysis accounted for availability of spices in different regions: I would expect onions and garlic to be more prevalent in Scandanavian dishes than cinnamon and ginger simply because those are easier to grow in temperate climates.

Would be interesting to look at which spices have 'broken into' a cuisine despite being not agriculturally viable in that region. How does this set of spices differ from the broader set? More antimicrobial?
Exactly, as long as GPUs keep swelling larger and larger, pcie cards just aren't going to be practical.

It's crazy that X670E literally has multiple chipsets daisychained together ostensibly to increase expansion capability and yet there's less and less expansion available to end-users. And what there is, is almost entirely blocked by the GPU these days. I would love to see a board with tons of pcie slots attached to the chipset or PCIe switches, but, it wouldn't make the GPU go away for those users who want a discrete GPU.

The only real viable solution I see is thunderbolt, move as much as possible out of the case and break that expansion out as external ports. And tbh the PCIe add-in-card form factor just isn't working for GPUs anymore, the GPU needs to become a standardized module that is connected separately (via riser if desired) and it probably needs a 48V rail. The GPU being 3-4x the TDP of the CPU but completely dimensionally unstandardized and running crazy currents at 12V is not sustainable.

I was doing it about 5 years ago, and it was mildly profitable without putting in a lot of effort. I see a lot more things dropshipped on amazon now, etc, so it would probably take a lot more effort now to make any serious money.
After reading all of these I still think it's "the bus routes", or more generally speaking, "the commuting".

I grew up in an asian country and my parents never picked me up after I was 10. I just took buses from home to school and then from school to home. I'm not saying our system is better than the US, but it's a bit of culture shock that everyone commutes in their (parents') cars there.
Ok. Deeply surprised by that info. I basically never woke before 7am (and that was too early!)
How would you identify highly creative people? Genuinely asking. If you advantage them, parents will do everything they can to make their kid look like one even if they aren’t one. And some kids will not look like one due to a bad home life or food insecurity or untreated developmental disorder.
What a shitshow. I feel sorry for you, Frenchies. When this inevitably backfires, at least we’ll have an example to point to when some moron attempts to legislate this in a different part of Europe.
A teenager myself, I agree schools should start later. To my surprise, the gym teacher is allowed to make some students wake up at 5 A.M. to run laps. There's also no reason why classes starts so early at my specific school, as sport teams and extracurriculars are basically inexistant. The bureaucracy behind all of this must be such a nightmare in Canada too...
The conversation has definitely evolved to push back on it but in any practical sense its still "be a man". I feel that is the general expectation of males.
Note: steps 1-4 will likely be done in somewhat reverse order (3,4 first, then 1,2, then building `beta`)
The term often used for non-germ line is Somatic.

Human mutations arise in two major settings: the germline and soma. Germline mutations occur in sperm, eggs, and their progenitor cells and are therefore heritable. Somatic mutations occur in other cell types and cannot be inherited by offspring. Somatic and germline mutations matter in health and disease.

Why would you need react to render server side components?
If you're google, Microsoft of Amazon it's moot because you're eating your own dogfood. But regardless I think it's a myth to think that because a company has a lot of profit they won't pinch pennies. Every team has to aggressively manage their budget. If you have 40k employees then $5/mo adds up pretty fast.
This is an odd take to me for 2 different reasons:

- let's reflect on what "made up" means in this context

- you're saying we should doubt the critics of an AI system because their results aren't reproducible. But the creators of this AI system have made it closed, subject to constant change without notice, and to my understanding don't support _any_ reproducible use of it. Should making an system which resists reproducible invocations mean that system is invulnerable to critique? Should we not also view all the system's alleged successes with the same doubt?
Or locate schools closer to where people live. It seems like it ought to be possible to locate at least elementary schools within walking distance of the kids homes.
Except web components are client side only.
No schools around here have pools, have to share the YMCA pools with other groups
For me it would be a clear sign that my employer does not give a shit about me when making tooling decisions. And that situation is definitely one that would have me eyeing the exits.
6:15? Holy crap. High school here (Australia) starts at 8:50. And even then I think that's too early for natural teenage sleep patterns.

My kids are lucky in that we're close enough to school that they can leave at around 8:15. When I was in high school I had to get the bus at 7:30, which was a real struggle. The idea of starting school at 6:15 is just pure insanity.
I have kids and I agree with this. Giving someone work on a holiday or weekend because of their parental status is pretty bad. I think I would quickly leave a place like that.

We have one local district with a weirdly-far-removed area with a couple local schools but who have to travel really far to get to the high school, which is farther out of the city in an exurb town. That's (the town) also where all the sports facilities are.

Everyone concerned would clearly be better off if this little area could be absorbed by another district (it has two better-fit candidates bordering it! Of the three plausible options, it's connected to the silliest one! And, hell, those two are both better ranked, academically than the one it's attached to, by a long shot!) or become its own mini-district—the ones up in the town hate the ones from "down South" (and, yes, there's very explicitly a racist element to this for some of them—which is fucking absurd anyway, the area's majority white and includes some neighborhoods far richer than the average of the town, but having lived in a different but similarly-situated far-removed exurb growing up, I know exactly the kind of messed-up ideas they get about "the city") and resent sending any district money that way, while having to go way North for high school sucks for the ones down South, both due to the sheer distance and because of the, ahem, cultural differences.

Why will they never separate? Losing those kids would drop the district into a less-prestigious sports conference, since they'd be smaller. No way they wouldn't fight any change, tooth and nail, despite plainly thinking the kids from farther south are shit. Plus they, ah, rely on that geographically-nonsensical southern annex for player recruitment. Yes, the whole thing's just as gross, in fact, as that reads. All because of fucking school sports.
>COVID did not change the economic metrics on that

I disagree with this assertion completely.

You are commenting on an article that illustrates the fallout from COVID having economic consequences that companies are working through. Inflation, higher rates, over-hiring, and I would add over-investment in expensive prime real estate. There have been plenty of reports about companies having to deal with new problems with higher rates necessitating cost cutting. One of which is re-assessing the need for huge amounts of expensive real estate. Facebook and Amazon come to mind in this regard. Others may follow.

The change here is we may be enterning a new economic cycle unlike the last 10 or so years of extremely low interest rates and huge VC money as well as companies running stock buyback and stock compensation schemes to paper over low or no profitability. You can claim the next few years will be like the last few years, I simply disagree with this. So in this light, WFH may be a variable in equation of lowering costs.

>started to limit where they can hire from to only states / nations where they have business in already

Ok, but the dynamic I describe can still be achieved by limiting workforce to US. You can still have a wider pool of workers who want to stay located in lower costs states near their hometowns and families and not need large footprints of expensive real estate.
Literally every link in the page is a paper. Pubmed, NCBI, HSPH, etc.

Also, the interaction of caffeine with adenosine is not new.

I also read somewhere else, in relation to the tolerance build-up, that as the caffeine intake becomes regular, your body produces more and more adenosine than usual to counter-act it. Thus, if you quit the caffeine intake suddenly after many days or weeks of regular intake, you get a crash of biblical proportions. I don't have a source for this right now, but it's also consistent with my own observations. It's also why articles typically suggest to lower the dose progressively when you're trying to quit.

And another myth might be its "positive" effects on exercise. While there are mixed studies on whether caffeine is a diuretic and/or whether it causes dehydration, from my own observations, the motherfucker does make me want to drink insane amounts more of water. So the fake energy sensation is kind of counter-acted by that. Of course, this is my own biased, non-scientific opinion, but I've experimented with this, doing the same exercise the same day of the week, across multiple weeks, with/out the coffee shot. If I want to maximize exercise output now, I stay clear of it, get a good sleep, stay hydrated.
> Looking at the source code, it is impressive that this re-implementation is essentially complete! Look at this: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/tree/main/src/uu It's only missing some obscure and fringe things.

It's not just a matter of having all the individual tools, it's a matter of having them be functionally complete and behaving either the same as GNU or POSIX - note the graph part way down the readme that talks about having only slightly better than half of the tests passing. And the tests probably aren't truly comprehensive, especially for things that people didn't realize were implementation specific or non-guaranteed behaviors. It's good to see them making progress, I just want to someone temper the idea that they're close to done.
fiber optics might give you data, but you cannot run power over them, and power lines are basically huge antennas... There's not a lot you can do to mitigate that
https://archive.is/1OXxG
Yes. When people talk about “turnkey” they are talking about higher level aggregate products though. For example, ZenDesk is a “turnkey” customer support product that is built on top of Twilio APIs. Dropbox is a “turnkey” file management product built on top of AWS S3 APIs.

These days, Twilio does have a lot more integrated solutions, but people still think of them as just the message transport layer that they started as.
Gitlab and Element's website structure is different. element.io is the site for the managed product, so even their "on-premise" installer is meant to be used in a commercial relationship. For install docs you'd probably have to purchase their product (which isn't available freely).

You probably want to read the open-source software's installation instructions at: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web

TLDR, check out the project, run `yarn install`, then edit the config file, then `yarn build`.

And, yes, that is all there is to it. It's significantly simpler to deploy than GitLab.

Finally, you keep mentioning self-hosting; you _can_ just use a non-self hosted application like the downloadable version of Element, SchildiChat, Fluffychat, or any other client.

No reason to bring hosting into the mix for the client, if that's causing concern.

Two downsides. One is the lack of number pad even in 15.6 inch laptops. Another is the lack of even a single memory DIMM slot so that I can upgrade RAM. Rest of the things I can live with. The only reason I buy 15 inch laptop is for the dedicated number pad. Many new laptop manufacturers has excellent specs except for the keyboard choice. Just include a number pad in all big laptops please. Thank you!
Wild that we've kinda just let these random companies handle such a vital part of our global infrastructure

Edit: Made this comment when it was thought that the entire TLD was unresponsive. The point still stands IMO but that's the original context.
This is a deeply cynical view and mistakes what makes educating children challenging for the goals of education. Some educators suck. Some educational systems suck. Some engineers suck. Some tech companies suck. But to paint the entire educational system with the same shitty brush is absurd. I know many teachers and many people who work in education who go above and beyond to try to give kids the best experience possible. And despite what the tech universe seems to think, educational approaches change and improve and new ideas come into the mix, sometimes fairly rapidly. If anything, it's the fact that educational systems seem to be habitually underfunded that hinders them more than anything.

Fund free public education. It pays back huge dividends.

And treat teachers with respect.

Generally, something like a nginx reverse proxy is pretty performant. The opsec gains come by rotating the infrastructure you run on. If you had something like a ingress -> middle -> backend, and then regularly changed hosts, by the time someone is able to get a court order to seize the ingress, you've already moved on and they need to start the process over.

In terms of system hardening, since the outer machines are almost bare, they are hard to hack. Attempting to attack the backend server isn't easy either (assuming the the webadmin knows what they are doing. Things like blocking outgoing traffic and configuring the system to not leak the backend server's IP)

There are only a certain amount of hours in a day that you can be actively chasing something. Your energy depletes, places close, sun goes down. So it doesn't matter if you get up at 4AM or at 10AM, what matters is the active hours you give yourself. The 4AM person is probably going to sleep earlier than the 10AM, so it equals out.

The only real catch about this all is the simple fact society is based around the sun, and so if you are someone who wants to get up extremely late (2PM+), you have to work harder to accommodate. But those are very rare outside of health conditions. Even most night owls who say they're not a morning person, tend to wake up before 12PM purely because of how society functions. They can't have meetings when others are asleep!

Although the interesting part is how much this changes in the future, with increasing levels of remote work and automation to compensate.

Sometimes I think it’s also naive to think that food and modern conveniences (for you and your descendants) will continue to arrive if you just do your job… today you may have food on the table for your family by just showing up to work. But are you sure that whoever you work for won’t keep upping their share and reduce yours as time passes?

Maybe just maybe “the system” (as you called it) is just a seemingly more civilized way of doing what was done before: surviving.
