You've got it backwards.

Landlords can deduct mortgage payments, interest, expenses, as well as depreciation from income. If you're only income is the rent, then all expenses are deducted.

As a home owner, you can only deduct mortgage interest from your income.
I would absolutely quit if i lived 40 miles away... 80 miles every day driving sounds awful. even if you lived right off a freeway and the company was right off a freeway and you have 0 traffic with a 75 mph speed limit you are still doing an hour a day just driving in idealized conditions. rough.
The difference being that humans aren't computers and can deal with an attack like that by deciding some sources are trustworthy and sticking to those.

If that slows down fact-determination, so be it. We've been skirting the edge of deciding things were fact on insufficient data for years anyway. It's high time some forcing function came along to make people put some work in.

You think Teams is horrific?

At a certain large company who's all-in on Google Cloud, they use Google Chat. Everbody wants to use Slack but management thinks it's too expensive while Google Chat is free and comes with G Suite which they already paid for.

You don't know what horrific means until you've used Google Chat. Teams is a delight compared to that.
The real lesson here, which is timeless, is that you're safer if you understand why your favorite rules of thumb got to be that way. Did you learn the hard way, from a particular set of circumstances? Do those still apply? Is it a natural consequence of lower level principles? Do you still believe those? Or maybe someone you respect told you to do it, or it just sounded good. Not bad reasons to do things, but knowing that's all you're working from gives you a hint that you should be opening to change your mind.

Actually you've brought up the next challenge of an artist, which marks to make!

Look at the paintings of David Hockney (or even his iPad doodles), there's not a straight line or neat circle in sight. But he's a relentless doodler. As Hockney says himself, art is just seeing. The more you practice, the more you see, the better you are at knowing which marks to make. I'd recommend this doc if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdqch3-D94A

> If a position is deemed able to be WFH, then the position is WFH

Even for Software engineers, I see very few positions which can be fully WFH. If you are newbie, it's better to come to office. If you are a tech-lead of a big team or above, it's better to come to office. Only the independent junior engineer role seems to be a good fit for a fully remote setup.
Not long ago teens up to twenty or so did this kind of work. Fast food, pizza delivery, etc. The skills-required and profit margins for these jobs aren't the kind to support raising a family on. Everyone knew this and accepted it.

Transitioning folks into skilled/good-paying jobs would be better than trying to make service jobs a desired destination.

One part hyperbole, two parts strawmen. Then later, buried in the diatribe is the sensible and somewhat trite sentence that can serve as your tl;dr:

> many modern websites and web-based applications deploy a technique called “server-side rendering” whereby programs running on a web server generate HTML markup with the initial content for web browsers to consume, instead of fetching content over the network once scripts are loaded

I chuckled reading this. It’s like someone landed in 2020 and learned web development while being completely unaware of events in the preceding decade.
Hmm, that sounds like a nod in the right direction, but a rapid initial skim maybe indicates that it's more parallelizing the problem than abstracting it. I've got to read more about it - thanks!

While Minsky & Papert's book on Perceptrons was enormously destructive, I think there is something to their general concept of Society Of Mind, that multiple sub-calculating 'agents' collude to actually produce real cognition.

We aren't doing conscious reasoning about the edges detected in the first couple layers of our visual cortex (which we can't really even access, 'tho I think Picasso maybe could). We're doing reasoning about the concepts of the people or objects or abstract concepts or whatever many layers up. The first layers are highly parallel - different parts of the retina connecting to different parts of the visual cortex, and then starting to abstract out edges, zones, motion, etc. and then synthesize objects, people, etc.

I think we need to take a GPT and a Stable Diffusion and some yet-to-be-built 3D spatial machine learning/reasoning engine, and start combining them, then adding more layer(s) synthesizing about that, and maybe that'll get closer to reasoning...

Does your personal expectation of getting your business model validated enjoy the privilege of stifling everyone else's ability to benefit from a free internet?

I mean, the internet was already around way before paywalls were invented.

And does your business model enjoy this exclusive privilege or does each and every business model have the right to strong arm everyone you deem a market to lose rights?
I bet if nyt charged 1 half cent a read versus subscriptions, they'd make more money.
My guess from what I've heard, or at least a factor.

A lot of cheap money (low interest govt loans, etc) as part of the market propping up in April 2020, and beyond lead to a lot of incoming capital for a lot of these companies. I think just over half or at least close to half of the money printed to assist people went straight to Wall Street. That flooded the market with money which while propping up the market, probably got used to hire a lot of people who weren't necessary for "growth" or not strictly necessary and wasn't sustainable.

I don't know if it's started to use AI for regular search queries, but I noticed within the past week or two that Bing results got much worse. It seems it doesn't even respect quoting anymore, and the second and subsequent pages of results are almost entirely duplicates of the first. I normally use Bing when Google fails to yield results or decides to hellban me for searching too specifically, and for the past few years it was acceptable or even occasionally better, but now it's much worse. If that's the result of AI, then do not want!!!
> China denies that the 1989 Tienanmen Square Massacre even happened even though there are photos of it.

They definitely do not deny crushing an uprising on that date, see for example the commemorative watch given to PLA soldiers who were in action: https://antique-collecting.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/...
Ten train cars worth of formaldehyde averaged over the entire atmosphere would be nothing to worry about, I agree.

Let's say that two train cars worth sank into the ground before breaking down. Now there's two train cars worth of formaldehyde in the groundwater in a localized area.

It's not obvious to me that this is a safe situation. There are plenty of plausible scenarios that could be reality, that would be a very unsafe situation for local residents.

Thus is should be treated as though it is that worst-case bad scenario unless shown otherwise, rather than wand-waving "oh it's probably fine". These are people's lives that are at stake.
It’s clear that there’s been a long term decline in mental well-being over the past few decades. In another example, men have far fewer friends today than even 30 years ago: https://www.americansurveycenter.org/why-mens-social-circles...

You can blame technology to a degree, but even then technology probably just serves to amplify existing negative trends. Kids today are far more likely than in the past to move around and have divorced parents. They’re less likely to live in inter-generational households. They’re less likely to have a job or go to church or interact with society at large in meaningful ways.

Meanwhile what fills that vacuum of civil society is other children, through age-segregated schooling and, these days, social media. That strikes me as a huge problem, because children are antisocial semi-humans without fully developed brains. Having children spend most of their time around other children, without strong socializing forces, is a perverse arrangement.
Nothing wrong with that, hooray for open standards that welcome bridging and interconnectivity (I'm looking at you, Discord).

My main point was that just because there is an AI bubble does not mean that AI is not useful/valuable. Seems like we agree on that.

The consultants not only provide the "cover your ass" service, they also provide the "sunk cost fallacy" service. If anyone critiques the answers, they have to argue against X millions of dollars of "expertise". Choose X large enough that no one dares to dissent.
Indian here. Simple answer is that there just isn't anyone left to stand against his behemoth of a party (BJP).

The Congress/UPA's reputation was severely trampled out when BJP/NDA rose to power in 2014, and it hasn't recovered since. BJP has perfected the art of media manipulation and public politics, and is extremely competent in directing and subverting public sentiment; they are one of the biggest populist forces in the world right now with a formidable and highly-skilled marketing force backing its brand (enough to get featured on Harvard whitepapers). More importantly, they learn and adapt quickly to changing environments. For example, after the JNU fiasco they now seem to recognise the importance of moderation and avoid going gung-ho on dissent in practice (e.g. their prolonged tolerance to the Farm Law protests) while keeping a public image of firebrand rightism to maintain their brand. They are intelligent, very intelligent.

Its opposition, meanwhile, has only gone downhill and keeps embarrassing itself. Opposition parties neither have a well-built plan or timeline, nor do they invoke any significant loyalty from voters. They keep infighting and bickering among themselves while retaining dynastic figureheads from an already disgraced family. They're all so in on themselves they still try to use the same half-baked strategies that used to work in the 2000s.
Matrix's moderation should be at least as good as Gitter. The GitHub integration is okay (it lets you create/comment/resolve issues using your GitHub identity from Matrix, and also can expose GitHub issues as Matrix rooms using https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot). It's not quite as tightly integrated as GitHub was to Gitter though, but we're working on putting it in the Right Panel.

Some example Matrix communities which seem to work well include Mozilla (chat.mozilla.org), GNOME (https://matrix.to/#/#community:gnome.org) and KDE (https://webchat.kde.org/). Smaller ones include folks like Helix editor: https://matrix.to/#/#helix-community:matrix.org. I don't think anyone's written a guide for getting up and running though, which in retrospect is a crying shame; we'll get it on the todo list.

There was an article not too long ago, that I'm struggling to find, that did a great job of explaining why language models are much much better suited to reverse-engineering code than they are at forward-engineering it.
Yes exactly, the willingness to wait. But we're not talking about waiting, we're talking about taking it day by day by focusing on what you can do during that day to the best of your abilities.

Hence, patience is irrelevant, if anything a wrongful framing of the situation that doesn't help anybody. Show up as much as you can every day for yourself and you won't need a single drop of "patience".
You haven't provided evidence of front running or any other form of cheating. Idiots lose money on bad trades every day with no cheating involved, and then they try to excuse their failures by falsely claiming that someone took advantage of them. Math skills alone are only a minor factor in trading.

> The results show working from home does not lead to society ending, rather things like cleaner air.

Results also show lower productivity of fully-remote teams, especially when more than half of your team is new, people haven't ramped up on complex codebases and haven't made good bonds with their colleagues.
I get what you mean here but they probably mean referential meaning... having never seen a dog, GPT doesn't really know what a dog is on a physical level, just how that word relates to other words.

Distant, like when we start getting desperate and have to send off individually-piloted space pods to hopeful exoplanets:

AI would pretty much be the only way we can preprogram enough entertainment for an interstellar journey that works for every pioneer.

By feeding back their individual preferences and unique quirks onto tried-and-true scaffolding like Seinfeld or the Marvel franchise, we can probably more easily endure really long stretches of boring space travel.
Great question. A trivial example, expr (e/client (inc (e/server (e/client x)))) should simplify to just (p/client (inc x)) and eliminate the pointless (and perf-damaging) server round trip.

It gets interesting when you introduce lambdas, revealing that this optimization is non-local – you don't know if the transfer is superfluous until you know where the function is called from, and consider the caller and callee together.

The good news is that the DAG (Circuit really) contains everything there is to know about the data flow, so insert compilers research here and poof, insanely fast app.
In my experience on every setup: different OS version, different screen, etc. the rendering of fonts gives slightly different results, to the point, I just choose whatever works best at a given moment, and don't get too attached to it.
> The Not-Invented-Here Syndrome is considered a classic management pathology, in which a team refuses to use a technology that they didn’t create themselves.

Within the team yes; but my experience with management has been anything "Not-Invented-Here" is considered infallible and practically divine. Anything done in-house is subjected to the deepest level of scrutiny imaginable.

Always has seemed like its due to who they can pass the blame off to - If my team screwed up I'm liable, if an external vendor screws up we had no control over them.

A little premature to be calling such a prediction "silly". I think it's safe to assume some sort of LLM-based tech will be part of the most successful search engines within a relatively short period of time (a year tops). And if Google dallies its market share will definitely suffer.

We wrote extensively about ligatures, pros and cons: https://berkeleygraphics.com/public-affairs/bulletins/BT-001...

Personally, I generally agree with you - ligatures add a layer of ambiguity. Toyed around with the idea of "precision ligatures", but it only works a subset of ligatures.

It's important to keep in mind that ligatures are at the presentation layer, i.e. when the glyphs are drawn. You can still copy and paste the text, underlying representation is still individual chars. Also, ligatures are optional, so why not; a lot of people love them.

When I checked with my friends and coworkers, hybrid was the most preferred option. YMMV?
Teams for Linux, when I inspect it with htop, is actually running a process called "Skype" in the background.

I think that explains some of the crappiness of the UX! (It has required some serious hacking to make it even functional for me.)

Since then my team has swapped to using Discord for what we're doing. It sounds a bit weird to use a Gamer tool at work but it's actually been pretty great since we run an Open Source AI + Security community[0]. Having everybody in one place is great!

For anybody else that's building dev tools or that's doing Open Source work, I'd really recommend Discord. The video quality is great for screen sharing (biggest problem with Google Meet) and the client is significantly better than Zoom (which chugs constantly on Linux). Plus it's cheap! (~$25/month for the whole dev team)

Teams is the worst business app, except for all the others (Zoom, Slack, etc).

It's hard to take an argument against teams seriously when in the same breath they advocate for Zoom or Slack, both of which are complete nightmares and virtually toy applications.
For what it's worth, unless something's changed those accounts have admin privileges but _not_ root privileges.

Last I checked (and by that I mean found out the hard way) there are still places across AWS that you can lock everyone but root out of. Particularly it seems around a few of the places where you're configuring policies on specific resources rather than through IAM.

We ended up setting a policy on an S3 bucket that locked everyone out. The root account _always_ has permissions to edit/remove that policy, but the policy itself prevented the admin accounts from removing it.
I might agree with that second one provided that germ line isn't affected. If it is, then their changes affect future generations.

I'm also curious if there are any scenarios where this might be used on a host and an infectious agent is present in the host which shares the right cut point to create some unknown mutation. It's probably 1 in a million, if it's even possible. But it's interesting to think about.
99% of US commutes are extremely unpleasant, is a big part of it, I expect.

1) I prefer working in an office.

2) I must have good public schools—non-negotiable.

3) I'm going to hate & resent my commute unless it's also physically-active time (walking, biking) and fairly safe. The cost, the unpleasantness, the lost time. The risk, for that matter.

This combo means the happiest place I'm at all likely to end up is remote working. It's damn near impossible to satisfy requirement 2 and also preference 3 while working in an office. So preference 1 is sacrificed, making 3 moot and 2 easier to satisfy. It's not a hard call to make.
I think this is the real joke
There are different sales models, each optimising for different outcomes: self-serve is the easiest way to get the first dollar, but it has trade-offs. If you're unwilling to talk to sales upfront, you're probably not going to go on to be a high value customer, and the platforms you're interested in have probably determined that self-serve customers are not their target audience (because of the trade-offs).

A big challenge with self-serve is the ability to accurately price without any prior context: there's a dance between service providers and service customers, where the service provider is trying to maximise revenue and the customer wants to pay the least possible. Selling to a human, after discussing their needs and budget, makes it much easier maximise revenue from that customer.

A good lesson to take from this experience is that just because you want a service, does not mean you're the target customer of every company selling that service. If you're unable to find the experience you need from one service provider, you should absolutely move on to the next -- nobody is going to take offence :)

>Reading that appeal by LibraryLass at the bottom of the thread, the one that won the unban broke my heart.

>That plea for unbanning sounds like LibraryLass basically made rpg.net the center of living, and could not stand any more not being able to participate. LibraryLass's former mod colleagues took pity and revoked the ban despite having concerns about what might happen ... and then LibraryLass, I guess, promptly broke the conditions of said unbanning.

It is 2023, there should be a self serve tier for all SaaS products. A call sales only service smells like an MVP to me.
