> The real issue, IMO, is that companies hired way too many people who couldn't handle remote work. At this point it's not an option to apply more management pressure or lay them off because they make up large parts of the employee base.

I'm not sure why this would be a different experience than normal performance review. My manager can set my expectations, and if I'm unable to meet those expectations while working remote, we can work out a different arrangement or I can get fired for not meeting expectations.

I really don't see the dilemma here -- the same exact thing could apply for workers who don't know how to work in an office. The solution would be the exact same: set the expectations, and if they're not met then switch things up or let the employee go.
For Russian, at least, sticking the article (bit by bit) into ChatGPT produces results that are broadly comparable to Bing and Google translators. It is somewhat more likely to pick words that are not direct translations, but might convey the idea better given the likely cultural background of someone speaking the language - for example, it will sometimes (but not always) replace "voodoo" with "witchcraft". However, the overall sentence structure is rather stilted and obviously non-native in places.

As others have noted, it doesn't seem to be fully language-aware outside of English. For example, if you ask it to write a poem or a song in English, it will usually make something that rhymes (or you can specifically demand that). But if you do the same for Russian, the result will not rhyme, even when specifically requested, and despite the model claiming that it does. If you ask it to explain what exactly the rhymes are, it will get increasingly nonsensical from there. I tried that after someone on HN complained about the same thing with Dutch, except they also noted that the generated text seemed like it would rhyme in English.

I wonder if that has something to do with sentence structure also being wrong. Given that English was predominant in the training corpus, I wonder if the resulting model "thinks" in English, so to speak - i.e. that some part of the resulting net is basically a translator, and the output of that is ultimately fed to the nodes that handle the correlation of tokens if you force it to talk in other languages.
"the only winning move is not to build"
Indeed, modern hardware is getting ridiculously efficient, and if you go the extra mile to disable hardware you don't use, as well as strip your configuration to run only the software you absolutely need, you can really drive it into the ground.

The later hardware revisions (such as 1.5) of the Raspberry Pi 4B, even with 8GB of memory, can idle at ~1.33W on WiFi with everything unnecessary disabled -- 2GB versions are close to 1.1W. The 8GB version on power-hungry Ethernet (at 100Mbps) can actually be under 1.45W, compared to 1.68W for 1Gbps. PoE is nice, but the hat adds a lot of power -- though it's possible with an 8GB to squeak under 2W via PoE at 1Gbps, though only just barely (~1.98W).

-- -----

For those who go, "but I need real power"... you can have an 8-core Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE (with GPU cores for transcoding), 64GB of memory, multi-TB NVMe SSD, and two NICs (one 1GbE and one 2.5GbE) plus WiFi and Bluetooth idle at under 9W. No, it's not 4W, but to say it can do nearly anything you can imagine is an understatement. You're at the same CPU performance of an i5-12600, with tons of memory for VMs galore, in a system that has the same idle power as a cable modem.

I believe Apple rates the newest Mac Mini with an M2 Pro, 32GB memory and 2TB SSD at just 7W idle. Again, given it's capability, that's pretty wild for 7W.
This is what I wonder. It’s in a conservative state, which is a bad thing for a lot of tech workers. They would have to pay me at least 500k/year to convince me to move to the Bible Belt. Even then…
I have been using a Linode VPS for years. I never talk about it because it always just works. Perhaps that's why? I had never heard of Akamai before they took over Linode. There are bubbles around the world we've never entered. I do hope they continue to upgrade my server for free very couple years just like Linode has always done. If they don't, then we know Linode's true innovation is dead and I may move on.
The Googles told me 60PPD (1):

"If there is any single number that people point to for resolution, it is the 1 arcminute value that Apple uses to indicate a “Retina Display”. This number corresponds to around 300 PPI for a display that is at 10-12 inches from the eye. In other words, this is about 60 pixels per degree (PPD)."

How has the ACLU lost its way? Is there a specific incident that happened?

I don't follow these things too closely, but my perception is they continue to do the same kind of work they always have.
Perhaps using something like keepalived on your server and Pi could be useful here. When the server is off the ip will failover to the Pi to receive server traffic to know when to power on the server. Once the request comes in and the pi powers on the server, it'll come active again and recieve the IP while the pi goes in to standby. That way the Pi doesnt need to be in the read or write path.
If that were the plan, would Oregon officials (for example) pressure to treat it as a layoff?
Because Akamai still has better performance and price point than cloudflare.
That's exactly what AT&T was doing right before the pandemic, different groups were being assigned to specific offices and if you weren't willing to relocate to where your group was being moved to you would (if you were lucky) get laid off but many were simply let go for refusing to relocate without any kind of package. They ended up outsourcing about 1/4 of their IT dept to IBM in 2019 after they had done about 7 rounds of layoffs due to geographic consolidation.
There's a world class art museum there, if that's your thing. Funded by the Waltons, of course :)

I think there is an inevitable difference between someone who is part of the majority experiencing hate speech and someone who is not. I’m white, I don’t even know what a racial term for a white person would be, but if someone called me something offensive it would probably make me feel bad but then I would get on with my day. I haven’t lived with constant background racism. No one has ever abused me simply for being white.

I honestly don’t believe it’s possible to be racist against the majority in the same way as against the minority.
Cave paintings they date by the layering above and below the applied material. Newly applied pigment doesnt have a deposit on top and is distinct from the age and structure of the substrate. Contemporary information comes from things like the age of the smoke marks maybe: burnt things fix their C14?

I imagine in this case there's a bunch of supporting forensics about these marks.

> Linode just has… existed for people specifically looking for virtual machines.

I feel they have been improving little by little throughout the years. I don't remember the exact times when each change happened, but I remember when they introduced hourly pricing, also their $5/month VPS, more variety in the VPSes they offer (GPU-specialized options, high-mem specialized options, etc.), the update of their web interface, etc. I imagine there probably must've also been improvements in their APIs for launching servers, etc. since hourly pricing must've made that useful for automated scaling.
That's because someone is pushing very hard for the after effects of the derailing to be believed catastrophic.

There's zero critical thinking being applied because they (whomever they are) have been building up belief leveraging mistrust of the government, mistrust of corporations, mistrust of science (related to the actual chemicals involved) and false information about the facts of the derailing.

It's very similar to the way that Trump and company brainwashed their followers into almost overthrowing the US government. I won't be surprised to find out it's being done by the same people as before.
This is a script I told ChatGPT to write.

“Write a Python script that returns a comma separated list of arns of all AWS roles that contain policies I specify with the “-p” parameter using argparse”

Then I noticed there was a bug, AWS API calls are paginated and it would only return the first 50 results.

“that won’t work with more than 50 roles”

Then it modified the code to use “paginators”

Yes, you can find similar code on StackOverflow

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66127551/list-of-all-rol...

But ChatGPT met my specifications exactly.

ChatGPT “knows” the AWS SDK for Python pretty well. I’ve used it to write a dozen or so similar scripts. Some more complicated than the others.
How does your personal experience with carrying new electronics into the country apply to broader supply chain difficulties? You don’t have to “grease a palm or two” to carry new electronics into the country if you are willing to pay the lawful customs duty / tax.

As you cast aspersions on others who might be corrupt, please think about your collusion / readiness to bribe and what that says about yourself.
> Losing our fully remote people would be catastrophic to the team

you just made the case for losing the non-remote team and outsourcing everything to a cheaper time zone or even a cheaper country, because why not? after all, remote is so efficient. So why waste money on extremely expensive western labor?

there could be people that, you know, haven't yet done that, like juniors or newhires
When you look at red, you see red. You don't see "frequency" or "light" or any other thing we invented to describe red. When you say red I know immediately what you mean because I am also experiencing the color red. It doesn't require any further description. Descriptions are not the thing, we invented frequency as a measure, it's a concept. It doesn't exist in the real world. The real world is the one that you experience through your senses. It has colors and sounds and tastes and feels. It doesn't have frequencies or any kind of units or measures, those are made up concepts or abstractions over the thing we are experiencing.
I did that experiment at one point, as well. So long as I repeated the board state as an ASCII diagram with ``` fence, it would respect it and make legitimate moves... but they were very dumb moves for sure. And yes, it didn't notice when the game was over.
The good thing about far uvc is it isn't penetrating. It doesn't it make it through your your outermost cornea or epidermis layers.

Scatter is also negligible as long as its set up competently: reflectivity is very different for UV and visible light.

Ozone production certainly limits the maximum power that can be used, but as I understand it you don't need to crank anything close to max power to attenuate the airborne viral load.

Cave paintings have been dated via radio carbon of organic structures built over the paintings .. eg:

Gwion paintings in the Kimberley were created around 12,000 years ago, wasp nests suggest

Enigmatic human figures with elaborate headdresses, arm and waist decorations adorn rock shelters in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

This style of art, known as Gwion, Kiro Kiro or Kujon, was painted by the ancestors of today's traditional owners around 12,000 years ago, a new study suggests.

The date of the art work, published today in the journal Science Advances, is based on radiocarbon dating of mud wasp nests.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2020-02-06/gwion-rock-ar...

Other methods exist, eg:

Calcite deposits covering ancient artworks deep within limestone caves in other parts of the world such as Borneo have been reliably dated using a technique that measures how fast uranium decays into thorium.

But Australian rock art is painted on sandstone — which contains no calcite — and they are in overhangs exposed to the elements.

I actually don’t know Donald Glover’s political views, but I do know Scott Adams’s political views because he’s very outspoken about them and he keeps complaining about “cancel culture”. In general, I’m pretty tired of comedians making low-effort jokes and then going on about how they’re going to be cancelled because they’re “so edgy” - it’s just trying to get a rise out of people. That’s what Adams seems to be trying to do here. He also posted a bunch of tweets about how he was going to get cancelled for that strip and it just made me roll my eyes.

Well then, we’ll have to do with a hypothetical citation from a real universe.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that a train derailment near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in May 2015 was prevented from being a disaster thanks to the train’s Emergency Control Power (ECP) brakes. According to the NTSB report, the ECP brakes, which are activated when the engineer loses control of the train, stopped the train within 1.25 seconds of the engineer’s attempts to stop it, preventing it from derailing. The ECP brakes are the most efficient braking system available, allowing trains to stop within a very short amount of time. Without them, the tragic derailment of Amtrak Train No. 188 may have been much worse.

Anyone know any technical details on why ~/Library/CloudStorage was chosen? Is this to better integrate with what the OS expects for cloud storage providers?
> The bigger problem is how practical is it to use PV at all on much of the moon.

A tactic I've used in Dyson Sphere Program is to build an equatorial belt around the entire moon so that some % of panels are always in sunlight. On our actual moon that would be approximately 7.2m panels, assuming they were a single tightly packed row of 5' x 3' panels.

This sounds like an insane amount but several of the largest solar installations on Earth each have more than that, with Bhadla Solar Park in India having over 10 million[1]. It's a dumb solution but is one which requires no shipment of energy storage. If you're able to mass manufacture panels in-situ, it may be simpler to do something like that than to ship large batteries to the Moon in order to use them as storage.

> For now. Give it a truly persistent memory and 100x the size of the dataset I think most people would change their tune.

Why does it need 100x the dataset? Sentient creatures, including humans, manage to figure stuff out from as little as a single datapoint.

For a human to differentiate between a cat and a dog takes, maybe, two examples of each, not a few million pictures.

An adult human who sees a hotdog for the first time will have a reasonable idea of how to make their own. None of the current crop of AI do this. It's possible that we have reached a point of diminishing returns with the current path - throwing 100x resources for a 1% increase in success rates.

I'd be interested in seeing approaches that don't use a neural net (or use a largely different one) and don't need millions/billions of training data text and/or images.
I like the idea of UBI, but don't see it working. Think about it this way, whenever the government increases grants for schools, the schools just end up raising prices.

I think the same will apply here. Landlords might be more compelled to raise rents, restaurants will increase prices,etc. Eventually, some other party(ies) will find a way to capture that UBI.
Likely they're appealing to execs who have never heard of linode but have seen akamai here and there because they simply have been on the web on occassion.
Yeah no-one drives on a highway to conditions where there might be a human laying on the road waiting to be killed. Even self driving cars killed people in better conditions (person was walking on highway not laying there).
I would say this is what we get for asking non-expert data sources for information we want to present as authoritative.

Let's say we go back before the time of the internet and asked 100,000 random individuals for factual information on random subjects. You'd have a corpus of facts, but you'd also have tons of old wives tales and information that is just wrong.

The internet democratized posting information, but I would say it also did the same with stupidity. Random sites, reddit posts, and stuff we read from hacker news doesn't have to have anything at all to do with the truth.

Maybe pushing models to have some factual information bases that are weighted heavier will help, but I don't see how AI in its current form will come off any better than a person that reads tons of bad information and buys into it.

I find it remarkable to note that not a single person, since, well, recorded history on the subject, has ever matched criticism of capitalism with a viable, well-tested and proven alternative. Perfect it is not. And yet, no other system in human history has elevated more people out of poverty than capitalism.

Ok, so it needs to be able to invent cold fusion for you to recognize it as intelligent? Can you invent cold fusion? Have you ever invented anything at all?

On what basic would/could they make this argument?
My mistake, hopefully I addressed your question though.
I've also learned this as "bring the solution", regardless of whether or not you find the problem.
That's not always feasible, as the built-in filter is usually integrated with the air handler. The add-on will generally have to be in the inlet ducting, so it will come first. I'm not sure that approach would even reduce cost though; much of the benefit of the large filter is that it has way more surface area, and so it lasts longer before restricting airflow too much. If you put a 1" filter in front of it, now you'll have two filters you need to replace regularly. You might preserve the life of the larger filter a bit, but not enough to make up for the cost of the whole extra filter. So I think I'd prefer to either just use a 4" alone (which is what we indeed do), or have the 1" as a backup, and basically use its condition to test whether anything significant is getting past the main filter. It would very rarely need to be replaced, as the primary filter should be catching everything.
Downvoted. Not sure how this is a "BO hater".

Sure. If you deploy on Vercel you can have it serverless. If you are careful with bundles and providers you can even use only one nextjs project for the website, docs, auth, webapp, public api and whatnot.
> I’ve heard it’s a pretty nice town with good outdoors options.

A US military vet once told me that "the base has good hunting and fishing" is code for "it's in the middle of nowhere".
It might be a bit more challenging to make one of those with 4" filters, but yeah, worth a look at least. The other reason I like it is that our furnace is in the crawlspace, so having to get down there less often to change the filters is a pretty significant benefit. I'd do it even if the total cost were equal or higher.
Ok that actually sounds hugely useful. It makes sense for very well known APIs it will get them quite accurately.
> The answer to this is: "we don't really know as its a very complex function automatically discovered by means of slow gradient descent, and we're still finding out"

Technically, that is "an" answer, and while it may be true (that it plays some role), attributing 100% of causality to one variable is a classic GPT-like trained behavior.
