Scheduling Quantum before 10am should be a crime. It's hard to stay awake for even when it's not directly competing with sleeping in. Our class ended up rescheduling Quantum II because having it first thing after lunch was too much of an invitation to snooze. Luckily the class was small enough that a quick survey found we could push it back an hour.

> just to sit in a stuffy room and zoom

Presumably, that's what the return to office plan is trying to fix. Right now, if you go into the office, you're spending a lot of time in zoom calls because half the people in every meeting aren't there. If everyone's in the office, you can just meet in person.
I'm angry at Netflix because of the 4K nickel-and-diming, which is IMO far worse than setting password-sharing limits. Why is 4K $13/month more than their cheapest ad-based offering, and $4.50/month more than the standard package?

This is a truly ludicrous markup on something that costs them literally pennies in terms of infrastructure and network bandwidth each month. It's roughly akin to back when phone companies charged ridiculous amounts each month for Caller ID or SMS messages, even though the network was designed to carry those at virtually no cost.

My other streaming services don't charge extra for 4K, and it's quite obvious that it costs Netflix virtually nothing compared with the other plans, and so it's an obviously bad-faith pricing strategy that just makes them look bad.
If you wait around for it, it may happen. If you organize with your coworkers and demand it - you can make it happen.

Nothing exploded while most companies had no idea whatsoever on how to implement it properly. Things worked mostly fine even though it was through a panic emergency plan that was completely winged due to sheer necessity.

Imagine if it was a plan properly designed and implemented? All this bullshit of RTO is getting old for me exactly because of this point, nothing was done in what would be even close to the optimal way for working remotely and things are still going ok...

I think it's bad when any church specifically endorses or opposes any candidate, Democrat, Republican, Communist, or anything in between.

This is also what the law says if they want to keep their tax-free filing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_Amendment

It would be impossible to draw the line at "politics", because of course basically everything can be considered "political". If they want to endorse a specific candidate, that's fine, but then they should pay taxes like the rest of us.
No one knows what the future holds, but as the dust settles on WFH, I think that FAANG will double down on in-office and use their leverage as desirable large market cap companies with lucrative total comp packages to selectively seek out and retain those who are willing to agree to an in-office or hybrid work environment. They have identified in-person collaboration as a key competitive advantage going forward, want people who agree with that philosophy and don't see the need to budge despite threats from some of their workers that, without WFH, they will quit and the company will wither and die without them.

WFH will continue to proliferate among lower tier companies who simply don't have the same levers around prestige and compensation to recruit and retain good talent and are more strongly incentivized to embrace remote work.
You don't need a simulation. This has been done successfully from Japan with bombs hitched to it.

What did we build exactly? The current model of tech open offices originated in the early 2000s. Before that we had cubicles, starting around the 60s and 70s. And something else before that. Office buildings themselves don't go all that far back, maybe a couple hundred years.

None of these is the "right" model. We will continue to evolve to what suits the present work culture and requirements, and WFH is where we have reached for now.
Supply-chain rumors suggest the launch of a 15.6" MBA in the near future, leakers suggest it has M2 Pro as an option. If so it might offer 32GB (or like the mini vs studio, maybe that will remain a segmentation point). Current rumors are maybe June launch.

I agree though, 16GB is tolerable for casual usage and consumption without massive swapping, but, 32GB would really be nice.

Some parts of it were coupled with parents trying to homeschool their kids (for younger kids, at least, the parental attention required for remote school was high enough it wasn't too far off from simply home-schooling) while "working". Plus the extra stress of, you know, the whole being-in-a-pandemic thing. I recall some grumbling in those days about remote worker productivity and it's like, yeah, no shit, daycares and schools are all closed and households are all dual-income because game theory and zero-sum competition for housing/schools, so....

Those parts ought to be disregarded for any kind of lessons-learned from this, as far as the broader viability of WFH. 2020 through early 2021, at the very least, had some strong confounding factors going on which, one hopes, will not be common in the future.
That is not ironic. It is likely intentional.

I teach the OODA loop in Martial Arts. Watching the pattern develop in my child was fascinating.

First object permanence, then two and three and eventually four dimensional tracking. Throwing is easy. Catching tool effort and developing these skills. I recall him reaching blindly at objects as he could recall their position in space, orient his body, and grab them without looking.

Having him catch Frisbees and racquetballs at 2 years gave me insight into what skill and observational development was required. At some point he was able to transition between projecting the path of a rolling object vs a thrown object.
That is the "conspiracy" non-conspiracy minded people like myself agree they bungled their response but that just confirms my long held position that the government is completely incompetent and we look to them for guidance, or solutions to a given problem at our own peril.

As the famous axiom goes... "Government: If you think you have problems now, wait until you see our solutions."

Their bungling of the response is completely predictable, extending a long long history of bungled responses to emergencies. Of course the predicable reaction to this bungling is not to simply acknowledge the reality of government incompetence, no.. it will be as it always is a mix of not enough money, not enough power, and capitalism / lack of regulation that will be to blame. Government agencies are always pure as the driven snow, and with out fault

Government is always measured by their intentions, never their results.
I don't think that's a substantial problem. We can reformulate the argument like this: assume that brain states correspond 1:1 to mind states. As such, for any qualia there would be a corresponding brain state. If Mary fully understands all details about light and the human mind and brain, she would be able to understand the brain state that would correspond to the qualia of her experiencing a red object. As such, she should be able to put her brain in that state.

If then she exits the room and actually looks at the color red, and if this experience is new to her, it follows that her brain is in a state that it has never been in before, which is a contradiction.

The original claim argues that this contradiction should be taken to mean that the first assumption is wrong - that brain states can't correspond 1:1 to mental states, or, equivalently, that there is no brain state that corresponds 1:1 to a qualia.

However, I believe that there is another premise which seems more obviously flawed, and which doesn't follow from this original one. That flawed assumption is that Mary could put her brain in any state she understands. I believe it's quite plausible that Mary could fully understand the brain state that corresponds to the qualia for seeing red, but still be unable to actually put her brain in that state.

In general, we don't seem to have any direct conscious control of our brain processes, just as much as we can't consciously control the function of our liver or pancreas.
I don't think the US will get one. Historically the only reforms the US has really seen were when it faced disaster (the great depression, WW1 and 2 and the cold war). The price of external hegemony is internal paralysis I suspect...

I actually think SCOTUS is one of the better or at least more reformable parts. We've had terrible courts (deciding ex slaves cannot be citizens or sue in court for instance). And good ones.

Right now, were in a reactionary phase after the 60s and 70s produced a great cultural advance. Once that dies out we might see more progress. Until then we wait and hope...
A lot of the bashing is accurate though. I'd seen tons of questions closed as duplicates, then gone to the thing it's supposed to be a duplicate of, and... its not. Glaringly, blatantly ... not a duplicate. Its as if the person that closed it as a duplicate didn't even read the question well enough to understand it. And, because of that, there's no answer to the new question.
One other reason is that there are fewer places to go.

A lot of entertainment (or "entertainment") happens inside: games, doom-scrolling, 200 TV channels (up from a handful in the eightries) and half a dozen video streaming services, and so on. And there's online ordering too. And since the advent of mp3 and streaming, you don't even need to go out to get a record (assuming teens would even care for that). And the public space is deteriorating in many places.

Teenagers used to go to places to meet their pals and find some shit to do in "meatspace", public parks, various hangouts, and back in the day malls. Today? Not so much.

For many there's also probably less hanky panky (which was in the past associated with cars, teenagers often lacking an available house with understanding parents) and more loneliness compared to past decades (according to various reports).
To their credit, they attributed the assistance by the chatbot. (I don't think they carelessly copy pasted and did not notice the chatGPT notice).

Of course, humans expect honest and sincere communication in times of grief and not automated responses, so that's on the Deans for making poor decisions (just as poor as it would be to hire a PR firm to compose something for them --it probably happens but just does not get announced)

Also, markets can stay irrational longer than people stay solvent.
I think you are largely correct. My observation is that "quality" as a discriminator in a market requires enough market share for quality in order to continue funding it. If you split the aggregate market into a standard distribution, the ability to sell quality products into that market seems to evaporate quickly once you get beyond 1.0 SD from the mean.

The more interesting point (to me) is your second one, which is how do you educate the market to recognize the "cost" of low quality? It is understanding that cost that convinces the market to pay what is required to get the quality version of the product.
I googled and found the correct term for what bothered my friend: Sleep Paralysis [0]:

> Sleep paralysis is a condition identified by a brief loss of muscle control, known as atonia , that happens just after falling asleep or waking up. In addition to atonia, people often experience hallucinations during episodes of sleep paralysis.

I didn't get as far as knowing if there are mitigations. I saw where it can happen falling asleep and waking up, so maybe it is relevant.

Most of it isn't even -good- content, and they're all either poorly dubbed, or not dubbed at all.
I don't know much about the inner personal finances of Kenneth Copeland and his church, but at least during the sermons he very explicitly endorsed Trump and opposed Biden.

Yes in theory you could. I've found it different in practice. Not everyone sits in the same building or on the same floor, and meeting rooms are limited. So you still end up on zoom calls, but now you've commuted.

I sometimes wonder if execs forget what it's like not to have an assistant, or if they've forgotten the power they have so that people _want_ to be in the same room as them. Or maybe they simply like seeing on the peons that work for them.

What policy did I advocate? I'm simply telling you how Americans prefer to live. It's a fact that many advocates of denser housing seem to ignore.

I have a different idea. I think ads can still exist, but in the form of more personalized sponsorships. For example, a company can send a person a product to try and then they can review it. That type of word of mouth is a bit less impersonal than a random ad and maybe we can even have models of trust so that the content creator is known for being objective. An example is Julian Krause on YouTube, who reviews audio gear. His reviews are so good and I feel he is very trustworthy based on what he says.

In my mind, if companies get a few of their products out there and get people to talk about them, it's better than random advertising in several ways. The only downside to companies is that it doesn't rake in as much profit, but I think they can still be profitable, just not as much as they are.

But then again, it'd be much better if we had a society where people bought things only if they really needed them, not if they are assaulted with ads left right and center. In my opinion, such a model is more along the lines of people buying things that really improve their life, rather than accumulating stuff because it seems in vogue.

One consequence is that advertising companies like Google and Facebook will be vastly less profitable, and that's okay. Too much wealth is concentrated to them anyway, and their employees are vastly overpaid in comparison to the value they actually deliver to society.

I fail to see the distinction you're trying to make. Creating the input for the llm to get a specific result is crafting an input in a way that works for the model and it's something we even do between different people(you probably have different ways to ask your boss and spouse to do something).
I've learned that for me, there isn't really an optimal way. All systems I've dabbled with ultimately depend on me making an effort and taking the time to think about where this piece of information would fit best.

However, there is no system I was able to consistently stick with and most of the time I don't want to think about where to put something, I just want to put it somewhere. I have come full circle now and just use a DIN A6 notebook where I draw a line for each day with the current date under which I jot down whatever comes to mind that day. It's got page numbers, so whenever I want to reference something on another page I can just make a note of the page number.

Additionally, I used to write into a inbox file in Obsidian but noticed that it got quite slow especially on my phone, so I went back to Apple Notes.

How many people in tech nowadays do day-to-day work only with people in the same city as them? At my company at least that number is close to 0. Return to office doesn't mean you can stop collaborating with employees in another part of the country or the world. It will just be all that much more painful to do because now you'll have to hunt for empty meeting rooms all day to take calls from.

I guess the obvious question is that if no one on your team is in the same office as you, who will even notice if you don't show up to the office? As long as your direct manager is on board, it seems easy to just disregard the RTO requirement and keep working from home.
