As a manager, I actually find people doing "big picture" thinking quite annoying to deal with. What I want you to do is concentrate on the tasks in front of you and do those well. You shouldn't be caring about the total amount of tasks to do, or if we are going to finish the project on time. That is my problem, not yours.

At some point I realised that it's better to have all the issues in the tracker assigned to project managers and never have more than half a dozen on someone at a time because some people just can't seem to handle it.

People with a lot of work assigned to them will report how stressed they are and how they are working too hard. When I ask them if they are working more than 40 hours a week they tell me "no". (We don't allow people to work unapproved overtime)

And then if you unassign all the work off them and just parcel out the issues they work the same amount of time and produce about the same amount of work and yet are not "overworked" to hear them tell it.
Plot twist: The only reason Elon laid off all those people was because of the Slack bill Twitter was getting every month.

Before I worked from home, when I'd commute downtown I'd usually end up buying a coffee on my way in, and then it grew to morning and lunch/early afternoon. Yeah if this isn't you then the comparison is void.
No.

Coffee is a berry. "Tasting like coffee" includes those fruit aspects, because it is literally a fruit. Bringing out its natural fruity characteristics requires quality, fresh beans and a very competent roaster. Fruity and tea-like is exactly one of the aspects I go for when seeking out coffee.

Roasting to a higher level has been popular historically because it can cover up all sorts of faults, but still give a consistent character. Most of us grow up only tasting that.

But find a high quality lightly roasted specialty coffee, or even roast your own beans... and there's so many nuances there that are missed when clobbered with a high roast level.

So yes, I want my coffee to taste like coffee too. Like the coffee berry.
If you want to do the right thing and help fix it use a burner phone to send proof and let someone else break the news who actually has something to gain from it. Like a news agency local to the company perhaps. You have nothing to gain and a lot to lose.

Yeah as I've discovered, making it more like a French press makes it better.

So why not just use a French press? It's much less complicated.

My first week with aeropress, a majority of the attempts were dogshit. More dogshit coffee in one week than in 10 years with French press. And really only one way to fuck it up in French press. Forget it on the counter (10+ minutes). There's more ways to fuck up aeropress than I can count. I admit I can usually only count to ten.
TLDR: The bill doesn't ban theoretical models, it gates them behind an intro course that cannot be itself based in theoretics.

The bill only applies the restrictions to general ("open") courses, and only applies to courses who's curriculum is solely based in theoretics.

IE, in an intro Phys course you can cover theoretical models as part of the general curriculum because the entire cuticular model is not based in them. It can be a unit, but it can't be the course.

Courses based entirely on theoretical models aren't banned above the general level. Theory-based courses are allowed, but only above the general-tier.

That being said, some better language around how the bill determines what is and is not 'theoretical' would be interesting.
Some mobile apps are like this. Even some desktop apps, won't move forward without it's connection to the mothership. Yes, it's frustrating. I like offline capable systems.

The money isn't there for offline ability on most websites. So... I can appreciate it from a distance.

Honestly surprised to see the downvotes on this reply. It's not a worse answer than the question. While I think there is a discernable difference between these beers, and could feel like having one more than an other depending on my mood, at they end of the day these would be interchangeable to many.
There are lots of valid definitions of "AGI" (and of "sentience" for that matter). One that Sam Altman has used in the past is, paraphrasing, a system that can complete many tasks as well as the median human. IMO that's a reasonable definition of AGI, and I don't think it's hard to imagine a system that meets that definition but that isn't sentient in any meaningful sense.

I have no idea what its metabolic pathways are, but it's possible that by bypassing first pass metabolism might mean that more of the substance reaches the liver versus its metabolites.
The chair doesn't get adjusted until it has already caused pain. Thanks for your concern.

Actually I'm going to lay into you for this. Do you have any fucking idea what its like to not be able to get an erection? Not to feel your legs, shoulders, or hips for days? To not be able to tell when you have to poop? And all it takes is a fucking $200 chair that they leave the fuck alone to be just fine? I don't need the goddamn ada. All I need is a little trial and error to get my spine aligned right so I can sit for 8 hours without "SUPRISE you cant feel your DICK" and then to have that chair left the fuck alone.

Dude you will be so fucked when you hit 60. You have no idea how much you will hate the world for the lack of consideration it shows you.
Cat, head, and tail are all you need.
How about this for an idea:

1. Find the least-incriminating/reputationally damaging records within whatever quantum of the data you are prepared to look at

2. Make a website (with a landing page like for security bugs >.>), Tor site, pastebin dump or whatever else that seems reasonable

3. Publish 1-10% of the data (!)

4. Encourage the site to do the news rounds

5. Explicitly email the company to be concretely sure they know about the site (maybe even do the CC bomb thing, for extra overkill bonus points)

6. Provide contact info with clear indication you will promptly provide all info to an adequately verified third party

The leak should disappear within the hour presumably.

Naturally, brain-breaking levels of self-protection would necessarily need to be employed, to guard against incompetent/egoistic retaliation (and the systemic resources large organizations effectively own). Make the Protonmail address from a VPN over a VPN over Tor, for example. Or perhaps start with a voice-scrambled VoIP call before committing to a video chat. Good luck here, basically.

It's not 2010 anymore. Google sucks to work at if you're a talented engineer that actually wants to do impactful things. In fairness I should specify that there are a few teams at Google that do amazing things but the vast majority of the employees are just cogs in a vast machine.

Ironically, U-2 is itself a “weather plane”:

> When the U.S. government learned of Powers's disappearance over the Soviet Union, they lied that a "weather plane" had strayed off course after its pilot had "difficulties with his oxygen equipment". What CIA officials did not realize was that the plane crashed almost fully intact and that the Soviets had recovered its pilot and the plane's equipment, including its top-secret high-altitude camera.

Maybe tell someone like Troy Hunt from haveibeenpawned. He has a pretty good reputation/following for verifying this kind of thing and telling the right people.
People have interests and find ways to invest in them. You don't think there are people on "barista wages" who have saved up for a nice guitar and amp, or a gaming PC, a car that was a little fancier than they needed, or some kind of small vacation?

You can't have all of those things when you're scraping by, but some people outside of the tech industry do indeed manage to sort out stable finances and self-indulgences.
Immersion is so easy and so consistent I can't go back. You can screw it up badly and it's still quite good.
If organized crime infiltrating particular institutions invalidates them by itself... then you're obligated to disdain or even eliminate large chunks of capitalism. Certainly casinos and night clubs. Lots of restaurants. Probably construction and real estate, definitely certain kinds of banking. Oh yeah -- law enforcement too.

That's the thing about crime: it's pretty much everywhere people are. Churches have cooperated with it. But that association doesn't define what churches are, it doesn't define what law enforcement is, it doesn't define any of the other businesses. In any walk of life, in any kind of organization, there can be people who will organize force and influence for private benefit rather than cooperating for the ideals an institution was created for.

Unions are subject to that too? Well no kidding.

Also "dystopian, Hollywood writeresque prose" -- WTF? The comment you're replying to contains a credible model of how market systems become non-competitive. It's useful whether you like market systems or not (if you like them, you can use it to inform improvements). And what's comes out of creative media production is such a wide variety of content that the only thing that's certain is that you can't keep it all under one umbrella, much less one as tattered as the one you just unfolded. But even if we could imagine some representative-middle it sure wouldn't have a lot of dialogue in it resembling the comment you're responding to. The whole thing just smacks of name-calling driven by unreflective associations.
The amiga 500 looks much more like the 'rare' Commodore B128 (not a typo) to me for some reason.
My current fun internet science quest it reading papers about how much iron is in the sun, or perhaps better said as how big is the iron core in the sun.

this has been especially fun because the answers ranges from fractional percentages to most of it.

The most of it theory says that the sun is a stellar remnant, but I think fusion would suffer if that were the case.

The fractional percentage theory is based off of the observed spectra of the sun.

The sizable iron core theory is based off of the observed atomic composition of the inner solar system. there are also missing neutrino observations that support this theory, that is, there are not enough observed neutrinos that match a hydrogen core but do match an iron core.

Like I said a fun subject, I love it when an innocent question "How much iron is in the sun?" leads to such wildly different theories.
Often times, people would walk up to the devs and ask if we could work on this thing. Often times, especially if they were fat cats in the company, we'd happily switch gears to appease. Our manager homie eventually told us like "Look, I'm your manager and I delegate the tasks that have been requested of us. Have whoever comes up to you to talk to me, even if it's [SVP of Engineering guy]." And so we did and it streamlined everything a bunch.

At CentML, we profiled GPU utilization on a larger AI/ML research institute cluster. 10% to 45% range, mostly in 10% utilization range. We then offered them software optimizers (which do not affect model accuracy) to get to the 90% utilization for GPUs

Cool photo, but it's ironic that an alleged spy balloon is being monitored from a spy plane. There's public outcry over China spying on the US, yet this same plane has been used to spy on many other countries for decades now. It's much more sophisticated, and not even state-of-the-art anymore.

This whole story feels sensationalized, and like a diversion tactic.
It would be nice to know what this offers that emacs doesn't already ... other than it being built on a more modern GUI framework (Electron).

It's rough, but it's a personal choice for a TECH WORKER to move to a country with draconic immigration conditions.

If you brought your family over then you should be ready to leave the country at a month's notice. Understand that you're not really wanted in that society, even for a tourist visa you may have to jump through a lot of bureaucratic hoops depending on your country of origin.

There are other countries with friendlier visa conditions. You may have to learn a new language but you'll probably have a more stable and predictable experience. But if you chose to go to the USA and subject yourself to the H-1B uncertainty, then live with that choice.
I mean, a grande americano at Starbucks here is $5, and supposing your partner or roommate uses it too, and that maybe a third of days you have 2 coffees, that would cost average of $13/day so yeah, you'd make it back in 800/13 = 62 days. But look, if you don't want to drink coffee this often, or are even less precious with how you like your coffee then it may not be worth it, I'm not judging!
Yes it's the ethical thing to report it. Do you know how many people get harassed by stalkers every year in the US? I wouldn't put your name on the report though, just report anonymously.

What editor are you using that uses angled quotes on HN plain text comments??
Yeah I think vim style modal editing is really useful, but honestly I get about 70% of the value from doing it "wrong"; using a fast key repeat and holding down hjkl, using visual mode a lot, etc.

Your attitude is probably sound and productive in itself, but it's going to drive away a lot of top performers and leave you with a predictable but modestly achieving team at best. You may benefit from finding a way to accommodate some of those "big picture" thinkers who show more initiative and who might bring attention to some of your own blind spots and misjudgments.
Something that allows me to cleanly handle multiple keyboards and mice on Ubuntu, map them to interesting Unicode characters, as well as to macros.

I'm not sure what your link does for me. It points to some proprietary Mac app, as well as a few keypads. The keypads are listed as "programmable" but:

- Key codes don't correspond to Unicode characters or similar.

- Multiple keyboards are a mess. I can't, for example, have a Greek keyboard (for math equations) and a US one (for programming) because the key codes overlap.

- Most macro programming on these things is a train wreck. It's usually a proprietary app on an OS I don't use.
Understanding Georgism/economic rents was like a revelation to me. So many of the common complaints against capitalism are actually complaints against rent-seeking, whether it's landlords, Nestlé extracting water for free and making exorbitant profits from it, or internet companies using regulation to create artificial monopolies that reduce consumer choice and product quality.

As someone who loves the idea of economic liberty, YIMBYism and Georgism are natural allies, but unfortunately many supposedly pro-liberty people are ardent defenders of rent-seeking under the guise of "capitalism".

It's a cross-aisle concern, with politicians for and against on both sides. In reality, productive enterprise would blossom under a tax-neutral switch to land value tax, and cities would prosper when combining that with YIMBYism.

Imagine having no income tax, and instead a land value tax. You wouldn't be punished for your labour, and you could afford to buy with your increased income as land values would be greatly suppressed!

More capital would flow to businesses instead of land banking, mortgages, and rent extraction.
Naltrexone metabolizes into methylnaltrexone which lasts longer in the blood and has stronger but slightly different binding profiles than its parent. Is the response from LDN the result of naltrexone, its metabolites or both?

The fact is this system is rigged against people born in India specifically (not Indians, Indians born outside India are fine). If you had a rule that discriminated against, say, Jews, it would be called out for being anti-semitic. If you had a rule saying people born in Israel are ineligible for something, maybe it might be okay even though it largely amounts to the same thing. US is, of course, free to make whatever rules it likes, but it is a rule designed to discriminate against a particular nationality. Can you give an answer for why an H1B holder from India has to face a significantly higher wall than an equivalent H1B holder from, say, Spain?
I think comparing OLD to big Casinos is incredibly reductive.

I also think you’re bending my words into a straw man. If I had to play this game, the better answer would be “it’s an addictive gambler’s responsibility to keep out of casinos, or set a limit and stay within it”.

An addict has problems with alcohol. It’s their responsibility to deal with it. The fallout in their life is their responsibility to handle, nobody else’s.

A bipolar person can’t control their moods. It’s still their responsibility to deal with the fallout of manic episodes and try to stabilize their mood. Eventually most bipolar have the ability to recognize that they are at the centre of the broken relationships in their life and act upon that knowledge for the positive.

She’s either already vain and entitled or became repugnantly vain and entitled through OLD. It’s her responsibility to deal with that. The article reads like someone trying to bury the fact that they are at the centre of their suffering.

I agree tolerance and willingness to settle are key attributes to a happy and long lasting relationship. She seems to have neither in spades.

My vim history is much like yours. I’ve tried to learn more about its features but unless they made their way into my daily workflow immediately, I just as easily forget them. Finally, I threw in the towel and decided I knew enough to get my work done and stopped.
I wrote a comment agreeing with your parent comment, but this probably applies to me:

> I hear this sort of opinion most eagerly expressed by engineers who in fact are quite handy with vim!

But to me, that makes me think that you should wonder whether there's something to that. For me, you're right, I did get really handy with vim at one point. After I had been using it to a very basic level for two or three years, I felt kind of sheepish and guilty and endeavored to learn it properly. So I bought into doing it "right" for awhile, wrote a bunch of custom script to customize it, the whole shebang. And my conclusion after that was that it wasn't really worth it. I went back to just using the basic stuff. This is also, importantly, supported in every IDE's keybindings, so I can use modal navigation and editing anywhere without needing to customize anything, which is pretty great.

> externalizes the cost completely to prospective employees.

This assumes that such a system would actually produce enough people willing to bear the cost instead of underproducing resulting in reverting to prior strategies in order to continue existing with the primary successful strategy being successful long term relationships with workers including paying them the new market rate after training is complete to make "pouching" non trivial.
