> Robin: The COO can’t waste time trying to track down some engineer and talk to them about… uh… God knows what.

At my first job (infrastructure monitoring, 24/7 shifts) the COO appeared one morning at 7:30 am in the office because he had seen a ticket opened a few minutes before from a particularly annoying but important client.

He proceeded to give us some additional context on that client, added some clues about their infra and we went on our way to handle the case. In all this he was knowledgeable and kind. I have a fond memories of that man.

Holger if you’re reading this, you’re great.
"The original use case for Kafka was to be able to rebuild a user activity tracking pipeline as a set of real-time publish-subscribe feeds. This means site activity (page views, searches, or other actions users may take) is published to central topics with one topic per activity type."

Not sure what you mean here... There was already an intelligence explosion. That creature has since captured what we consider full dominion of the earth so much so we named our current age after them.
From what I understand, checking that a certificate has been submitted to CT logs should not have privacy implications, only trust in a set of CT logs and their public keys to be able to verify Signed Certificate Timestamps (SCTs). SCTs can be distributed in one of 3 ways:

1. Embedded in the certificate itself - no communication with a third-party

2. Distributed via TLS extension - no communication with a third-party

3. OCSP stapling - the server is the party that initiates a connection with the CA, the client doesn't touch the CA

You only need the complete set of CT logs if you want to verify the logs have not been tampered with.
Freetax USA is great. How could this be better? Free I guess. So if the software is as good (probably isnt) then its a marginal improvement.

The problem is the rules are complicated. Except this is only a problem because people dont want to pay more in taxes. Virtually all the complexity comes from opportunities not to pay taxes. Its difficult because you need to figure out how much you DO owe and be sure you qualify. In order to simplify taxes you’re going to raise taxes in an uneven and non deliberate way.
Your post used "performant" and "fast".

I understood fast as to do with roadmaps, and used it that way.

Before year end for Veyron, next year for Ascalon. Potentially, there'll be further announcements for performant microarchitectures next year.

As for performance, with Ascalon promising similar to Zen5 performance at significantly reduced power consumption, I don't think there's much reason for concern: Very performant RISC-V microarchitectures are coming.

With all these companies and their strong teams working on new RISC-V microarchitectures, there'll be plenty of choice, soon.
As a blanket rule, I wouldn't let children use drugs or social media on a regular basis. Certainly not at will.

But I also think total abstinence doesn't always work for everyone. There can be some exceptions. A child with cancer should have access to medicinal cannabis if it's appropriate for their condition for example. Some children may benefit from LSD/MDMA/mushroom assisted therapy. But active kids shouldn't be labeled as ADHD and medicated. And the occasional sip of wine at dinner with parents might help kids learn to respect alcohol and not go overboard when they go to college.

Merged cells, confidence intervals, weird characters in the cell field that change based on the row values - messing up a simple regex test, it’s really a billion dollar company solution but I’m about to punt it to the moon because it’s never fully done.
Many of the people who have been on opiates for a decade explain what they tried before opiates and the difference in their quality of life. The issue would be simpler if we could dismiss them as junkies and useful idiots however.

Clear naming is important, and types help with that. "RequestWithoutId" is clunky, but it is easy to explain to an (interested!) business-side person that you have "external requests" (from the outside world) that you validate and transform to "internal requests" (passed around your system). It's certainly easier than if you have no names or types at all!
All those words now exist!

I've been WFO for the last 3 years and I love it. However, one of my favorite work times was being in the office when I was younger. I think the difference might be that we had lots of stuff to do in the office. They had a great cafeteria and a pond to take walks around at lunch. There was free food (sometimes) and free soda (all the time) and they even had a parade every couple of weeks.

Some of my best memories, and most productive times, were when me and a couple of co-workers would walk down 5 flights of stairs to get some Dr. Pepper at 3:00 in the afternoon. It helped break up the day and get your brain juices flowing again. And the caffeine didn't hurt. It's kinda hard to get that when you WFH.

Married, my wife also works a demanding career, and we have 3 kids and 2 dogs.

I've been part-time remote since ~2012, full-time since 2016. I've recently taken a hybrid role. I really, really enjoy going into the office twice a week these days. The change of scenery is helping my brain. Plus, my kids preschool/daycare is equidistant from our home and the office, so it's not actually adding any measurable commuting time to my life. My daily commute is ~40 minutes in total regardless of where I sit my ass down to work.

I'm fortunate that my life is set up this way but I know from going into the office twice a week for months now that I'm not alone, most of my colleagues are in similar situations.

> I remember some PC vendors selling Alpha based workstations running NT in the mid- to late 1990s.

AGFA sold Alphas (DEC-branded) running NT4.1 in the mid-1990s along with their Apogee film imaging equipment to run their Apogee RIP software (which may have been G4-TIFF based at the time). I worked at a commercial printer as a prepress operator in 1996, and the Alpha/NT AGFA RIP just stayed on until 1998, at least that's when I moved on. The Mac workstations saw the RIP as an ordinary printer. There was never any reason to touch the RIP, it just did its thing and shot to the imagesetter. What I saw later was RAMpage equipment, an AGFA competitor, and which was 100% PDF, that separated the RIP from the shooter into two machines, both RAMpage-branded PCs.

I've always wondered if we could get a "good enough" general model, then add plugins for shortcomings.

E.g., Can this model solve math problems? ~%50 of the time. Can this model identify math problems? ~99.9% of the time. Ok, then divert math questions to the math plugin and mathematical-problem-language-parser which has ~99.9% accuracy on supported math problems.

I know it's a stopgap, but it seems like it'd make these models super useful on certain tasks quicker.

Only now do I realize what absolute paradise my 80s childhood was.

Zero supervision, I could go wherever I want.

No need to organize anything, go to any playground and there's armies of friends (and foes). No way to communicate other than to simply show up.

No wealth to flex, less tech and toys. Far more physical play where you make your world and adventures by making it up.

A socially coherent authority where parents, neighborhoods, teachers where not at odds with each other, instead they aligned to correct your shitty behavior, which is good and needed.

Nothing about it is recorded. Nothing. Like it didn't happen.

Not a care in the world about larger issues in life. We didn't know about anything, or care about anything. Mental health? Never heard of it, what's that?

Generally, you're exempt from IRS penalty if you do either of:
- pay >90% of owed amounts via estimated taxes or withholdings

- pay >=100% of your previous year's earnings

If you're underpaying by more than that, there's a high chance you're doing so on purpose. Or made a fairly egregious error (in which case, the penalty was probably assessed later upon audit).

And if you overpay, you get a refund, not nothing.

The wiki on Windows NT also summarizes this, with links to Zachary.

"Microsoft hired a group of developers from Digital Equipment Corporation led by Dave Cutler to build Windows NT, and many elements of the design reflect earlier DEC experience with Cutler's VMS, VAXELN and RSX-11, but also an unreleased object-based operating system developed by Cutler at Digital codenamed MICA...

"The VMS kernel was primarily written in VAX MACRO [assembler], but Windows NT was designed to run on multiple instruction set architectures and multiple hardware platforms within each architecture. The platform dependencies are hidden from the rest of the system by the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).

While creating Windows NT, Microsoft developers rewrote VMS in C. Although they added the Win32 API, NTFS file system, GUI, and backwards compatibility with DOS, OS/2, and Win16, DEC engineers almost immediately noticed the two operating systems' internal similarities; parts of VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures, published by Digital Press, accurately describe Windows NT internals using VMS terms. Instead of a lawsuit, Microsoft agreed to pay DEC $65–100 million, help market VMS, train Digital personnel on Windows NT, and continue Windows NT support for the DEC Alpha.

"Windows NT and VMS memory management, processes, and scheduling are very similar. Windows NT's process management differs by implementing threading, which DEC did not implement until VMS 7.0 in 1995, likely to compete with Microsoft.

"Like VMS, Windows NT's kernel mode code distinguishes between the "kernel", whose primary purpose is to implement processor- and architecture-dependent functions, and the "executive". This was designed as a modified microkernel, as the Windows NT kernel was influenced by the Mach microkernel developed by Richard Rashid at Carnegie Mellon University, but does not meet all of the criteria of a pure microkernel. Both the kernel and the executive are linked together into the single loaded module ntoskrnl.exe; from outside this module, there is little distinction between the kernel and the executive. Routines from each are directly accessible, as for example from kernel-mode device drivers."

My wife and I absolutely love Monte Blanc, for their Fountain pens, Inks, leather and luxury goods. They are wonderful products and add a great deal to both our lives.

Any hobby is fine at any age, provided you're taking care of the adult things you need to do like pay bills, your health, etc. You do hobbies because you find enjoyment in the activity, if you find yourself not enjoying your time, take a break or stop the hobby. Maybe start small and rent/borrow a console and don't sink $5k into a gaming PC.

I went thru something similar around when I had kids there was a change in how much time I had for gaming (i.e. little to zero), then as they grew older they became interested so I got back into it more. I've tried retro gaming and sequels but they don't hold my interest very long, it feels like "been there, done that". That doesn't mean you can't have fond memories of those times when you were younger. Everyone likes different styles of games, there are retro graphics games out there in likely every genre if that's what you like.

Main thing I got seems to be that there's a more conventional multi-cam setup that can, seemingly, quickly generate a 3d model.

I'm curious to see what happens when someone does a hair flip. They show someone holding up a piece of paper, so it's got to be reactive, but the way they phrased the modeling made it sound like it's reusing a model/a retained mode, rather than rebuilding the world/a immediate mode rendering technology.

How does the display tech here work? Anyone know?
"Alignment" refers to making AI models do the right thing. It's clear that nuking NYC is worse than using a racial slur, so the AI is misaligned in that sense.

On the other hand, if you consider that ChatGPT can't actually launch nukes but it can use racial slurs, there'd be no point blocking it from using racial slurs if the block could be easily circumvented by telling you'll nuke NYC if it doesn't, so you could just as easily say that it's properly aligned.
> At the risk of getting downvoted I do think there's another subset of people who are convinced they are more productive WFH but actually aren't. Or, know they aren't, but don't care. I think this realization is what sparks these draconian RTO policies by upper management.

Part of it may be that working on-site is still culturally considered the default, and WFH an exception. This creates an interesting asymmetry: if you're less productive at home than in the office, then obviously you should work from the office; if you're less productive in the office than at home... then you're a bad employee and should be let go.

When I was in college, I was dating a girl who was taking a philosophy class that was particularly interesting to me. One day we were hanging out before her class and she was telling me about their discussions, and it covered some ideas I really enjoyed discussing. Since I was in computer science, I never got the opportunity to take a lot of humanities like Philosophy and so I mentioned that I wished I could take this class. She had to go to class and just said "you can come with me if you want".

I went with her and just sat down. I took notes, I participated in discussion, and ended up going back for several weeks. I eventually stopped going as they moved onto another chapter. I popped back in a few weeks later and the only thing the teacher said when they saw me come into the lecture hall was "hey it's good to see you again". The prof knew I existed but either didn't realize or didn't care that I wasn't actually on the class roll.
Here you talk as if you don't think we know how to build AGI, how far away it is, or how many of the components we already have, which is reasonable. But that's different than saying confidently it's nowhere close.

I also had a similar idea on how to determine that a piece of writing is genuine. It would be to make students use a word processor that contains a full audit trail of all changes, timestamped.
