You’re right but this context is lacking from most citizen’s understanding of corn, and especially from ethanol marketing.

And in a way, isnt the way our farming is a national security tool kind of a secret? Like, “merchants of grain” is a niche book thats borderline conspiracy territory, and politicians dont talk about farmers as national security.

Funny how the same people that are against remote work have no issue with remote customers. I doubt google would be happy with customers showing up at their offices to make payments or check emails. They expect customers to trust them. But google wont trust their very own employees to work remotely.

In my view its time to out these dinosaurs out of their misery and move on to companies equipped for modern day and age work habits.

How does that actually get people to stop living there?

Suppose you can't get insurance and you can't get a mortgage without insurance. The house still exists. Its value will crash. But having crashed, now someone can afford to buy it without a loan. Meanwhile there is still a massive housing shortage, so somebody will.

And that's the thing that caused this, and the only way out of it. You have to build enough housing in the areas that aren't in the direct path of wildfires that nobody is being forced by those high prices into the housing that is.
So in other words perfect 100% sensitivity and specificity on the document level...

That's just not realistic at all. There are very few, if any tests like this in any field.

Except of course in single papers with suspicious fundamentals ;)
> People think that because they understand how things work in the US, they understand how things work in China.

So to your own point - Why should we believe what you say about China? Are you even Chinese? Maybe you’re a Chinese expert?

Given how few Americans properly understand how the American government functions I’m skeptical Americans understand the Chinese government and its nuance.

Its because politician's have allowed the methods for receiving signals from the people they're supposed to be representating to be jammed.

Look at social media, if there's a narrative that's unflattering someone will create a large number of bots and shout it down in a way that distorts reflected appraisal signals. You see the same on here with anything that mentions certain keywords like China, central planning, socialism, etc.

Representatives already spend most of their time beholden to their donors after passing through the money filter, they may have sworn an oath but the most common form of incompetency is doing nothing, and worse if they're hopelessly corrupt.
Has reddit ever had a good reputation in the tech world? I'd rather work a pornhub than reddit and would take a pay cut to work at all of the other big social media companies than reddit. The engineering team seems terrible looking at the website and all its iterations, you'd have to work for people who had hosted all of those repulsive subreddits, the company itself seems very unstable. Probably moot would be more successful IPOing 4chan.

Yup, this is where the hypocrisy of the return to office is loud and clear.

There is one side that is unambiguously pro-family, pro-environment, pro-church involvement, pro-bowling league, pro-parents in kids lives, pro-marriage, pro-divorced child raising. As in something for each and every side’s loud and clear broadcasted preferences.

The other is pro-people in seats, pro-commercial real estate, pro-commuting, pro-certain type of manager, pro-one type of extrovert who can’t find friends outside of work.

There are clear lines here on where the wfh benefits are how it aligns with many, many stated needs for the country from each party and various stakeholders.

Edit - going to use my soapbox since this got some traction:

I’ve led individuals in-person, and fully understand how different and sometimes less-than it is to do it fully online. I’m an engineer currently, but I speak MBA and fluent in leadership. Especially for inculcating interns/new hires into an org, in person is great.

But: the above seems to be adequately accounted for via learning org culture via Slack and quarterly off sites. And the remaining negative benefits of WFH + periodic flights + learning new leadership patterns via Zoom/Slack + gentrification of the rust belt and other cheap areas seem to, far and away, no doubt about it, pale in comparison to the extensive issues of how our country is coming apart at the seams due to do family finances, environmental issues, rust belt multi decade decay, labor issues, and general personhood. WFH’s benefits seem to significantly help solve all of these problems.

There’s some delusion that a reversion to the old ways is all it’ll take to fix what’s happening. But maybe spending more times in our communities, our families, our churches, our local lunch places in town vs Chipotle, is what is needed. Or just help commercial real estate and chad the manager instead.
That's what I think about too, AI competition. Which would suck because we'll probably die and also the AI will spend it's time preparing for wars and not being awesome. It would probably look like biological evolution, AI spawning new AI to beat other AIs and on and on.
This is a great way to get management up your ass and get fired.

End of the day, it’s all about the culture of your workplace. No one here really understands that. I’ve been interrupted more during remote work at some companies than when in person at others. It’s entirely culture dependent.

It's honestly not clear to me at this point to what degree you can mitigate risks associated with air travel and large gatherings. In late 2021 I finally caught COVID attending an international event with a vaccination and mask requirement. And then it turned out that, in spite of testing negative twice, my very slight cough was in fact COVID when I tested again a week later after attending another event.
For aviation at least I doubt that hydrogen is going to be viable due to issues with fuel volume, storage, handling, and embrittlement. I expect batteries to be used for short flights and carbon-neutral synthetic kerosene to be used for long flights.
>Imagine if ancient man, living in the woods, saw people of today living in cities. "It feels very uncomfortable seeing all of these people isolating themselves inside buildings".

A city is literally millions of people all wanting to live in the same place to be close to other people. I couldn't wait to move from the countryside to a city in order to be near more people like myself.

Communications technology is great, it helps me connect with even more people with common interests, as right now, and with my family while we are apart. It is in no way shape or form a substitute for being physically with people. There's something primally satisfying and emotionally anchoring about actually being together. That's why online discussions can so easily escalate into verbal knife fights and abuse. It's emotionally disconnected and I suspect the same will be true of VR.
Why are you talking about CS and nonexistent "problem solving related to binary"? By "knowing binary" we are not talking about knowing machine code instructions or the details of how they are executed, but literally knowing how to read and work with binary numbers (using bitwise operations). Which isn't necessary for problem-solving or implementing most algorithms.

(Yes, there are algorithms that use bitwise operations. They're technically expendable and it doesn't make you any less of a programmer not to know everything. Especially if you're using Python or JavaScript!)

I yearn for the day when Communists are seen the same way as (normal) people see Nazis. The European mass death counts are similar, without counting the Asian atrocities of the Great Leap Forward, Khmer Rouge, etc.

I could be wrong, but I think fired usually means "for cause". It makes a difference in unemployment claims and unemployment liability. For example, I believe if someone sexually harassed someone and is fired it doesn't count for unemployment liability on the part of the company.

My dad subscribed to one of the hobbyist computer magazines back in the 70s and 80s, I think it was Creative Computing. One summer, they printed out the BASIC source code of Colossal Cave, I don't remember which platform though. Probably a PET or a TI-99.

Our whole family took turns typing in the source code on our IBM PC XT, it took us a couple of weeks in our spare time, and with no one knowing how to type besides mom and dad. Dad showed me how to make the necessary tweaks to get it to run on our flavor of BASIC, and then we played it all summer.

I definitely felt something click into place, after that experience. I ended up doing the same thing years later on my Commodore 64, manually typing in the assembly code that they printed out in Compute!, so that I could play various homegrown games. You could subscribe to the magazine and get all the monthly featured programs on floppy disk, but that was for Rich People, not peasants like us.

Well, if the actual intent is to be left with a smaller number of more obedient people who'd bend over for the company and do things without asking questions, putting a bogus reason out is an effective way to accomplish the goal.
Google has already lost its prestige. It’s a code factory, that’s why it demands butts in the seats and formalised interview questions - to ensure homogeneity and obedience.

Hopefully, there will be companies that are in one camp or the other as well. That seems to be the only way to create a workplace that is beneficial to everyone.

> This keeps getting asked and it's baffling to me. Any programming language can delay evaluation by wrapping values in thunks where that makes sense, so it seems odd to me to give so much importance to whether values are evaluated strictly or delayed by default.

At least in Haskell laziness increases composability.

Given the paucity of Punic texts that we possess, I'd be surprised to learn that this script of which you speak is in any language other than Latin.

Most, if not all civilizations, practice child sacrifice to this day. It's called war, and it's practiced to such a ritualistic, feverish pitch that it may as well be a public festival glorifying death and national identity.

The "proof" that the Carthaginians, Canaanites, and Bronze Age Minoans practiced child sacrifice begs a misanthropic perspective from the start. While our modern society may think nothing of animals, and even reject the notion that they possess a soul, this was certainly not the case for the Etruscans or Canaanites. We have ample evidence, in the case of Etruria, that children who died prematurely were embalmed and buried with the remains of household pets, in the hope that the souls of both the animals and the children would be enticed to reincarnate in the presence of their living loved ones again. Being as close to residential districts as they were, these Carthaginian "tophets" served the same purpose--directing the souls of those who perished to return in new forms. The concept that these children were murdered to appease barbarous, foreign gods exposes a level of ignorance and anti-Semiticism that is unfortunately altogether too familiar in the modern-day.

As for the "Southern House of Knossos", the keyword here is "excarnation" and is an alternative method of mummification.

Boston has winters that will kill you. Even if you don't die or get frostbite, it's gonna be a bad time. Shelters are often not places to be.

By comparison in SF you can sleep outside all year round with minimum headaches, and tent / camper / van life is an option. Nationally, over time, the homeless will start moving towards places like that.

SF is also more of a cultural fit than Boston.
I just read the paper about LORA. The main idea is that you write the weights of each neural network as

W = W0 + B A

Where W0 is the trained model’s weights, which are kept fixed, and A and B are matrices but with a much much lower rank than the originals (say r = 4).

It has been shown (as mentioned in the lora paper that training for specific tasks results in low rank corrections, so this is what it is all about. I think that doing LoRa can be done locally.

Is not even that - this entire idea just misses the point entirely.

It doesn't matter if a very particular model $A$ under particular conditions can be identified with another particular model $C$. That can very easily be circumvented by using some other model (Vicuna, GPT-4, Claude, etc) in different conditions to fool the model $C$.
It's a constant race that will never be won and shouldn't even really be attempted.

One idea for determining if the content is generated by OpenAI that requires far less work is to for OpenAI to just make a database table of (document_id_hash, text_shingle_hash, shingle_weight_by_frequency) to make a system like old plagiarism detection. It's incredibly fast and simple, so uses far less compute than a big ML model to do an approximate but worse method.

Yes, yes, the API, other models, etc. But that was already a problem (see above).

> It's probably not obvious to most people who don't already know about it that their computer can handle numbers wrong.

0.1+0.2=0.30000000000004 is not obvious? When a floating point error happens, it’s quite plainly obvious. At that point, someone would look up a SO article like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/588004/is-floating-point... and learn about it. And from there, FPE mitigations.

Would you get to the mitigations faster if you knew binary? Sure, the first time you ever hit it. But that seems to be bottom of the barrel optimization, IMO.
Okay but I can think of 5 teams, all of whom showed this behavior? Even if it is "team by team" that is not the same as what Google seems to generalize about itself.
