Make them move abroad. [1]

I kind of slacked off when I was in post secondary school, I didn't go to "classe prépa" but did a DUT because I was bored of studies, still ended up afterwards in an engineering school after my DUT because my parents kind of pushed me to contest for an entry. I ended up even more bored, fell in love with a girl I met that was living in another country, dropped from the engineering school after the first year, moved abroad to join her, applied there for a job, got it at first interview. Being motivated in a work environment (compared to a more meaningless to me educationnal one), I quickly climbed the echelons to be considered an "engineer" in the industry meaning, without having an actual engineering degree. I did so during the few years it takes someone to finish engineering/grandes écoles and find an actual job in France.

I learned that in many places outside of France having a few years more work experience and verifiable credentials is actually more valuable than a nice degree when applying for a job being 25 and that at 35 nobody cares anymore what degree you got in the first place.

[1] I am taking the assumption that your kids will or have already obtained french nationality and a european passport.
I kind of prefer going in to the office. I like talking to people around the water cooler and whatnot. BUT, remote work has definitely allowed me more opportunity than I would have otherwise based on where I live.

I can see how the choice thing would sway people. Maybe if going into the office, you still had the flexibility to go run errands or whatever.
Bad use of statistics.

42% of companies seeing more attrition than expected doesn't really mean "worse than we thought". But the author is in the business of selling pro-WFH consulting, so the facts don't really matter.
For all of the "what will this mean if true" posts; this is a foundational technology that will produce other technologies and advancements we can't yet determine. If it's able to enhance current quantum computer's efficiencies, power, and reliability, by a magnitude, that in and of itself would catapult new technology discoveries in other areas which would likely create a self-reinforcing feedback loop of advancement.

It's not just about the trains or the chips, it's about the problem solving potential this material has by enhancing currently difficult to build and contain technologies.

What if we discover that a room temperature superconductor in a ceramic form is necessary for telepathic communication via prefrontal cortex plates? Sci-fi, but the point is we can't really know what will come of it especially when we're talking about problem solving machines that go far beyond the human brains capacity for problem recognition.
Not if 2 magnets are flipped. Over just one magnet, the pyrolytic carbon (or LK-99) would slide off to the side. Over 4 magnets arranged correctly, it stays in the middle. This is described here: https://www.imagesco.com/magnetism/graphite-levitation-kit.h...

Some superconductors will float and stay over just one magnet, but it's a different story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_pinning - LK-99 is not of this type as far as I know.
Evertas Insurance | US-based REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.evertas.com/ | https://www.evertas.com/careers/

Evertas is the world's first cryptoasset insurance company. We're a Bermuda carrier, Lloyd's of London coverholder, and have been around for almost 6 years. (We raised a $15mm Series A in late 2022.) We write real policies which actually cover significant risk for clients, quantify premiums based on the effectiveness of deployed controls, and do professional services for clients to put better controls in place (or helping other insurance companies with underwriting and claims adjustments).

The best pitch for the company is: Join us to prevent the next SBF/FTX/3AC/Luna/Celsius... meltdown, by providing tools for the industry to police itself, provide meaningful risk transference, ensure best practices are documented and commercially required, and avoid uninformed and unproductive government regulatory retaliation instead of meaningful public/private beneficial governance -- and make a bunch of money for everyone while doing so.

(I'm Chief Security Officer; have been involved in crypto since the 1990s (blinded tokens), and I love insurance as a powerful tool to improve security across the industry. The rest of the team are also cryptocurrency and security OGs, with industry and institutional experience.)

We're looking to hire 1-2 Security Engineers. Primarily this is for underwriting and professional services in the cryptocurrency space, as well as research into risks in the space (and mitigations). A great thing about insurance is it's not "call in the middle of the night over a holiday with a crisis", but solving things prospectively for clients, but still having significant and meaningful impact.

We're open to security experts moving into cryptocurrency, or cryptocurrency experts moving into security, but obviously having interest in both is key (and expertise in both would be amazing). We highly value professionalism, integrity, and a problem-solving nature. Would be very interested in people who currently or recently worked at downsizing, technically excellent security teams in the crypto industry or in security-critical adjacent industries.

We have some product development plans as well, so a few pure developer roles are going to open up in Q4.

(We would be open to remote hires outside USA at some point; the complexity is handling nexus and HR and such with a small team. If you're an experienced contractor/consultant who can do corp to corp, that would be a lot easier for us now.)

Please apply through the form at https://www.evertas.com/careers/ (PLEASE NO RECRUITERS)
Did you look at the actual numbers? Twice as many whites were shot every year.
Pretty much just an accounting trick. From their prepared statement:

> During Q2, we recognized a $386 million unrealized pre-tax gain related to the
revaluation of our equity investments. Our GAAP net income may continue to see swings from
quarter-to-quarter due to the large size of equity stakes on our balance sheet

Take out the swing in equity valuation and their net income for the quarter was <$10 million.

have a hard time believing that selling (tens of?) thousands of programming reference books brought in 10-20x salaries

It’s a funny thought but this is a fantasy
I think they're discussing the lifetime of that heap data, not whether the data is heap allocated.
If you can find intelligence about which CRE will crater to zero and which will just be half of what it's now, you can arrange some in-kind swaps. But the ethics of this feels wrong.
The `Backend` interface is not that wide: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/48b1a1c533f16fc5df5269.... Mostly it just handles reading/writing various objects. You could very plausibly add IPFS support yourself!
I don't think anyone is trying to prevent people who prefer that from forming teams and even companies around the practice.

We're trying to prevent reverting to that being the mandatory norm for all workers though.

how exactly has physics been at an impasse? this trope is so common now. did you hear it from Weinstein? we've had a metric ton of mindblowing theory emerge in the past 30 years. do you even study physics?
Or you can have some automated benchmarks as part of your CI pipeline that will compare performance numbers to previous builds to know if there is a regression that ends up mattering.

An added benefit is that you can use it to do PGO and potentially eek out some more performance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile-guided_optimization
It sucks but you need to tell them up front you’re using credit and ask for a flat rate.
Neat!

I’m Platform Engineer with 8 years of total experience, worked both as a developer earlier in my career and later transitioned into site reliability engineer / platform engineer roles. This gives me unique perspective into managing systems at scale, by not just maintaining the infrastructure but also being able to dig into the code, understand what is going on and propose end to end solutions to the problem. Experienced in gradually converting existing infrastructure into full infrastructure as a code solutions which happens to be really helpful when an organization wants to undergo compliance certifications. Helping teams with untangling the cloud mess and making sense of existing infrastructure (most often also providing cost cuts due to better utilization of resources or better suited solutions).

Check out my blog under the resume link as well.

Open to any proposals.
When that happens I just use Lyft (I mean I usually start with Lyft and only use Uber when Lyft is surging). The drivers eventually cancel.
Yep! This is it. Managers associate willingness to RTO with loyalty, so the idea is very much to induce voluntary, mostly non-regrettable attrition.

They're playing with fire.
> So perhaps in the aggregate, WFH is resulting in less work being done

That's a pretty big leap.

Manufacturing and Durable Manufacturing had the biggest decreases and WFH isn't a thing in those sectors.

Atticus | Full-Time | Senior Product Manager & Engineering Manager | Remote (US only, LA offices)

Atticus’s goal is to help people in need across the US get disability benefits from the government. At any given time, 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today, most never get it.

Atticus makes it easy for any person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In just three years, we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits. We also help victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. So far, we’ve gotten thousands of people access to over $2B in life-changing aid, and we’re just getting started.

To help us realize our mission of helping those in need, we’re looking for a Senior Product Manager and an Engineering Manager to join our team.
Email any questions ben.abrahams@atticus.com.

See the job posting and apply directly here (Senior Product Manager, https://boards.greenhouse.io/atticus/jobs/5666287003) or (Engineering Manager, https://boards.greenhouse.io/atticus/jobs/5469304003)
We're also hiring for other roles, see all openings (here, https://www.atticus.com/careers).
Are you not advertising that it's 60% in-office? It seems surprising that multiple people would see that and go the whole way to an offer without self-selecting out.
"Japan has a higher GDP per capita than Alabama" is fake news. It's also confidently repeated by most LLMs. https://twitter.com/MatthewJBar/status/1681554646664634368

My assertion is that things like this will happen whenever LLMs are tuned to match political beliefs.

Paying more means spending more cash for the same or less output. I would include on the job training in that category.

Also paying people who are good at training extra money would be good. They are creating competition for themselves later on.

They also forgot the faction that is drilling holes in the ship to make money out of the sea water rushing in.
I reclaim 1.5 hours a day from work from home, so a mandated back to work would actually represent a 6 point pay cut on the day assuming I thought that through properly.

I don’t even have an egregious commute compared to others.

Never mind that all of a sudden I no longer need before and after daycare. I have a home gym and can acceptably exercise at lunch. I don’t have peer pressures to go out for lunch all the time to eat. Etc.

The amount of money changes just from working from home is huge.

Never mind that I get more done, and have way fewer interruptions. This whole “get back to the office” is transparently a middle management “I’m still relevant!” Move.
Windows has had built-in mDNS (and DNS-SD) support built-in since Windows 10, I wouldn't recommend using Bonjour on Windows today.

That said, the tricky part to Windows' mDNS support is that the APIs to work with it are WinRT-only and you'll need a WinRT projection of one sort or another to use them.
Could you share a link or site on how to find these positions? Or feel free to dm. Thanks.
I'd argue that you really don't need 1000+ H100s to test things out and make a viable product.

When I was at Rad AI we managed just fine. We took a big chunk of our seed round and used it to purchase our own cluster, which we setup at Colovore in Santa Clara. We had dozens, not hundreds, of GPUs and it set us back about half a million.

The one thing I can't stress enough- do not rent these machines. For the cost of renting a machine from AWS for 8 months you can own one of these machines and cover all of the datacenter costs- this basically makes it "free" from the eight month to three year mark. Once we decoupled our training from cloud prices we were able to do a lot more training and research. Maintenance of the machines is surprisingly easy, and they keep their value too since there's such a high demand for them.

I'd also argue that you don't need the H100s to get started. Most of our initial work was on much cheaper GPUs, with the A100s we purchased being reserved for training production models rapidly. What you need, and is far harder to get, is researchers who actually understand the models so they can improve the models themselves (rather than just compensating with more data and training). That was what really made the difference for Rad AI.
And realistic. Our perception of time is constantly varying IRL.
Why are squishy subjects like, "morale" and "onboarding" suddenly weighted so highly when middle managers might be laid off? These topics are often ignored, neglected, de-prioritized, or laughed at 90% of the time when the bottom line of the company is at stake.
> I see this as a net positive and a good first attempt to do this. I'm hoping future iterations do a better job of incentivizing creators to make games for public education.

My take is that a good first attempt would cast a larger net through proper incentives and/or less restrictions. Then as they iterate they can decide where to tighten up things. As is, this seems to be completely lacking any inspiration and actually demotivational
> This is extremely ordinary 'evidence'

Claims don't require special evidence whether they are extraordinary or not. "Extraordinary" claims can be proved with the same kind of evidence as other kinds of claims. Relativity was first tested by taking pictures of an eclipse, pretty pedestrian evidence relative to the cosmic scale of it's implications.

What is true is that, the higher the confidence of your prior belief, the less impact new evidence will have. So extraordinary claims simply require more evidence, because our prior is that they aren't true with fairly high confidence.
Just a thought: this tool looks cool, but I'd love to see a demo video of it in action as the hero item at the top of the page. Without that, it feels a little... theoretical and hand-wavy.
Exactly. I shouldn't "need to". It shouldn't be my responsibility to tell them "oh by the way, don't scam me today". That should be a given!
> In short, it was remote bricked, by giving it commands to rotate a bit. After successfully executing those commands - no further commands could be received, as now the antennas are not facing earth anymore.

I did this exact thing in the small last night - wanted to work on fixing a faulty switch, so my wife and I get on the intercom system on our landline phone so she can tell me when the correct breaker is off.

And of course, breaker #1 is the one that controls the intercom, severing our connection.
Haha yeah that's why I cringe whenever someone reassures me that Open Source software models are profitable, as "you can just make money from selling the consulting services for it!" Okay, but what are you incentivizing there, then?
> Note: this is an issue with sh/bash/fish/zsh, not shells in general. rc (...) has lists as a first-class data structure and none of the problems in the article happen; a list is a list, not a string split on whitespaces.

Not really, bash, fish and zsh all have arrays as "first-class data structures"; it's only really a problem if you really want to limit yourself to POSIX shell syntax.
My CC gives me cash back and provides cell phone insurance if I pay my cell bill with their card. If T-mobile pulls that on me, I'm gone.
I suggest trying out HamsterBase (HamsterBase is not open source).

1. It supports direct binding with SingleFile, enabling one-click web page saving. Because it saves in the browser, all other plugins will take effect.

2. It provides an open-source plugin https://github.com/hamsterbase/hamsterbase-highlighter, allowing you to annotate directly in the browser, and it automatically saves a snapshot of the web page when you annotate. When you visit the page again, it automatically displays the previous snapshots.

3. All data is stored on your local device, with both a docker version and a desktop version available. Different versions support P2P synchronization.

4. Provide full-text search function, which can search all the articles on the webpage.
So are you getting paid by SO or something? Are you one of these moderators everyone hates? Why are you so all over this?

SO has built up a toxic reputation over many years. And yet somehow, according to you it's false? Why don't you just let this one die? You can collect your paycheck from SO now; you've done your bit.
But the performance binning is a direct result of careful design that goes out of its way to ensure that a subset of failures can still lead to a workable/binnable products.

It's still a failure to produce a part that matches the full design.
Probably fine if they own their buildings? I can't imagine how they would adapt that quickly, but if it still concerned you you could hedge with brownfield developers or even REITs that don't own (whose costs would presumably plummet)? Not at all an expert.
Good. Let these dinosaurs burn their houses down while the smart companies allow flexibility. I’m tired of these psychological tactics of lying to employees about RTO decision making and making people feel like they’re not team players all of a sudden.
It’s accurate, but too direct. He would take much longer to get around to answering the question, or possibly never answer it at all and just talk about something else for 5 minutes.
I don't think this requires any special competency to be confident of. What you need to answer when reading a CV is a) is there any evidence of relevant work experience and education, and b) is the resume properly formatted and contains no obvious typos. Everything else requires a conversation (at least for me). Using ChatGPT for this is a waste of computing power.
Edibles don't work for me, I'm so sick of hearing about edibles as the "fix all" to health issues. I vape loose leaf cannabis, I'm also sick of people assuming everyone who "vapes" uses cartridges.

Grow the plant, cut and dry the plant, heat the plant & breathe it in. It's pretty simple.
It's not really different than using Git to work on the same branch. If you and the teammate commit to the same branch, then you'll need to resolve the divergence somehow, usually a merge or rebase, or choose to forcibly overwrite the other's changes.
The certificate is revoked, your browser must not be checking for revocation. Browser support for revocation is pretty poor, unfortunately.

I don't know anyone with a 20 minute commute- I'd be in the office every day if I had that. Actually I think the commute pain is the best single predictor of how people feel about going back to the office.
