I thought so too. I googled it and came up with the above quote but didn't provide the link.

Happy to be corrected if someone has a good source they can cite.

It is a better term overall and also lacks the baggage of being used colloquially to mean "aliens."
Embeddings did not really work well enough for me, let us say you are looking for numerical text, so for e,g get me AMD's revenue from March 2022.
The embedding representation needs to understand that March 2022 together is way more important than March alone, I often ended up with March 2021 or March 2018 as being closer because the text might have multiple terms containing 'revenue' or multiple 'march'...
Perhaps I could have improved it, but that did not seem like the right path to go down for accuracy..
This was way worse for e.g when I am looking for ECB statements, they can refer to an older date in their current report and it caused all sorts of trouble :). An initial fix was to basically mention March several times so that the search returns that... :)
Yes government should be held to the same standard. They should live in fear of the law, as many citizens do.
in 2021[1] a Supreme Court ruled that their drivers are employees (and not self-employed people), so I suspect the invoice shall be coming from the company. Perhaps that's also why HMRC is pursuing the VAT for the past year or two.

I remember a apartment where I live as student. First floor next to bus stop, west fasting windows. So not really that great to open. And the central ventilation itself was not that effective. Net result was 27C inside in mid winter...
I believe that was addressed in the original comment: "...improve quality of life for everyone."
In a similar vein, UPenn professor Angela Duckworth of "Grit" fame was caught misrepresenting statistics to embellish her claims a few years ago: https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/05/25/479172868/angela-.... Who knew psychology had such questionable science?

If you find it acceptable to act on your selfish behavior you should also find it acceptable that the company acts on its selfish behavior, and fires you for someone to works the same but produces more, no? Which is what actually happens.

This article seems to be writtten by someone who doesn't use circuit simulators in real life. As someone has mentioned, you need good models, but when your circuit simulator cannot simulate current sources or transistors is useless.
Are you sure you've got the right person here?

The only comment I posted on this entire post was the one[0] where I said: "Which also seems to be covered by the same privacy policy". I purposefully used the word "seems" because I'm not entirely sure whether that's true, and also included a link so people can check it out for themselves.

If you honestly consider this grifting and intentional misdirection, then I'd be interested to hear what you believe I'm trying to achieve here.

US academia isn't really funded by the foreign grad student tuitions. It's not even really funded by tuition, as tuition+fees is <30% of total US academia funding. Of course every organization wants to have more money and so they work on those revenue streams, but if all the money from the 5% students which are foreign suddenly disappeared (even ignoring the foreign students whose tuition gets funded by being TA/RA), that wouldn't be a crisis, it would just reduce the profits of the universities and have some administrators be extremely sad about less bonuses.

> The user doesn't care about how your URLs are structured.

This sounds like you're still thinking that REST is supposed to mean what you thought it meant before (and that it somehow has something to do with "how your URLs are structured").
Yes. 100%. Absolutely. Without a doubt.

It'd be nice to use some increases in efficiency and productivity to actually benefit something other than shareholder profits.
But not backed by VkFFT. The implication of the comment is that it would make FFTs on various backends easier if it was implemented on VkFFT in the first place. Not sure that's true though, as I don't know how much code the various backends share.

Edit: as an example that I experienced first-hand, coremltools, which converts PyTorch to CoreML models, only gained FFT support very recently. It's also not really a PyTorch backend but a PyTorch code converter, though, so wouldn't benefit at all from PyTorch's FFT being backed by VkFFT. Still, good example that one shouldn't take FFTs for granted.
Yeah.

I do think there are pitfalls to this though. There's a tendency to want to smooth over problems and mistakes and amplify successes, which also makes the story you are telling pretty boring and artificial.

Basically: Let me tell you a story of the time we tried to play golf. We went to the US Open and signed up with our fantastic team of engineers, it wasn't easy and our team had to work long hours to figure it out as we went but thanks to teamwork we struck hole in one every time. We're fantastic at golf, and the audience cheered for our amazing teamwork and leadership success, and Tiger Woods came forward from the crowd to shake our hands and was was very impressed with what we were doing in such short time.

Like this story had no downs, it's completely flat and omits any problems and greatly exaggerates the successes. It's also like not far off the median linkedin post about a project in progress.

It removes all the things that makes a story compelling. What were the problems? How were they overcome? What were the lessons learned?
Sure, I’m not trying to make the argument of the OP, just clarify it because I do think it warrants consideration.

Regarding the role of shame in the rise of fascism (and the NSDAP). I agree it played a role, but I would characterize that as an (all too successful) exploit of human psychology.

My opinion is that “shame” as a basic human emotion does perform an important function in our social fabric, and trying to inoculate ourselves against it en masse is not without its downsides.
> "if SteamOS usage from SteamDeck count as Linux Desktop"

SteamOS basically is a Linux Desktop. Steam Deck is just a hand-held form-factor PC with built-in Steam Controller, and SteamOS is basically just Valve's custom Arch Linux with KDE Plasma desktop and Steam "Big Picture" mode as "desktop" environments.

> "then so should Apple mobile devices."

No, they shouldn't, because Apple mobile devices don't run Linux, nor Steam.

The evidence given in the linked Axios article is a stronger justification for unlimited holidays and/or summer Fridays than anything else.

In some cases, this advice might apply to product manager (or whatnot) at the point they decide to push/ship a feature/product.

- Code does the thing and is at 90% polish
- *or 80%, 50%, etc. This is a quality issue. Off topic, IMO, as this is about completion, not quality or polish*
- Ship the feature to 3 enterprise clients boss promised for Q3.
- Now you are at the point this post is about.

At this point it's time to open your POV to understand again what the thing is about. What are the clients going to do with it? When? Who? What's the communication chain?

Now your job is to communicate. Understand who's involved. Listen to them. Communicate to them. Write a few emails well formed, high effort emails. Do presentations, live tutorials, assisted user sessions. Have goals in this space.

Within a "job," people can be very insulated from the brutality of the last 10%. It's possible (also comfortable, normative, etc) to read the paragraph above this one and say "not my job." That can apply to software, research and lots of other areas.

"Think outside the box" is usually presented in neutral ways that don't challenge us emotionally too much. That's a play version. The real box is our definition of the job, task, project, etc. Real, objective success is usually dependant on stuff outside this box. Success is when the client uses the software, likes it and gets benefit. Sales thanks you. Your boss is happy. Everyone gets a raise and they bring back pizza Tuesday.

An impossibly broad definition of success is emotionally impossible. It's too hard, too much failure, too little success, too much. Being so broad, it can also disconnect our alignment from the company's. Even in academia, the broadest possible betterment of science is not usually a workable POV.

So... the workaround is to expand and/or break out of the box at strategic points. Shipping is such a point. That allows you to have your (necessary) box but not totally neglect aspects outside of it.
I think that's exactly the issue. HMRC objects to them using the rules aimed at tour operators.
Is your issue with the ownership of property in general, or leasing the use of property to others?
Probably zero. The problem with current railguns is not that they have too much electrical resistance but that their barrel wear is much too high for practical use. Superconductors wouldn't solve that.

In any case countries that want to spend money on military research just do so, using the budget they allot to military R&D. There's no need to try and hide that you are researching railguns.

> If you were inclined to believe the covid lab leak theory you would also be inclined to jump on this and say "then the extreme storms are nonsense".

What does the "COVID lab leak theory" and the "belief" in it have to do with this? conflating these two does only one thing, it further polarises and politicises the already heavily polarised and politicised debate around (anthropogenic) "climate change". It is already nearly impossible to have an objective discussion on this subject without conflating it with other similarly polarised subjects so adding this trip wire does not improve things, at all.

Yea, I find it acceptable to be just as greedy about the middle class priorities as the 0,01% are about theirs.

What’s wrong is that you don’t benefit as much as them, and us workers outnumber them. I prioritise the quality of life of a larger quantity of people rather than the capital increase of a select few sociopaths.

"Squash" is a broad term referring to many kinds of fruits, including both summer (zucchini, courgette) and winter (Hubbard, acorn, spaghetti, butternut, pumpkin). It's related to cucumbers and loofahs. "Pumpkin" is a particular named variety of winter squash, which varies from region to region. In the USA, "pumpkin" usually refers to a round orange squash with relatively thin flesh and a range of sizes in which the larger ones are carved into "Jack-o-lanterns" in October and put on public display, and the smaller ones are cooked and combined with warm spices such as cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg and baked into pies, cakes, breads, puddings, and half-soy latte grandes. In other regions, pumkins are larger, thicker-flesh squashes of varying sizes and colours.

TL;DR all pumpkins are squash, but not all squash are pumpkins.

Which is a beautiful way to live life.

Until you quit your job and build some indie thing and try to make money and fuck, that’s difficult.

And you’re broke. And you worked really hard on this thing. Turns out ‘farming people for money’ = ‘paying rent’.

And you realise, shit man, if I make it a bit worse according to my ethics and taste, I’ll actually make money. And I won’t have to go and take some other job.

And I’ll be sad that this is how humans work, but it is how humans work, and am I going to change that or just tag along for the ride?
Yep, I think that's a very important point. Not every API has to conform to Fielding's view of REST or to have hypermedia/HATEOAS.

Sure. There are also strongly positively correlations between how rich your parents are and grades, scores on achievement tests, IQ, and career success.

Before making my earlier HN comment I had found the 2007 paper you cited, and noticed the comment "but there is little evidence of any historical trend in the relationship."

Thing is, I had also found "Investigating Core Assumptions of the “American Dream”: Historical
Changes in How Adolescents’ Socioeconomic Status, IQ, and GPA Are Related to Key Life Outcomes in Adulthood" from 2019, at https://web.s.ebscohost.com/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=0&... , which did find a difference - IQ was becoming a less relevant predictor:

] In a nutshell, the U.S. has faced dramatic socioeconomic changes during the last decades. The present findings suggest that for two birth cohorts—born in the early 1960s and in the early 1980s inequalities in educational, occupational, and health-related outcomes, which can be assumed to increase in later adulthood and old age, can be predicted by individual differences in adolescents’ IQ, GPA, and parental SES. The patterns of associations between life-outcomes and parental SES did not vary much, and that of IQ remained largely the same or varied inconsistently between cohorts. However, the observed increased predictive utility of GPA suggests that combined effects of social, economic, and labor-market changes may have increased stratification processes due to individual differences in GPA for adolescents belonging to the 1980s cohort.

This is for the US. They argue that the transition to a service/post-industrial economy combined with the increasing need for a college degree, increases the measure of GPA as a predictive value over intelligence.

It also comments the earlier "studies could not answer questions about whether predictive relations could generalize across cohorts who grew up in different socioeconomic environments."

FWIW, this study was pre-registered, at https://osf.io/hm5pt/ , so there's less chance of p-hacking.

Because of that 2019 paper, I restricted my search to only include papers published in the last few years.
