30 minutes is not very useful. The good thing about pressure cooking is 1 hour is more or less equivalent to 2.5 hours in a regular stove.

Cook a stew for 2 hours in a pressure cooker and even the toughest meat will melt like butter in your mouth.
Google has 95% of search market, but none of the other examples have 95% of anything. What are Amazon, Apple, Microsoft’s monopolies? They all have substantial competitors across their various verticals.

Amazon: Walmart (goods), Netflix (media)

Microsoft: Apple (OS), Google, Amazon (enterprise compute)

Apple: Microsoft (O, services), Samsung (mobile), Google (mobile, services), Netflix (media)
Not really what I'm talking about here- that issue comes up when you want to combine multiple concrete error types in a single monomorphic call site, rather than when dealing with polymorphism.

Rust (and other languages that use something like `Result` for errors) handles the polymorphic case a bit better than Java, because you can already use the language's usual polymorphism support for the error type. But it's still not quite as smooth as first-class polymorphic checked exceptions would be, since the interface (or trait) and its callers have to do a bit more manual plumbing in some cases.

For example, a simple `impl Fn() -> T` can be instantiated with `T = Result<X, E>`, but only if the caller is just going to return the `T` directly- otherwise the error won't be propagated immediately. A slightly more annoying situation is when you have some `I: Iterator` that can fail- often you fall back to `I: Iterator<Item = Result<X, E>>`, which is not quite right, and expect the consumer to stop calling `next` if it gets an `Err`.

With polymorphic checked exceptions, you could use `I: Iterator<Item = X>`, with an additional annotation that `next` may fail with an `E`. Error-oblivious combinators like `map` or `fold` would continue to work directly with `X` values, but automatically propagate `E`s to the eventual caller that knows the concrete type of `I`.

(And again, crates like anyhow/thiserror don't really address this problem- they're solving a different issue entirely.)
It is all the other search engines that are crap. Plenty exist, they just suck.
Some people, yes, but not everyone.
For me, the hybrid schedule is the ideal situation. It allows me to save some commuting time and helps with isolation and detachment issues.
It’s also a tactic to do a mass layoff without doing a layoff. Return to office, people quit, no layoff politics or severance needed. I’ve even heard of companies doing this and then quietly backpedaling on return to office requirements once they’ve shed some staff.

Terrible strategy since the people who leave are likely to be more experienced or higher performers able to land remote jobs more easily. It’s also slimy.
LOL. That is funny.

The sad reality is that processed, sugary junk is the only thing that's affordable if you're poor and/or too depressed to buy yourself healthy food.

A pack of ramen noodle has abysmal nutritional value (in terms of micronutrients/vitamins) and costs 1/10 the cheapest meat or fresh vegetable.

I think so.

The entire reason I'm on Lemmy is because of Sync.
This is exactly it. When you see story after story from corporate news outlets, pushing the idea that work from home causes all these mental health issues for everyone, work from home is isolating, work from home is bad for the company. It’s all because there is a vested interest somewhere. When you understand their base motivations, you understand why certain stories are ran on the news and others are not. Their base motivations are always money.

For some organizations, they do care about money, and people which is a shocking thing and yes it can be done. If employees are making their performance requirements, and the choices left to the employee that seems like the best case to support people and profit. It’s when that choice is taken away from people that you know the pure motivation is a vested interest in commercial real estate somewhere.

Also, no amount of complaining online is going to change any of this. News outlets have armies of reporters and endless amounts of money to run story after story until the narrative becomes what they want it to be. So, stepping out of the negative mindset for just a minute, just go work somewhere else that’s remote.
I had a similar experience, got up sold on more frequent cleanings and they always found something to iterate on. I took their offer once to fill a “potential infection” and then recognized the pattern. They probably legitimately think the tooth may decay further - it probably won’t and you probably don’t need pre-emptive correction but they make more money and “fix” the problem for you so they may not see the ethical issue.

More likely that their LPs are the ones investing in both.
Hardware decoding is also an issue.. as in, not being used. Old webcams used to do h.264 encoding in hardware. Encoding has since now moved to the CPU which may or may not be fine.. the next issue becomes the codec chosen.. most stuff all has h.264 decoding in hardware.. but it's not being used anymore.. instead they're trying to use vp09 or h.265 or av1 which in many cases requires CPU-based software encoding and decoding.. so the fans rev up like turbines.

I feel certain the reason this is happening is because some middle-manager terrorist in a boardroom said "use this codec it won't require as much network data usage! value for the shareholder!" without asking first whether hardware encoding is beneficial even if there's a bit more network traffic with the older codecs.

Really burns me up. I do not want to use software encoding/decoding if I have hardware support.
Why not simply use a product that doesnt steal your meeting content?
These peaks cry out for demand management. This means exposing customers to actual prices. But how is a homeowner to respond to these? This seems like a great use case for home automation, where systems can be automatically turned up/down, on/off, in response to changes in prices, or even in response to forecasts of changes (so, for example, a home might be precooled to below normal before a large peak, then allowed to gradually warm during the peak with the A/C turned off.)

More complex structured contracts with electricity providers might also be a solution, where consumers pay for only a certain level of reliability in the supply, with the provider being able to throttle power in tight situations.

(Precooling could be extended to making ice. A tonne of ice is ~1 m^3, which isn't that much volume. Storing energy this way could be much cheaper than doing so with batteries.)

I've tried moving to Lemmy, but as you've said it's less populated, significantly less from what I've seen. Almost to its detriment.

What makes Reddit great is the niche smaller communities and the historical data they have (despite the search being awful). Lemmy sadly doesn't have this, small and even some big communities aren't there - wallstreetbets for example. Even subs with 100k+ users have low hundreds of members on Lemmy.
Sounds like anyone with a modicum of foresight should have been investing in power storage for when the grid breaks

I mean, you are adding more to my claim by stating it "exists due to SF real estate".

I never said that's the only reason it exists, but you know what, that might be the only reason it's so hyper localized to one place.

Let's look at the incentives:

Pretend you are a wealthy VC with tens of millions invested in San Francisco real estate.

You have been given billions by LPs to manage.

If I, as the person that has control over how this money can be distributed, only invest those billions in the bay area and bring all these high skilled workers to this one place I can actually impact the price of real estate and triple the tens of millions I already have invested. Once those high skill workers move here they will remain, even after the initial startup goes under because they will move to a different startup.

Now if all the VCs are doing this and they all control large multi billion dollar funds...
Used to use Notion. I haven't found any good open source alternatives either.

I was using Typora for a while, before Obsidian got better. It was just a tree of Markdown files and a _really_ nice Notion-like editor.

I had to write https://github.com/Cobertos/notion_export_enhancer to get my data out of notion in an actual nice tree-like structure.

I tried Obsidian again recently and their editor caught up to Typora's (and it was faster than the last time I used it). I'm trying to switch to it now, as the tree is more "file-y" than Typora (which removes blind spots for me, as I save PDFs and other stuff in my note tree).

I've resorted to writing my own though now. Notion, Typora, and Obsidian are great for one specific type of management (documents, markdown-like), but I think there's a higher level abstractions here.
Also, don't forget that a lot of replication would fundamentally involve going and collecting additional samples / observations / etc in the field area, which is often expensive, time consuming, and logistically difficult.

It's not just "can we replicate the analysis on sample X", but also "can we collect a sample similar to X and do we observe similar things in the vicinity" in many cases. That alone may require multiple seasons of rather expensive fieldwork.

Then you have tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in instrument time to pay to run various analysis which are needed in parallel with the field observations.

It's rarely the simple data analysis that's flawed and far more frequently subtle issues with everything else.

In most cases, rather than try to replicate, it's best to test something slightly different to build confidence in a given hypothesis about what's going on overall. That merits a separate paper and also serves a similar purpose.

E.g. don't test "can we observe the same thing at the same place?", and instead test "can we observe something similar/analogous at a different place / under different conditions?". That's the basis of a lot of replication work in geosciences. It's not considered replication, as it's a completely independent body of work, but it serves a similar purpose (and unlike replication studies, it's actually publishable).
I think most companies do not know. Productivity of knowledge workers is pretty hard to measure at a level more granular than an entire department.

In my anecdotal experience the leadership of organizations is mostly flying by feel on this issue. And, by nature of their position, they skew heavily towards extroverts who value lots of work interactions. So their gut feels more face to face contact is important and that’s what they mandate.
> Nobody, obviously. You cannot reproduce a result that hasn’t been published, .. The problem is not the publication of new discoveries, it’s the lack of incentives to confirm them once they’ve been published.

Your comment concerns post-publication peer-replication, yes?

If so, it's a different topic. The linked-to essay specifically proposes:

""Instead of sending out a manuscript to anonymous referees to read and review, preprints should be sent to other labs to actually replicate the findings. Once the key findings are replicated, the manuscript would be accepted and published.""

That's pre-publication peer-replication, and my comment was only meant to be interpreted in that light.

The fund isn't doing the investing in real estate, the individuals controlling the funds are. Anyway, that's why I said it's a conspiracy theory but the incentives line up like I mentioned in another comment.

But it's a conspiracy theory that doesn't even require a explicit coordination, just people acting in their own self interest.
I hope this goes viral and Zoom dies a quick death. They went too far with this and I hope they suffer the consequences.
Anecdotal but my otherwise-entirely-remote (small) company just finished a 5 day week of all-day in-person meetings and did an incredible amount of planning for the next ~year that would have otherwise taken at least a month if we tried it over video calls and didn't work at a pace that would have burned us out. It was not particularly exhausting as one would expect.
Why? Why would an employer care about studies? They have either seen a drop in productivity or they haven't. They couldn't care less about what other employers are experiencing.
1 and 2: Yes that's what we're doing (in partnership with Gameto, the startup commercializing this tech). See our recent preprints: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.27.534477v2 and https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.27.534479v2

3: I'm definitely excited about in vitro oogenesis and that's the direction I want to take this in the future. Right now, we're not able to reliably get the germ cells to do meiosis, so that's what I'm working on.
Because then you have the option to use less specialized software (not Zoom).
For the latter, I’m working on something like this with my app BeatScratch. (Though I’m currently picking it back up and updating to Dart 3 after a hiatus to work on what will be its new backend in place of Reddit…) The notation format is a bit limited but does have a novel way of choosing enharmonics (like F# vs. Gb) to maximize readability. https://beatscratch.io
Having had 4 root canals (even though not consuming much sugar), I got kinda obsessed over oral health and looked for options beyond brushing multiple times a day and flossing. In case anyone’s interested, here are some, ordered descendingly by perceived helpfulness:

- Vitamins K2 and D3 halted further decay it seems. For a few years I took only those and things plateaued mostly (but not entirely).

- Chewable digestive enzymes - not much research on this, but eg bromelain destroys biofilm, exposing pathogens to other interventions. This eliminated sensitive gums and remaining pains quickly for me.

- Oral probiotic chewables (Salivarius K12) every now and then reduced the occasional pain in root canals. I also slept better, probably because they reduced throat swelling too.

- Intranasal pathogen interventions (nasal rinse with NAC, tea tree oil etc) and L. Sakei colonization were actually meant to improve nasal breathing (they did), but also helped oral health.

- Organic silica (liquid MMST in my case, but chOSA should work too) - has made my enamel look more solid.

- Tooth paste (chewable actually) containing baking soda, reducing acidity. This helped reduce pain greatly when one of the root canals got inflamed.

Oh and really do take care of inflamed root canals. Those are a major health risk. Look into getting the roots cut off and sealed - it’s gruesome but could save the tooth with relatively low cost.
In most cases, the employees don't have a choice. They are told to do things in a certain way. If they try do do things any other way, they run into a brick wall. Just consider the whole bit about calling the other airport. When they finally found a manager who was willing to override policy, there was no answer. (Accuse them of lying if you want, but there is a good chance they were being honest.)

Oddly enough, it sounds like the run around was induced by software. Notice how they were intended to communicate by adding notes to a file. Presumably a system was put in place to manage the volume of requests they handle, only it didn't work properly or it isn't being used properly.

I see, Industrial Espionage is now the norm. The telephone company, in this case zoom, will simply automate it and resell it on the open market. Also what’s so cool about zoom? I used it once and it was utter crap. Was its popularity largely due to cargo culting novelty or did i genuinely miss something?

Most likely this year. The only ones left are AirPods, MagSafe battery pack I think, assuming iPhone gets it which is very likely given all the leaks.
You assume that this ain’t the will of the free market. People won’t pay for reliability.

You see this everywhere frankly. Reliability is only valuable to business customers. Customers will not pay for reliable appliances, reliable airlines, etc.
Zoom got a huge boost of non-commercial use. Everything from book clubs to AA meetings started Zoom sessions during COVID. These are very localized sort of meetups without too much out-of-area participation. Once restrictions on in-person meet ups were eased or obviated Zoom wasn't really offering anything special so usage dropped off.

Google Meet and Microsoft Teams also beefed up their offerings. My current gig is an Office 365 shop (or whatever the brand is) so it's all Microsoft cloud stuff. Meetings including broadcast type things like all-hands are all done via Teams which integrates directly into Outlook and ActiveDirectory. I know Google has equivalent integration with their offerings.

So Zoom in my experience doesn't quite offer anything all that unique to a lot of COVID era adopters. It completely makes sense their usage would drop back to their pre-COVID numbers. Remote work isn't dependent on Zoom nor does it offer the same integration as other platforms.

>Google has maintained this monopoly, the government alleges, not by making a better product, but by locking down everywhere that consumers might be able to find a different search engine option, and making sure they only see Google.

Google improves search every year. Internally they have data to back this up. Google doesn't lock down everywhere consumers can learn about a new browser. The most notable being the default search engine on Windows is Bing. I have also seen ads for other search engines and discussion about search engines on social media.It isn't like you say the word Bing on the internet and you get contacted by Google's lawyers with a C&D.

>To understand why this case makes sense, look no further than the experience of Neeva, a search engine whose quality was as high or higher than that of Google, but died a few months ago because it just couldn’t get access to customers.

Better technology does not necessarily mean that you will have the better business. There are other reasons that you can fail. The link about Neeva having better quality actually states the opposite: "Neeva ended up building a search engine they were proud of, a search engine that came close to beating Google both by Neeva’s internal metrics and in user studies."

There are hardly any $200k-$250k coder jobs in Europe (most coders make less than you're making now). I'd say maybe ultraspecialized people in things like HFT make that much, or perhaps to people at a FAANG in Switzerland. Other than that, I can't think of a place that would pay so much. Also, as you'd be coming down with a visa, which is inconvenient for the company, a chance of negotating such salary is probably around zero, unless one of the FAANGs in Switzerland loves you (they probably don't care about the visa hassles) - but hiring in FAANGs have been lackluster recently.

Also, bear in mind that most of the Western Europe countries have extortionate income taxes, you'd be lucky to keep half of that $200-$250k in some of the places.
The way humans communicate is ineffective. The most likely scenario is that there will be different systems that AGI integrates with to do the job. AGI itself will be a distributed system that scales horizontally so it will be a single huge entity with lots of interfaces.

I understand your point—the barrier to entry for development is somewhat higher for the ESP32 than for the Raspberry Pi.

Then again, I wouldn't say that it is way more difficult, and I would wager that most of those who have the skills to build the brain of an electric scooter with a Pi 4 could learn how to port their application over to the ESP32 platform within at most a week. Even if you went with a more pessimistic estimate than that, the enormous price difference between the two boards will always make up for the cost of engineering at scale.

Consider a few other advantages of using the ESP32 here: faster replacement times of faulty hardware, and a way smaller attack surface. How much do you want to bet that those Pi 4s have "root" set as their username and password?

This. I've been going back to the office three days a week and it has been much better for my mental health. I thought it was just being alone but when my husband started working from it didn't really get much better. I am enjoying the 30 minute commute to listen to my podcasts. Two months into this schedule and I just feel better.

Five days in the office would probably grind me down but 3 has been a great hybrid for me.
