Integrating AI Models into Zulip Chatbots Using FastAPI: Part 2
> It seems like people have entered this weird behavior where they follow guidance blindly.

And people watch too many police procedurals (tv shows). The cop you're talking to only has one job: gather evidence. It's not his job to determine your guilt or innocence or whether the evidence rises to the level where the DA will file charges. Telling him something that can exonerate you does nothing for you. Your lawyer needs to make sure that evidence is available to the DA (if you want to avoid charges being filed) or the jury, if it gets that far.

> How can giving the police information that can exonerate you always be a bad idea?

Hearsay. If you hear somebody say they committed a crime, it's not the same as witnessing them commit the crime. Hearsay is generally inadmissible as evidence. It goes the same way with what you told the police. The cop you're talking to hasn't witnessed anything. He can only repeat what you've said, which is inadmissible.
They use N-tier architecture and FastAPI to build a scalable Zulip bot that can retrieve messages, links, and images from Zulip

Most important thing. A lot of people claim to have a gluten allergy. They have blood tests for that. As far as we are concerned, in humans, gluten is not bad unless you have the allergy. If you think wheat is causing you problems the blood test is cheap and will tell you what you need to know.

I am convinced otherwise people are mixing up cause and effect. Cutting out gluten from your life also cuts out a sizeable source of calories. Not overeating, weight loss, etc are all associated with lower inflammatory states. This would certainly explain the ambiguous "I feel better" from most people who claim removing gluten fixed their problems.
The best insight in the article is actually this:

> cheaper real estate presents an opportunity for employers with vision

On top of any deterioration in office rents, companies need way less space than they used to since people are working from home many days. This opens up many possibilities that will IMO keep offices in prime markets filled:

-companies take more space per person in office for same cost, providing desks

-companies that couldn’t afford prime markets move in and use them as mainly collaboration spaces (“let’s all work out of Manhattan next week while we finish this project”)

-companies downsize in prime markets but reorient toward specific events - brainstorming, project closings, strategy retreats, get to know each other, cross department workshopping etc etc
> 1. Pipefail is a bashism, and doesn't exist on Ubuntu's /bin/sh or Busybox /bin/sh (common on embedded Linux systems)

I wasn't suggesting for a generic posix shell. It's explicitly for bash.

If you're going to dumb down to pure posix, it's even more painful as you can't even have local function variables.

> 2. Pipefail invalidates some common shell patterns like "grep _something_ | xargs -r CMD".

That type of situation is the exception, not the rule. The more common situation is "foo some-input.txt | bar" and you want it to fail if foo fails.

> Pipefail is nice in some circumstances for sure. But it's probably not great advice to automatically copypasta into the top of every shell-script.

I'd much rather have that type of failure than an inadvertent continuation of a script when something early in a pipeline failed.
That's the opposite of me: I take twice daily walks when working from home because I prioritize living somewhere I like and can walk. Returning to the office means eating worse food for me (eating out) and spending more time in a vehicle versus walking.
I have worked in all of 1,3,4,20-35 office rooms and home office.

I don't think single person rooms are necessary (but better), but open office is definitely not grate and without noise canceling headphones completely unbearable.

With rooms with small number of people (2 or much worse 4) it also depends _a massive lot_ on the layout. But also the other person, i.e. do they constantly click their pens, do they interrupt you all the time, do they have ad-hoc meetings with other people at their desk etc. etc. The problem is such factors are hard to "control"/estimate/plan with.

Through similar considerations apply to home office too, i.e. people need room in their home which can become office space. E.g. working in you bedroom comes with a huge number of problem, which can be overcome, sometimes, but it's IMHO not as simple as "just" having a proper desk and chair.
Well, yes, until the stuff which has to be delivered by the people sucked in to do support stuff starts lagging and missing deadlines. Then, suddenly, lots of people start being really unhappy (usually at the expenses of the people who were helping).

If the oncalls don't have the knowledge to solve the issues they encounter, they need to escalate them and somebody needs to put more time in developing a more comprehensive knowledge base for them to reference, not just "steal" time from other company functions.

No, it wouldn't mean that. It would only mean that entities who verify the zero knowledge proofs do not learn anything about the data except that it satisfies the proved property.

It is not the point that replica behaves "perfectly same", the issue is that they are not period accurate. Even it is a perfectly

But also keep in mind that there is no such a thing as a "digital circuit" in physical world, because there some analog effects at work in any digital circuit. If it were not true, the would not have been hardware incompatabilities seen even in moderrn systems, which often happen due timing/delay or noise issues. WRT to retro tech, in for example Apple-I modern 74hct/act chips would not often work compared to more humble 74ls chips. There are also interesting temperature-dependent effects in NMOS 6502 (some undocumented instructions are executed differently) which have non-digital reasons and cannot be reproduced.

Emulators are a lot easier btw to write than a VHDL or verilog spec and put it to actual hardware and debug etc, due to having already so many existing open source code for emulators, processors etc.

My point is different though - there is no way to make new Commodore 64 out of existing components. What you will get is a faithful replica with zero historic importance. For some it does not matter, but I still believe that even these people make a majority, the resulting product is not C64 and should not be called such.

I think some of the negativity towards identity is that it’s usually not something that can be merited as your doing and not usually relevant.

> you have no right for your opinion on it to be considered valid. Period.

That is so wrong it is actually dangerous. Do I need to understand how a nuclear bomb works for my opinion on it to be considered valid? Obviously not. I only need to understand the consequences of it. It does not matter at all how it works, if I am against the fact that it will kill a whole lot of people.

> Invalid opinions do harm to democracy and endanger our way of life.

And engineers have done much, much more to endanger most living animals (including humans) than authors and artists: technology is the reason for the mass extinction we are currently living, and the problems that are coming with climate change. Maybe it's important to start thinking about the consequences of what you do, not only the technicalities of how you do it. And maybe it's high time you start listening to people who are able to think about the consequences of what you do (maybe they understand that better than you do, ever thought of that?), even if they don't know how to do it.
I was responding to the comparison being offered. The reality is there are few companies that offer individual offices and a lot of real estate that exists for open offices. It's not a false dichotomy because by-and-large it is the dichotomy. The cube farms from 1990 were just converted to open offices by removing the barriers. To be honest, in my career in tech, I've never even seen a closed-office setup.

>My vaguely populist take is that the pandemic, WFH/remote and hybrid gave the mass white collar class a taste of what the C-suite has had for years.. flexibility.

Exactly. I've been working 100% from home since 2017 (3 years before covid). I'd rather take a 50% paycut than go back to the office.

Don't get me wrong. I did enjoy my life when I lived 15 min walk /5 min on a bike, from my job in a city. Before I got that job and I had to commute for 20 min I enjoyed it too.

But WFH beats that by a mile. I can live wherever I want (where cost of living is a lot cheaper than central London). I can just go down to my kitchen and make myself proper food any time (although I still miss certain of my favourite restaurants). And most importantly, I get a lot more time to myself and I'm much more effective at my work.

There is no chance in hell people like me will "go back to the office". Furthermore, companies that recognised the benefits early are reaping the benefits. Even just one. Having an order of magnitude larger talent pool by not limiting themselves to people from one place.

In today's marker that is characterised by permanent skilled labour shortage I can't imagine stupidest way to shoot ones company in the foot than trying to force people to "get back to the office".
Hell is freezing over because holy crap I agree with Megan McArdle.

Pre-pandemic office life was pretty crummy: you had crowded, noisy open-plan spaces. Most employees sat at their desk, put on their headphones, and quietly plodded away until quitting time - leaving their desks not to collaborate but to service their basic biological needs.

Giving people quiet, private spaces that they can personalize would take much of the sting out of returning to the office.
Most people meaning most people who have an informed opinion, because the evidence (archaeological, genetic, etc.) is so ridiculously in favor of the out of Africa theory. You have to be at the denial level of “evolution is just a theory” to think otherwise.
Then don't do it?

Or, if you do it, do it privately and don't share it on the internet?

I'm not sure why this is a difficult idea; if asking for something and getting permission to do it is so difficult that 'would just not work. Publishers would never opt-in to it'

...then, it seems really obvious that even if you want to do it, technically can do it and you could maybe make a legal argument to doing it doesn't violate any laws...

...why would you do it? Why would you post about doing it?

Come on, that's literally being a selfish dick; spitting in people's faces and waving a 'too bad, you can't sue me' flag.

There are so many things, so many mannnny things that you could work on, why would you choose to pick something that you knew would upset people and you knew you wouldn't get permission to do if you asked?

That’s the benefit of having your own office — you can make it comfortable.

In mine I have music playing, I have a guitar for when I need to stop thinking about a problem, I have a bookshelf of books I love, I have a plant I care for, I have my own whiteboard, I have artwork, I have a balance board, and (fortunately) I have an amazing view. When I need a break, I can close my door to read, watch something, call a friend, or take a nap.

Now I don’t find myself watching videos, napping, or playing guitar all that often, but I don’t when I’m working from home either.
I see this kind of negativity all the time, usually over climate change and environmental destruction. Those things definitely can impact the human population. They can even end our current civilization as we know it, which is somewhat fragile. But humans will survive, we’re extremely adaptable and hard to exterminate. We live in every terrestrial biome.

There are two things that could actually end us. One is a celestial disaster powerful enough to sterilize the terrestrial part of the planet. That’s very unlikely, but not imposible. The other is we replace ourselves with a competing organism, either biological or mechanical that’s not human, doesn’t need us, but is so much better than us at life that we can’t compete. Like general AI with a physical presence, or a genetically or cyberneticly modified super-human that lacks humanity, that we wouldn’t consider human. Those are highly possible scenarios over the next 200 years.

I'd say it solves it passably, in the simplest and most minimalistic way possible to still call them packages, technically.

I question how one gets here, nay, the 'problem' we're solving.

Presumably there's config management involved already capable of shipping bits. ie: the repo definitions to find these hackjob packages, or deliver them directly.

If this is what you're willing to invest, go Slackware at it - use a tarball. You aren't gaining anything notable by throwing an archive at a packaging format.

The meta that FPM ignores is what provides packages their value! If changelogs were at least a part of it, I'd be a bit more accepting.

Otherwise, I see it mainly as misappropriation. Best case, naive and well served. Worst case, giving the impression of better distribution than actually exists

An organization that does packages, but leaves this as the answer, fails itself and the members. Over 90% of the purpose is dutifully ignored/not standardized
I'll take your word for it. Still doesn't address the logical fallacy in the first place.
As any other company operating legally, we have to respect the local legislation, which is what happened in this case. The case also shows that our encryption works as intended - we were not able to share any of the user's data stored encrypted on our servers (email content, attachments, etc.), because we don't have access to it ourselves.

Note also, that the case pertains to Proton Mail, and not Proton VPN. Proton Mail is considered to be a communication service, and in most countries (including Switzerland), communication services are regulated to some extent. The treatment of VPNs is different. There are no Swiss laws compelling us to log IP addresses, personal identifiers, traffic or browsing history, as proven in a 2019 legal case (we were not able to provide the requested information because we don't keep any: https://protonvpn.com/blog/transparency-report/).
We lack a lot of the things that we use daily.
There's always someone who's willing to work regardless of WFH policy. What would probably happen is that companies are lowering their standards of hiring.
Of course the problem with "strictly necessary" is that it doesn't mean what the words mean. Almost nothing is strictly necessary to just serve content when a URL is accessed, so it has been made quite intentionally super murky. Beyond a session id, they're not even strictly necessary for serving content to logged in users, so there needs to be a place for people to agree and/or manager their cookie settings as part of their user settings, but user preferences, localStorage, etc. are still not strictly necessary to serve login-locked content on a URL.
Oh!! That makes a ton of sense now, I feel dumb for not thinking about that since I was just doing some config changes for Docker services running in my home server. I realized I couldn’t access it from another machine because the Dockerfile didn’t have ports forwarded appropriately. Thank you very much!
> People who like WFH will never want to return to the office unless perhaps the office is a 5 minute walk from home

At my current job, there's something ironic about that. The people who never come back to the office despite being allowed to are also the people who live the closest to the office. (We have a big office that allows people to come back but is totally optional. Hotel desks for the entire office basically.) I asked one of them why he doesn't come in and he told me, "The reason I moved so close to the office in the first place is so I can minimize my commute. Now that I don't have to, why would I do the commute at all?"

I think some people are just completely dead set against commuting or even working from an office. Another coworker told me, "Do you know how great this is? I can do my laundry in between meetings."

From my experience, my employer's current situation is probably the most accommodating policy. If you want to work in an office, you can. If you don't, you don't have to. I do have coworkers who are actually suffering a bit from lack of interaction with other people but I think those people are starting to trickle back into the office for no other reason than for the socialization and interaction.
The productivity loss for working in open plan work spaces is 15%-20%. Compare the cost of space vs hiring 20% more employees.
It's not the commute that stops me- it's the "being on". At home I don't have to dress a certain way, sit a certain way, eat a certain way, etc

At home I'm either working or not working. I don't have to wear my public face. Wearing a public face is, if not tiring, at least irritating, like a mild itch you're not allowed to scratch, even though you could, but you shouldn't.
