For point three, I strongly resonate with Amazon's Leadership Principle, "Disagree but Commit". I've never been a part of AWS. However, I've often witnessed situations where individuals, after disagreeing with a decision, hinder its success by continually complaining. I believe in a culture where one can disagree, but once a decision is made, everyone commits to its success.
That is quite a generalization, not every data warehouse / mart / workflow is architected in the exact same way.

Maybe not, but management does have outsized effects on culture which _can_ be a game-changer for trajectory.
Thanks for clarifying your position. I think I am a bit more informed now after having read it. Though I may not agree with the broad notion that Texas has of 'deregulation' (having lived in California through the Enron debacle), especially as that term is used dogmatically, I can't honestly say that I am knowledgeable enough about the specifics to make more than a broad critique. Unfortunately your politicians are doing you no favors amongst the critics with their rhetoric.
I had a light psychedelic experience on my first retreat, with very noticeable visual object patterns and cartoons appearing in the heathered shirt of the yogi sitting in front of me, during a couple different periods of holding a stable meditation state. I've never had anything like that happen except on cannabis edibles or classic psychedelics.

I would recommend people sit their first retreat at a more supportive and forgiving retreat center. The 10-day Goenka retreats seem to vary in quality and sometimes unnecessarily harsh from what I've read, I've not sat one personally. I don't like the idea of getting all instructions from video also, instead of all the great living teachers out there today.

I'd recommend IMS on the East Coast, and Spirit Rock on the West Coast. They have really great teachers and very supportive schedule and environment for beginners. Downside is it's more costly than a free retreat, but I found it to be very much worth it.
Decoupling? You want to eliminate trade between the world's two biggest economies?

This feels like economic policy from the 18th century. The decline of mercantilism and expansion of free trade ushered in modern global prosperity. Tariffs, protectionism, and trade wars still exist, but nothing like what you're suggesting. It's not just China's economy that would be affected - the developed world lives on cheap foreign goods, and any politician that suggests sacrificing that much quality of life for "security" wouldn't last long.

You could turn this around and ask why iterations after iterations the company didn't understand that the KPIs were not ideal and employees not happy with it ?

Put yourself in the same boat: if you had a team to manage, with the freedom to give them incentives, and they didn't have the effect you expected, you should be able to notice it and try something else.

That's great if the team is helpful and tells you exactly what's wrong, but you should also be able to evaluate how it's going and react accordingly, otherwise you're just asleep at the wheel.
They're not accusing you of a crime, though. They're pinning debt on you. It's not just a pedantic difference either, because it means it falls under an entirely different body of law for assumption of liability.

In my experience, it’s entirely possible to have a “Too many cooks spoil the soup” situation, as well.

I think any project has stages and architectural contexts. Each may or may not benefit from increased participation.

I personally believe that one of the reasons that Linus Torvalds’ projects work so well, is that he’s a 1000X architect and coder, and the parts he did alone, work well enough to form a substrate for the highly participatory parts that extend them.

If a 1X coder did the same, I suspect the same model would not work.
You can’t. The informal proof may not be very convincing but it’s that the torus has two circles that remain distinct no matter how you deform the space: the smaller and larger circles in this picture [1].

But on a sphere, every circle can be deformed to any other circle. If the torus were itself the deformation of a sphere, you’d be able to deform it the same way as the sphere to get one circle to the other.

Again though, the version of these objects that mathematicians study is formalized such that this is unambiguous.

Your assumption is correct. Time is non renewable and I instead focus on higher leverage efforts, such as donating my time to Congressional representatives and federal regulators who craft legislation or attempt enforcement actions (respectively). Do things that scale and all that jazz.

As long as it has DP alt-mode for HDMI, I'm happy. Unlike Lightning that doesn't do that, so they package a full h264 decoder into that HDMI adapter.

The USB 2 thing is probably like the Raspberry Pi 4: the SoC only supports 2.0. Older iPads and the Pi4 have a full USB 3.0 controller external to the SoC. Apple likes to re-use the previous year's SoC and no point doing USB 3.0 before. I could see the pro models doing 3.0 since it'll probably be a new SoC
Rust-style error handling works better though - similar to Go, but with the addition of enums such that the precise types of errors which may be encountered can be easily documented in the type system.

To add on to what dullcrisp said, which is all correct, even spheres with thickness are “the same as” spheres of zero thickness from the perspective of homotopy theory. “Sameness” here means homotopy equivalence [1]. In fact the thin sphere is a deformation retract [2] of the thick one. The deformation pushes each point of the thick sphere along radial lines towards the thin sphere. Being a deformation retract implies the two spaces are homotopy equivalent.

You say that but the financial barrier to entry for using Facetime and iMessage mean I have not once received spam. That's a real feature in the modern day.

Apple are by no means perfect but over pretty much every other service (shout out to Mastodon being too small to bother with I presume) I have used I have received spam.

Advocates of truly neutral carriers, open code, et cetera, et cetera, so on and so forth don't really have an answer to spam in my experience. I would say that almost no one has an answer to spam except seemingly Apple. And while their answer sucks it is an answer.

In the modern world telecommunications are a requirement to participate in society. I don't think it's unreasonable to have spam be your number one concern. It's a waste of my existence even though I ignore all of it and take appropriate pro social actions by using whatever kind of report I have available to me. There are people who fall for the scams (I have met and even know a few) and they have lost heaps of money.

Apple would be destroying a huge amount of value for their users were they to open up their service more easily to spammers. It's not our job to give up our lives so someone's theoretical version of a better society can exist.

I say this with every bit of code I have ever published being GPL3 and having advocated it in every single project I have ever worked on. But I have never built a telecommunications platform.

> The human brain is far less rational than we tend to believe. Recent research indicates that we hallucinate our world

All the more reason, to not take reason for granted.

> Senior meditators spend vast amounts of time examining their personal reality

They do, and my concern is they contribute no new insights, especially given the vast investments of time.

> Out of body experiences can be had by any person who spends enough time meditating

These are serious hallucinations and I am alarmed by how they are brushed aside. Most meditators think they are astral projecting. This is not examination or insight. This is delusional.
If C4 is new to you too, I recommend their intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2-rSnhpw0g.

It feels like a very light ruleset over what we would do naturally when explaining a system to another engineer. That's great.

Some of the ideas that stood out were:

1. Allow flexibility in the notation (shapes and color) as long as the abstractions are good.

2. When drawing arrows, make them unidirectional to show the main intent.

3. Hide details to express the main story (@ 27min in the video)

4. Don't just give names to components. Give short descriptions too.

5. Don't document the lowest levels. Code is better here.
> The banks do not have sufficient incentive to improve their identification methods

On the contrary, they stand to risk 100% of the loaned money. What more could be at risk. Also the fair credit reporting act has pretty strict requirements for what a bank or credit agency should do when you’ve told them the debt is fraudulent, returning you to whole eventual.

What would be required to fix false identity frauds? Is that more or less tolerable for society than X% of people dealing with a stolen identity. What about people who have some problematic history (ran away from home, prior homeless, etc)? How would strict requirements impact them?

Really I guess my question. Oxygen_crisis, why do you believe identity theft is actually a problem that needs solving?

You are describing a situation where management has failed. No amount of better practices can help in a situation where your management chain cannot evaluate your work correctly.

I think like 85% of the pain points could be solved by (a) allowing statements to start with a `from` clause, (b) some kind of shorthand for field sets, and (c) having some kind of syntax for returning some things as nested rows/objects. Without thinking deeply at all:

from users u join purchases p on p.user_id = u.id
select u{defaults}, u[p{defaults} as purchases]
limit 100 [purchases: 10]

returning rows that make `purchases` into a row-nested collection of up to 10 items instead of creating that many more overall rows and repeating the same user info multiple times.
The Mac hardware and macOS "do what you want knobs" are actually pretty open as far as computer hardware goes. Hell, Apple even made part of the process of booting custom kernels easier for the Asahi team after the posted about it.

The app store / Office admin stuff. When I was dealing with this stuff 2 years ago, it was insanely difficult to deploy a web add-in internally (something involving the "Microsoft 365 admin center"), let alone deploy it to customers (gotta get approval to deploy it in the special Office app store, and hope+pray that your customers' IT departments don't block that).

Compare to VSTO, where IIRC installation just involves editing a registry value to let Office know where your add-in can be found on disk.

No. Individual snapshots are a matter of kilobytes; desktop environments write considerably more.

Not likely. A snapshot just marks the most recently written block and prevents previous blocks from being altered. (More or less.) Since ZFS is copy on write, any changes to files will involve the same writes and some previously written data will not be deleted.
I've found that LLMs serve best as fuzzy searchers. It may be hard to ask Google the right questions, but this is where LLMs shine. Googling any form of "I remember hearing about a study that Google did awhile back about new hires and they found that if a GPA was above 3.0 that there was no difference. Can you link me that study? Was there any followup?" is quite difficult and you'll likely end up with tons of links about questions of minimum GPA for getting a job at Google, but Bard will give you information about "Laszlo Bock" and his book, when enables more refined Googling. Simple "Laszlo Bock Google GPA" now provides a useful search.

This is where I find LLMs shine, when I'm struggling to cite the correct incantation to Google to filter our all the junk that has been SEO optimized. (foreshadowing LLM search optimization...)

What's also interesting is I tried this exact sentence in multiple LLMs.

- ChatGPT gives me the standard knowledge limit response despite all the results for our refined search being June 2013.

- Bard didn't need any coaxing (a bit surprising).

- Hugging Face Chat also gave me Bock and Project Oxygen and Project Aristotle (Bard didn't have either). HuggingFace is providing by far the best result.

- Claude did not find the study but at least suggested some others.

- LLaMa doesn't seem to be able to find it either, but suggests that Google has done studies and gives some names.

sheepscreek is exactly right about the fine tuning for correctness degrading results. There is an interesting thing going on right now, as alignment is strangely not being recognized as also disalignment. You cannot have one without the other. There is always a trade since you are shifting the probability distribution. But I think unfortunately it is not only unpopular to research this area, but the methods needed would involve quite unpopular networks and require a deep discussion of probability and distributions, which currently appears to be resulting in rejection from top conferences if my Twitter feed and personal experience are any indication. The conferencing system is so noisy at this point that I personally feel that it is worse than were it to not exist. Much like my ChatGPT result for the question.

It is also worth mentioning that the tuning process being performed may have additional consequences which aren't being openly discussed or addressed, despite it being in the name. Tuning for human preference is not exactly tuning for factual knowledge, but the preferred results that humans like. While tuning may include pressure to increase factual output one needs to also be highly aware that the bias we're introducing to these models is that which specifically hacks the evaluation metric (i.e. us humans). This has the ability to make LLMs worse off than before, as they become more likely to be convincing when they return incorrect information, even if the average factual accuracy is higher. Need to be highly aware of both Simpson's and Berkson's paradoxes, as they deal with poor evaluation due to the way in which data (results) are aggregated. We are literally tuning through Goodhart's Law.
Nah, changes are COW so most snapshots are tiny.
> I wrote here years ago that it is in every countries best interest to do the following:

Been saying the same thing myself. Every major company should own their own tech, media, etc stack. They should ban all competitors until they have their own homegrown champion. When india banned tiktok, I praised it thinking india will also ban facebook, google, twitter, etc in order to establish their own social media and tech ecosystem. Instead, the indian leadership just handed their social media space to facebook. China talked big about developing their own operating system, but seems to have limited it only to the public sector while microsoft, google and apple dominate the private sector. And lets not get started with the EU. Even though it's not a country, but the lack of participation by any european country in any major tech development of the past few decades is embarrassing.

AI is going to eliminate way more jobs than anyone realizes
Hold on tight! Artificial intelligence (AI) is about to shake things up big time. Reports suggest that AI could disrupt over 300 million jobs worldwide, with 12 million Americans switching careers by 2030. This high-tech revolution could bring economic opportunities and improved productivity, but only if we're prepared. The growth of AI is happening faster than we thought. The World Economic Forum predicts 83 million jobs gone in the next five years, but don't panic! AI will also create new jobs. It's a massive shift in the workforce, and we need to adapt by upskilling and reshuffling to thrive in this brave new world.
