That's exactly what it's intended to mean. Until a decision is made, feel free to express your disagreement and arguments in favor of your position. If your ideas/arguments are convincing enough (words that are doing a lot of work, I realize), then it will be chosen.

Once the decision is made and communicated, you're expected to follow/implement it.

Said differently: what's the practical alternative? If you don't like a decision, just continue to disagree with it, pocket veto/ignore it, pretend it doesn't apply to you/your team?
Two timing SOB
You seem to be very keen on making this rather dubious point all over this thread. Certainly more motivated than I would consider “normal” for someone just wishing to weigh in on a topic they care about. Are you connected with this, or just having a particularly manic day?
I have this theory that Musk is just playing a long con and deep fake on all of us. He wasn't selling his cars to the likes of MAGA, so he jumped ship and switched sides to make Teslas look cool to the red consumers. The timing of the Cybertruck somewhat coincides with this flip.

So now, Teslas are cool according to those right fringe folks. Of course, the blue side consumers are not super excited about Tesla anymore, but they are already "stuck" with their models (in general). And the red consumers are a bit more likely (maybe?) to follow a fad.

Eventually, Musk will level out and Tesla Motors will just be a mediocre line of vehicles without too much political pop culture. But for now, he's basically playing with everyone to sway various opinions of himself and his companies (e.g. stroking his ego along the way).

My reading of the part you quoted is, "It isn't justice because only the charges were dismissed, they owe him more than a simple apology."

I generally hate it too. But it is better than "it's illegal, but we won't prosecute researchers". Note that "researchers" is also undefined. Reasonable would be one step up for the even worse status quo.
Do they? I participated in the Freelancer modding scene only...oh god, a while back.
Same way to write self referential structs - use index types into the whatever arena you are using. Indexes are usually 32 bit so they are a bit faster than pointers.

If you are building one off trees such as for parsing and ast transforms, bumpalo is your friend.

In your case, you can look into generational arenas and slabs which are useful for graphs.
You think Amazon legals aren't all over this? It would be silly to assume the NLRB has a lay down misere here. I would be thinking they were in from the start.

I would love this to wind up as a driver for Unionisation but in this context I can't believe no legal input has been made to the CEOs office about consequences for his words, if truly as reported.
Why Schools Are Building Housing for Teachers
I 100% agree with this. I often see these types of writings come to the conclusion, universally, that their choice is the best one.

Is it good to unplug from time to time? Sure! Would I have lost connection, real connection, with my friends and family in the military, or other far away places without technology? Absolutely.

It's insane to me that people still posit that the types of positives they experienced are exclusive to that way of living.
What a weird set of concerns.

Civilian aircraft aren't generally expected to be able to withstand midair collision or war. Why would this drone be any different?

Most aircraft today contain some kind of power storage that can ignite dangerously; 100LL or Jet-A in the case of airplanes and helicopters and some drones, lithium-ion batteries in the case of many drones and upcoming eVTOLs (and for aux power in many modern airplanes as well).

Regulatory frameworks and engineering practices are absolutely able to be used to consider the risks of fires in energy storage systems.
The better way to do this is to use an indexing arena such as `slotmap` or `generational-arena`, so `ClassRef` is not actually a memory pointer to anything but can still be looked up in the context of the class collection. Or, if you never need to remove any values, you can use Vec as your arena and usize as your key.
Reads exactly like that. Tighten the screws on the original benefits of working for them (either remote first or having transitioned to remote) and if the employee doesn’t leave you win because they’re in office. If they do, well, it doesn’t look as bad as another notch in the layoff tally because they jumped first.
My ego has probably by now rewritten my memories to match who I am today. This situation seems like it would have had me and my friends laughing, not scared. Brains are weird.
As someone also frustrated by this vernacular I really appreciate this perspective. Thanks!
Of all the major tech companies, telling someone I was fired from Amazon would be the least embarrassing/most understandable company to say I was fired from.

Especially if the story was "I lived 125 miles away from the Amazon office where my team was and they implemented a return-to-office mandate."
Ask HN: Do you think some devs are in denial regarding coming AI changes?
Reading a recent thread on people's anticipations on how the job market will change due to AI in 5 years, it seems many people are somewhat reluctant to admit the scope of change just on the horizon. There seems to be a somewhat pervasive sentiment that AI will just be "more of the same" and the same old rules will still apply years down the line. Specifically, I've repeatedly noticed the following sentiments, which I disagree with:

1. LLM/their obvious ancestors are nearly maximized in their effectiveness, and will fade and another tech hype cycle will take its place

2. While most junior level dev work is easily automatable, mid-senior level dev work cannot be replaced and in 5 years time will be no sooner able to be replaced

3. LLM's and AI coding tools will actually make code worse and less efficient, cancelling out any presumed efficiency gains from their use.

The overall sentiment from some senior devs regarding recent changes in the job market I seem to be picking up is: "Haha I feel bad for all you Junior dev's who can't get a job now, but AI will never replace ME".

Anyone who agrees with any of the 3 sentiments, what is the justification backing up your belief? Do you feel the general cynicism/dismissiveness is justifiable?
More like fizzle.
The deadlock isn’t here. GP is talking about how “disagree and commit” is used to avoid decision deadlock (when programming), and they’re saying it’s being misused here.
Sorry, this is press release journalism lacking in a fully-developed, practical application.

In this case, it's still pre-alpha and unable to assure removal of enough viruses, bacteria, protists, and fungi to result in potable water.

In the category, LifeStraw and such are worthless apart from absolutely clear water. They don't have the pressure delta or surface area to do much. One hit of brackish water and you're tossing filters because they become completely clogged. If you want clean water, perhaps ~13 stages with large filters before reverse osmosis via electric pump.
A substantial amount of the Chinese population lives in extreme poverty too, so surely that skews their per capita emissions.

Maybe America should just have a population boom. Double the population but refuse to provide power and infrastructure to the new half of the population, make them live subsistence lifestyles. Boom, per capita emissions cut substantially
I mean, I'd love to go back to cubicles at this point. You watch something like Office Space today and it looks like a wonderful degree of privacy compared to the bullpens we're all sitting in today.
> The reality check is that security is incredibly complicated, expensive, very easy to do incorrectly.

Indeed. Which is what i meant by perverse incentives. You can generally make more money by ignoring security or doing the bare minimum. Doing security right is expensive, and the consequences of doing it wrong are usually not that much at the end of the day (for the company anyways, the users might be screwed). All this adds up to rational actors under investing in security. And honestly it is hard to blame them.
That seems to reinforce the grandparents characterization of this as an evasion of the Howey test, not refute it. You really think the technical distinction of a unique number defeats the idea of "common enterprise"? Doesn't the fact that all the initial profit goes to one enterprise clearly make it "common"? Conversely, aren't traded shares of common stocks on NYSE merely "speculative flipping" unless they're specifically paying dividends?

Meh. I mean, fine, you can make that argument but I don't think this is nearly as clear as you think it is. From my perspective: I mean, duh. Of course these are securities. "Give us money for this thing and you'll get more money later" isn't a hard idea to understand as the spirit behind securities regulation.
Jazzy is a pretty sharp guy, and corporate managers are aware of the 1st order effects of this mandate... I wouldn't be surprised though if they are caught off guard by how this plays out - its always the top talent at a company that have the most options.
“Disagree and commit” only applies to the side on the lower side of the power dynamics.
I think you misread my comment!
I'm sorry, what is the bit that is hard?

* You have to setup the binary to build N times (done automatically if you use the tools apple provides while apparently not caring about developers)

* In this case you have to setup a non-standard UI toolkit, which obviously is going to make things harder, and make that build universal as well. Qt claims to support mac and iOS so I'm surprised that doesn't happen by default

* Codesign, which is a trivial step

The hardest part here is just the "I don't want to make a native app so I'm going to build an entire 3rd party UI toolkit", which is not an argument that apple doesn't care about devs.
Near the end of 2022, I got an offer at Amazon for a remote SWE role. The negotiations afterwards gave me the idea that eventual RTO was their goal.

They said they had plenty of remote-friendly teams and started setting up manager interviews. Then one by one, they called back to say that team was either no longer hiring remotely or outright frozen. Even the ones that said they had team members all over the world. A few times they asked me to consider relocating, I declined. Eventually I did get a revised offer for a remote team, but it was less than my current comp. They revised upwards each time I declined or outright said goodbye. The last (and best) offer I got before they stopped calling was roughly my existing comp and level at the time, while being remote like my existing job. It wasn't worth switching for the same thing.

So clearly wanting remote was a negative bargaining chip even though my current job is/was remote. Long story short, I also determined that they really only wanted me if I disliked my current job enough to leave without an upgrade, as others had done in my shoes. Nothing personal in the end, just observing their moves.
Why would you persist in disagreeing with an idea if you did not see real world consequences for the wrong solution in your future?

If you're dealing with obstructionist people, surely there are other ways to detect and address it than 'disagree and commit'.
I don’t think the state has excised itself from moral dictation to the individual based on the desires of the representatives anywhere on a national level, so the current government is not a plumber, it’s a collection of people who tell you what you can and can’t do.

I also do not think of a plumber, or a construction worker (why not just stick with your example) as a parent. But I do think of a cop or judge or congressman as similar to a step-father.
To be honest - I had the opposite feeling - I found it pretty easy to wrap my head around their abstractions. If anything - I believe their abstractions are quite clean as I was able to navigate their codebase quite easily. Their "context" abstraction was an interesting choice admittedly but that's the only non-intuitive thing I found.

Disclaimer: I worked in this space for a few years as an ML engineer so it might be quite different for new entrants in the field.
We have an embarrassment of good pizza around here. Speaking for myself I am little tired of the theme and I prefer a pizza that was in no way influenced by Alice Waters. We have plenty of that too, luckily.
Hilarious to me Oracle has no issue with remote work while Apple, Amazon, Google, all flip out

Deals they cut, whether it’s leases or tax breaks, are not my responsibility.

Aside from Apple, the only thing the anti-remote places have is brand recognition. The knowledge they possess is worker knowledge. They’re having a hard time justifying valuations since their real social value is corralling workers who are then too busy to storm DC, and those workers seem keen to corral themselves.
CEO: “Come to work.”
Employee: “No.”

This is somehow controversial???
I'm like you (in fact I delete everything after looking at it, effectively only storing what's quoted in my sent box) but yes I think most people do just let emails pile up, from what I've seen whenever I catch a glimpse of anyone else's inbox. They get emails that they don't want and never open, but also don't bother to delete them or unsubscribe until they hit a storage limit.

I do love the elegance of searching with the "unsubscribe" keyword, but it doesn't solve the problem of the inbox filling up with junk again. I wonder how dangerous it would be to put in place a filter rule that deletes anything received with that keyword. I think the next most common phrase is "manage your email preferences" or "communication preferences." I'm curious to search my wife's Gmail inbox with these terms to see the precision and recall for myself.
"I'm going to produce software that runs slower and uses more power, I'm sure users will love this"?
I would have loved to have kids. I'm 33 and will never have children. I consider it morally irresponsible to bring children into a world where they will have to deal with the worst of the changing climate. That's it, that's the only reason.

It's heartbreaking, and yes, cynical -- but it's not a risk I'm willing to take ("the world will turn itself around and band together to mitigate climate change" is not a gamble I'm willing to put on my child's life).

Baseball cards aren’t owned by the MLB. That would be a weird expectation like buying Oakland raiders hat and expecting the hat manufacture to stop the raiders from moving to Las Vegas because it would devalue the apparel.

People buy baseball cards to collect them. I have a bunch from my childhood. They weren’t investments.

I think it already is. Their culture issues have made attracting fresh talent hard more expensive. I think this direction will haunt them, especially as they find themselves in 4th place at best in AI spend, which is likely the biggest incremental IT budget driver in this decade. It’s the wrong time to scare off good talent with bad edicts.

You would have to at least double my salary for me to consider working at Amazon.
> Wouldn't getting 50% on a billion be a harder problem than getting 300% on 100MM.

Seems unlikely. Does whatever you were doing with the 100MM really scale that badly?
Yes i disagree. You are quoting the document out of context and it doesn't say what you are implying it says.

Maybe out of context is the wrong word. You quote enough of the paragraph it just doesn't support your point.

All the paragraph says is that one hypothetical situation may have legal consequences in some juridsictions. It does not make any claim as to whether or not that is ethical or right.
This seems reasonable. From what I am able to pick up, they thought they had found some clever loophole to ICO by selling NFTs. Despite the C&D some of their founders key benefits are still up: https://founderskey.io/images/fk/legendary-key.png

Basically 1. until the platform is implemented the key is basically an IOU. However, it can be sold and transferred for a profit AIUI so it’s not like a crowdfunded game where you get some similar benefits as those can’t be sold for a profit. 2. all your NFT corresponds to is a literal key representing the benefits Impact Theory will make available to you in the future so per the Howey Test you are purchasing a contract (not a specific piece of art or cosmetic) yielding profits from the sole efforts of a third party (Impact Theory).

Honestly, they probably could have gotten away with it if they had been a little less lazy! I bet if they tried to raise money by selling some kind of character art (that currently exists like a normal NFT, not a custom avatar they’ll give you one day) that they’d eventually also display in their final product they’d have been fine.

The interesting takeaway though is that it seems like you can’t do kickstarter-style crowdfunding through transferable NFT ICOs, at least in this form in which you got nothing but a key.

What I don't fundamentally understand is that ChatGPT even 4 just functions as a better Google.

It seems like there's far more ways for extensive automation by decision making via ChatGPT to cause problems than solve problems. With my experience using it for programming, anything that is non-trivial basically requires you to do it all yourself because ChatGPT will hopelessly get it wrong.
Same experience. Tried a few times in different machines and it either froze the machine, ate up crazy memory, or other random behavior. I’m shocked this made it anywhere.
The talk was amusing but much less interesting than it could be. Yes, we have adapters and shims and they make interfacing easier, sometimes.

I guess after all these years of waiting for WebAssembly to actually be useful (as in: I can write apps as easily as I can on desktop, with similar performance, but with the safety guarantees of a web sandbox), I finally realized what I wanted: web pages that are backed by virtual machines. Every page is just a view into a VM's framebuffer. User events are delivered just like X11 or win32 events. The page works like a desktop app. Any code that can run in a VM, can run in the window.

After all, the browser is just an inner platform and you should be able to run an virtual machine in your inner platform.
