I had a lot of people excited about having a space where we could deliberately meet for collaboration. Even more so about bringing everyone into a shared space for a week. However, the collaboration spaces never worked out in practice because you were always missing someone and now had to call in to a Zoom meeting regardless. This lead to the thing quickly dying because there so little was real value from coming in. That might be a company culture thing one could correct though.
>I just can't believe how horrible using a computer is for a non-poweruser.

I think it's more that computers have filesystems and a ton of other stuff--unrelated to crapware in many cases--that a lot of people don't understand, don't want to understand, and that a lot of people reading this are probably somewhat contemptuous of them not understanding. So they use phones that don't require them to understand any of that stuff and ask family/friends to help them when they get out of their very narrow comfort zone for some reason.

It takes a long time to build a nuclear plant. You can build several renewable sources during that time with double the output.
The linked article goes into detail about what I mean about that, but what I mean is that some of these concepts have a lot of mystery around them that are not deserved. Many people penetrate this mystery and then wonder what the deal was with the mystery. For these particular concepts, that's generally a good sign.

Iterators are important... but they are not conceptually complicated. They're just a way of getting a "next element". Behind that may be a lot of complexity for some particular iterator, but that complexity should be accounted to the implementation, not the concept of iterator.
I agree we need more nuclear, but it takes five years to build a new plant and we need the EV batteries now.
> A 15-pound lithium-ion battery holds about the same amount of energy as a pound of oil.

After you burn the oil, you can't do much else with it. On the other hand, you can't do much with the battery without an energy source. Comparing the weight of oil to a battery is apples and oranges.

> “That electricity has got to come from somewhere. It’s not going to come from solar farms and wind turbines,” he said.

Maybe not today. But in time, I see no reason why most of it can't come from renewable sources.

This "article" definitely has a point of view. The alternative isn't really explored. What if we shut the coal plant down today, and just didn't run the battery plant? Then we'd have less batteries, and presumably more ICE vehicles burning fuel. It doesn't do the full analysis. It's just a spicy headline.

I was thinking the very same thing!

One's liver can process alcohol at a constant rate, thus if you consume a large amount of alcohol over a relatively long period of time, you may have less in your blood than a much smaller amount consumed immediately before driving. My knowledge ends there, but I would guess that the breathalyser would pick up stronger traces of that slow consumption of alcohol relative to the content in one's blood.

Drinking alcohol gradually (or, in your case, not at all) before driving is clearly more responsible than consuming it quickly and immediately beforehand, and as a result it appears to me that the blood test would always be fairer: it more closely measures what makes one's driving erratic.

Does anyone know of a jurisdiction where you can explicitly request a blood test?

Lichtvis | lichtvis.be | Full-time | Bruges, Belgium | (Senior) Software Engineer | hybrid

Lichtvis is a textbook delivery platform that caters to over five hundred Belgian schools, both elementary and secondary. It is built in Bruges, by a small and dedicated group of people that aim to give its thousands of students and parents peace of mind when it comes to getting their textbooks on time every school year. Team communication and the application itself is in Dutch, so that's pretty important.

For our engineering team we are looking for a software engineer to help develop the Lichtvis platform. Since we are growing at an ever increasing speed, there are numerous challenging and interesting problems to tackle.

Since we use Ruby-on-Rails to build our application, having experience with it and its ecosystem is a huge plus but even when your experience lies in other (web) technologies, we would love to have a chat!

I get what you're saying, but I don't really think this counts as living paycheck to paycheck. This is just reverse budgeting.

On a first quick pass, this looks so good that I'm wondering if it's too good to be true!

But the work looks to be of decent quality and the technique is remarkably straightforward:

The idea is to apply attention over the first token and a sliding context window, ignoring everything in-between, in each layer.

By implication, each layer must be gradually shifting relevant information forward in the sequence, enabling the top layer's ending sliding attention window to see it.

The only caveat I can think of is that the sliding windows won't be able to shift all important information forward when the span of all sliding windows isn't sufficient to span the entire sequence -- for example, when model depth × window length < sequence length, if all windows have the same length.

much in the same way it is easy for a clown to dangle a shiny object in front of small children, and receive cheers and applause from a similarly small minority of people, and similarly be ignored by most other people, who recognize that the clown is a clown.

> The status quo was "people that work from home aren't actually doing work", or "people that work from home aren't as productive", etc.

In my last position (exclusively work-from-office), I had two co-workers (out of nine) that were seriously counterproductive: the rest of us had to work around them. I don't know why the bosses hired them, and I don't know why they kept them on - perhaps they thought they were somehow rescuing them.

At any rate, these guys weren't just less productive; they were seriously counterproductive. And this was a strictly office job; we were more-or-less forbidden to work after 5:30PM.

The bosses had some kind of "company culture" fantasy, that they could weld us together into a bean-bags-and-table-football crew of clones, who would both work and play together. Interestingly, neither of these bosses had ever done an office job in someone else's office...
I think a better argument could be made for tax incentives.

Large employers, think Amazon in Seattle, often have special agreements with the city for taxes.

Without the employees coming in and supporting local businesses there's a decline in tax revenue and local govt threaten to take them away. (As well as play less ball with the larger employer on other things like permitting etc.)

For these large companies they want political power as well, and maybe want it more than a marginal boost in productivity from remote work.

I noticed the same with the search results in the Google Play Store. When you use search to try to find an app that matches your search term, you almost always get very unrelated apps in the results, and the only good explanation to it is that the unrelated apps that you're seeing provide more revenue to Google in comparison to the actual app that you want.

If the general policy is updated to ‘remote is forever’, save a copy - that’s part of your contract too!

If it gets changed in a way that causes you injury, guess what - you can be and should be compensated. If you can prove these things, then it should even be relatively easy to do so.

Contract law is not just things that say ‘contract’ on them. It is about agreements between parties.

Also, talk to a lawyer so they can look over the fine print and applicable statutes. They matter.

I feel like information theory prevents full information retention for unlimited context lengths and finite compute, but I don't know if we are at information theory limits to invoke this argument. Or rather, I don't know how to make a good analysis of (bits of context information) per (bits of model parameters).
There are definitely consumer electron microscopes available. I remember a video from a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t60I0Z7qCsU

I am not sure if the video actually says the name of the microscope, though, because he was mad at them for not testing it at high altitude where he lived at the time.
I think naked kwargs can be abused, but there are many legitimate use cases for them. For example, we interface with a message bus that uses JSON for transport. There are several different ways to enqueue a message onto the bus, and it would add a ton of complexity and no real value to define the parameters for each of those Send APIs.

Looking at it another way, the hunk of code in charge of serializing your message does not care one whit about the innards of each message, and making it become aware would add tremendous complexity with no real value.

> you can turn off Windows Defender if you don’t like it

Please tell me how, good sir. Not replace, not turn off temporarily until the next day or the next restart when it turns on again automatically. Tell me, how do I turn off Windows Defender real time protection in a way that I can turn it on when I need it and turn it off when I don't.

As far as I know, It's not possible without 3rd party tools AND in a way that will persist (even after Windows updates).

How is that dealing with it exactly? Are they able to somehow assess productivity better when people are in the office? How?

Some are arguing that people are just naturally more productive in office than at home. I don't necessarily but that argument but it at least makes sense. If what you're worried about is people slacking off at home then I don't quite see how RTO is a solution to that. I've worked with people in that past who showed up to the office every day and played poker online, browsed reddit and watched videos on YouTube.

> Require immigrants to be self-sustaining at some minimum amount. Have a job ready or otherwise prove the ability to pay for your housing (someone willing to board you).

These are the sorts of arguments which get trotted out for only certain kinds of immigrants.

Where I live in Chicagoland, Eastern European immigrants (Poles especially) face a lot of the same kinds of issues. Lots of signs and documents are printed in English, Spanish and Polish around here. They just try like hell to get here, however they can (often illegally, via visa overstays, just like immigrants from Latin America). But for reasons I will leave as an exercise for the reader, nobody around here is advocating these sorts of rules to be applied to Poles.

I used to live in a town that was 49% Latino (really, Mexican was most of that). You will find that most of those folks would pass this test you suggest. Most people are not moving to a country where they have no job and no place to stay - there's always some community of friends and family they are connected with where they can land and get on their feet. Obviously! You'd have to be mad to move your whole family to a place where you have no job and no place to stay. If that option seems attractive to you, then probably conditions in your country of origin are so bad that you really should be a refugee.

Software is always user-upgradable on Linux. Just install it somewhere in your home directory. GNU Stow [0] can be helpful as a very lightweight way to manage the packages.
