I like this theory. Since most people are right-handed, and the right leg does more work than the left when walking up a counter-clockwise spiral staircase, it makes sense that spiral staircases would be designed counter-clockwise.
I'm hoping that in 20 or 30 years, maybe he'll be on stage at some business symposium or something and will share the background for the decision and how it went down. A while back John Scully was answering questions and he talked (with surprising candidness) about the Apple board firing Steve Jobs, and how he (in retrospect) thought he could've handled it better. These sorts of stories are always secreted away because (probably more than anything) the liability risk associated with sharing the information.

Lazar was briefly a subcontracted technician at Los Alamos: not a scientist, controversial or otherwise.
Another comment says bit shifting 128 bits, constructed ftom 2 64 bit lut results, still won over a simple division.

It's still a simple rule to find out by testing, but the simple rule is not so limited.
Backwards rationalization / cognitive dissonance for a poor engineering tradeoff.

The cost of zillions of the same panel mount connector will converge to dirt cheap. Although cents matter, user experience matters more if everyone hates your craptastic cheap design. Thankfully, Apple came along and gave the world USB-C which simply increased the bandwidth and current with the convenience of rotational symmetry. A USB-C panel-mount connector costs $0.492 in bulk. Fancy rugged and waterproof ones are $2.18. Micro USB B costs $0.45 in bulk. 10% increase in cost: big whoop for everything except Arduinos and portable kids' night lights.
The clear explanation to compute the odds you need to combine the distribution of positives & negatives with the false positive (or false negative) rate; a probability derived purely from a false positive rate presumes a uniform distribution of positives and negatives.
Well you don't have to call me out for running 64gb of ram in my home desktop like that.
The problem is that in gaming, its often the indie studios that are the most profitable. They may have only 10 staff, but easily make 50 mil a year. Traditional industries rarely have such lopsided staff/revenue ratios.

And small indies may transform into large enterprises surprisingly fast. Mihoyo was a small indie only 10 years ago.

Its much much easier to repair bridges with indies, who don't really want to move off unity as much as you think, and can be placated by backpedaling and the CEO replacement.
You can speculate on nonconvertible currencies with non-deliverable forwards. This is not offered by most retail brokerages.
Well, with Glassdoor it is much simpler: they are very trigger-happy to erase unfavorable ratings and comments upon a request from the company. It isn’t some conspiracy theory or a secret, it’s been known for a while, with plenty reporting and articles about it.

I also don’t know absolutely anyone in big tech/FAANG who takes glassdoor seriously or even uses it at all.

Not that Blind is the pure truth or anything when it comes to absolute approval numbers, it is just the other side of the same coin (with the jaded ones gravitating more towards it).

However, when it comes to relative approval ratings among companies (i.e., to determine which one has higher approval vs another, not how good in absolute terms it is), I would definitely go with Blind.
That's not how it's going to work. There's no point in taking out a relatively cheap robot that can be replaced in a day, when you can take out a person that will take 20 years to be replaced.
It's a problem that came up ~~a few years~~more than a decade ago with Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress which was deemed "not significant" initially, whereas every niche Linux distro has a page, which simply shows the demographics of the folks in charge of moderating Wikipedia: https://slate.com/technology/2012/07/kate-middleton-s-weddin...

I get the idea of "Let's keep Wikipedia for relevant things instead of a graveyard of everyone that wants to self-promote their meaningless project", but there is absolutely a real problem here.

Code of Princess is relevant because it's published by Atlus, but by that measure, any of Jill Lepore should be relevant enough. That said: Do you know if the books without pages were removed for non-relevance, or if it's simply a matter of "No one has created a proper Wikipedia Article for it yet?"
My personal rule, for what it's worth, is that if someone sends me a plain text message, my reply is inline, because I assume that anyone knowledgeable enough to shift the default from HTML-encoded to text is going to want that. For everyone else, I usually top-reply.

Of course, technology adjacent mailing lists are almost always text based, and I don't know of any where top posting is the norm, so I reply inline to mailing list posts as well.
I was surprised this mistake was made with USB-C. Surely a committee voted on this and knew what they were doing? Isn't Lightning the opposite way around?
Awesome to hear! Thank you for your comments!
Devil's advocate: There's no rule that conspiracies have to be elaborate or out-of-this-world or anything like that.
Who's going to be your counterparty and why would they give you the "official" rate? The whole reason why there's an "official" rate and a "black market" rate is that the government has mandated one rate, but the broader market disagrees and has agreed on a different rate. The two never converge because the government requires you to jump through hoops to get the official rate, so people can't arbitrage the difference.
I don't think the startup is going to factor in that you worked 12 years without a break when evaluating your request.

I think it depends on the stage of the startup, and how much of a key employee you are to it. Can they afford to have you away for that long? Do they have a PTO accrual policy? Have you been making use of it? Do you have at least 6 months of savings for bills / rent should you not have a job? Also consider the expenditures you'll have while taking the sabbatical with half the household income.

A strategy I used to do was that I took unpaid PTO when I wanted time off to let the PTO accrue, then took all of it at once when it maxed out (when that happened, I was on PTO for a month and half) after finishing a major project that took a year to complete. The PTO would also increase in value as I got raises over time.

The company wised up and stopped letting people do unpaid PTO if you had PTO to use because of me.

Even if it's unpaid leave, they still have to pay for your benefits while you're away I think.

Going on the face value of what your original post says, it sounds like a very risky thing to do. PMs are going to have a significantly more difficult time getting a job than an engineer I think.
Unfortunately I do not have a guide, perhaps this would be a good idea for a blog post? I'll write something up when I have a free weekend.

Keep in mind that a lot of this will be heavily dependent on what kind of router and LAN configuration you have.

Drones and robots made attacks easier, did that help national security?

Countries like Russia or China won't attack because of nuclear weapons but groups like ISIS don't care.
It is corporate welfare. It's hiring people with no useful skills to espouse communist propaganda within your organization. Why? Because it's cheaper to do that than to make meaningful changes to your hiring practice that would actually improve the ability of disadvantaged people to get real jobs in engineering.
Honestly you nailed the reason why Payload exists. Both the editor AND developer experience are important and when you have both, you end up with a better project.

I've often wondered about option 2, but wouldn't that be very risky if you were near something/someone and you created a large gravitational field?
Also, if this was common and you had lots of ships warping the gravity field then would that not be some kind of space pollution?

I know space is big and all that, but this seems like an irresponsible option.
Have you never wired a plug? I'm baffled that it would never occur to you that the connector is replaceable.
God, what a tired argument to deflect responsibility. Not to say I'm holy, I've also given up trying to save the planet and am just going to enjoy my life until the climate kills me either directly or indirectly (lack of resources will lead to conflict, even in the West food and water might not be guaranteed), which I think will be in the next decade.

What are the corporations doing anyway? They're selling crap to you and me, which we all addictively buy. iPhone 15, faster, shinier, newer, on sale now! RTX 4000 series, it needs a kilowatt power supply! Get Windows 11, the billions of laptops without TPM will be worthless when Windows 10 is EOLed in 2 years (Install Linux? But it's too hard to understand, I want my fucking convenience!).

Wikipedia says there are 2640 billionaires in the world[1], if they all adopted the middle class lifestyle, would that save the planet? Hmm 2640 people flying on private jets vs the billions of planetary middle class with their cars and air-conditioned homes and taste for steak and jet-setting vacations.

We're all "environmentally friendly" up to the line where beyond it it inconveniences us. For the billionaires flying commercial is inconvenient; for me, being vegan, using old tech, not allowing myself to ever see Japan again would be inconvenient. I admit that I like my luxuries, I'm not going to use the excuse that the billionaires have to do it first, even if they all turn green I'd still want my comforts, but I will support laws that force us to be greener[2].

Thank you! That’s one of my favorite features too. Pretty straightforward to implement too. We’ve got some examples in the docs and the repo if you’re interested.
Less a dupe and more "previous discussion" (to paraphrase @dang). It's a different source with different framing (independent magazine and associated commentary vs. an official press release sanitized to some extent by Unity).
I may be wrong about the "TS_USERSPACE" environment variable, but I think that you don't need to disable it.

If you were using userspace networking, you wouldn't be able to connect to other services in your tailnet without setting up a HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy https://tailscale.com/kb/1112/userspace-networking/
It is actually the opposite, it is currently considered a good practice to run stateful workloads outside of kubernetes and stateless workloads inside of kubernetes.
I've certainly more than once outright thrown out items for just falling outside of the return window rather than hand-me-downing them to friends for being so crappy that I didn't want to ever operate them ever again in any context.

The one I remember the most was a Bluetooth speaker that yapped your ear off for a half-minute combined with an obscene amount of jingle beeping at 100% blast and more LEDs than a Christmas tree as a power-on/off procedure back when they were novel items.
I mean if we're not going to do anything useful, might as well appeal to the vacuum headed.

I often take it to the ridiculous point and use a scenario with only one possible positive case. Like:

There is only one person in the world who is you. Let's say I had a facial recognition system that had a false positive rate of only 1 in a million. If I tried to find you by having the system scan through pictures of literally everyone on earth, how many people would I incorrectly identify as you?
Economies do not usually collapse to that extent. You are implying that somehow Egypt will turn into Somalia-style failed state (evrn Venezuela is able to guard its borders), which will almost certainly not happen.

Economy collapses are more like a reality check when a country has to cease the unhealthy practices it was engaged in, and eat a humble pie. They are not like statehood collapse.
That’s a good point. The sentence does sound better without “just”. Though in this case I was trying to account for what I thought was a simple solution.

If this is a Hetzner machine then yes, but enterprise SSDs costs more, especially from enterprise vendors. But this only drives the storage cost up.

More so, if you tend to send some big amount of data every 5 minutes and you are somewhat constrained by memory (32 / 1000 x 100 = 3.2%) then it would be easier to just read it from the storage again. If you are not constrained by storage bandwidth, of course.

And by the way, the latest gaming consoles (at least PlayStation?) is designed around this concept - they trade having big amount of RAM (which in case of PS5 is shared between GPU and the OS) to just loading assets from the storage extremely fast 'just in time'. Which works fine for games.
We have a package that allows you to deploy Payload in a NextJS app serverlessly, and it works great. I actually tried bundling as one endpoint early on while exploring with the NextJS approach and it seemed to work perfectly. But honestly I can’t remember the pros and cons.

I’d say give it a shot, and if you need anything, let us know!
You're making the exact mistake that OP warned against at the beginning: "selling to game developers is very different than selling games".

Even game studios can't just change things willy nilly. If Baldur's Gate 3 had been a microtransaction-funded F2P game, it would have been a flop—their target player base doesn't like that business model and wouldn't have gone for it. It's better to try out a new model with a brand new franchise than to try to pivot an existing franchise.

Enterprise software has these same constraints and more, because monkeying with the business model doesn't just mildly irritate prospective customers, it can and does throw off years of planning for thousands of people per company. They can't just shrug and decide to not invest in the next installment in your game franchise, they have to re-do their corporation's 5- and 10-year plans.
In 1998, an old Pentium might have been four or five years old and cast off.
Yup. It's very similar to the problem of explaining the importance of precision and recall in information retrieval.
In theory you'd be right, but in the practice we talk about everything. Just try searching for Ukraine or Russia and you'll find endless posts.
no, it is actually a property of the flux of energy density, which occurs across space and time, whatever those are.
Video seeking as a paid feature. Don't use it personally, but I've heard Spotify has something like that implemented where you can't just skip songs willy nilly.
What fails this is many people don't want to live in cities. Living in apartments with others, taking public transportation with others and walking down the street with other is more unpleasant than cars.
I don't know that it's as much a matter of papers having become weak as much as there being a knowledge gap between use of models in practice and in research.

For example, a glaring issue that caught my eye in the paper was that their prompt for the self-evaluation was setting the context for what was being analyzed as its own work.

Out of the training data of the effective Internet, what % of critical analysis was self-critique and what % do we think was the analysis of others' work?

As such, if we're trying to elicit an effective analysis of an earlier answer from an incomprehensible multi-variable prediction machine, might we not want to set the context as the evaluation of another's earlier work? It's still technically self-evaluation even if we are hiding implementation details from the LLM.

Another example is that their prompt to a fine tuned instruct model asked it to "find problems." And then they found that the self-critique would often bias correct answers to change to incorrect. What about having used more neutral language like 'grade' that allows both verification or challenge of the earlier answer to fit the instruction?

These are the kinds of nuances I'm sure many working with LLMs in production scenarios have realized can completely change the outcomes of a prompt pipeline, and yet in research we see very smart analysis (i.e. implicit bias towards correction over multiple rounds of challenges when incorrect) coupled with less than ideal prompt selection for the methods.

And given that we should expect every new generation of models to have new and different nuances to what works in practice and what doesn't, I don't know that this is a problem that's going to get better before it gets worse.
Cash total for both of those deals was $1B, rest was just stock.
Not really... I mean, the issue starts with the equating of 'metal' to mean 'solid', let alone how 'solid' is a bit of an oxymoron for 'plasma'. Additionally, all materials are free to conduct electrons through it, in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms (the differences are just in the energy/distance thresholds in order to do so). So "Solid chunk with electrons free to conduct through it" doesn't quite grasp what metals actually are. I mean, you can have solid chunks of oxygen with electrons free to conduct through it, given the right conditions, and oxygen isn't a metal. But then again, this is entirely a matter of an arbitrary line we've chosen to categorize matter for convenience and communication purposes, and we call those conditions for elements like oxygen "metallic", so if it helps comprehend things then I don't see anything wrong with that.
I think when they're both on the front page at the same time it qualifies as a dupe. Previous discussions are things that have been posted in the past
I love the old rights of access, I really do, war houses in the UK were built for a vastly different way of living with your neighbours.

I live in a terrace, and four of us share a ginnel that my house sits over, splitting the terrace into a 2/2 on the ground, and fully attached 4 above.

My ‘ground attached’ neighbour is great, shares it no problem and has full access to my garden. The neighbour on the other side of the ginnel has blocked access for her ‘ground attached’ neighbour by building a greenhouse infront of the gate, so she must store her bins on the street rather than her back garden and be deprived of the ability to wash her car, get a window cleaner for her rear windows etc.
Well you’re implying bias on Glassdoor’s part, I don’t see why the same couldn’t be true of Blind, albeit in a different way.

It's written asap to disk unless you configure it otherwise. The disk (or flash disk, in your case) has its own ram before actually flushing to physical storage (fsync, unless it lies, in which case there is probably an article about it here cough macs cough). So the kernel isn't lying to you, but your disk probably is.
Life is short. There will always be work. Live now, worry about what may or may not come to pass as it comes to pass. You will not regret taking a sabbatical, traveling the world, learning new skills, and picking up new hobbies on your deathbed, even if it meant you lost your job. You will regret not taking more adventures and trips around this beautiful planet.

https://krunker.io/

which has some stories in newspapers claiming it has serious player numbers but the people who make it have tried several times to make their own page for it which have been taken down because it was self-promotion. I’d imagine someone else could still make one but nobody has.

Myself I’d rather deal with nicer people so I try to slip real Ukiyo-e prints into Danbooru and also correct historical inaccuracies in the bio(s) of people that FGO characters were based on.
I use NixOS on a server and it is wonderful there where my needs are basic and on the well worn path.

But there's no chance I would want it on my development machine. Even something as simple as installing a python package that isn't in the main repo doesn't have a straightforward solution. There are half a dozen different approaches people take, almost none of them well documented. And most of them involve writing 50 lines of esoteric nix, your own derivation, or a complicated flake (which everyone says to use, but there isn't good documentation). Maybe it is great for those on the inside, but from the outside it looks like a disaster. And that's the last thing I want to deal with when I need a package installed to get my work done.
Given the transparency of the gesture of removing a person in power after a controversial change being an obvious and common scape goat mechanism, I'm not convinced this is Unity recovering right here. Pretty sure this is just Unity acknowledging they fumbled the ball and they're desperately trying to spin this as, "no, no, we're the good guys, that _one_ person in power was the one you had beef with." I say, why let them create that spin?

The rest is bad enough, but I could not believe that until I saw it for myself. It is honestly like some highschool level presentation video or something.

One thing that bugs me a bit too, is when the left hand bugdroid jumps up, the legs have some kind of glossy shine, when then just pops away. Not sure if that intentional, but it is very jarring to me.

Well, the transition in leadership is uncommon but they don’t officially give us a reason, so we’re left to speculate until someone inside gives us more info.

But from a purely speculative standpoint, it seems very possible that they were ousted because of the pricing debacle. I could see a world where the stakeholders aren’t thrilled with the damage the pricing changes did to their brand and took action.
