Companies love RTO, this isn't gonna change:

1. Real Estate Loss: These companies have leased a lot of real estate. They can renege and save a lot of money long term. But in short term, they have to pay severance price ---> Less profits ---> Shares drop ---> CEO under pressure.

2. Bosses love Office: If you have a job with corner office, job is ordering people and want to show off your new porsche (since you're richer), can't do it at home.

3. RTO triggered attrition: Market is in a bad shape, companies need to fire people. But layoffs generally signal the market that the company is no longer growing. RTO acts as a proxy for layoffs.

4. Incentive based compensation: if you put "Employee of the month" on a wall , you can get away with paying x% less to the same employee. Similar effect doesn't occur with over-the-internet recognition.

5. Locking People in: A remote employee can jump companies in a matter of few clicks. For office based companies, you have to move house/cities and deal with a new commute.
Boy, is the author out of loop!

Hallucination is always and everywhere used as a negative term for LLMs. And it is seen as a problem/challenge that we should get rid of.

Did not read the article after seeing such a wrong title.
Thanks for sharing Simon! I will note that by training an adapter layer between this autoencoder's embedding space and OpenAI's, it's possible to recover a significant amount of detail from text-embedding-ada-002's embeddings with this model too[0]. But as the paper author's reply in a different thread points out, their iterative refinement approach is able to recover much more detail in their research with a smaller model.

This experimental process on small NNs us exactly how science is done. You develop and test theories of what will work using small networks because you can do them quickly.

Then you test on large, production size networks based on the lessons from the small ones.

My current setup is a pi 4 with a big usb ssd plugged into a usb power bank which is itselfpowered from 12v. Only thing “integrated” is I run marcone/teslausb. The power draw is inconsequential compared to powering the mcu & sentry, and I have never worried about it. My first 12v battery lasted a pretty normal 5 years. I have heard other folks have canbus interfaces or run apps that can be accessed via the in-car browser, but I don’t know much about things in those domains other than sniffing some battery cell data once. If you want to properly tinker with Teslas you have to basically be invited to join Fight Club, so it hasn’t been very appealing to try to get into. The culture is very different, and it doesn’t interest me much.

Does that mean it can’t? I know at least a few people who are especially sensitive to heat and cold. It seems likely there are folks out there who could continue to survive environmental changes given our population, just not as many as currently exist.

I can't speak for the FSF, SFLC, or those who agreed with the views they promoted. I do think it's important to remember that this all started decades ago, when many fewer cases had been decided and what the law would be likely felt more up for grabs.

My best guess is in the blog post. A lot of activist attention was focused on trying to push back against strong copyright. If that work succeeded, it could have meant nothing if "evil" software companies just used contract law to restrict software instead.
I worked at the company which used a proprietary compiler, IDE including debugger.. It was few thousands $ I believe. plus about the same amount for their proprietary JTAG adapter.

Worst software I ever used. Crashy, slow, critical features missing (example: debugger can show thread list... but not the stacks of other threads).

So no, I would not expect expensive commercial software to be better. It might generate 2% faster code or be certified, but the day to day experience would be terrible.
> I've listened in on discussions of relative merits of ship builds for the current anti-xeno initiative and they are deep and far-ranging.

> I've watched combat streams from players who've practiced for literally a year to master the intricacies of no-flight-assist piloting.

We agree on these points. The ships and the piloting are the game's strongest qualities. They're what I miss most.

> After immersing myself over a couple of weeks in the various aspects and sub-communities it's amazing to me that people fall for the facile "mile-wide-inch-deep" truism.

The community of players is indeed awesome. Playing with others nearly makes up for all the deficiencies of the game. It makes everything that much more fun and more emergent. The sheer existence of groups like the fuel rats is something this game deserves praise for.

Doesn't make the game itself any less problematic. The problems still exist, they just don't seem so big because you're playing with friends.

> I've listened in on planning sessions for the "rather basic" "tally of points" (BGS) system, and it's far from basic, there's plenty of strategy and tactics involved and political thinking and negotiations with other player groupings are part of it - it's more like 3D Risk than what you describe.

Nah. I've played games like Risk too and they were far more interesting than this grind. Maybe it's "interesting" to the top squadron guys but I don't see how. They're essentially maintaining territory: have everyone in the squadron do a ton of little tasks so everything will stay more or less the same. Pretty much no impact on anything but which factions control which stations which doesn't mean anything anyway. It might sound fun to sign up for the empire princess faction and imagine you're gonna help her take over the galaxy but that quickly goes away when you join a community and discover they're in maintenance mode, only occasionally gobbling up territory when some other faction gets sick of the game and stops playing or something.

Compare that to eve online and its actual player run world and it's like night and day.

> There's a lot more to the game than "space trucking".

Maybe if you've already done everything else and have meta ships you can battle other players or thargoids with. Until then it's an endless grind. Buy at station, sell at another, repeat until number is big enough to buy new ship and modules. Land on planet, shoot and pick up rocks containing common elements until their quantity is big enough to upgrade existing ships and modules.

Space trucking is the most polite way I can describe this menial busy work.
For coding I agree. Roomy enough for an IDE but little neck movement required of larger monitors.

I had the same experience with the original release of Lightwave on the Toaster. The default horizon/skyline had soooo many more colors in the gradient than I had ever seen where I grew up. It just didn't look real to me at all. Then I finally got to visit the west coast, and it made much more sense. It's crazy the effect that having (or not) has on the normality of one's view of the world.
I think a big part of managers' opposition to remote work is that they want more control or at least the appearance of control over the employees. It begins with being able to control other people to come to the office.

Now if you can force them to come to the office, then you might give some of them a treat of working from home say one day a week. They will have to try to please you or you might take such privilege away.

It sounds crazy but I assume based on some experience that there are many people who simply enjoy being able to boss other people around, to make others please you.

Many managers simply desire power over others because it gives them a real or perceived benefit. It may not be good for the company, but it can be good for the boss.
> And where should Hamas be?

Well this is a good example for it now - Hamas is deliberately threatening Gazans not to evacuate the North. It wants to use them as human shields so Israel will be pressured to stop the invasion for humanitarian reasons. Hamas could have allowed the evacuation and went up North to fight for example, but obviously it won't do that.

> How so? If people concentrate in one place, they'll just be easier to kill.

Not sure what you mean here. Israel specifically asked for Northern Gazans to move to the South since Israel concentrates its attacks on the North, its not some conspiracy theory to then deliberately attack the South.
I can somewhat empathize with the Jews, as this recent attack is just one of many.

It's just a bad situation all the way around.
oj comes out very well in that comparison, in terms of both features and performance. Although as you mentioned, it's outdated, not having been updated for over 2 years.
POST is usually creation, but may be any arbitrary request that needs to provide a body. PUT is replacement and PATCH is update. Functionally that means PATCH can usually update a subset of fields while PUT replaces all fields and unsets any not provided.

But it’s all up to the implementation. I regularly see them misused or everything is a POST. At then end of the day they are functionally equivalent. Idempotency is not often considered outside of specific cases like payment.
Good points. All politics is local
Sounds like more fine tuning is necessary. At this point in time with LLMs, I'm really surprised at how auto-translation is still so not natural. I mean, I get why it is that way, but at the same time, it's no less shocking how bad it is.

There was a short period of time when I thought that they finally solved this problem, when they deferred the browser updates to Google Play instead of being part of the whole OS update. I really thought that they would move everything there slowly over a year or two, and it would stop being a shitshow... but I realized fairly quick how wrong I was.

45 minutes and 00 seconds is very close (less than a quarter of a second difference) to :23:33. But there's no magical or particular reason why 45 minutes is an important time period to make a nice round number. :24 is a very convenient number (so many factors!) that's very close to the same time duration. That's 46.2963 minutes.

Or maybe you are referring to three quarters of the way through the major division. That's actually pretty natural too :75 like a percentage. Now dividing the major division into thirds is a little less convenient but I do that far less than I need to add and subtract times which this system makes much more convenient.
Digital makes the experience better while things are supported. But you must buy all the games you want before they're delisted or the shop closes.

The vast majority of physical releases are available on secondary markets at reasonable cost. There are a small number of games that are very expensive because of supply and demand, though... but that's better than not having any option other than a time machine to get games like NFL Blitz and Daytona USA for xbox 360.

Time series prediction is always about using the particular features of your distribution of time series. In standard time series prediction the features of the distribution are mostly things like "periodic patterns are continued" or "growth patterns are continued". A transformer that is trained on language data essentially learns time series prediction where a large variety of complex feature appear that influence the continuation. Language data is so complex and diverse that continuing a text necessitates in-context learning: Being able to find some common features in any kind of string of symbols, and using those to continue the text. Just think that language data could contain huge excel tables of various data, like stock market prices, or weather recordings. It is therefore plausible that in-context learning can be very powerful, enough to perform zero-shot time series continuation. Moreover, I believe that due to in-context learning language data + transformer architecture has the potential to really obtain general intelligence like behaviour. General pattern recognition. Language data is complex enough that SGD must lead to general pattern recognition and continuation. We are only at the beginning, and right now we are focused on finetuning which destroys in-context learning. But we will soon train giant transformers on every modality, every string of symboly we can find.

Every polarizing topic is not taking into account some important dimension. The answer is always the same which both sides don't like because of their frameworks which ignore that dimension. The answer is: "it depends".

Usually when talking about very specific scenarios, reasonable people on both sides will agree on the same solution. For one side it will be "obviously" while for the other - "a special case".

This pattern is present in so many topics.
Quick anecdote: a nephew of mine, who was in third grade at the time, was playing my brother-in-law’s old Gameboy and some version of Pokémon.

He wasn’t reading the text. He would then get stuck, not knowing what to do, and start over. He did this several times and complained that the game was broken.

Some time later I gave him Pokémon Sword for his Switch, as I thought it’d be good for him. Some time after that he was diagnosed with ADD (to the surprise of no one). Some time after that he proudly told me he beat it.

He also said he didn’t like it that much. Hah. I’ll still count it as a win.
Have high hopes for you.

Userbenchmark are an incredibly biased website towards Intel (vs. AMD), so much so that the Intel subreddit banned them.
This is less obvious in how they change the weighting of the benchmark, but their AMD reviews are downright comedic, where everyone but them it bought by AMD and they are the last bastion of honesty. They might actually be more anti-AMD than pro-Intel, considering GPU reviews before Intel entered the market are also always 3/4 complaining that AMD bought everyone off.

I think you're massively over-estimating how many dirt bikes there are in America, and/or massively underestimating how many gun owners there are.

Hey, gavinhoward. Good to see your nick again.

If I were going to summarize my mental model overall, I would say that terms like GPL pasted into license notices for published source code memorialize the terms of contracts that grant licenses. In the jargon, the deals between developers, users, and distributors are "license agreements".

The argument against revocation at will is either reliance or consideration---contract doctrines. If there's ambiguity or vagueness in the terms, it will be argued under rules of construction---again contract doctrines---not statutory interpretation or some copyright-specific scheme. Claims for exceeding the license or breaking rules in the terms will be infringement when preempted and breach otherwise, with a lot of work still to be done sharpening lines like the "extra element test" and "substantial use restrictions". The defense to plead against an infringement claim is license---a property concept.

The fundamental error of "license, not contract" is really the underlying idea that they're mutually exclusive. They're really integral and complementary. Between private parties, contracts are the means by which licenses are given and received.

When writing specifically about the GPLs, the claims are usually about the source code requirement. I can slip into just saying "contract" because that's where I see those claims heading.
A number of companies (including WhatsApp/Meta and Signal) made a big fuss about withdrawing from the UK market if the Online Safety Bill passed (which it basically did - just awaiting the formality of Royal Assent).

I only finished the As before coming back to comment: it’s an interesting list, but some words are certainly more deserving of seeing greater uptake than others. I question the presence of quite a number of entries, some for being quite pedestrian and quotidian, others for being milquetoast, and a handful for being way too archaic or downright alien - if they’re not in any standard dictionary (online or offline) are you just being a word snob if you use them?

One that surprised me is “agog” - I know it well, but I have literally only seen it as “agog with …” with the blank often being “excitement,” but now I learned that that’s a superfluous use of words, as agog already means just that.

But all that said, it’s a fun list. Thanks for sharing it!

I've never replaced a smartphone out of search for novelty, lack of updates or repair difficulties. Rather each of them got progressively slower over time eventually reaching a point of being unusable. And I'm pretty sure I have high tolerance for slow UI - whenever I asked my wife to do something on my last one, she would think it's not working at all.

How much of that is intentional on the vendors' part is an open question, but I'm sure they aren't losing sleep over it.
A lot of modern games that do not support Intel XeSS do still support AMD FSR, which looks worse than XeSS but works fine on all three GPU vendors. FSR2 especially looks 'decent enough', FSR1 does look a lot worse.
no. that case is about whether notice on shrinkwrap or via a license-acceptance screen can create an enforceable agreement. its not even a copyright issue.

morality has nothing to do with contract (or copyright) law in a common law country.

no one should think that getting cute by "bypassing" an acceptance screen will make a difference to the outcome, let alone be crucial. what matters is whether the user has sufficient notice that using/proceeding/whatever is agreement, and that they had a chance to know what they were agreeing to. theres no special magic in an "agree" box, except insofar as asking the user to click it contributes to notice that the user is making an agreement.
