Remember all those Apple and Amazon employees who signed a letter that they're not going back to the office? Last I heard Apple was at 100% compliance

Make no mistake, if Microsoft is matching $10M PPU's with $10M Microsoft RSUs vesting over 4 years, every single employee will join. But I kind of doubt that this is their plan
I came here to say look at what they do not what they say.

This applies not only to CEOs but to every single human on the planet. One thing I have learned is that many people seem to be easily tricked by certain types of humans saying one thing and doing another (which is contradictory to the "said" thing). It is certainly frustrating to watch happen, when it involves people you care about.
Can we Uber-ize education? (2017)
The high speed ferry on Lake Como uses a foil (although not as smooth as this, I’d almost say it is semi-flying perhaps) and there is more than enough distance between the ports to benefit from this Candela boat. The slow stopper ferry probably wouldn’t be a good option for this foil version (depends on acceleration time to flight I guess) though as the stops are pretty close together.
I think you're right to highlight the resolution of consumption/production feedback as the driver of the attitude change.

My solar company disappeared with the job 95% done, so I can look at my bill and see that it's working, but only day-at-a-time, not hour-at-a-time.

To get better data, I can route an ethernet cable to the inverter (or buy a wifi module, which they're suppose to come with, but which didn't get installed). I'll do that eventually, but for now I'm more or less ignorant about what my system is doing. And it's been so far from my mind. Other people with panels want to geek out about it and I'm like: meh, I have different things to think about.

It makes me wonder if there are cheaper opportunities to tap into the psychology of energy usage. Sure, it would be great if everybody produced as much as they consume, but until we get there maybe we need like... outlet with little histograms or something.
The appropriate counterfactual here is if we'd made investments into renewables back in the 70s/80s/90s of a scale similar to those we made in the 00s/10s/20s. It's not really clear what the result would have been. To really answer this you'd need to unpack the past two decades' worth of cost decreases in (e.g.,) PV and see how many of them would have been possible with late-20th century technology.

My uneducated guess is that we could have moved the timelines forward at least a decade, and that matters a lot when you're dealing with exponential cost/deployment curves (not to mention possible climate feedbacks.)
I think it does. Street-level cops have no power over policy or politics. They can certainly seem very powerful on a person-to-person level, but in terms of government policy or national culture they are very small. Flynt instigated fights with far bigger things than local cops.

The title is misleading. This is not about child cognitive development, merely just some brain imaging. In short, the MRI method can not see the effects of screen time. This is of course a good thing but does mean nothing about cognitive development.

From the abstract of the article [1]:

We studied a [...] sample of young people [...] (ages 9–12 years) to investigate the relations between self-reported use of various digital screen media activity (SMA) and functional brain organization. [...] Of principal interest were two hypotheses: First, that functional brain organization (assessed through resting state functional connectivity MRI; rs-fcMRI) is related to digital screen engagement; and second, that children with higher rates of engagement will have functional brain organization profiles related to maladaptive functioning. Results did not support either of these predictions for SMA.

> When was the last time you used Bard?

So far, every time I use bard it gives me an incorrect answer. But I am happy with how fast it returns it, at least. I haven't had that problem with Bing chat (at least in the past few months), which has pretty much changed the way I search.

That being said, I hope Bard improves drastically. It would be nice to have more competition from them in this space.
That was my understanding, too.

So, emphasis on might.
London 2 main types of underground line: Subsurface (Circle, District, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines), and tube. The subsurface lines were constructed by cut and cover and were made for steam engines. They are much larger than the tube lines. The Tube lines are tunnelled, and designed for electric power only.

It's not really the size of the trains that allows AC on the subsurface lines, it the fact that the lines are well ventilated to allow steam and smoke from steam engines to escape.
Everything You Need to Know About the Fight for the Future of OpenAI
It feels like humans do do a similar regurgitation as part of a reasoning process, but if you play around with LLMs and ask them mathematical questions beyond the absolute basics it doesn’t take long before they trip up and reveal a total lack of ‘understanding’ as we would usually understand it. I think we’re easily fooled by the fact that these models have mastered the art of talking like an expert. Within any domain you choose, they’ve mastered the form. But it only takes a small amount of real expertise (or even basic knowledge) to immediately spot that it’s all gobbledygook and I strongly suspect that when it isn’t it’s just down to luck (and the fact that almost any question you can ask has been asked before and is in the training data). Given the amount of data being swallowed, it’s hard to believe that the probabilistic regurgitation you describe is ever going to lead to anything like ‘reasoning’ purely through scaling. You’re right that asking what reasoning is may be a philosophical question, but you don’t need to go very far to empirically verify that these models absolutely do not have it.

UI defaults are powerful.

For 15 years, YT has been providing an old-school "TV-like" experience, with 16:9 video, 10 minute-plus "episodes". That model is dead, especially with how YT does ads, which annoy users.

They want to move mobile users to the TikTok model ASAP, which allows them to throw in many more ads in a natural way compared to what they currently have.
Whether or not MicroSoft has a winnable case, often "the process is the punishment" in cases like these and its easy to threaten a long, drawn-out, and expensive legal fight.
It is here; they're small trains and the tunnels are very warm already, so the AC isn't as efficient, and adding more heat to the tunnels (which all comes from the running trains) will make it more inhospitable.

There are some projects underway to try and cool the tunnels, but they're deep underground and have accumulated heat over decades.
I suspect very little people joined OpenAI for their noble non-profit mission after they introduced their for-profit subsidiary. OpenAI compensation was and still is top notch. Compare it to Signal, which is a true non-profit (and salaries are a lot lower).
This is quite literally the CTO of Microsoft saying: "Know that if needed, you have a role at Microsoft that matches your compensation and advances our collective mission." I don't think there is a reasonable argument where this is not poaching.

I have all the sympathy with OpenAI employees signing the letter and looking for new jobs.

However, MSFT is basically doing a cheap de-facto acquisition of OpenAI, a company they have invested in. This sets a terrible precedent for companies taking investment from strategic investors where they may stage an opportunistic de-facto acquisition at the sign of any trouble.
> I don't understand the allergy of the so called "back end" developers with JS

I think what many people are complaining about is that they actually dislike UI development and all the ambiguity and complexity. "JS" just catches blame for this. Modern JS and esp. TypeScript are pretty good languages, or at least comparable.

A lot of these server side UI toolkits avoid some of the complexity by supporting basic UIs and flows, e.g. List/Show/Edit (which is fine in many cases), but to do complex UIs that many modern apps need, it's a huge pain. Worse situation to dev is forcing 80% of the functionality via server side, then the last 20% you ask "front end" to wedge in with jQuery style development.
Medical Insurance has all of the characteristics of a bad insurance business: small claims, frequent claims, horrendous adverse selection risk, and moral hazard everywhere.

Undoubtedly, AI will help it reach its logical conclusion even faster.
That's true! Self hosting opens up possibilities for a better backup system.
Yep. The actual risk of “AI” in the medium term is that these things are gonna mostly be used for optimizing the shit out of extracting money from normal people (i.e. pushing down the standard of living) while all normal folks will get out of it is fancy autocomplete.

Great. Shifting the power and information imbalance farther toward large corporations is exactly what our flavor of capitalism needed. /s

https://captio.co/ (https://twitter.com/EmailYourself) to send quick reminders to myself. It hasn't been updated in a while, e.g. no dark mode, so there might be chance for somebody else to improve.

No, those don’t use blockingWebRequest. Absolutely no relation.

The bubble color was and is a signifier of transport layer only; I've personally had situations (generally with spotty or very poor coverage) where individual messages go over SMS even for conversations on all Apple hardware where the rest of the conversation is going over iMessage.
No SML is more verbose, is pretty obvious. A simple "for" in ocaml could save lots boilerplate doing trivial recurison.
As others have pointed out, it's easier to sign a letter than actually go through with it. Besides that, wasn't there some employees who said something similar on Friday when this happened?
I don't understand the economic equation though. Wouldn't the studios recoup only the tax equivalent of the amount they write down, which by definition is only a portion of it?
If you haven’t used it recently, then you wouldn’t understand. But don’t use it if you have such strong feelings about it, it’s still a time sink.

I will say it’s one of the only services of its type that’s no longer a contrived echo chamber though. All opinions can be heard… But only if you seek them.

I’ve posted here before about how I refuse to use Twitter due to its toxicity (in the past), but its recent lack of toxicity has made it very fun and addicting lol

Now, if you’re a positive person who just enjoys tech and cat videos, that’s all you’ll see.

In the past, you could spend hours trying to curate Twitter to be good/positive, but you would still see nonsense.

The biggest improvement is the removal of the feature where completely unrelated content would be pushed into your timeline with a note at the top that said “Your follower [insert follower name] liked this”

So you were at the mercy of what the people you followed also engaged with. Now, you can follow someone who may be on the other end of the political spectrum (who may post cool tweets) - And while you don’t agree with their views on the election, you can still see their tweets without the “Pastor Bob liked this” type post appearing of QAnon bullsh*t.

It does suggest more than their willingness to leave.

Do you leave your Nintendo Switch in standby mode or hold the power button for a few seconds for a full power off? If I don't do a full power off, the battery is gone after a few days in standby mode. It's really annoying when I forget to do it and am welcomed by a dead switch. My Switch is often outside of WiFi connectivity, and I wonder if it's constantly searching for a known network to latch onto.
Yeah, I just can't get over the Paper Mario games and I am also a great fan of Mario and Luigi: Dream Team which takes advantage of the stylus on the 3-DS to deliver some of the most interesting boss fights I've ever seen. (some of those are somewhere between a boss fight and a minigame)
Hmm, As some body who has watched the Visa thing from quite close quarters and lost, but saw others win. Let me tell you something. Getting a Green card is something your company can make it happen if they wanted to. Its just how much money they can spend to cook up documentation to justify your case.

A competent immigration attorney, can get you GC in a year if the company was ready to pay for it.

OTOH if you go in the normal EB1 lane it could take an eternity to get one, because now the pleb rules apply to you. Or worse if your bosses won't support you, you likely will not even complete the Visa time. So its really what the top people say will happen in these cases.

If you are important enough that you have to be there, for a company like Microsoft, these are some what like the cash they spend on food stocked in the floor pantry/kitchen areas.

They will just buy you a Green card.
How are you keeping all those sessions updated in real time? How are you parsing messages sent from others to be able to forward them to the user? How are you handling 'reactions' and 'threaded replies' and attachments?

You are dismissing a very hard problem with handwaving.
You can never precisely be sure, but here are some of the behaviors I’ve been observing that give me the feeling I was auto-rejected:

- rejection coming in nearly instantly
- rejection coming at “odd” times — weekend evenings, 3 AM in my time zone for a company in my time zone

The latter one doesn’t hold up too well for remote-first companies but I would hope few tech firms have recruiting staff going through applications on weekends.
Fraudulently falsifying evidence with intent to harm is a felony. MM falsified manufactured and contrived evidence that materially affected X.

I get that, but still, it is not like we don't have experience with making fail-safe things that we can draw from. And once you get a station + track fitted with the new system you just copy/paste; so I can understand a higher cost in the beginning for the proof of concept, but after that everything should be very cheap.
Two kinds of threads pools, and why you need both
If you have the money for it, you should really consider hiring a contract artist to supplement your gaps.

A concept artist and a 3D modeling artist altogether will cost like $3000 for 1 fully complete character that fits your vision. For 2D probably a lot cheaper.

For me, $3000 is worth the months/yrs of saved time.

Of course if you are having fun learning the art side and don't care about the destination as much then ignore this and have fun with it! If you practice every day for a year you'll probably start getting close to what you invision.

EDIT:
I'll also add that it's possible most of the aesthetic you're looking for can be achieved via shaders (for both 3D and 2D games). A lot of art looks very different in-game because of shaders doing all kinds of manipulations.
"Can people be trusted when they're not being watched?"
That is interesting because it suggests that we could grab some of that heat in winter and pump it into houses and businesses on the surface. In the long term that would help summer heat in the tube to be less of a problem.
That only really works if there is a way to keep all the generated art in the same "genre" (aka looking similar). Most tools I've used create completely different outputs on each run and trying to subtly tweak something is difficult.
And how many of them were punished for shooting someone? You've come up with evidence unrelated to the accusation. The accusation was that cops keep shooting people and getting away with it. The proper counterargument is to demonstrate that cops either don't shoot people or don't get away with it, not that they only kill a thousand people a year.

Plus, I don't like this implication that anyone armed deserves to die. Being armed is a constitutional right, not a murder justification.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that Grafana being used in the boat dashboard? At least some of the widgets seems to either be very Grafana inspired, or straight up pulled from the Grafana UI.

This past week, the head of the sergeants’ union in New York posted a police report on Twitter revealing personal information about the daughter of Mr. de Blasio, who had been arrested during a protest.
Hmm, my theory would be: don't look for the morally spotless ones, look for the ones with internal consistency, authenticity, and honesty. Everyone shits and everyone fucks, and in business, everyone cares about money (even if for different reasons). Yet when the time comes to discuss these things publicly, most suddenly become goody-goodies. So that's the first kind of lie. From there on out many other lies will follow. So seeing some unpolished views and although I think is good because where there's a lot of polish it's probably not 100% true.
Yeah, I can't imagine why DeepMind would possibly want to see OpenAI incinerated.

When you have such a massive conflict of interest and zero facts to go on - just sit down.

also - "people I respect, in particular Helen Toner and Ilya Sutskever, so I feel compelled to say a few things."

Toner clearly has no real moral authority here, but yes, Ilya absolutely did and I argued that if he wanted to incinerate OpenAI, it was probably his right to, though he should at least just offload everything to MSFT instead.

But as we all know - Ilya did a 180 (surprised the heck out of me).

Ideally people who aren't well positioned for solar (maybe there's a big tree in their neighbor's yard or something) could instead invest in batteries or other storage mechanisms. Enough people buying low and selling high and you'd see a dampening of those swings. Unfortunately panels are a no brainer and batteries are kind of a pain, so market dynamics of this sort might not help on their own.
I can use a 5ltr V8 to drive to school and back or a Nissan Leaf.
