Sorry, you're right, I meant "integrated graphics". Those (often laptop) chips that don't have real GPUs with SOCs, or whatever, but just have some helper commands/functions for common graphic processing tasks. Basically, the kinds of chips that only do linear (threaded) processing, even if it's on rendering functions.
> And for Ukraine, you can tell your friends it was nice knowing them. Russia is rapidly modernizing, gaining valuable experience, and outscaling NATO in ammunition production.

I see you read Russia Today and swallow, then repeat propaganda. The Russian military is toast...no one fears them anymore. If not for nuclear weapons, NATO would have brought down the Putin regime to dust.
Manager of a hybrid team here, 2 remote, 4 in 2 different remote offices, and 4 in the office with me.

My experience is that remote workers often have higher velocity but lower agility. When there's a well-defined task and little ambiguity, remote workers can usually complete it faster than in-office workers. But when the task is highly ambiguous, requires many course corrections, involves rapid communication, or relies on a large degree of trust, the in-office teams end up more productive. It all stems from known research on the benefits & detriments of office work, i.e. offices build trust and allow higher-bandwidth communication, but they also have more distractions and a less comfortable work environment.

I think the trigger that would bring people back to the office is a new economic boom based on new and unknown technology. That creates a highly ambiguous environment where you're forging ahead in unknown directions and need a lot of trust in leadership to make progress at all. Established companies with known markets probably would be better off adopting remote work - the employees work faster, and there are already well-known processes and strategic direction. Of course, if you're already well-established in your market, it probably doesn't matter what you do.

Sports benefit to society is hard to quantify.

But most agree there is benefit to having sport activities in our society. And that doping is detrimental to it.

It also attracts millions of taxpayers money, lots of athletes, especially those going to Olympics, get funded.

But originally I wasn't making a comparison based on negative impact on society, but comparing the incentive structure.

It was dead the moment my company got used to expecting us to have video meetings from 8AM to 10AM.

It's one thing to get me into the office - it's another to expect me to get everything done in my morning routine, get to the office and immediately be ready in front of a desk, contributing to discussion, communicating status, etc.

By the time these meetings wrap up, I get the post meeting notes written down/persisted and do all of the other things you need to do after being in meetings for 2 hours, it is almost lunch time.

Seems like freshmen need to practice their academic dishonestly more to have these skills ready by career time! Maybe the academic integrity councils need to include professors’ work.
In broad strokes, it's just old vs new, and an age thing. I'll pick '40' as the mid-point:

Old = over 40s (myself included) who are senior, their careers have been in offices and commuting, and still believe that 'managing people' means real-life first person interaction, and are completely invested in offices, and the cost of paying for them, rather than downsizing.

Young = under 40s - have grown up with the internet, github, working/studying remotely and so on.

I've worked in companies where the CEO and senior management are all 50 something, and in a couple of companies where they're all approaching 40. Can you guess which company used PCs and which one used Macbooks?

Going back further, I can remember working on Sun boxes, because management was reluctant to use that 'new fangled NT3.51 or even NT4.0'.

The point being, as the workforce demographic changes, so will the opinions and approaches. And the cycle will repeat.
> I didn’t know it wasn’t possible to mentor junior employees remotely.

I appreciate the author's nuanced approach here: not just types but each entire ecosystem has tradeoffs. Different tools for different jobs; that shouldn't be controversial.

As a disgruntled Python developer, my take is that everyone else is getting better at types while Python is stuck. It has become the immovable legacy language. It's not really a static vs dynamic issue.

The static languages are all getting really good at type inference. The dynamic languages are getting better at optional typing. They've caught up in terms of developer experience. They're all better at dependency management for sure.

"Modern" Python code requires adding verbose type annotations without providing many runtime benefits - the worst of both worlds. Modern static languages, ironically, can require _less_ manual type information while still providing optimizations and runtime guarantees. Modern dynamic languages provide robust optional typing for surgically adding real typing benefits (mypy doesn't cut it).

Untyped Python is great for what it is (scripting) but I see this as more evidence that Python is a toy language that we've shoved into a production box. And it's falling behind BOTH sides of the static vs dynamic debate.
I'm astounded that this guy's the world #1 in his subfield by academia's success metric, citation count. (The table about 2/3rd of the way into the article).

I disagree with you. "Learning" to use a particular documentation website (which, mindyou, changes its layout frequently) is not very time consuming.

So a beginner should use w3schools while they see fit, and then move on to MDN, etc. when they find it to be unsuitable for their purposes.

There are very few artists that have the gift of writing great songs and reinterpreting the songs of others in such a way that they make the song their own.

Shane MacGowan was one of those artists. When I first heard the Pogues in the late 1980's, I knew that "Dirty Old Town" was a Ewan MacColl song and "Waltzing Matilda" was an Australian bush ballad. It didn't matter because his interpretations stamped those songs with his personality. And it's hard to believe that "Fairytale of New York" was written on a bet. It's a song that has so much life and spirit; I could listen to it hundreds of times and never get tired of it.
So the Turing Test is not dead, we just need to redefine what it entails? That sounds like moving the goalposts.

The fact that it stores your card is pretty much an unescapable reality. Just like car rentals, they reserve the right to charge you before, during or after your stay, for the booking or for damages.

Funny, I have bittersweet feelings about WFH because it was so much easier for me to slack off in office. All I needed was a butt in chair for 8 hours a day.

WFH I'm expected to track my productive time and ensure it adds up to 8 hours. Maybe some people can get away with fudging their records but I think there's a pretty widespread understanding that coworkers who regularly have lengthy periods where they're neither responding to DMs nor producing output aren't actually working for the full workday.

In office, if I spent an hour to go for a walk and to a coffee-shop during my 8 hour workday, it was understood that I was probably doing some backround processing while stretching my legs.

WFH if I disappear for an hour, it's assumed I'm not working (and I'm certainly not tracking that as productive work time)
wax tailor really dosent have that many peers in the sense, he does what he does in full albums, whereas other artists may do his style in one or two tracks amongst their catalogue. those peers lean more towards the instrumentalization, and then towards jumbling rap lyric clips throughout. also dosent help hes european, which makes a difference believe it or not as far as peerage (i can hear the difference, dont know how to verbalize it, much in the same way aim is too)

Good hybrid policies should mean people are in-office on the same day. People who work together that is, it doesn't have to be the entire company. This is my current workplace's hybrid policy.

It doesn't even make sense to call any other policy "hybrid", in my opinion. You're not actually working in-person with your colleagues in that case, so yeah it's functionally the same as remote work.
Unfortunately with journalism, particularly with filler articles like this, the outcome of the article is probably predetermined. I would imagine it's something like, "write an article about how employees are more satisfied with their jobs." It's not unlike, "write a paper about how Stalin's policies benefited the Soviet Union."
Likely, though for companies w very skilled (expensive to replace) labor there is much sensitivity re hybrid or WFH. A lot of Bay Area companies are simple downsizing and moving closer to those employees who will be in office. Win win

And wages? ...just slightly higher :|
The Economics just don't make sense for RTO. Now the question does it make sense to pay your labor those big salaries if you don't have an office, and instead are just paying for remote workers who could be anywhere on the planet?
I was carrying a shoebox with my programs in 5 1/4 floppys in at 4th floor of my library where the had dozens of Apple II e PCs. One of of the programs was Turbo Pascal. The first computer science class in 1985 was in Pascal. Funny I was just as interested on the teachings of Blaise Pascal and Pascal's Wager. Like many ones of my generation we wrote an asteroid program where an asterisk was printed in a for loop at a random place between 0 an 79 and produced asterisks coming down the screen and the user had to navigate an caret left-right avoiding the the asterisks. This was not part of my boring assignments. I wrote it and shared with my friends and carried it in my shoebox filled with floppy disks.

Happy Birthday Turbo Pascal. (TP means something else in the US).

It got surprisingly fast actually. We also did things like statically link it which drove the overhead of restarting down further (when the dynamic linker is a measurable proportion of your total execution time....), and I really liked knowing we had a fully clean slate on every request.

It just looks bad. You want to be MacOS? Actually go and copy it, as close to pixel perfect as you fancy.

I've personally experimented with replicating UIs using just a "device" object to a graphical API, so I know very well that it is possible. What prevents this project from just... going out and actually doing what they're trying to achieve? Take high resolution screenshots, carefully understand what's going on, and re-implement it.

The hardest part would probably be compositing (if they do it from scratch), but even before getting there, there's so much wrong already. This really does not have the same finesse of MacOS, has anybody even looked at the screenshots picked by the developers??
It's more than three years since most people started working from home.

a lot more than three years. remote work goes back decades before covid.

GitHub, Shopify, and Stripe all started as remote companies.

the really annoying thing is not the legions of people who believe it all started in 2020. the really annoying thing is that there's a ton of excellent literature on how to do it, and when it suddenly became mainstream in 2020, the newcomers ignored all that literature.
I always use virtual numbers.

Too bad that those are not so popular and only few banks activate the service (I believe it's handled by Visa or Mastercard).
Hotels.com (Expedia) also has an option to pay the hotel directly. They used to require paying Expedia, and then Expedia pays the hotel, and I am guessing it was to expedite receipt of commissions (since they receive cash immediately and pay hotel the same cash minus commission at a later date).

However, I think the integrations and payment terms with the major hotel brands have gotten good enough that Expedia now prefers to be paid a commission by the hotel. This benefits Expedia as they are no longer wasting money dealing with chargebacks and card processing fees.

FYI, typically, a hotel franchisee will pay 10% to 15% to the hotel brand franchisor (Hilton/marriott/etc), and if the guest uses a travel agent like Expedia or Booking or any of the corporate travel ones, another 15% or more to the travel agent, and then the 3% to the payment processors. So for a guest who reserved via travel agent at a franchised hotel, ~30% of the room rate right off the top will not make it to the hotel itself.

And that is excluding the typical 10% to 20% sales tax the guest pays the government on top of the room rate!

Well, it definitely was a goal post for many years—pretending it wasn't doesn't seem like a good idea.

On the other hand, now that we have chatbots that can pass it, its flaws as a test have become apparent. And as you say, it's informal, and underspecified in a way that wasn't clear when it was defined. But I also don't think it's much of a surprise that "passing" it doesn't actually mean what Turing thought it would mean back in 1950. We didn't have a good idea of what parts of intelligence are "easy" versus what parts are "hard".

Not any more than when I was in the office. Let's be real here - it's a rare individual who can do deep and productive knowledge work for 8 hours straight. All work from home means is that now when I take a break it's to do something productive, like a load of laundry, or really relaxing, like taking a walk, instead of trying to surreptitiously browse the internet for a bit.
I think you've missed his point here. What he was saying is that the purpose of college is only partly to give an education. The main thing college gets you is credentials and socialization. If what you want is just a good, broad education and you don't care about those other things, then the library is provides that to you.
Don’t forget the local economies that provide services for workers in those offices. My local city has given big tax breaks to companies to get people back to work because the business around those companies are having a hard time with everyone sitting at home.

Entire economies were built on top of office spaces and that upends a lot of things when they go away.
