You are confusing memory with logical inference. "A is the mother of B" is basically the same logical concept as "B is the child of A", you wouldn't know one and not the other. Because LLMs are basically next-word-prediction systems they need to be trained on both pieces of text. In fact you could train them on logically inconsistent text like "A is the mother of B" and "B is not the child of A" and they would happily spit out nonsense.

Ah.. No idea then. Windows debugging not my thing. I do know from a discussion w/ a Windows user that loading the same app (Microsoft Teams) took over a minute to load on his windows machine on an HD (and locked up most of the machine while doing so) - I did exact same comparison on my Linux machine and MS Teams loaded with all caches flushed in < 10 seconds, almost instantly with caching. I've encountered similar with Hedgewars and Minecraft.

So maybe there's a real issue but us linux users simply aren't noticing it..

Another thought. Perhaps it is the sqlite db? Maybe a large one that somehow isn't getting vacuumed on shutdown?

Maybe try testing in a clean profile...

People of ex-Yugoslavia have a slightly amusing trait that they overestimate importance of their local history and its impact on the world history. You'd think Abraham Lincoln was picked to be the US president by a commitee from village of Crapski 113km southeast of Zagreb. This excessive pride in obscure, embelished and unimportant historical events is probably one of the reasons for animosity between peoples of the area. If they were half as smart as they think they are, they'd be long united and speaking the same language, like wiser nations such as Germans, French or Italians. But they're not, hence the hatred.
Let's completely discount remote pilots. There is no technology on the horizon which would solve the network latency or sensor fidelity problems that prevent remote piloting from being adequate for handling in-flight emergencies.

> Essentially, Daco adds, productivity has rebounded above its 2017-to-2019 norms, which he believes indicates that it’s “not just a quick bounceback,” but actually stronger than the prior trend—a positive development.

There's the quote that implies that return to office is not the explanation for this productivity rebound. Work from home is still far higher than it was in 2019, and so is productivity. While far from a smoking gun, this is more up to date evidence that execs who threatened to fire people who didn't RTO are as wrong as they seemed. The first executive who recants on their intuition that RTO would bring about an explosion of productivity above WFH will earn my respect.

My position isn't that every job that can be WFH should be, but that every person who wants to be WFH should be able to, and everyone who wants to work in an office should be able to. Even if working in an office is less productive, and costs the company a lot more money, and reduces the pool of talent, some employees still want it. Some executives do too: these people will be happier working together, so they should have that option.
$132k is great pay. You get to retire at 56 with a nice federal retirement package, plus an extra supplement to top things up until you are eligible for social security (which you're not initially, since you get to retire so damn early). Is it a hard job? Certainly. But I'm sure a significant number of retail jobs are nearly as stressful. And the union has your back, making sure you get a decent number of decently-sized breaks, overtime pay for overtime work, etc.

> you're skipping past the actual point

I skipped past that because that wasn't what I had expressed disagreement about. Though now you elucidate further I'll say I fundamentally disagree with your "actual point" as expressed. While I agree that systems of distributed trust are fundamentally healthier, they are an order of magnitude harder, and rely upon educating users. And some percentage of users will always be impervious to education — see the continued prevalence of phishing scams for example.

A system which relies upon trusting fewer entities is inherently less fragile and less vulnerable to exploitation. It's true that systems can be designed which rely on users trusting a large number of entities, and can sometimes result in a more educated user base, but they're much harder to implement and much, much, much, much rarer in the real world.
But not their only education - they still go to school
The mistake is the singular belief in productivity.

If you nail that, and the org doesn't want WFH, they'll just move the goalposts to collaboration. Or face time. They're free to retcon a rationale onto their self-justified decision.
Personally I counted over 5 emails I’ve received in the past year at work saying something like “great job staying productive at home- we’re just as (or more) profitable than pre-pandemic!”
And then later in that email having some rhetoric along the lines of “we’ll be working towards a return to office in order to make sure we’re giving it our best.”

It’s either one or the other- don’t doublespeak to me.
The Linux enthusiast community actively fights against anything like this because they want everything to be modular and made to fit specific applications.

Linux does have a de facto set of standards, they're not quite as stable because they change them and deprecate old stuff, but it's better than it looks, and with Snaps you can at least partially solve the issue.

But people choose distros that don't have those standards, and then you lose half your potential users if you don't support all the niche configurations.

> microwaves act only on liquid water

This is a common misconception.

Microwave ovens heat up a lot more than just water. They also heat sugars, fats, waxes, and can even efficiently heat some types of glass.

Microwave ovens work on the principles of dielectric heating, not any form of resonance. The microwave radiation causes the molecules to rotate back and forth with the electric field to generate heat. It doesn't really have anything to do with the bonds.

>The problem is that you assume that author must be a job, while I do not believe that they should be particularly protected. There will be less of them and its not necessarily a bad thing. If you wanna get paid get funding beforehand.

So you end with victim blaming? They can sell their art however they want, for whatever price they want. And traditional capitalism say they will succeed or fail based upon those dynamics. Theft is a factor that well, cheats the entire system.

I think it's ironic you have such a stance on a web site made for getting that exact funding. You think those VC's are funding stuff that can be easily stolen and produce no profits back for them?

I think that anyone who recommends Electron to a young developer interested in learning native application GUI programming should be slapped. It's the wrong tool for a specific job. That's a pretty niche use case to judge overall worthiness against, though.
I suspect the biggest issue with electron is that it leads to lots of devs packaging various V8 versions individually with their app. On windows they have been trying to get devs to switch to something called WebView2 where the OS provides an electron compatible chromium where unlike electron the resources are centrally managed by the OS.
The job absolutely can be done from India. The location isn't the question; the right person is, and the sort of people who say that are the sort who suck at hiring, and don't care. "Hire cheap labor."
That’s smart today. But it was always my perception that up until a couple of years ago, when all this ElasticSearch v AWS drama began, that it was historically part of some kind of social contract in open source tooling to use permissive licenses. This was just my perception of consumers of open sourced tooling, so your mileage may vary. Very recently it seems there’s been a surge of people noting acceptance of less permissive licenses, and in this landscape I think it’s more likely that a young Hashicorp would have opted for a license that didn’t allow IBM to eat their lunch.

This is really really ridiculous. I've never worked for a company that has releases every day, even every day of the week except Friday. That's not how it works. The most I've seen was 2 days (Tue, Thu) but 3 was fine if you insisted too too much. In my current company we have only 1 day a week release: Tuesday. No other day is allowed or is even possible without someone spending tons of time doing manual things that are supposed to be automated. Moreover, if your code is allowed to be released next Tuesday it has to be merged by 4PM this Thursday. I still spend 100% of my time working, including Fridays. Because not all coding is releasing, and not all software engineering is coding. It's hilarious that someone would think if you're not releasing on day X you're not working. Sounds like straight out of Dilbert cartoon where some management type thinks I'm releasing my code every day.

You argue that a 5% cut is reasonable and a 15% cut is not reasonable. You are haggling over the price.
You can also ask them to stop recommending getting your wisdom teeth out.

That's their cash cow, and they badly want to remove them even if there's no reason to. I'm in my 50's, and I got tired of them asking me "When would you like to book an extraction?" and I'm like... they've never been infected, never ached, they don't even jam my other teeth or anything. They're not going to suddenly start being an issue like that. In fact, according to the x-rays, they don't even have roots to cause those related issues. They are literally harmless, even if they haven't fully surfaced.

So... never. That's my answer. Prior to that, it was every visit, even to the point where the secretary would ask me "are you booking an extraction?" when that wasn't ever part of the discussion. This really annoyed me.

Once I finally told them that it's not gonna happen, they stopped asking.
Oh, of course. That's rather obvious on rereading. With my 5pm Friday brain, I somehow interpreted "broke" to mean that the doc had become available. Like a news story breaking, I guess?
I think that instead of this trains bullshit we should instead make the lag in the air travel shorter and invest more into CO2 neutral aviation fuel and batteries.
While this seems a little sad given the history at Murray Hill - and it's an absolutely incredible building to visit - hopefully this is going to bring benefit to Rutgers and their engineering department as well as the technology sector in New Jersey in general. As a Rutgers ECE grad myself, it feels like there's a special hub of exciting engineering jobs here, so I'm glad that if Bell Labs is making a move, they aren't leaving the region (unless the Central Jersey [0] argument is considered). On another note, if anyone is interested in the amazing history of Bell, I highly recommend the book "The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation" by Jon Gertner.

He's done a video before on what his normal process looks like, and its always had both the water spritz and WDT, so while annoying he didn't clarify, I'd assume he's still doing WDT in these results.

My completely unscientific guess is its possible that WDT is redundant or solving a different problem, given WDT wouldn't be breaking up much of the static charges between smaller particles, just mechanically separating larger clumps that are visible to the naked eye. Still very keen to see someone rule it in or out because I personally loath WDT first thing in the morning

The US agencies involvement in such events is a mundane obvious fact at this point. It would be a conspiracy theory for there NOT to be any involvement by the US in such a critical sequence of events against one of their major adversaries. That is a very naive perspective.

The so-called "Linux enthusiast community" is better described as the Linux corporate enterprise community. Understanding this makes your comment make a lot more sense. The "specific applications" are in fact merely the priorities of the giant corporations who fund the overwhelming majority of Linux development for the purpose of accumulating profit.
I don't know about others, but I can't help but smile when I read the detailed series of events in aviation postmortems. To be able to zero in on what turned out to be a single faulty part and then trace the entire provenance and environment that led to that defective part entering service speaks to the robustness of the industry. I say that sincerely since mistakes are going to happen and in my view robustness has less to do with the number of mistakes but how one responds to them.

Being an SRE at a FAANG and generally spending a lot of my life dealing with reliability, I am consistently in awe of the aviation industry. I can only hope (and do my small contribution) that the software/tech industry can one day be an equal in this regard.

I really don't think of myself as some sort of genius. It's not productive to feel that way. I want to believe that software is something everyone can do. But I just haven't observed that in real life.

I think it's folly to compare the intelligence of a tradesman to a software developer (or anyone for that matter). But there is SOMETHING, that not everyone has (or maybe just doesn't want to obtain), that's required to do software development at any kind of capacity.

Again, you use these systems regularly and presumably you have observed that they make classes of mistakes that humans don't make so you obviously can't make the argument that "they are just like humans", even though humans sometimes make other types of mistakes (at a different rate).

I have a hard time believing that someone who was shown a sample of these mistakes (somehow weighted by their frequency) would say that applying the word "understanding" to the system is not more misleading than not.
FUD. Women (or any other gender) can not be undressed in a photo. Only IRL.

What these software programs do is something else entirely. They refactor the photo into something else which is not the same person in a naked state but an entirely fictional work of "art". It is analogous to posing in front of a painter fully clothed, and the painter applying anatomical knowledge and imagination to add artifacts (or even nudity) that never existed IRL.

There's still a lack of any hard evidence beyond a speculative Fox News | Tucker Carlson | Sean Hannity dog whistle article.

The primary article of this submission indicates more that overall systemic changes from the top are the root cause rather than being entirely the workers fault; less staff, more hours, reduced training, etc.
Somewhat off-topic, it'd be cool if an operating system could offer different "input methods" for input fields (not just on websites). On phones one can have different graphical keyboards, e.g. for emojis, or to insert GIFs, or hand-gesture. On the desktop it's just the physical keyboard, but imagine being able to add a layer between the keyboard and textarea. You're on github and want to quickly edit code? Tell the OS to launch IntelliJ and store the output of IntelliJ in the textarea (although, I guess expecting IntelliJ to offer advanced code completion without checking out the git project would be too much of a headache...). Don't like WordPress' editor? Launch Word and have its output entered directly as a WordPress "article" (although that involves a step where "Magic happens", which this article shows would need a bit of coding...)

Of course the above might be unnecessary complication where copy-paste works fine. Already rich text editors on e.g. Facebook's website are magical, one can just copy image data and paste it and it would attach the image to your FB post/message, geez, we didn't have that in the 90s!
