I don't really see this as particularly interesting. Doesn't mean they know anything the rest of us don't. They just want to capture as much of the early action as possible in the event that SEC does provide approval. If that doesn't happen, they won't start trading tomorrow.
I'm skeptical that this is better than starting to rewrite the kernel in Rust. It would be better if everyone can focus on rewriting things into Rust rather than having a choice of rewriting into C++ or Rust. Unlike this email, C can be converted into Rust piecemeal and integrate with the rest of the kernel. It's also in kernel developers best interest to start learning Rust, and getting them to start earlier than later will be beneficial.
Crazy how mad people get when companies roll out their software in their home country first.
> there is normally much lower-hanging fruit

Yeap, usually it's more about properly profiling your application on the CPU and memory dimensions, occasionally instrumenting if necessary, experimenting different measurements and tools to have a good picture of your software bottlenecks and where there are gains.

Knowing the full picture and where the issues are you can then proceed to these specifics of optimizing your code for performance in these spots, or using a specific library that solves better that problem or what is usually an approach that gives better gain, rethinking knowing the limitations and finding a better design for the problem that part of the code is trying to solve.
Beyond the fact that mangers don't care, there are many, many businesses with zero commercial real estate holdings outside of a fairly short term lease (which is a sunk cost regardless) who also promote RTO. The argument that all these businesses care less about their core business than they do about their (often non-existent) commercial real estate holdings seems tenuous at best.

Feels like we keep trying to look for a conspiracy when in reality that answer might just be that leaders believe their teams to be more productive in office

(Note: I'm not saying I believe this to be true, that there's evidence for this, that it's right, or anything else along those lines. Just that the most plausible explanation is that people asking for RTO believe it's going to make the company more valuable, not their commercial real estate holdings.)

I think the explicit political messaging in shows goes hand-in-hand with writing quality.

If you give writers complete creative control to write what they want, you will have scripts that are lazy and full of pet topics.

Star Trek TNG covered a lot of very political topics, but with a coyness that was earned. Compare that with modern Star Trek and it's... so on the nose.
>“We mean business” or “don’t mess with us,”

Here is another fitting quote

For some reason, I always picture Coneheads: "CONSUME MASS QUANTITIES". A ridiculously silly sketch, but even my pre-teen self caught the satire.
I didn't know that. The error message is from Cloudflare so I think you definitely have a point. Thanks for mentioning.
I have worked in remote-first organizations for more than 15 years, mostly at technology companies, both as an individual contributor and a manager. By dint of my role, I also get to meet with companies of all different sizes all over the country and see companies who are fully remote, hybrid, and fully on-premise. I have literally talked with hundreds of companies across the world and got to observe the differences.

There are some leaders who simply can't function in a remote environment. However, this is a flaw of their leadership and the organizational culture, not a problem with employees or their preferences. It is a problem with personal fear, inflexibility, and lack of vision more than anything else. My experience is that the older people are and the longer they have worked at a company, the more issues they have with remote work.

We proved during COVID that we can function just fine remotely. It benefits the employees in a hundred different ways. An organization that wants people to come to work at their detriment is one that doesn't value their people, and this is how they are expressing it.
Menace, sarcasm, shame and contempt can be presented as friendly but still have the same effect.

Here is an incomplete list of items that might fall into this list:

- The opening frame of the video, indicating no one is there because everyone is in person

- "Unfortuately, too big of a group hasn't returned"- "We need you ready and present and we need it now". Both of these indicate the employees that are working remotely are not pleasing to the senior leadership staff -- and whether they were performing well or not doesn't seem to be addressed by that same senior leadership staff. It also seems to imply the employees weren't 'ready and present' up to this point.

- The background music (which is either tone-deaf to the message or downright menacing). Iko-iko (the song) has a meaning.
I'm old. I barely engage with "normal" social media and thus TikTok and its appeal are an absolute mystery to me. All the TikTok trends - the dances, the "icebergs", side-by-side video "responses", and now "sludge" videos - feel like communications from an Alien race. Heck, I still feel slightly annoyed when I see a vertical video of any kind.

I guess this is how my parents felt about the internet and video games.
My guess is they are using Embeds to efficiently search a larger corpus of data and picking some data sources that then get injected into the system prompt.

That's how I'm doing it for myself and how many other companies are doing it to enable doc interaction, etc.

Edit:
Wish I knew the term RAG (comment next to me mentions it) before going down a rabbit hole of trial and error with the limited amount of info on Embeds

No, I don't have a specific cite. But the reason for offshoring is always going to be about lower total costs, of which labor is a large component. There are quite a lot of regulations around labor and benefits, along with the NLRB which is very tilted towards the interests of unions. California recently passed a law where the wages of fast food workers are set by some government board.
Top of the muffin to you!!!
Haidt is referring to the heckling and deplatforming of speakers on (US) university campuses because some group disagrees with their message. And one aspect of "safetyism" invoked to that end is claiming that to allowing said (lawful, non-inciting) speech itself per se makes students "feel unsafe", aka the "words are violence" trope Haidt mentions frequently. See e.g. 2016 NYU The Forum: "Right to Say: Freedom, Respect, and Campus Speech" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTU3hxgr2Kc

(As to to who ultimately has agency in inviting/platforming/deplatforming/protesting/canceling speakers on US campuses, that's a very long-running story, can involve media, donors, boards of regents, not just the students etc. But yes, noone's compelling the students to attend and listen, and in any case they can speak in response.)

A 2020 article on "safetyism" as defined by Haidt and Lukianoff in their book, The Coddling of the American Mind: “Safetyism refers to a culture or belief system in which safety has become a sacred value, which means that people are unwilling to make trade-offs demanded by other practical and moral concerns.”

>>> there were books that argued that humans had evolved to be intrinsically warlike

Let find the point in human history where the threat of physical and sexual violence wasn't massive relative to now? We have rules for fucking war because with out them we will rape, pillage and salt the earth in our wake. We raped and murdered our nearest cousins (neanderthals and denisovans) into extinction. We are war like, the dominant monkey gets to reproduce...

> So if you want to eat meat, knock yourself out, but don't do it because you imagine a caveman did it.

You got it. Sorry everyone. Still working on it.
> Now, you go to zoom.com, or messenger.com, or open.spotify.com, or docs.google.com.

The web was designed for documents and form. Everything else feels like rudimentary solutions which barely get to what native desktop UI is capable of. And the latter is better designed. Web apps are ok if you want a good enough solution (good for business, I guess) but worse for customers.

Most people use only a handful of tools, and only on few devices. Trying to build something to work for everyone result in something that is worse than a solution crafted for that particular platform.
> Unlike this email, C can be converted into Rust piecemeal and integrate with the rest of the kernel.

Did you read the entire email? Here's a quote that seems to directly contradict you:

> converting C code to Rust isn't something that can be done piecemeal, whereas with some cleanups the existing C code can be compiled as C++.

As far as I can tell, the author is correct. What is the pattern for converting C to Rust piecemeal?
The new Echo show might be a good opportunity for a more 1:1 comparison.
> Skill issue. What you intend as "clear" has an aggressive tone.

That's one of the things I find weird about English. Just saying what you want in a straightforward way is considered "rude" or "aggressive", and you have to add tons of those bullshit expressions like "please", "would you mind", typically at least two or three of them in a single sentence. What a waste of time....
Yes.

AMD's next big APU, Strix Halo, has 256-bit wide memory. This could be super useful for a system like that.
EDIT: I failed to notice the date stamp, you can ignore this.

Jeeze. Linus writes like C++ killed his dog or something.

There's plenty of great C++ 'wins' over C that make just doing everyday programming tasks so much easier and simpler for no cost.

You don't need to write so abstract and in the clouds that it becomes impossible to maintain - I certainly don't.

And frankly, you can shoot yourself in the foot just as easily with C, just in different ways.

To be clear: I'm not saying the kernel needs C++, I'm not qualified to write on that specifically. But I am saying C++ is not nearly as bad as he makes it out to be.

I've seen a rust database tui that looks nuts. Was developed around the same time I made mine.

But if people still like benefits of Go then yeah honestly a rewrite from scratch might be better. Its not that hard just takes a while - query entire DB into data structure and then write serialization routines. The UI portion is just bubbletea and gum.

To shift tacks, that's the sort of response I was talking about in the root comment. It's all about having fun flexing ridicule (the contempt and shame I was talking about earlier).

I understand that it's for laughs - and I got some enjoyment your comment - but I also think it tends to cross over into 'real life'. It's used (maybe not by the parent, but by many) as a substitute for actually examining the merits, being open-minded, curious, learning.

Under these social 'rules', if we can ridicule it, shame it, that's the end of the discussion. It crowds out people who are atypical, and who are inventive and challenging the norms and the estabilishmen (in whatever place they are). It creates a very conservative culture.

To riff on: I think people have become much less expressive, much more afraid of ridicule, as social media has enveloped our lives. When the whole world wouldn't see, it didn't matter much if you took a chance with how you dressed that day.
"I received what would be a final email from Cooks Venture: The company was ceasing operations immediately ... What would become of the chickens? There were perhaps a million of them in contract farmers’ barns across Arkansas. And what would become of the Cooks Venture Pioneer breed in general ... Soon I heard reports from the Ozarks that state officials were working to “depopulate” the chicken houses with foam, in some cases without permission from the farmers who owned the barns. So far, it doesn’t seem like anyone has been tasked with the responsibility for cleaning up the carcasses, which prompted a state senator to appeal to the governor to declare a state of emergency."

Using them that way is unethical though, to an ethical country that tries to do the right thing for its citizens they are a net drain. No country can handle the burden of doing that for the entire world, so it isn't unethical to tell countries to take care of their own instead of dumping them at your country.
it really depends on what you work on...

Part of it is that Netflix is trash.

There is no benefit for Netflix to make great shows. They don't need to attract new viewers.

In fact, high quality shows with intricate and difficult story lines are a detriment to the slow drip sugar dose Netflix wants to give its viewers so they keep hitting "Play Next" and spending hours on their platform.

A good quality show is hard to get into but its also hard to keep binge watching it.

You take a piece and either rewrite it yourself or use a transpiler that produces potentially unsafe Rust code which you then later would want to rewrite into safe Rust code.

I found the article a bit puzzling as it made the researchers seem almost panicked about the neuroethical part. This was either: (1) a journalistic technique (2) the capabilities are progressing far faster here than I have seen, and the article didn't really do a good job of going into it.

I would like it to be based on real progress, but I don't think the article really described the recent progress well.

Oh, absolutely, this trick absolutely only works well for specific types of apps. You need it to be relatively self-contained, and not need to be reflected elsewhere if the user clicks around, or it's worse than just giving the user a "submitted. check back soon" message, in which case doing it "properly" is best.

Mastodon type apps are absolutely the best case scenario for this type of thing, because "everything" is async.
That certainly explains why various different chemicals are actually incredibly effective at treating various serious mental disorders.

Clearly years of study and scientific evidence are "100% stupid quackery".

Believe you me, it is clear that this attitude and perspective comes from the Reagan era moralizing that did (and continues to do) a real number on our society.

I am so hopeful that some of the stigma is seeming to dissolve and the war on drugs is starting to be recognized for the farce that it is. This will enable real research to be done about mind altering chemicals and the profound effects they have. From dissociative experiences to psychedelic experiences there is an entire frontier of new research to be done now that we are beginning to free ourselves from the hand-wringing of the last century
So estimating the lifetime of the battery at 5000 cycles and lets say round trip efficiency at 95% we end up with $0.082 / kWh. (EDIT: originally I claimed $0.074 which is wrong) that the battery adds.

So I'm guessing in the long run this will considerably lower the cost of electricity on the island as adding PV capacity is much cheaper than keeping a coal plant running and this battery allows to install much more and use the energy at night. Not sure whether Hawaii has much wind power but it would seem to be rather windy place.
Putting multiple videos together also helps avoid copyright strikes - another reason this kind of content gets more popular. At least until copyright algorithms catch up I guess.
So, they shut down a coal plant to rely on...another coal plant for power generation. How exactly did it 'replace' the last coal plant?
I assume the batteries came from China. In 2023 China installed more solar energy capacity than the rest of the world combined.
Unless Hawaii was mining their own coal beforehand, I doubt they're losing anything here.
It doesn’t coincide, as the coal plant shut down in 2022, more than a year before this storm.
