> I believe that management is about 300% more efficient in an in-person environment.

I'm going to be a bit blunt but most of management in reality is useless, if not actively harming people under them. 300% of 0 in those cases still remains 0.
Awesome work would love to hear how sassy the GladOs in action!
Yes, that's got to be part of the explanation. What's not clear to me is why anyone gets professional credit (e.g., tenure) for publishing in a journal that is obviously bad.

I mean, sure, you can improve performance a bit by increasing the RAM/compute capacity on the Lambda. But it always adds a pretty steep overhead right now, no matter how much capacity you throw at it.

Justifiable isn't what's being debated here though.

That's a moral judgement and subjective to each individual.

You said "Israel started the 6-day war in 1967 that led to the present occupation."

Which I said was inaccurate due to the fact that Egypt shutdown the Strait of Tiran to Israel. Egypt started the war.
Sad to see such a cool project canceled. But looking forward to the new game! The experience and inventions made while working on Portal 64 were definitely worth the effort.
I think that probably works out to a single LTE carrier per spot, which is kinda brilliant, because then you only need to allocate a tiny amount of spectrum for this.
No. LLMs do not have memory like that (yet).

Your 'scary' examples are very hypothetical and would require intentional design to achieve today; they would not happen by accident.
User: in the sentence "switch off the lamp at 3:45" output the subject, action, time, and location as json

Llama: {
"subject": "lamp",
"action": "switch off",
"time": "3:45",
"location": ""
}

Where there is an empty parameter the code will try to look back to the last recent commands for context (e.g. I may have just said "turn on the living room light"). If there's an issue it just asks for the missing info.

Translating the parameters from the json is done with good old fashion brute force (i.e. mostly regex).

It's still not 100% perfect but its faster and more accurate than the cloud assistants and private.
This is one of those ideas that is so wrong that it is right:

> He reasoned that such particles, emerging from the surface of a star, would have their speed reduced by the star’s gravitational pull, just like projectiles fired upward from the Earth. By measuring the reduction in the speed of the light from a given star, he thought it might be possible to calculate the star’s mass.

>Michell asked himself how large this effect could be. He knew that any projectile must move faster than a certain critical speed to escape from a star’s gravitational embrace. This “escape velocity“ depends only on the size and mass of the star. What would happen if a star’s gravity were so strong that its escape velocity exceeded the speed of light? Michell realized that the light would have to fall back to the surface.
This is absolutely how you handle the tough spot.

They attacked her, but she, despite being outnumbered and vulnerable, defended and found a chink in their armor. For sure the smartest thing is to try to wiggle the knife, try to make the hole bigger, or at the very least more visible (lies reiterated, repeated). At the same time making the whole process painful for the attackers, turning the knife, knowing that they can't leave and need to stay and take it. Of course they would want to continue forward, leave the situation and repeat the same thing in another 10min firing session. But why would she cooperate with dishonest NPC?
Tbh I would prefer static pages over a spa by a factor of about ten. Way easier to work around the service provider to get a decent experience.
This is an empty phrase that can mean anything.
I have the very simple one. I can hear it across the apartment, because the spinning is noticeable. The actual washing is even louder.
Oh, it happens all the time. My closest friends got on assistance and then got dumped because they couldn't resist flouting the simplest rules.

The places where I live are rife with crime, vandalism, and disruption, and it always turns out to begin with people who don't live here at all. They're just crashing at a friend's place.

The people who do get on federal assistance are the most stable and trustworthy. The people they drag into their lives are not eligible for that stuff, due to criminal records, mental illness, really intractable problems.

In the other place I lived, there were raucous parties, vandalised fixtures, scummy people just hanging around. One Holy Saturday I was about to leave for church, when someone was stabbed and left a trail of blood at my doorstep. There were numerous drug-related arrests. Once I came home around 8pm to meet a cop with an assault rifle, who advised me to hang back awhile because they were raiding the place across the way. I was eventually subpoenaed to a court case because I'd supposedly witnessed some dude damage property, who of course didn't live there.

The recertification process is full of checks on this behavior. Currently, they have a questionnaire with essay questions like, "What is fraud?" "What is the definition of a "visitor"?" and suchlike, because people just don't understand the difference between a temporary visitor and a live-in roommate who keeps their stuff there and sleeps on your couch or whatever.

It happens all the time, and in fact it's often the reason people become homeless in the first place, because they dragged over their loser friends, for a shower, a meal, some games, to crash on the couch, and the family of this person said to stop bringing drama and crime into our home. So the guy gets kicked out from an otherwise good home, because they are trying to keep the peace.

I was on the other end of this, in fact; when I was homeless, I would sometimes be invited over, you know, to shower, eat, crash or whatever, and my host would get in trouble, because I was not known and hadn't had a background check, or signed on to a lease or anything. Couch-surfers are often living in largesse of friends who informally vet them and those friends often risk eviction, because your typical lease agreement (not even Section 8, just a standard lease) prohibits long-term "visitors" who turn into "roommates" without legally signing on.
>water-cooler social stuff.

I keep hearing this while at the same time seeing very little evidence for this.

Most 'water cooler social stuff' is absolutely pointless small talk at best that you have to often engage in to remain polite. I'd rather not if I could avoid it except for certain circumstances with people I am already 'friends' with.

Guess what I do with those coworkers I am friends with? we have a separate channel/group from official channels where we do that already. Nothing's missing there.
When in SF I used to cycle through an underpass that was often used as camping by homeless people.

One day I saw a little girl (10?) and her younger brother standing next to a tent, staring right at me as I went to my 6 figure job.

No child anywhere should be homeless.
Tracing is pretty life-changing when it works well though. It's worth spending some engineering resources to try and get it if you can, even if it's at a lower sampled rate.
Most people in the reddit thread I saw seemed to assume botnet.

I'm not convinced though. That would assume that the washing machine was opening an external port on the user's router, which seems unlikely. I looked up a manual for one of the the washers which has the "ThinQ" feature and there's no mention of UPnP.
That was not a very nice thing to say, it was an honest question asked in good faith.

Well, clearly if manufacturers want to continue making their machines less like they used to, they'll need all the analytics they can get to figure out which A/B tested engineered failures result in the lowest continued usage.

I have an earlier DUO model, one with the half-screen between the main and the keyboard. While shopping for a replacement for a laptop that had been dropped a few too many times, manic me bought it as a gimmick and when it arrived I feared it would just be that. I have found it genuinely useful in various ways though: during dev with various small utility tabs on the lower screen, messaging on bottom screen with full-screen video on top, smaller video and/or messaging on bottom with work on top, etc. Handy that you can easily turn it almost off too, to save battery when mobile.

I still carry a 14" external (USB3) monitor for when at a desk. The extra half-screen is still useful in those circumstances, though, just not as much so.

To make Windows11's taskbar less irritating (which it is even more so, if you can imagine that, with an extra screen under your primary) I recommend using something like ExporerPatcher or another shell improver/replacement.
The problem of the gradual, slippery conflation created by modern "liberalism" is between original openness and ideas that evoke good feelings are the only "correct" ideas is no longer openness and instead becomes a totalitarian, if not conservative, viewpoint.

In addition, the absence of mentioning issue A does not crowd out issue B or make someone against it. Nuance does exist and multiple issues can be important without being discussed at every moment.

Furthermore, to not be in feverous celebration of position 1 for issue X does not make someone immediately for alternative positions.

Finally, it is possible to discuss controversial subject, person, or work S without being for or against it.

I believe these to be some of the ideological nuances the predominant cargo-culted version of ignorant American university liberalism has lost through mission creep for competitive hyper-virtue signaling while losing touch with what principles and beliefs were important to maintain. Also, the previous generations of professors and grad students forgot to lead and transmit what liberalism meant to subsequent classes of students through action like say Bernie Sanders or Noam Chomsky.

I think it is wiser to reform the thought process by curious questioning rather than adopting or continuing to follow any corrosive ideological or political way.

Instead of seeking to fight enemies and celebrate victims at every moment, perhaps looking to persuade those in reasonable disagreement would be a better use of effort than preaching to the proverbial choir or perpetual harmony.
That article says 39 suicides and wikipedia says 33.
Evidence of it being picked up? Haha, no, not at all.

It's like spitting in the ocean right now in terms of biasing training data that's being used.

I've been hopeful that at least I might see results in RAG, but production integrations wisely seem to reduce the reliance on social media results which are an easier vector to inform.

It's more where I expect models to be in around 3-5 years once there's internal content critique and filtering that I think I might see some traction.

And just visible plain text, no automation.

Think of it more like seeding a literal logic bomb around the web specifically designed for future LLMs, where evaluation doesn't result in changing code (like traditional logic bombs), but in changing internalized reasoning and conclusions around a very narrowly scoped topic.
>there's still absolute value in returning to office

Value is often measured non-arbitrarily. _community_ and _networking_ are both arbitrary.
> A megabyte is a LOT of data.

Well it is, but in this Cloud Native world the clueless management and IT engineers have been convinced that single micro service running on 50 kubernetes pods and generating 20 MB trace logs for single transaction is normal.

Now once we have built this inefficiency industry wide nobody is there to wake the management up about huge wastage of resources. They are floating in this lurid dream of "ultra smart" machines generating gigabytes of precious intelligence about customer behavior for target ads

The value proposition, honestly, has fallen off a cliff.

If "they" can dangle things you really want (money, better lifestyle, interesting work) in front of you, then there is reason to get excited.

Right now? Oh hell no.

Entire tech industry is in the mode of getting rid of people, lowering standards, lowering pay checks, the work is boring and tedious.

It is reasonable to simply not have any motivation to work on or do anything if there is legitimately no "line of site" to improving your situation.

Or working on terms which you can resonate with.

The idea of going into an office shudder to work for people like WebMD on ... creating search engine spam content in the age of AI? oh hell no.

There have been times in my career where I was intrinsically ultra motivated and willing to overlook a lot of the toxic overhead that comes with corporate jobs.

Now?

I am really not enthusiastic or excited at all. The stuff that is showing up is all a step down, less pay, less interesting work, boring companies. I can't even get myself interested.

I know that when something that excites me comes along I can get motivated again, but after exhausting myself the last few years chasing carrots dangling on sticks I just dont want to do it anymore.

I dont know what it will take for corporate // work to motivate me again. I am not seeing it out there.

Sooner or later, "That" opportunity always shows up and I can renegage. Lately, no.

The way billing is done in observability offerings everywhere is so frustrating. CloudWatch metrics is such a footgun that I'm terrified when any engineer on our team submits a PR that includes them. It's so easy to accidentally 100-1000x your bill.

I feel like you're always left to choose between obscene pricing models and AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBeanProvider level "enterprise" configuration.
that is true, but consider two things:

- motherboards and CPUs have a limited number of PCIe lanes available. I went with a second-hand Threadripper 2920x to be able to have 4 GPU's in the future. since you can only fit so many GPUs, your total available VRAM and future upgrade capacity is overall limited. these decisions limit me to PCIe gen 3x8 (motherboard only supports PCIe gen 3, and 4060Ti only supports 8 lanes), but I found that it's still quite workable. during regular inference, mixtral 8x7b at 4-bit GPTQ quant using vLLM can output text faster than I can read (maybe that says something about my reading speed rather than the inference speed, though). I average ~17 tokens/second.

- power consumption is big when you are self-hosting. not only when you get the power bill, but also for safety reasons. you need to make sure you don't trip the breaker (or worse!) during inference. the 4060Ti draws 180W at max load. 3090's are also notorious for (briefly) drawing well over their rated wattage, which scared me away.

I got laid off at Amazon, it sucked
Not gonna lie, getting the news sucked...for 1 hour...mainly the feeling of betrayal.

But then I remembered by reality at work and realized this is an opportunity. Something that starts off a curse, can be a blessing in disguise.

As we all know, pursuing our dreams can be a daunting task, but for some, it's the only option. I chose to pursue my dream of becoming a founder, instead of getting another job after being laid off from Amazon. I invested everything I had into my startup, Creatr by Aeone, to make my dream a reality. I even taught myself to design the entire platform.

As a content creator, I realized how limited the tools available were for the creator economy. That's why I decided to build an affordable all-in-one solution that helps content creators and talent managers connect with brands and monetize their audience, anywhere in the world. Creatr by Aeone offers a variety of features, including creating a custom media kit, link-in-bio, custom store, courses, generating invoices, content calendar, and more - all in one place.

My vision is to help 100 million creators turn their passion into a full-time career by 2030. Investors don’t believe in my vision yet. But despite facing funding challenges and not having a salary for the past 8 months, I’m all in and believe that what I’m building will help creators worldwide.

We already built our MVP in 3 months and super grateful that I found the light out of the tunnel.

That's the American Dream.

Ironically, I think ensuring that people don't starve and become homeless during durations they are unemployed (which unemployment insurance/payments doesn't really do in many locations), is actually a good idea.

It'll be nice to move away from "work because if I miss it we'll be homeless" to "work because I enjoy what I do, and can contribute positively in the field."
