Franchisees have very little control over anything.

They can't change decoration, they often can't add an extra employee on a shift, they can't opt out of promotions, and they often can't set prices at all, or are allowed to change them only within a very narrow range.

They run the restaurant exactly the way corporate decides. This is standard for franchising. It's just how it works.

(If you want to do things your way, you start your own independent restaurant -- you don't franchise.)
Parts of it yeah

There are some Google drive links with compiled art of the movie

2 years ago or so there was a push by an nft group with fair amount of money to purchase a copy of the dune storybook by jodo that they released to studios....

But it was not meant to be, you might be able to read of it on the web
>Just like the banks are regulated by FDIC so can be Boeing

that's a good example, because when the FDIC runs out of regulatory measures it can apply to correct a problem, they have the option of nationalizing a bank to reduce the harm that can be caused. like we saw happen this spring with SVB.

In that case nationalization isn't like argentina, which everybody in this thread seems ot be jumping to. it's a corrective measure to prevent a collapse, where the government takes over keeps things running until the assets can be sold or otherwise transitioned to owners who will handle them better.
Never read the book and had no problem understanding either
Seems like you are moving the goalpost (i.e., don't expect it to derive a theorem given a set of definitions and axioms from a non-widespread field).
It should, in fact, derive any formula given a set of axioms and definitions, but we can't be sure whether randomness fooled us (again).
If an LLM can indeed derive any theorem given axioms/definitions, even if we make up a field, then at this point it might not matter:

Ignorance is bliss.
I saw them attack empty buildings, I never saw them attack people. I did see people attack antifa, and antifa did not fight back.
Who do you talk to about stuff? -> Most age peers don't have kids yet, so I rebuild relationships with people I went to high school with that do have kids.

Do you have any time for yourself? -> One kid is not that bad from a free time perspective, but when you have two there's maybe five hours a week for each parent and it ends up being zero sum with two (or more) on one childcare.

Where are all the tech dads? -> Age peers in tech don't seem to have kids despite being the small slice of people arguably able to comfortably afford it. Mostly seem to bank up cash and have kids in mid to late 30s and slow lane themselves.

I wrote a bit about my experience being a founder and a dad where I started my company in the same month as my wife and I found out she was pregnant with our first child. Link here: https://rogerkirkness.com/founder-and-father
We were also polled at quite a big company with offices in multiple countries. Most engineering teams have teammates in different locations.

The results came out very comparable to yours, 78% against RTO but the company is still enforcing it.
> With a CLI you have absolutely nothing.

I kindly disagree :-): I would say that with the CLI you have the exact equivalent: man pages.

Just like for a GUI you have to know that by hovering the cursor about an icon you will get some text description, with a CLI you have to know that there are man pages. And just like a bad GUI may have cryptic icons without any description text, a bad CLI will have no manpage. But we should compare a good GUI to a good CLI, to be fair.
It'd be nice to try to build this with Cosmopolitan

I could see "@User123 has entered the thread" working in the smaller forums I was a part of where I knew everyone. phpBB/vBulletin show a "Users reading this thread: ..." list for that reason, and there were popular plugins for things like "@Foo and @Bar are writing responses to this thread". It helped make the place feel more alive, especially when you were in an intense discussion. It was nice to know the fker was working on his next big quote-by-quote debunk of your post.

But getting a notification when unregistered guests click into a thread doesn't seem useful to anyone.
Lead roof shingles?
I took a photo like that with a ~ 1 year exposure time. The patterns the sun makes are really cool, you can make out the moments with and without sunshine throughout the days.

My gut feeling of doing this for one year: 1000 years is just plain impossible. Not with something made out of metal with an actual hole in it. Maybe some glass capped ceramic to avoid water ingress and corrosion... but after one year, my camera was already full of weird goop.

> WFH and WFO companies are pretty different

I think this is exactly the issue. To rephrase: the biggest difference is management. There are different challenges of course, but the most significant is how to manage. Workers have an easier time shifting location. Furthermore, it's often more difficult to troubleshoot and repair bad management than bad workers, so it's not trivial to discover the source of the corporate problem when you flip your WFH/WFO setting.
Reminds me a little of D's official forums, which load faster than you can close your eyes to blink. I love these kind of projects.
The first time in your life that you learn that a project's code lives on GitHub and its documentation and marketing website are someplace else, you'll start looking for the website reference in the GitHub README or searching for it as a matter of course. It's really not that big a deal.
It's not just written in assembly, but it's backed by sqlite. Like many apps, IO is more likely to be the bottleneck than the CPU.
Doesn’t seem crazy unreasonable to think compensation for executives with that kind of impact on the company to take home some very small percentage of the worth of the company as take home pay. If they were general counsel of a $1B company and made $270k, no one would comment on it. The company is 1000x more valuable and much more likely to be involved in litigation.

Would $1M/yr at a $10B company make sense, $5M? What about a $100B company? How many of those are there?

Apple is a $1T company. That’s an insane size. Very difficult to easily reason about.

How much per year do you think Elon Musk pays his personal counsel? Bill Gates? You might be surprised…
Man how do you even connect to a db with assembly code? Are there assembly libraries?

In theory I understand it but the monumental amount of effort it would take to write such “simple” things would take so much time
> Bitcoin also doesn't need the approval of any person, police force, legislative body, military, or government.

That's only a good thing in dictatorships, not in democracies.

Additionally, Bitcoin is super duper easy to track
A popular user here on HN also had a similar revelation or sentiment.
We will see...
WFH separates good and bad performers but management is too lazy to take the signal.
Word of mouth, organic exposure. I've only used github search only for a few time aside from quickly finding one of my repositories.
Why should anyone assume there is a good reason whatsoever or are acting in anyway whatever in good faith?

It seems fantastically more likely that they simply don't know how to deal with the modern internet and are freaking out and alienating people. A small but very prolific and energetic portion of the population are rude little psychos spewing trash every time they open their mouth and if there is anything whatsoever different about you from their perspective they will heap abuse upon you.

Absolutely anything which draws a wide enough audience to your little neck of the woods will bring a certain amount of interest from the offensive set even when the community itself is well policed and functional.

Twitter is probably the best example of this because rather than one twitter there are are a billion twitters each centered around its own users preferences and circles. This enables social circles resembling malignant tumors to act as magnifying glasses focusing hate on individuals like demented children burning ants. Not only does it not do much to police such it actively encourages it because the boss is part of the malignancy.

Hacker News is the inverse. There is ONE hacker news and it would never tolerate posts of the sort you see on twitter. The only available venue for bad behavior is in the comments and generally anything really bad is killed quickly. It is certainly not a venue for alt-right trolls. That's not an incorrect statement its a malicious lie.

If after something is posted on hacker news some little psycho outside the venue of this website decides to harass Asahi devs that is basically both impossible and unreasonable to blame on this site. It's like blaming the weatherman for the rain. This is what the internet is like now. Nobody can stop someone from reading a link here and then getting on twitter. Submit potential solutions to your favorite lawmaker because it wont be fixed here.

The reasoning I've always heard (over 15 years or so) was that girls/women exhibit autistic traits differently from boys/men, leading to a different in diagnosis rates.
Sure but critics will say that is a poor plot in all but a few scenarios. Even seen here last week was the phone that fell out of the jet when the door ripped off and the phone was still on and in working order. So ya a movie plot could say the person was kidnapped when the battery died but no more lost plane crash movies or boats being lost at sea or people lost in the desert. And with the recent announcement of a nuclear battery the size of a watch battery that can last 28,000 years I imagine if they become commercial we will see those things adopted so no matter what you can always signal an emergency from your phone. Sure there will be some plausible movie work around but Hollywood will definitely need to become creative.
The idea that RTO is tied to real estate in a multitude of ways is not nonesense:

That damn cocaine bear is at it again
100% agree here.

With Remote, many things have to be put in writing, organized, and referenced back to.

Way less room for misinterpretation than the occasional drive-by chat.
If by "everyone" you mean "people I see on the internet", you're only seeing them because they desperately want / need you to see them, and your perception of their accomplishments is their currency.

If you mean people you encounter in real life (and they aren't inner-circle), they likely are just saying something, ANYTHING, to either just make conversation or give themselves confirmation that they exist and that they're valid. We're human, after all.

Just try to take it all with a grain of salt. There's no "correct path" in life. You get to define what success and happiness means for you, and you'll also never find a shortage of people who will tell you you're wrong lol -- but the most-free people in the world are those who unapologetically just "are".

Be your authentic self, dude -- do nothing, do something, who gives a shit!

Life can't pass you by if you spend it truly enjoying whatever it is that gets you off (even if that's "nothing")
Grammar nitpick: it is "a piece of software" or "a program" or "a software system."

You cannot have "one information, one music, one software" -- those words are mass nouns, or can be used as adjectives.
Depends. Can you provide your date of exposure and a equivalent exposure of yourself against a neutral background so we can average you out?
I have a lot of stuff I want to work on but completely lack the motivation/mental health/physical health to get into a consistent routine that lends itself to me getting these projects done

I'm in my mid 30s and my preference would be to sit on a porch at a cabin in the woods and wittling a spoon next to a fire with a cup of tea. But I need to keep my skills sharp to stay employed so here I am, sitting in guilt over the lack of productivity in my life and living out a tremendously mediocre career making one fourth of what I'd make if I ever applied myself
I strongly relate, and think a big part it for me is that most people range from apathetic to hostile to most projects that try to wrest any power from tech companies, despite complaining about the way they've been immiserated by them in the next breath. It's hard enough trying to pry even little bits of freedom or individuality from the grasp of all these moneyed interests without every effort to do something like it getting a bunch of random hate
That article will be an expression of an opinion which could be written today as well. Doesn’t make it fact. Tastes shouldn’t be discussed.
Why was a politician (Al Gore was former vice president) on the board of a tech company? I have seen this before with Kissinger at Elizabeth Holmes's failed company. I think OpenAI was also looking at a famous politician joining their new board.

Is there a reason TECH companies want old very-likely-tech-illiterate politicians to join their board? Is the only reason to be more cozy with washington?
To be honest I was in a similar place last few years, professional development was pushed to the back seat somehow, nothing was interesting to me. But then I started doing stuff for me personally - got a sail skipper license, a motorbike license - traveled the world. But after a year of having fun, I have to say I’m quite happy getting back to the industry.

I think maybe it’s because I’m getting into health tech, and that feels slightly more meaningful. Also FHIR turned out to satisfy my lust for exploring complex systems quite a lot. We’ll see how it goes, but my advice to all burned out hackers is to get a sabbatical - like a year or so - code what you like, travel the world, tinker with hardware, join a ngo, stuff like that, time does heal all wounds.
I see your position, but I've to say that in 8 years of rev.ng we revised many many design choices we initially made, but not using LLVM was not one of them, so I can't agree.

Rolling your own IR is not hard, in fact, it's very easy (and sometimes we roll temporary IRs for specific purposes), but it's also true that most IRs look more or less the same. QEMU's tiny code and LLVM IR, for instance, are quite similar. What matters is the ecosystem around them, and the ecosystem around LLVM is really great.

Anyway, every Friday morning 11:00 CEST we have the rev.ng hour, our weekly internal technical meeting. It would be interesting to discuss what limitations you hit with LLVM that we did not hit and your concerns about efficiency of LLVM and MLIR.

We used to stream the rev.ng hour and we're in the process of going back to publish some talks every now and then. If you're interested, drop me an e-mail! :)
Yeah I've actually learned a lot from Feynman about how to learn. I think a lot just comes down to acting like a kid. Fuck around and find out, but with more nuance and sometimes more direction or not haha. There's the old saying "passion is worth 10 IQ points" and I think these all are part of the same thing.
McDonald's prices are all over the place. Big Macs are expensive because of the brand name, but other stuff is remarkably cheap.
Using WAL mode with PRAGMA synchronous set to NORMAL, or even in that case? (I'm the furthest from a SQLite expert, just looking at it myself for a project.)
Basically nothing but yoga for the last 3 months. Seems like the only thing worth doing. Every book on proper yoga/enlightenment says it's the way to lasting fulfilment. So I'm prioritising myself at the moment. I even pulled out of a £350k job to do this. Time to get the big thing on my bucket list ticked off.
Are you kidding? That's an order of magnitude increase!
Yeah, egg McMuffins are like 5 bucks now. I’ve started making them on my own, which is actually pretty easy.
Yeah Im sorry, I definitely don't understand the significance of the client stuff. And it's on me.

I did have a similar job for 2 years (statistics assistant farmed out to help out on different grants as needed), but clearly not long enough.

I'm a bit flummoxed, though. I had the very distinct impression an IRB imposes certain requirements.

I shouldn't even call it an impression, you're aware of it too.

Like, an experiment under the IRB has certain tasks others don't.

I don't understand what I'm missing or what's missing in our communication here.

I almost called up an old prof to ask but any question I could think of, I sound high ("does an IRB supervised experiment have different requirements from, say, a city changing traffic light timings on a street?")

Are you just trying to say in theory an IRB could always impose no requirements other than talking to the IRB, and the IRB considered human subjects and say "go ahead, ethical"?

Note that's still a distinction. FWIW that doesn't happen in tech, no IRB, no reviews of experiments. Infamously this caused some issues at Facebook
It sometimes feels dishonest whenever an event is published in the news without having the typical frequency of occurrence.
My main thoughts on RTO:

1. No one work arrangement is optimal for all firms.

2. Most policies around RTO (or remote work) are not meaningfully exploring optima (with respect to organizational health and work product quality).

3. Therefore, the amount of preserveration and energy spent on RTO steals focus from main drivers for firm success. Which is probably the point, as the article points out.
These people can be found in many crazy success stories, survivor bias and all that. Can't fault them either, it worked for them...
Indeed, as I recall, government owning part of a company, not all, is a fairly common practice worldwide. It recognizes that the company is quasi-governmental, as Boeing is.

Is this "better?" I don't know, but for an extremely large, capital-intensive, national security-critical industry, it might be the least bad solution (and no, I'm not a socialist).
It says that the DB is SQLite, so I presume they’re just linking to the SQLite libraries.
The non-popular or non-widespread aspect of a "prompt" (e.g., "derive the geometric product given axioms/definitions ...") should be understood as a data point that it might lack reasoning skills.
As it seemingly parrots what most of its dataset "says".
For more details, check my other past comments.
Calling such LLMs "AI" seems to be sensationalism at work.
Typically github readme's are targeted at busy developers rather than beginner s as well.

They also include a contributor guide so I can see how hackable some project I'm using is.

I also prefer to use projects I wouldn't hate hacking on if forced to. So a PHP project has a much higher bar than aHaskell project.

Github and other forges easily allow this approach.
That sounds like a problem to do with employees rather than remote work. With a group of bad employees, bringing them back into the office means you have to babysit them with an adult, costing you money. IMO between deliverables, code metrics and the like you should just identify and fire these people regardless of where they work.
I am a filmmaker, and interestingly it happened before already. One example is that since cellphones became widespread, it's not very realistic for a guy to run after a girl in the third act of a rom com -- a call is now enough

This isn't bad -- it drives storytelling innovation
Not right now, but I was in that place during probably the final 2 years at my previous job. It's hard to say if that was primarily due to the job itself (I was there for a little over 10 years, but by year 8 or so I was becoming disillusioned with the company and felt like I wasn't doing much new or novel) or the pandemic (for reasons that should hopefully be obvious!). And I did have a few spurts of creativity/wanting-to-learn during that time, but they only lasted 4-6 weeks at a time, at best.

The job dissatisfaction translated to burnout. The pandemic stuff was I guess a different kind of burnout that I'd never experienced before, combined with mild depression over the isolation (fortunately my partner and I lived together; I can't imagine what people living alone had to go through) and inability do do most of the normal things I loved to do.

I think it's useful to really examine how you feel (possibly with the help of a therapist, but you can do a lot of this mental/emotional work on your own if that's not your thing) to try to determine if these feelings are coming from a true belief that this career/hobby path simply is no longer for you, or if it's more that there are some current conditions in your life that have temporarily made you feel this way. I've experienced various levels of burnout throughout my career and life, and I know during those periods I was very negative about continuing with what I was doing longer term. But ultimately I still love software, and still love building things with software, and I'm glad I haven't abandoned it entirely.

Taking a break -- consciously, without putting pressure on ourselves to do something, anything -- is I think the bare minimum to getting past feelings of burnout, if that is what it is. Sometimes that alone works. But sometimes you may need a new job with fresh people and challenges as well.

Regardless, I think it's important to understand and acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with you. This is an unfortunately normal thing that happens sometimes, when things aren't going well for a sustained period of time. There is a way out, either to find joy in what you're doing again, or to decide that you want to find something else to do with your life and time.
Aren't there like a thousand data brokers? I am suspicious any efforts to block this would be effective
Fair play. I was working off the links and context from this thread and did not think to look at anyone's twitter bio.

Anyways, the argument you seem to be making (I may have it wrong) is that you can dismiss Cate's article on agency because she also admits to be lucky. That may explain why successful people, both in and out of tech, are hesitant to acknowledge the role of luck.
Probably not Androids. I don't think any android supports sat comm right now especially after Qualcomm abandoned it's chip/radio effort so it's not included in most common SoCs.
Why internet connection? The more obvious benefit would be for local connections, e.g. to a NAS.
