> Is the positive impacts anecdotal?

No. Lack of commute is concrete and tangible. Even just from an emissions standpoint.

Decreased spending on office space is not anecdotal, but again concrete.
I would wager a lot of unnecessary Zoom meetings with far too many people on the call to be actually productive filled a lot of WFH hours along with refrigerator, TV, web surfing, and family breaks equals the deficit of commuting and walking to your desk. I use my commute to prepare for the day, not just drive or take a train, and I try and avoid Zoom while driving especially if I'm on my motorcycle! Make a F2F office meeting a Zoom meeting in person and have it record it the way you like it.
No, that's my point. You're projecting your definitions of "sane", when there are thousands of choices to make. Avoiding processed foods isn't "simple", and who has decided a daily walk is sufficient?
I'm skeptical productivity would play a significant in the decision in the majority of the F500's and others who follow their lead. It's logical, of course, but if productivity was a focus, there are many other possibilities that could be explored/implemented, which rarely are. MBA run companies are full of waste and inefficiency.

I think it does matter to you and many others in terms of your possible opportunities. If less companies have a policy that allows remote work, the companies that are even able to hire you are less and your opportunities are more limited than they otherwise would be. Fishing in a larger pond is in your best interest.

I worked remote for years before covid, but I believe the way I earned that opportunity was by working in the office with those same people for a few years to earn their trust. Asking new potential employers who don't know me to trust me like that I think would result in fewer opportunities.

This should not be surprising to anyone. Anecdotally, what I've seen is RTO is often being used as a way to save money on doing layoffs. Announcing an aggressive RTO causes immediate attrition and doesn't require severance packages. If you look closely, you'll see that play being used all over the place in companies that otherwise need to cut costs.
Not only that, but the judge found that the Board members basically had serious conflicts of interest because of their personal relationships with Musk, meaning that they were not independent representatives of shareholder interests in any meaningful sense.
Part of it is that there's just more of a tradition of keeping track of people in many places compared to the US. As a visitor staying in a hotel, you're shielded from a lot of it most places because the hotel takes care of it. But I was staying with a friend for a couple weeks recently in a European country, and they had to take my passport down to some office and fill out some paperwork.
I would like to see a study done of the relative costs of going to an office for management / execs vs everyone else.

My hypothesis is that for many employees, the commute distances are long, relocation requirements onerous, not to mention costs like childcare, etc that pile up.

I suspect thought that the management / exec class doesn't feel these pressures. They can afford to live downtown with minimal commute and may already be paying for many of the services that allow them greater mobility
If the information is on the market, then anyone can buy it, including the spooks. It would be super weird to say that everyone except spooks can buy it.

Is there a classic fallacy for dismissing the best available evidence as a "classic fallacy?" It is impossible to prove a negative; the best we can do is repeatedly fail to find evidence. So far all evidence points that way. GP's statement is reasonable and measured.

I don't think this subject's treatment is any "less rigorous" than anything else that gets discussed here. I believe you will find a mix of personal anecdote, opinions that are objectively contrary to best available evidence, and "rigorous" comments in most discussions here. This topic is not unique.

Confusing those two is a common misconception.
It's very interesting to me that there's such a formal official residence type system in other countries (not sure what else to call it).

In the US it matters too to some extent, eligibility for elections if you want to hold office, your tax burden for states that tax property and so on. But there's not a super official universal office you need to declare it at with lots of paperwork or validation outside of say the given situation it applies to. If I ran for office I'd provide my address and there you go, no complex validation, or if I wanted to pay lower taxes because it is my primary residence ... I just say that's where I live. Those given processes are left to validate it if they wish.

Bureaucracy is a strange thing. We get comfortable with what we know and we can't think of it any other way and it becomes a bit of a revelation when we realize maybe we don't have to do all that ...
A being with no time is unable to act.
That's getting a little convoluted. I still don't see how this substantiates that Intel 4 "has obvious difficulties in reaching high clock frequencies".

Intel is shipping competitive clock frequencies on Intel 4 vs. everyone in the industry except the most recent generation of their own RPL parts, which have the advantage of being being up-bins of an evolved and mature process.

That sounds pretty normal to me? New processes launch with conservative binning and as yields improve you can start selling the outliers in volume. And... it seems like you agree, by pointing out that this happened with Intel 7 and 14nm too.

Basically: this sounds like you're trying to spin routine manufacturing practices as a technical problem. Intel bins differently than AMD (and especially Apple, who barely distinguish parts at all), and they always have.

I think you're just trying to make a self-aggrandizing statement that everyone else in tech is so snooty, but no, not you. You're so woke and connected that you find it insulting that an author has the gall to try to educate people about a problem in society.

> A lot of the appeal of an immigrant is that they can't quit or take a better deal.

Exactly, the whole point of my proposal is to undermine that appeal. An H1-B program structured like I propose would mean that employers would only sponsor immigrants when they truly can't get employees with the needed skills domestically at the real market rate.

Actually, I do this when making a banana split. Cut a piece off the top and then slowly press the banana into thirds. Then, lower the banana, with the bottom part of the banana still intact, into a tall glass. Smoother with cream, ice cream and/or syrup. Makes for a solid banana split.
Some languages pronounce the date as year, day, month so some people write YYYY/DD/MM. Since both YYYY/DD/MM and YYYY/MM/DD make sense to different people, neither should be used.
OTOH the OP makes unscientific claims like

OTOH it's likely to be obvious to people actually in the environment long before it has a measurable impact on any kind of balance sheet

in a comment complaining about other people being unscientific. Personally, that's enough for me to discount the whole thing.
If I went back in time (say... 1991) and told people my predictions of the future, I will likely be laughed at for being sci-fi tech. For example, let suggest I predict that by 2011 most people in developed Countries will have a PDA allowing you to make calls or connect with people all over the world. Sure many will laugh at me.

I continue to say that these PDA's will be a 5" touchscreen, allowing you to play games. Games far more powerful than the Mega Drive and can play with your friends from anywhere in the world. The PDA has a far superior, higher resolution screen beyond 640x480 and can render much faster 3D images than the supercomputers of today (ie SGI workstations)

All of these claims.. alongside explaining what a PDA is, which you can fit in your pocket that wont need charging for 5+ hours, etc...

Even people who do see the possibility will likely spend most of their efforts explaining that their RC Cars don't last 30 mins without recharding the batteries, so this wont work, either!

Of course by PDA (Personal Data Assistant) - I refer to what we call Smartphones today.

Point is - I try to be realistic about future tech even in the next 20-25 years.. but I leave some areas open to being more "advanced" than we anticipate.

Yes.. contact lenses is a stretch for "next 20-25 years" but lets not ignore the suggestion. Young kids in 2040 will laugh at how we managed to wear these "heavy" VR headsets. Who knows how this type of tech will evolve and mix with other tech.
> Presumably they are selling their genetic data, but I don't get why it's not giving them a revenue stream. Let GSK manufacture the drugs using your genetic info, with a profit share for any drugs made this way. They mention a collaboration with GSK in the article, but why was this stopped?

In 2018 GSK made a $300M equity investment in 23andMe as part of a 4 year collaboration (with the option to extend for a fifth year) under which GSK had exclusive access to their data for use in drug target discovery programs, but [0]:

> All activities within the collaboration will initially be co-funded (50%/50%), with either company having certain rights to reduce its funding share for any collaboration programme.

So it seems they not only lost out on 5 years of developing their B2B business, but committed to covering a portion of the R&D costs over that period as well. There were terms about profit sharing on new developments, so it was a bet.

It doesn't sound like it worked out quite as well as either sided hoped though because in October 2023 (after the 5 year agreement) they entered into another agreement but this time [1]:

> Under an amendment to their Collaboration Agreement, 23andMe will receive a $20 million upfront payment for a one year, non-exclusive data license.
> [...]
> for a 12-month period, and [23andMe will] offer its research services for analyses of the data over that same period. Any new drug discovery programs that GSK chooses to initiate during the agreement will be owned and advanced solely by GSK.

I was under the impression that immediately-settled electronic transfers were Zelle’s raison d'être. I understand that it’s not universally available, but still.
Also, in the 90s we talked about tests as another indication of programmer intent. Since we couldn't get developers to document their code and "design as a practice" fell out of favor, tests were the only thing left indicating how the code was intended to be used.

The linked article is a bit wordy, but I think what he's trying to say is: write tests exercising the behavior of interfaces because you may want to change your implementation some day. The drawback of this approach is we don't have a universal way to express Bertrand-Russell-esque contracts on interfaces, so testing behavior when you provide "unsupported" inputs is rather ad hoc.
They are terrific. Thank you for sharing and licensing under CC.

With open source software, a lot of innovation (not all, certainly, but a lot) comes from companies or teams at academic institutions that are traditionally colocated. Lots of real innovation - or, at least, agreement on direction - has occurred at in-person conferences too. I don’t think this should be dismissed.
Can you use Solomonoff induction to prove the claims in your last paragraph are necessarily true?

I started looking because there were little things - he would not use his camera on zoom when the rest of the company does, he would only screenshare one tab at a time, he would not put us on his LinkedIn profile.

I looked around and noticed 3x more commits to private repos daily from his GitHub than commits to our company.

After confronting him he said people from his past companies must have been using his GitHub account. (Are you kidding me)

I asked him to solve it then and there by screenshotting and showing me what the private commits are. The screenshot had commits to two other companies.
Definitely weird, pretty sure that’s not what most people experience. But such is the statistical nature of ML; your particular movements on that particular sofa fooled it.
There is no law that states postdated check can only be cashed after the specified date. Some banks will happily cash your check immediately and simply ignore the future date on the check. There is no guarantee that you can always cache a check either. A check can be cancelled by the issuer at any time by making so called 'stop payment order'.
I never had anything against WFH and actually did it for three years straight between 2008 and 2011.
I actually think that anyone has different preference wrt in the office versus WFH.

I commute every day and I take 1h and 15 min one way due to bad public transportation. I could, technically, do everything I do via WFH. But I'm not doing it, and I get pretty annoyed when people tell me "why don't you do it?"

Well, it's my personal experience and in no way is meant to act as a judgment towards others. Simply put, WFH reminds me of when I was locked inside my house for 70 days. I was and still am an introvert but I found the experience down right horrible. On top of that I had a very stressful work period with often daily tense situations. And there was no real way to "escape" (I did, mentally, but I was close to a breakdown).

Ever since I was able to RTO I never did a single day WFH and I'm making sure that in no way work can get inside my house. If I ever had to remote work in the future I'm thinking of renting some co-working space.

Well, long winding post to say that yes, some tightening of WFH rules may be not justified, but IMO it's one person's experience and attitude that makes WFH worthwhile or not.

Believing in the existence of such a being implies that one is comfortable with the idea that something exists without having been created. People who believe such a being exists should not then argue, “If there is no god then where did everything come from?”
There's an expanse of gradation in policies that embrace "untalented yet hardworking" and "true meritocracy". It's not a binary choice.

> Until now! I dragged Fly.io into implementing them. Suckers!

Let's be real: they knew you would do this eventually. It was inevitable.
I disagree, especially for what the linked article is talking about.

Suppose a business or individual accepts checks and electronic funds transfers for payment.

Are they going to apply their prior probabilities (your various -isms such as racism, etc), in regards to whether or not the payment will actually be successfully received?

Whereas an instant payment and confirmation via the use of internet and databases alleviates this motivation to discriminate.
> obviously you can't WFH if your job is [...] machining parts for a space mission.

Machining as a general practice is quite well suited to working from home. Living in an agricultural community, which as an industry demands a fair amount of machining services, I have several neighbours who make their living as machinists working from home.

Until about 20 years ago you didn't need a passport to travel to Mexico or Canada. And passports only last 10 years so it is possible some have traveled outside the US in the past, but no longer have a passport.
The biggest Intel's problem is that a lot of good people left over the previous years of shitty management. Pouring money into R&D certainly helps but with wrong people in key positions the efficiency of the investments will be low.
yup. there are more examples than i can muster up to write. One more gut-wrenching than the former. The US calling anyone irrational is pretty rich anyways. After all, invoking the use Brainwashing in war after war, instead of accepting the existence of differing beliefs isn’t the pinnacle of rationality either. Neither is kidnapping your own people in an attempt to build your own brand of LSD-based brainwashing. Neither is infiltrating civil rights movements, going so far as attempting to bully MLK into suicide. Neither is spending your people’s tax money on 638 foiled assassinations of Castro. Neither is committing false-flag genocides in Vietnam, or PSYOPing civilians into believing they are haunted by the souls of their relatives.

none of those claims are anything but proven, historical facts by the way.

Time to start using an LLM to farm out massive amounts of faked computer-generated "human-generated" data about myself, then.

I've actually thought about something similar more than once. I think it would be interesting to have multiple accounts across multiple websites, all making posts and interacting with content across the algorithmic spectrums. That way, when mass-data harvesting via LLMs begins to become much more common, the data about what I think or believe is so tainted that it would be impossible to decipher a singular sincere ideology.
