These are good high level points, but personally I found the key one to be much more low level.

An employee saying I'm not following what you want me to do. Sure sometimes an individual is just dumb as rocks, but when I hear anything along those lines my working assumption is that I as manager fundamentally fucked up. Things should fail at execution stage, not at me giving instructions stage.

...employees that just nod and walk away confused on the other hand...that's my textbook definition of failing to "Learning to be managed" because it fundamentally robs me as manager of the opportunity to fix an imminent trainwreck.
Rivian is a whole other segment. Its more for people who don't really need a truck but like the idea of one. Their SUV is really pretty much way better, as the truck bed is too small.

I'd pay them a dollar to stop using cowsay as their example, but it does eventually get to the point: https://docs.dagger.io/quickstart/562821/hello

as best I can tell: It seems their innovation is that instead of having a GitHub Action in JavaScript as the reusable step in CI, one can build up company-specific "Dagger Actions" in any language the Dagger Engine supports, then invoke them in a versioned way that receives rich objects as parameters, ala PowerShell (e.g. not text, actual live objects)

# GHA way
jobs:
example:
steps:
- name: old way
uses: example/my-awesome-step@v5

# Dagger way
steps:
- name: Call Dagger Function
uses: dagger/dagger-for-github@v5
with:
version: "0.10.0"
verb: call
module: github.com/example-co/our-awesome-step-in-our-language@v0.5

and one may wonder, "but why?" and the theory is that unlike nektos/act which is a very, very skeletal implementation of GHA for local, dagger should(!) allow a local build step (or even GitLab CI, or Jenkins) that runs the same as GHA, promoting CI agnostic build pipelines:

# .gitlab-ci.yml
example:
extends: [.docker-dind-good-luck-lol]
script:
- dagger call -m github.com/example-co/our-awesome-step-in-our-language@v0.5

Note last column in table.
How would someone who is banned show “clear evidence of being reformed” if they can’t comment? Surely you don’t think an email is sufficient? How could you even tell it was genuine?
Then the AI would be the one making assumptions about your consent. When it gets it wrong and your boundaries are violated, everyone will just shrug and say "well but the AI said it was okay."

In my opinion, algorithms can not fix this. The developer needs to know clearly what boundaries they can't cross, and the only way for that to happen is if there are obvious penalties and deterrents. If Microsoft commits egregious privacy violations but it makes them more money than it costs them, why would they stop?
I hadn't even thought of that, but, my X1 carbon (which I've had for only a month or so) is definitely far less fiddly than my HP printer for printing anything besides basic stuff.
I think the disconnect is that rockstar made a lot of noise about trying to eliminate crunch after the nightmare crunch of red dead redemption 2. So if they are making people go back into the office to force crunch out of peer pressure, then they just lied.

This is a predictable outcome of the rise of scripting languages that operate on date strings or permit illogical manipulations of broken down time. There's something going for a simple integer epoch that sidesteps this altogether.
A British or Irish person might kick off with an approved weather discussion (appropriate with strangers, for the use of) opening gambit and await a sanctioned response.

Another option is "fork 'andles". The correct response is a repeat followed by childish giggling but the rubbish assumed accents are also part of the shibboleth. This one may be gradually dying out.

A final option is to surreptitiously start a queue.
Thanks now I want to read more of the books.
It sounds to me like they want more coordination during the wrap up period.

I see no evidence of demanding overtime or crunching. The article eludes to the "fear" of return to crunch, but nothing other than speculation.

The only demand is to keep the remote work, nothing to do with hours or anything else.

I will say, it is entirely unfair for them to force workers to return who under the previous policy moved further away.
We are essentially in agreement. I just don't think Mathematica is worth the money unless you need it for something specific like solving tricky problems. As much shade as you can throw on Python, there are lots more possibilities to use Python with SymPy than to use Mathematica. Unfortunately, the cutting edge FOSS math scene will always lag behind the commercial tools, as it is incredibly hard for them to get donations. I remember hearing a story about the developer of Octave (the most popular Matlab clone). He had worked on it for years and hardly got any donations, despite probably having hundreds of thousands of downloads and constant feature requests.

This is a little too rose tinted for my tastes.

In a high-performing small company, managers aren't necessary. Someone has to be responsible for hiring and firing people, but you can't afford people that don't get what the company's trying to do. If someone has to be managed, they aren't a good fit. If you've never worked at a place like this, or don't believe me, I'd recommend giving it a try.

In a large company, management is essential to the adversarial system. Workers can and should take advantage of the company's inability to tell who is contributing. Here management is essential to creating stress and getting any sort of productive output.

The idea that most managers have something to teach you, are good judges of your flaws, or can give better advice than you would get from a senior peer is ridiculous. These are great traits that you should seek out in a mentor, but to claim the median manager anywhere has them is insane. In practice managers you encounter in the wild offer none of those things.

Promotions, raises, growth, performance reviews etc. is all a psyop to get you to stay for longer and do more work. It's about what you can negotiate, what that promotion would signal to your peers, how much of a flight risk you are. It's never to incentivize good choices concerning how to hone your craft, get rich, or do work you consider meaningful.

It's not "forever", it's "for as long as we want to offer it", they can stop offering it or terminate you whenever, and if you go under any of these for 7 days they will "reclaim" it:

Fascinating. I presume you were born on Feb 29 of 2004 or earlier. What did the system do when you tried to purchase? I'm curious how the error manifested. Thanks.
This is a very good thing to do. Managers have to split their attention multiple ways across multiple people and so they end up neglecting you by default. They're also time poor.

You will actually be helping them if you can package up "asks" in a way so that all they have to do is hit reply on an email, type "approved" and hit send. There's often an asymmetry between the value you get vs. the cost to your manager which you can exploit. For example, where I work they provide financial support for certain forms of further study (e.g. master's degree) in certain domains. If one of my direct reports sent me an email explaining they want to study X and the policy covers them studying X, here are the details etc. etc. I will say "approved" pretty much every time. The money doesn't come out of my budget anyway, so it's free additional remuneration frommy perspective. Heck, even when it is my budget I often don't care because it's not personally coming out of my own pocket, and we lose that money anyway once the next financial year ticks over, so better to spend it while we can. But if they just sit there quietly hoping that I'll one day come to them with an offer for them to do further studies in X, they're going to be waiting forever. I want to give my team members stuff but I've got 50 billion other things to content with so I don't have the time to plan their career for them. The worst are the people who think I'm their mother and they come to me with "I want this thing, now you go figure out how to do it for me." The thing is, I'm lazy: I like to do easy things, and I don't like to do hard things. And that request sounds like a lot of hard work to me. Easier to just say no.

So remember: (1) If you don't ask you don't get, (2) It's almost never my money anyway, and (3) If you make it easy for me to say "yes", I almost certainly will.
> We're somehow doing worse than an era where smoking was the norm and cola contained cocaine.

Of course, both those things tended to contribute to either hunger management or calorie burn, but I'm sure that's not what you meant!
As a “slow thinker”, I am continually kicking myself in the arse when I come up with the perfect reply hours or even days later.

My compensation is to know the subject inside and out. When I am absolutely aligned with the data being discussed, I can absolutely spar with the best of them.

Downside is any context-based subject, such as sarcasm or politics or emotional/fact-free arguments. There is no way to master those, so my slow thinking is a permanent nerf.

> If everyone demanded spacious detached housing that had approximately four times the number of bedrooms per person, then there would be similar problems.

Even if you built that housing, let's say you are in Houston or some texan city with lots of space, it would fill up. Your traffic problems would be even worse of course. Luckily, a lot of cities are hemmed in by water/mountains, so the only way to build is up, but if you do build up (like in HK, which is a good example of a city that is hemmed in by water and mountains), your city doesn't necessarily get cheaper, you just get more people.

I just dont get the “daily” weather records thing. Meteorologists talk about them constantly but theyre completely meaningless right? who cares what this particular day of the year highs were? its just noise! at least do it on a weekly resolution instead but even that seems so noisy itd be meaningless.

sorry, this has nothing to do with you, just a pet peeve.
This broadly encapsulates the problem! :-)

Not an attack on your comment at all, or your choices.
I totally get it :-)

But the thinking around needing a car that does-it-all is a problem that needs to be resolved!

My Australian perspective:

Even if we ignored the climate crisis, our cities and metropolitan areas are not designed to deal with the influx of massive cars and trucks!

Australian roads are now seeing the huge RAM Trucks from the US!

I see RAM trucks on the school run, with one of two kids in them, then the parent drives it to work. The RAM trucks are spotless. No mud, no dir, and not a scratch. Never done a days towing or work in the Trucks life.

We don't have the road width or parking space capacity for these RAM size trucks.

At least the massive popularity of the Tesla Model Y, and lately BYD, over here gives us some hope that when people are given choices, people will choose compact-ish efficiency!

And then there is the climate problem...

Essentially, my belief is that we are all going to have to swallow the hard pill and make unpalatable choices. We cannot individually own cars that do it all. We are just going to have to inconvenience ourselves and rent a Van or Truck for when we need it, or god forbid, use a train or bus! ;-)
compiler != runtime

ultimately no code is free of side effects. this is a tool to mark code as safe and propagate that safety up the call stack to make your code's safety something you can reason about.

it's definitely true that if a piece of code is unsafe, you need to be more careful.

(not a rust programmer, but have had to fight the compiler when i first looked at it)
Yeah, I was shocked how many gas station are manned.

In Denmark they are almost all unmanned, and if manned you still pay at the pump with a credit/debit card.

Absolutely the first thing I thought of, I had to scroll down to make sure it wasn't actually from them.
Two things about this stood out to me:

1) the title is about how Strava uses your data, but none of the text is says anything about that.

2) "We will notify you *every time* you upload an activity that contains health-related data so you can update your selection in order for Strava to collect and process this data on all future activities." This is a new level of pushiness, even for a tech company.

As to why not to trust Strava (or any company) with biometrics: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/strava-military-bases-area-5..., https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/04/23andme-confirms-hackers-s..., &c.

I know you're goofing on it, and tbh I give more credence to MMT than most folks do, but most folks I know who think about MMT still acknowledge that if people believe they're being taxed to pay for things, they still kinda are. MMT is a guiding principle for policy, not something to tell individuals how their relationship with the state actually works (because most folks don't care).

“We” were worrying about misinformation far before those events.

“Misinformation” was pretty much a canned response to Brexit and the Trump election, neither of which were heavily influenced by misinformation.
Are they monthly invoices? Most billing systems will bill monthly recurring bills that have an anniversary of 28, 29, 30, or 31 on Feb 28. Maybe your system was actually doing the right thing and putting only 29, 30, and 31 on Feb 29.
Right-wing misinformation that can tip public opinion in favor of electing Trump or voting for Brexit. That's the danger.

I think the problem is that building out chat flows, sitting down with customer care and figuring this stuff out, iterating and improving the "if this then that" logic within a flow builder tool isn't particularly sexy work. "LLMs" and "AI" is though.

The cost of using generative AI to answer questions is orders of magnitude more expensive than using flows. Plucking a company out of thin air - Landbot [1] offers both flow and generative chats. For $100 per month you can have 2,500 flow chats, or 30 "AI" chats. That's nearly a 100x difference in cost. The risks are much higher too - with the flow builders if there's a sudden policy change or whatever then someone can just go into the system and edit it - with AI you'd have to retrain the model somehow. There's also no risk of hallucination with a flow based builder.

I'm not saying that Gen AI customer service chatbots don't have a use - what I'm trying to say is that in the real world, business would probably be better served day-to-day with just setting up decent flows in rules based bots. That's unsexy though - it doesn't attract tech talent, it doesn't get people promoted and it doesn't get shouted about in the press. It is, however, probably much better for the environment and the company's P&L (but possibly not their valuation if they're trying to ride the hype train).

The Relevance of Psychical Research to Philosophy (1949)
Gotta say didn't read foundation, but i like the show, really sucks that people don't get that studios will always need to tweak books for appeal or other reasons to make it work for their audience, it doesn't make the shows bad.

This is why we end up with studios not willing to make shows and keep them around the people that just get upset cause it didn't meet their expectations from books.
Updated the comment to be a bit more clear. Funnily enough, I usually get better than 150kw on EA's 150kw chargers (I assume because being capable of 150kw at 400v actually means they can do even more at 800v?)
An EV fire is at least 10x worse than a gas vehicle fire. Hybrid fires due to batteries are also misclassified as petrol fires. If you catch a gas fire in time it can be put out with a bit of water or a fire extinguisher. It is also exceedingly rare. An EV fire is not extinguishable, burns several times hotter than any petrol fire, may reignite for weeks or months, and emits shocking volumes of toxic gasses that can injure anyone around. Although the fires can't be extinguished, firefighters still spray hundreds of thousands of liters of water onto battery fires, and that water is polluted and not captured. The whole thing is a nightmare.

The possibility of EVs catching fire all together inside an underground parking garage in a high rise should scare the hell out of anyone sane. Sprinkers will do nothing for that, and all that heat could permanently damage the building. The gasses could suffocate anyone unlucky enough to get stuck down below.
> A better way of framing this is that the vast majority of people care about themselves and their health.

I have almost never in my life had a job where black Friday was a holiday, nor has anyone else I know. Sometimes I take the day off (because it's nice to not have to go back to work for just one day), but I certainly wouldn't say it's a holiday for most people here.
