In my experience, every scrum project I have been on became an exercise in satisfying the requirements of scrum, versus the requirements of the project.

I actually had multiple scrum masters tell the developers that if they finished their assigned stories early, and there was still time left in the sprint - don't start any new stories, wait until they next sprint officially started, because it made the reporting better to upper management.

People like that need to be fired.

Statistically this is proven false. Find the OKCupid research on women rating men (and the other way around) and you'll find that women do indeed rate only the top percentages of men (afaik top 20% or so) as above average. Wheres men rating women is more of a normal distribution.

There are good reasons to use different font sizes for body text depending on purpose. Hacker News' small fonts fit more comments on the page. A documentation site may benefit from fitting more text on the page. A spreadsheet benefits from even smaller text. The article is easier to read with larger fonts. I tried the article with your rule, it's just not as nice.

Then I changed around my "preferred font size" (chrome://settings/fonts -> Font Size). Blog responds just fine to it. Ironically many, many, many sites don't. It's actually so useless in general to change your default font size that browsers have a much more useful way of letting users have small or large text -- zoom levels.
Those quotes are completely made up.

The problem is that "men's problems" not only is not where the money is, it often brings up discussions and ideas that actively go against the prevailing politics. Any person has a short-term gain to be had in disassociating themselves with this topic.
That’s deliberate.

I have spent most of my adult life in a community that is extremely sensitive to dictatorial language, and I have learned to keep it to “me,” or (preferably), to “we.”

A big part of my editorial review, is replacing instances of “you,” with “we.”

I state stuff as it applies to me, my opinions as personal points of view, as opposed to absolutes, etc.

In fact, when I diverge from this, it tends to immediately draw (often justified) criticism.

I am also quite prepared to back up what I say, but it has been my experience that folks refuse to follow up on it; instead, insisting on continuing to state easily disproven opinions. They don’t want facts to interfere with the narrative.
So what is your proposed solution? I'd rather have a sociopath that is upfront about being one to me than figuring that fact out by myself.

Shunning those people from society seems like not an option to me, they are people after all.

I think normalizing sociopathic behaviour is something to be worried about, but I personally don't see that happening anywhere so I am unsure what your point is.

It's especially weird to focus on this completely normal event when, elsewhere in the news, "a Boeing whistleblower was found dead in his truck in the parking lot of his South Carolina hotel after he failed to show up for the second part of his testimony for a bombshell lawsuit against the company".

Were you in a parent or teacher position? Nothing those people say is good to a teenager. I know, I've been both teenager and parent.

Or to put it another way, they'd rather not interact with someone who has a "right" to have an opinion on what they do and maybe even enforce it.
that's very difficult when you have a trait that others can't see, and therefore can't be aware of or understand, and much less empathize with. it feels wrong because you keep getting confronted with expectations that you can't fulfill. and you can't see others that have the same experience. so you end up feeling you are the only one.
This isn't any different from the entirety of human history. The people in charge of the books write the books. It's why China does it's best to make the world forget about Tiananmen Square, or why in the early days of computing, only white men were shown doing the work despite the substantial amount of women in field (especially for things like ballistic calculations).

There is also a difference between error and purposeful misrepresentation.
Although I feel squeamish about blowing up pigeons who you have domesticated to help you (not that this is necessarily worse than what occurs in the meat industry, or than any of the things man inflicts on man during war), I really believe that this would have worked. We are only just now beginning to be able to approach animals' visual capabilities using ANNs, and that with much greater power consumption, more complicated supply chains, and less recyclability.

Likewise, given experiments in which rats drive cars (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50167812), and dogs who have learned to use skateboards &etc, I suspect that the self-driving car problem could be solved using trained animals and input devices well adapted to their anatomies. Which, however, would raise the question -- why not just allow children to drive? I digress.

I'll follow this with a more substantive comment. Science is a machine. To get papers published, pass your dissertation, win grants, and get tenure, there's an easy road and a hard road. The easy road is: "in conclusion, we found that lead correlates negatively with IQ, in support of the prevailing view on Pb neurotoxicity at low lead levels." The hard road is: "in conclusion, we found that lead correlates negatively with IQ, but correlation doesn't imply causation and the consensus view has some serious issues."

The article that the OP was written about is case in point. One calculation they do in their paper is the sum of all IQ points lost due to Pb exposure, which comes out to some absurdly large number. Sums of IQ points don't mean anything. It's just a sensational marketing gimmick. And it worked! It got them a national mainstream news article. Reporting their findings on lead exposure without the sensational IQ point calculations and commentary probably would not have gotten them a national news article.
Also saves some CPU cycles, less to encode/decode. Once you get that last '}' you know you're at the end.

> Once we got word of this research work and how exploiting the technique could potentially impact our AI products, we did what we always do in situations like this: we assembled a team of systems engineers, security engineers, and product managers and started discussing risk mitigation strategies and next steps. We also had a call with the researchers, who kindly attended, presented their conclusions, and answered questions from our teams.

Talk about making a mountain out of an ant-hill.

At work today I 'got word' of a bug in a meeting consisting of our top engineers. We discussed the issue extensively and were promptly able to devise a solution that was delivered to our products shortly after via our cloud-based code management system.

Otherwise, the missing semi-colon didn't cause too much issue and the every day stand-up meeting went well.
This was also my experience in the Nuclear Navy, wholly disconnected from software development. I was my division’s maintenance planner, among other things, and so I needed to plan when we would accomplish preventative maintenance on approximately 20 different systems. Planning was usually done a quarter at a time, but there were semi-annual, annual, and greater maintenance items you also had to take into account. Further complicating things, many of the items had specific plant criteria to be met (some are easy, like “the reactor must be shut down”), some of which would only happen once in a given quarter at best. Finally, if you wanted to maximize efficiency, you also should carefully read every maintenance item to determine where there was crossover, so you could use one to partially setup for another.

I made a huge dependency table in Microsoft Project, and generated Gantt charts from that. It worked flawlessly. A few key differences on the people side compared to software:

* No one insisted that I plan for the nominal persons’ abilities. If Petty Officer Schmuckatelli happened to be a savant at a specific maintenance item, guess what, he’s always getting assigned that one. Others would assist (nuclear maintenance is always a two-person operation), but getting the job done correctly and efficiently was priority one.

* I didn’t have to get consensus from a team on how long everything should take. This one is of course quite different from software, in that a lot of software work is novel to an extent; on the other hand, my submarine was of a new class, so there wasn’t a lot of institutional knowledge to fall back on.

* Accountability is actually a thing. If you say something has been done, it’d damn well better be done. If you make a mistake, there is an all stop while you convene a meeting of god and country to hold a retrospective (though we call them critiques). There will be consequences. Not career-ending or anything – it’s quite common to cause a critique or three – but you also don’t get to just skip on out. They’re not blameful in that the point isn’t simply to say, “why do you suck,” but they’re also not oblivious to the fact that often, a person’s inattentiveness is in fact the root cause.

How much energy it takes to digest depends on the food and the amount, not whether it's lunch or not, no?

YouTube does a bad job of real time takedowns of spoofed live streams. You’d think for big events like this they would have somebody just standing by and monitoring social stuff so that things like this don’t happen.

Then again you'd think one of Amazon's 1.5M employees would have the job of finding fake USB sticks for sale on the site, but apparently nobody has that title either.
this is probably exactly why x started doing video. youtube is so full of fake channels that it readily presents fake ones at the top of search results.

the x stream has been great and had a far greater reach (2.5 million) than any of the youtube streams by a factor of 10x or so.

> The comments in the article by the men are pretty clearly about them believing women do not deserve to be there.

Part of the problem is that a more nuanced discussion is cancelled on the mainstream platforms, so many flock to echo chambers which tend to radicalize its members.

It's absurd that basically any advocacy of men's rights will get you shouted down as chauvinism. Feminists claim they fight for equal rights, but then are not willing to take any men issue AND are not willing to acknowledge any organization focusing on men's rights in principle.
The actual attack is described near the end of the article—ChatGPT and friends send tokens as fast as they are generated, and the encrypted data doesn't mask the size of the token. This allows the attacker to guess the size of each token as it comes in, which they feed into a specialized model that guesses the word sequence based on the token lengths.

Mitigating this should be very simple—pad the token with null to some reasonable length before sending it, then clip it on the client side. This would result in slightly higher bandwidth usage, but not enough to be perceptible.
Like yeah both sides have to talk the same language if I try to be smart saying it will take between 3 and 5 days - and management hears only “will be done in 3 days” I don’t care and next time go with just giving upper bound anyway, then they start negotiating and I give lower one and then they are still not happy I did not finish in lower estimate… That’s like not my problem anymore.
> SpaceX just feels so much less impressive then previous major rockets

That's a you problem.

Again that's a you problem.

And if they are 'minor' is very much up for interpretation.

> Blue Origin has the same issue where they want acknowledgement for minor progress.

You are seriously comparing a company that has launched nothing to orbit with the company that has launch more to orbit then anybody else, including the largest object ever.
If you still use it, my best suggestion is to use a github search for 'path:.nix TERMs' when you run in to issues. It's likely someone already has that custom package, or an overlay to fix that missing compile option, or whatever else it is that you're looking for. I find reading other peoples solutions also helps with understanding and solving related problems.

I'm in no means claiming Nix is perfect, but coming from other distros to NixOS I really appreciate the ability to reboot to a new generation and then reboot back if I run in to issues. To do the same in Arch I had a bunch of 'snapper plus manual steps' to accomplish the same.

I had the experience of dealing with clinically diagnosed pshycopaths. One of them was in my school, a kid that was very smart but too rational, you could feel there was something wrong with him. He did not have real friends so he tried threaten people into becoming his friend or else...

He was not using physical force, but using his mind in order to plan punishing people rationally.

He just could not understand the concept of friendship, as he could not feel it. He believed everybody else was faking it. He was a cynic.

M-RAG: Retrieval Augmented Generation Goes Global
I have been reading opinion pieces in which the key message was that Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a dead end. I was not convinced. The combination of RAG, knowledge graphs and large language models (LLMs) is powerful and promising. And it is work. I think that is what scares many of my peers and colleagues: it is hard to convince management that leveraging AI means investing a lot of time and resources in building a specialist LLM that does a specific task well.

So I am more supportive of approaches that take complexity into account and address the legwork that is required to fine-tune the models and embed principled design in them.

I grew up in a very impoverished, but very proud area. Kids usually get their first job at 14 to help pay for their school food and fees (even our public school had fees for basically every elective you took - and you were required to take multiple electives per year... not very elective, if you ask me).

There was a number I heard years ago (after I graduated, and went back to work for the school district), that high-90s% of the students met the reduced/free lunch, but only 10% took it. My mom and dad paid for all 4 of use to have our lunch at full price even though my mom and dad together brought home under $30k for most of my childhood.

Even now, the school district actually offers free lunches to ALL students regardless of income levels, and again, very few families have signed up for it.
Well, it seems that equality movements have become near inseparable with shaming the generic man, and have gone beyond equality into tribalism. And this is true not just for gender "equality" either. All these movements, while originating from a place of good, have essentially become a political means to form cliques to grab a large piece of the capitalistic pie, where in reality we should be looking at how to take down traditional capitalism for the greater good for all.
I didn't mean to imply your own political beliefs, merely describe the character of the example given.

It is certainly the case that (in the old US of A at least) we seem to make a sport of trying to tear up our roads as frequently as possible so that each individual utility can separately work on the same shared space, to the detriment of those living in the area. Is that an ideal way to organize infrastructure projects?

No, of course not! It would be much better if we all coordinated to commonly achieve our shared goals rather than stepping on each other in a vain race to the top! Oh well, a man can dream.
Indeed, but I said ‘might as well not be’ which is not saying it’s not; it’s that companies treat it as not having access to the source.
