Motorcycles and bicycles turn with the same principle: countersteering.

When I started riding motorcycles, I bought a well-known motorcycling book. It had a whole chapter on countersteering because there are even today many seasoned motorcyclists who don't believe or understand that you turn using countersteering.

Florida Is on Its Way to Banning – and Criminalizing – Alternative Meat

I find this type of argument about RTO to be pretty poor. I think it’s pretty lazy to crank out a vibes based article describing specific grievances and generalizing to an entire population. I think the real discussion about RTO, pro or con, is a lot more nuanced, and this type of argument does a disservice to the complexities.

In my experience, a lot of the compelling arguments I’ve heard are actually complaints about poor North American city design, rather than necessarily anti-being in a reasonable office.
Fair point. But putting on my user hat, that Smart Paste sounds pretty handy if it works half decently. I'm thinking CRM entry use cases and the like.
On a related note, in 2002, Paul Graham arguably invented (IIRC) the spam filtering that is now commonly in use. While email spam still exists today, it was way, way, way, way worse before Gmail introduced bayesian spam filtering around that time. Today it's an occasional amusement. In those last days before spam filtering got a lot better it was reaching the point of seriously making it difficult to use email because the majority of your inbox was spam.

The crazy part is it's really just this simple bayesian approach that solved like 95% of the problem. Simple math that already existed. Stuff that can be explained to a high schooler. No new crazy ML/AI, none of that. Just someone stepping back and pointing out "hey, I think we can use this tool here...."

There was a lot more lower hanging fruit in those days.

I was hoping they officially partnered with NVIDIA in that effort, perhaps eventually even replacing the proprietary one on Linux. But then I awoke from that dream, it's less exciting. Still cool though.

Unfortunately Linux Desktop still seems to be too irrelevant for NVIDIA. All current drivers have issues with suspend, multiple displays and Wayland among other things.

Unlikely unless you live in the southern hemisphere. Nodal lock is now rare in the northern hemisphere because Arctic sea ice is very low, which is required to stabilize the polar jet stream and keep the cold in the north. This causes weather/climate to become highly variable in the northern hemisphere.

Long term, I would look to areas like southern Chile and Tasmania because Arctic and Subarctic areas will increasingly experience forest fires, tundra collapse, and highly variable temperatures.
I do somewhat doubt that. `no_std` Rust is still quite different from normal, userspace Rust. You don't get all the fancy libraries or whatever (of course Linus would probably just veto them anyway) and the Linux kernel development model is probably quite different (IIRC no cargo and whatnot).

So… what should we reckon? Would there a difference in getting new developers into `no_std` Rust in the kernel, and how different would that be versus having people learn freestanding C, with all the kernel add-ons and nicknacks?
Exactly.

Poster was presenting cars and public transport as the only two options, and complaining that one has been made worse without improving the other.

That completely misses the fact that there is in fact a third option that has been greatly improved, even if poster doesn’t like it.

I would consider treadmills known to exist as early as 4000BC as an early step towards bicycles. Commonly used for grinding wheat or moving water - possibly even cranes. There both gearing and leg power interact - just gotta apply the force to a set of four wheels and you're halfway there.

I have worked on and around systems with an order of magnitude more data and a single node failing did not matter. We weren't using btrfs anyway (for data drives) and it definitely was not cheap. But storage never is.

But again, most systems are not like that. Kubernetes cluster nodes? Reimage at will. Compute nodes for vms backed by SAN? Reimage at will. Btrfs can actually make that reimage faster and it's pretty reliable on a single flash drive so why not?
I've been running a public file server[0] on a 1994 vintage PowerBook 540c running Macintosh System 7.5 using the HFS file system on an SD card (via a SCSI2SD adapter) for like 400 hours straight this month, with zero issues.

Not once would I even insinuate that after my 400 hours of experience, HFS is a file system people should rely on.

100 hours says nothing. When I read your comment I just assumed that you had typoed 100 machine-years (as in running a server farm) as that would have been far more relevant.

Also though, this is a gross gross mis-optimization. Every tenant having to carry their own runtime is a huge cost penalty. That it's a much less cost? Fine great wonderful, yeah. But there should be much much much more ability to share runtime & ideally modules too. V8 isolates & wasm sandboxed modules hopefully can deliver on a thicker runtime, but which doesn't require each tenant to host the world themselves. That is never going to be fast or good or to your scale-to-zero advantage. We can should & must explore better.
Rusts extremely heavy bias towards statically compiled binaries is also a notable major major major cross-roads here. The rust/ tree in Debian is big and heavy, tons of stuff. But unlike the entire rest of Debian it's entirely & purely -dev packages. Because Rust truly has zero interest in participating in conventional well managed shared library systems. I-caches & broad system updating be dammed: recompile & reduplicate the world, I guess, if you believe rust.

Very very very interested to see what happens with this fanaticism as it faces it's new challenge, WASI. I can think of no language less competent & less disposed to WASI librarification than Rust.

If you work in a cubicle farm you are not making the big bucks, meaning that your house is probably not that big and comfortable. I prefer going to the office because there I have a big desk with multiple monitors and a powerful desktop computer, a set up that I really can't afford at home without sacrificing precious space. Sure, if you work at Google you can a afford a nice big home with a dedicated WFH space and you might rightly feel that going back to the office is a downgrade, but that's not for everyone.
This is great. Thanks for the link.

I'm just starting to learn about tree-sitter but my understanding is that it can also handle nested syntax, for example code in documentation html pages. Does sg support this a well?

> It reads nonzero when you are standing on Earth because of electromagnetic repulsion between your atoms and the atoms in the floor.

It works because there's an external force pushing on the surface of the phone, and not equally on all its parts, which is the scenario we are discussing.

> Because the acceleration sets up internal forces in the object that result in a different equilibrium from the one it was in while it was freely falling.

And the cause of this is what you fail to explain.
Massive quantities of evidence exist demonstrating that human beings have at least some capacity to believe that they have concern for the well being of other humans.

Prime example: do you remember that big pandemic a few years ago? Do you remember how passionate most people were that everyone should go get their vaccinations, to protect each other? I sincerely think that these people genuinely believed that the feelings they were experiencing were sincere, and human belief even if non-genuine is an incredibly powerful force, maybe even the most powerful of all forces.
Well, exactly?

I personally have really not had this experience - especially given that a lot of companies in tech seem to have landed on either remote or hybrid (3 days in two days optional). I also think that this is fundamentally a city design issue (expenses, time, mental health), rather than a work issue.
That should be “cue”
Bunch of bs and conjectures strung into a fluff piece. There is no way to construct best teams while concentrated into 1 physical place. It's impossible, especially when looking to build a distributed team on 24hrs. You can get a few people to work together but for full 24/7 coverage wfh distribution is best. Easier to hire and replace workers, consequently.

I think most people are aware of the occasional contributions from the behemoths. Sometimes, entire projects. But charity is not a sustainable business model.

ELI5: Why does direct banking not work in America?
Looks like i’m in one of those minorities who like going to office. My major point is those spontaneous interactions that i have with my colleagues that gives me a lot of ideas. With work from home all those are gone. Hate commuting to office. An ideal world would be walk to office and have a hybrid model like 2-3 days in office for me.
Completely agree; I think an argument can be made that there are a lot of benefits to in-person interaction. Most anti-RTO arguments I’ve seen boil down to “I don’t like my commute” which has less to do with RTO and more to do with America’s lack of meaningful transportation infrastructure.
How Generative AI Owns Higher Education. Now What?
Brogue was my introduction to the genre. I also tried Golden Krone Hotel, a beginner-friendly title (and the first one I beat)! I played CoQ for a while, too, but there's something about Cogmind that clicked with me. I'm not very good at it, but it's a _total_ blast.

And I agree with you -- it is, imo, the most beautiful roguelike that I've seen or played. And it's got hundreds of unique sound effects, too, which makes a huge difference.

I've thought about CDDA, but honestly, the amount of material there is intimidating. But it looks very cool.

These games are indeed dangerous! I don't have kids, but I'm still in school, so I have to be careful. When you have some time, definitely give Cogmind a try. Hope you enjoy it!
I don’t buy this completely. AMD’s 64-bit humiliation of Intel wasn’t that far in the past, and they knew GPUs were important. They could have hedged their bets a bit more on the basis of sound business management without incurring shareholder wrath.

Not the OP but I would guess it's not that it was unique or surprising, but that it was didactically/pedagogically nicely explained. Experienced devs might find it superfluous since they've already guessed the solution from as soon as the problem is stated, but this is something I could share with a CS 100 student and they'd get a lot out of it.

I want to know how big the GPU crunching all the numbers is to make this work...

The mouse seems to move very nicely and smoothly (60 FPS?) which presumably means the neural net which converts raw sensor data to mouse movements is running in ~15 milliseconds.

Most neural nets don't do a forward pass in 15ms unless they're either tiny or the GPU is very powerful.

Here is a simple simulation of a bicycle's stability [1]. The simulation more or less predicts what happens in real life, so we do understand why bicycles are stable.

As you can see from the simulation, this is a multibody dynamics problem. The bicycle and human have lots of moving parts, and as they move there are forces in 3D [2] amongst them. So there can't really be a simplified, short and mostly complete English explanation (like for why planets go around the sun). That doesn't mean we can't predict.

Yup... before the industrial revolution, those who could have theoretically afforded a bicycle (and had a need to transport only themselves to somewhere else) could also afford a horse, while all the others not only couldn't afford a bicycle, but also had no need for one. Peasants barely left their village, and if they did, it was to deliver some produce, either to their landlord or to the market, and for that a bicycle wouldn't have helped...
Mistake or not, life is all about leverage. And the balance of power has swung back from employee to employer now that we're done with the covid bubble. Managers must tame their unruly cattle and punish them for their past transgressions when the cattle briefly had a moment of increased leverage.
The sad part is that other industries are even worse about this, I know people in the medical system that have to buy gifts for people higher in the hierarchy in order to advance. So we're still kind of blessed for now, well until AI removes all our leverage at least.
Non chemical addictions represent unmet needs.

Being in a state of need creates discomfort. Discomfort creates a desire to seek comfort. Comfort prevents the opportunity for growth. Lack of growth means needs will continue to be unmet. The stress of unmet needs grows and having chosen to seek comfort rather than growth, the unfulfilled need seems even less fulfill-able, creating a greater desire to seek comfort. The negative feedback loop then spirals.

These words like escapism and distraction are key indicators, escaping what? distracting from what? The discomfort of what needs to be confronted is the driving force, and it only gets stronger.

Addictions only start to get better once you choose pain today (discomfort/growth) instead of pain tomorrow (comfort/stagnancy).

I'd like to know if they're doing 'online training' - ie. Do the weights of the neural net which converts raw signal data into mouse movements update themselves every few seconds using historical data?

Such online training might be necessary to deal with brain plasticity - ie. The optimal set of neurons to read to determine X/Y mouse movement right now might not be the same set it was an hour ago.

Such plasticity can be seen in regular humans too when they say 'whoa, I haven't used a pen for months - let me get used to writing again!'.

Oh God the hubris of humans.

Here's an idea: how about we start with a (at least seemingly) much smaller task: can we even try to genuinely be concerned about the (physically) preventable deaths of millions of people each year? And note, I'm not even talking about doing something about it, I am deliberately setting the bar only at trying(!) to be concerned (though: genuine concern).

Baby steps.
The datasets are so huge, I don't think there's any way to make sure that everything in the training data is safe - e.g. GPT3 was trained on 45TB of data, even using LLMs to classify that would be too expensive (GPT3.5 Turbo is priced at $1/million tokens, each token is about 4 bytes, so in the tens of millions to run it on its own training data - you could use other methods but they're less effective and stuff would still slip through), let alone having people do it.
You believe only what you've been told to believe. Everything else is deepfake.
If you care about leverage then you should consider what kind of immigration policies you support, because bringing in more workers reduces the leverage of the current pool of workers, by increasing supply. The harder it is for your boss to find a competent replacement, the more leverage you have when negotiating with him/her.

I think there's a large pool of good talent that can't fully be trusted to do the right thing (not slack off), but can be employed successfully with sufficient guardrails (return to office).

Loosely related anecdote why I feel so:

For a while right after Apple started its mandatory RTO and ramped up Caffe Macs, the soda "grab n go" sections had an honor system - you paid your $1.25 for a coke and went on your way. Apparently there was a _lot_ of petty theft of drinks, so they have a person with an iPad check you off now, and I assume theft has basically plummeted since there's far less employees brazen enough to just barge off with one without checking off their name.

So maybe the RTO is effective in someway? Or maybe the real lesson is that the soda should have been free to begin with.
