>however i disagree that an interruption at the door, or going out for errands counts as break time.

I think there's two ways to look at this:

1) The breaks are relative to the work. If you're doing a given "job" for all the tasks that entails, anything you're doing that isn't the "job" should be included in the break calculations. Certainly this is how any employer would treat the situation. It doesn't matter that taking your car to the mechanic isn't fun, it's also not part of your job so your employer is going to count it as PTO. Likewise, when allocating your own time to a given job, you should view it the same way.

That certainly makes quite a bit of sense to me. If I'm dreading some contract work, but trying to manage my schedule, allowing myself to procrastinate by choosing an even less worse task (like scrubbing the toilet, or doing yard work) and then also taking additional pleasure breaks is going to drastically reduce the time I'm spending getting paid, and if I'm trying to manage my time that's probably not a good thing.

2) Some people (myself included) can definitely get a "break" from work, even if they're doing a chore. In fact, I did this just last week. I'd spent the entire day beating my head against a task that just wasn't going right. At a certain point, I needed a break but I knew if I hung around I'd keep trying to come back to the task. So I went out and did the grocery shopping for the week instead. That took me away from the task and out of the mindset of being focused on it long enough to come back and tackle things fresh. Was it truly a break in that I got to unwind and relax? Not really. But it was a break in that it served the purposed to give me an escape from the work I was bogged down in that was frustrating me.

Whether something is a break or not in this view is less about "work" vs "leisure" and more your own mental state. If I switch off doing some work task to spend some time on my skunkworks project I'm doing at work, if that re-charges me and gives me the mental capacity to go back to the real work I'm doing, that could be just as much of a "break" as reading a book, even if I was still doing stuff that was for "work".

There are a lot of Ws in the passage, and they all seem to have a serif at the top left. This is even true where the W is not word-initial and that serif may seem to interfere with part of the preceding letter:

Yes, input has to be tied to outcome else you might as well just bikeshed and relax in meetings. This is likely why there are so many developer-adjacent roles in medium-large companies: nobody actually wants to do (hard) work and I really can't blame them.
Nice, then finally I won't get nosebleeds on long flights <3
The significant thing I see here in this article is that eating and food is part of the education system, with children having good, healthy meals prepared for them at school that everyone eats, including the teachers.

This has a lot of advantages beyond ensuring kids are eating healthy food and healthy and able to learn at school, it also teaches kids how to eat well, and gives a big helping hand to lower income parents that might not be able to afford to feed their children well.

This is something that I would love to see my country adopt.

That seems pretty well covered by the article though. They explicitly say work for as long or as short a time as you are feeling good about. The only thing that's particularly rigid is that you have a fixed and rigid end time for the break based on how long you worked. It feels less like replacing feelings with ridiculously rigid schemes and more like a plan to actually listen to your feelings, but also have personal accountability to return to the task. It's real easy if you're the sort of person that struggles with procrastinating on tasks to "feel" like you're ready to get back to work.
If by lifestyle you mean behavioral disorder, It seems to me that the science from the last 10 years is starting to point in the opposite direction. If I may recommend, there is a great presentation by Dr. Robert Lustig called "Fat Chance: Fructose 2.0".

I remember people saying that once it is on the web it is there forever. But my experience is how fast web sites disappear. Or get redirected to a nonsensical site in the orient. I think maintaining the domain name is the big problem.

However I am proud to say that you can still see my very first published web page from 1995 if you know the rather obscure url... http://admin.benwillies.com/ticker/

I wrote this page as a proof of concept for a friend of mine who was a financial consultant but unfortunately the humor was a turn-off instead of getting him excited about this new fangled thing called the Web.

I never made that mistake again.

> You can plot this exponential growth out over time and calculate when these models will have the complexity of the brain. Then you can assume some penalty for shitty architecture (that gets better over time), and you’ll have a ballpark estimate.

The same thing could’ve been said for self driving cars, or the space program, or a lot of things that seemed to be progressing quickly at the time.
For some reason people give Satya a pass. I guess because he comes off as a nice guy. Somehow no one associates all the anti competitive stuff MS does with him - like bundling Teams into Office, or forcing a Copilot button onto OEMs, or dark pattern nagging about default apps, or inserting ads into the start menu, or whatever. But that mode of operation is classic MS, and it makes sense they are still this way, since Satya was a long time MS veteran before he was CEO. All that said, he is probably actually nicer than previous MS executives. He has had a lot of difficulty in his personal life around his son, and that probably changed him for the better.

I would guess it's more to do with humidity than temperature. A drier climate should inhibit rancidification. A wetter one should accelerate it.
It does seem inevitable that there would be a UBI as there is continued centralization of wealth and power (see tech giants for example), increased automation (in factories now but soon in other things), and reduced need for human labor. We either find a way to make those people live good lives (not just bare minimum lives) or we can except destabilization in our societies - as in either people revolt or the country turns authoritarian. I’m not sure where all this leads - like do people have the “right” to keep having children that may not contribute economically but do create an economic cost? But I think we’ll need UBI before we confront those bigger questions.

I wonder if the crash on values larger than pi is due to a memory access violation on a lookup table.
I don't understand why people are just mad about OpenAI for their pioneering work towards AGI as if they are the only one who has skin in this game. OpenAI, Google, NVidia, MS, Meta, almost all the AI researchers who publish meaningful work in top literatures, are pushing the boundaries today and has their fair share of responsibility. They are all in it for something, money, power, control, fame, curiosity, academic recognition, whatever the incentives are. At this rate, it's already a race to the bottom and I don't believe the first place AGI was born would be able to kill it off. AGI is like nukes, it's so powerful that nobody will take the risks seriously until they have it, and nobody is going to stop pursuing it because everyone else is chasing it. If OpenAI slows down, Google will take the lead. If the US slows down, China will take the lead. That's basically the doomed future we are facing in reality.
The obvious reason behind this is that otherwise code may be copied into the NetBSD codebase which may have been licensed under an incompatible (or proprietary) license.

One reason, is probably because retrofitting security is a freaking nightmare.

In my opinion, security (as well as Quality, and things like error handling, accessibility, and localization) is something that needs to be planned and implemented, from Day One.

There seem to be only three options here:

Stick with Python. Try SymPy.
By that logic everything is insanely expensive.

Adjust for inflation and it would look much more reasonable. There are also four people earning wages in a quartet.
I mean, we do and have, they just haven't yet been explicitly targeted at critical infrastructure. When they hit critical infrastructure, it has been more of an accident, that gets papered over by just paying the ransom (because it was a financially motivated attack) or the US government getting sufficiently pissed off to intervene directly state-to-state (which kinda happened with the Colonial Pipeline one in 2021).

If the attacks were targeted, were destructively motivated instead of financially motivated, there was no "kill switch", government threats ceased to work, etc... it'd be pretty bad.
It isn't a quantitative model unless you give a prediction of some kind. In this case, dates (or date ranges) would make sense.

1. When do you predict catastrophic global warming/climate change? How do you define "catastrophic"? (Are you pegging to an average temperature increase? [1])

2. When do you predict AGI?

How much uncertainty do you have in each estimate? When you stop and think about it, are you really willing to wager that (1) will happen before (2)? You think you have enough data to make that bet?

It’s corroded his credibility in D.C. and Brussels for a generation. He raised his profile tremendously right before people credibly called him a liar. It’s like he lofted an adversary’s payload into orbit. He will still get an audience with anyone, as he deserves. But people fact check him in a way they didn’t before and don’t with others. Even those who support his policy priorities, and with whom he and his team talk frequently. (OpenAI’s GR is between incompetent and non-existent.)
Actually I'm not often stuck in traffic, because I live somewhere with a big enough road network to service the local population, which is dispersed widely enough that we don't have huge amounts of density. We also don't have natural geographic chokepoints, which was a common cause of traffic congestion in Seattle, where I used to live.
The Night That Sotheby's Was Crypto-Punked
It’s not at all about your product, it’s about your customer, and you’re going to likely need both schemes.

Usage based pricing works well for customers who value flexibility more than predictability, and subscription pricing works well for those that prefer predictability (and probably want a discount). It makes sense. Customers in the first camp are growth oriented or otherwise undergoing a transformation of some kind. The latter group has stable operation and is looking to optimize.

Usage based pricing should be more expensive than subscription pricing to make up for the lower value multiple it gets should you raise or exit.
Depends on where you live. In a hot, humid climate, that thermal mass works against you because it never cools off enough to let you be passively cool. In a desert that gets cold at night despite hot days, it can work.

Technology is an international undertaking. We should be grateful that English has become the common language. It would be so much harder if we needed to be polyglots in addition to our technical knowledge.

I have read several thousand academic papers in my career. In general I don't find the quality of the writing to be as poor as you suggest. Which makes me question whether you are selecting the papers for technical quality.

My process is to read the abstract, look at the authors' affiliations and the references. Those three items give me a sense of how much weight to give the paper. Then I skim the paper, reading the method, results and conclusion. Only strong papers get a more careful reading. So, yes at that stage I might notice the quality of the actual writing. Understandably some international institutions may not have had access to competent English technical editors.

You seem to be assuming that UBI qualitative effects are scale invariant for both population and time. Why do you assume that?

There is a tendency among many people to give precedence to a scientific study over pure reasoning even when the degree of relevance of the scientific study is tiny. It’s like schools don’t teach how to determine if a study is applicable and so people often do it very clumsily. This is a dangerous error.

Only 25% of Americans are getting the recommended aerobic activity. Which is 20 minutes per day of moderate activity (walking).

It is difficult to comprehend how little most Americans walk. In many suburbs, the local store is more than a mile, which would equate to a 40 minute round trip walk. How often do you walk for 40 minutes when you can drive in 8 minutes. Of course, delivery services only exacerbate the issue, as you're not even walking through the parking lot now.
