Why do you say that one needs to use Emacs? Like, I love using Emacs for the elisp and having the power of a full lisp machine, but for CL I didn't find sly-mode/slime to offer anything particular paradigm-shiftingly more powerful than the vim/nvim adaptions?

This very side is written in CL in vi, if I'm not mistaken?

The funny thing with k8s is that Google doesn't use it (except GKE, and there's a reason it's one cluster per customer).

Their internal tooling scales just fine, but all it shares with k8s is some of the underlying concepts. Unlike, say, Bazel, gVisor or Gerrit, which are the real thing (minus some secret sauce tied to internal infra). k8s is good software, and best-in-class when it comes to open source options, but the idea that it is "open source Borg" is silly.

This. Why use the the explicit term "from scratch" when it's not even closely true.
I'm sure the impressive retention rate has more to do than being remote. The intention of what remote means (enjoy your work) is what matters.

"Only 8 people (out of 112) have ever left the company voluntarily, resulting in a 98.5% voluntary retention rate over 10 years (our total retention rate is 97%)."

Also, I think it's a mistake to compare a startup like this with Amazon and Google. They are much larger companies. The purity of any "enjoy your work" concept becomes harder to maintain as a company grows. There are too many people joining with too many different motivations, and the power of money and fame can cloud the minds of once integrous founders.

"Our remote-first peers boast similar stats: Buffer has a retention rate of 94% and an average tenure of 2.4 years, GitLab’s retention is 85%, BuySellAds is 90%, and Zapier’s is 94%. Meanwhile companies like Google and Amazon struggle to keep employees for barely a year."
Poplar Randomness Extractor
I think you miss-understood the feature. It fixes the issue where there's multiple people in a room joining the same meeting from their laptops while sitting next to each other. It basically combines all microphones / speakers in that room into one big speaker / microphone just like a fancy conference setup.
We work with a lot of external customers. Teams, GotoMeeting, GotoWebinar, Skype, Google Meet, Zoom. And honestly, they all suck.

Getting logged in is always a problem. Setting my name permanently is literally always a problem (I have zero idea why). Viewing someone elses screen always stinks because the scaling is just not good.

On top of that you can't compare Teams to Google Meet because literally every organization has theirs configured differently. For some organizations, I can use my phone for audio. For others I can only use my laptop. So it's never an Apples to Apples comparison. Sometimes you have access to chat history; other times if you reconnect you lose chat history. The differences inside a product go on and on.
What I'm missing in the article is actually the crucial point:

How do you distinguish between the "ordinary if rare" conventional double-beta (that has reproducibly been observed for Ge76 -> Se76 + 2β + 2 anti-ν) and the hypothetical neutrino-less one ?

In "ordinary" beta decay, the (anti)neutrino takes part of the decay energy and hence the energy spectrum of the electron emitted is "blurry". "ordinary double beta" would imply the same, both of the (seen) emitted electrons should show an energy spectrum.
If at least some of these double-betas were neutrinoless, the two electrons would take the entire decay energy.
If you observe a lot of double-beta, you should therefore see the "smooth" ordinary (non-neutrinoless) spectrum ... with an excess at the top end (neutrinoless).

Is that correct? I.e. we're basically trying to measure enough double beta to get an energy distribution spectrum, and then hope/expect to see a "majorana peak" at the top end?
It's also outdated. I don't think I've seen real are drinking culture since like 2018.
Squeezed in above. Thanks!
It is pretty frustrated how limited the layout options are. The best workaround is to open a second Meet window and join the meeting in "companion mode" [0]. Then you can at least position the windows how you like, with each focusing on a different thing.

There is a difference between thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of a material. They have low electric conductivity, so when you try to pass a current through them, they get hot. They are thermally conductive, so the heat spreads around the brick quickly.

Many gestures are shared across cultures even without an obvious shared history (e.g. some simulation of an erect penis will mean "f*ck you", which you can do by raising a finger or by raising your forearm) so I bet there are some :)

One gesture I know of which existed in Brazil and Italy is the "fig" sign[0]. AFAICT nobody uses it anymore in Italy, but it goes back to the Etruscans!

Some years ago I came across a nice book (pdf) by some academic cataloguing a bunch of gestures across cultures, but I am failing to find it again ATM :(

Thanks for sharing. This has given me much more insight into how and why diffusion models work. Randomness is oddly powerful. Time to try and code one up in some suitably unsuitable language.

Not much to TL;DR for the comment lurkers. This post is the TL;DR of stable diffusion.
Also imagine that 44.1kHz on one laptop will not equal 44.1kHz on another or one can run at 96kHz and others on 44.1kHz etc. that means everything has to be dynamically resampled in realtime whilst preserving quality and low latency.

"handling copy/paste correctly."

Sometime in the last year, iterm2 started adding ~00~ crap around stuff I paste. then some yellow 'alert' box at the top indicating I'm doing something wrong and do I want to keep doing it. makes 0 sense to me, and... annoying because it didn't do it for the first... 6-7+ years I used it. My behaviour didn't change, but iterm2 starts breaking.

No doubt there's some 100% logical explanation as to what changed such that my standard copy/paste is 'wrong' now, but... would have preferred they'd have kept the original behaviour.
> Because tech hiring and retention is way down, there have been massive layoffs.

And at the same time, there is a huge number of job offers. If I wanted to quit my job, have 3 months of vacation, and look for another job again, I could get it quickly provided I accepted a 20% lower salary. This might sound bad, but frankly this is still an excellent salary for me. In contrast to people in non-tech sectors, I really have no reason to complain about.
No, the use cases for this are similar to regular autodiff, where you implement a function f(x) and the library helps you automatically compute derivatives such as the gradient g(x) := ∇f(x). Various autodiff methods differ in how they accomplish this, and the library shared here uses a code-generation approach where it performs a source-to-source transformation to generate source code for g(x) based on the code for f(x).

Us feeling better about the output from such prompts borders on Gell-Mann Amnesia.

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate ... than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know." -Michael Crichton

> We mentioned that her right ear still glowed red and hot several times a day, which we found odd.

Recurring episodes of hot/red ears, especially after an initial trigger of infection, sounds a lot like relapsing polychondritis. But RP is already super rare so I have no idea what the potential intersection of RP and PANDAS looks like.
According to this page, there is plenty of research to show that Vitamin D is a cure-all that folks just don't know about:

> We see expensive commercials every night during prime time for expensive and patented pharmaceuticals ... but we never see any similar advertisements mentioning that study after study has shown that simply (and inexpensively) maintaining sufficient levels of Vitamin D can work to prevent rickets (that's well known) but also 17 types of cancer ... lower blood pressure, improve immune system function (prevents colds and flu), autoimmune function, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, autism, allergies, preeclampsia, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis (also well known) depression, muscle and bone weakness and generalized pain.

The natural supplement industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and has been for a long while. If Vitamin D was the panacea that Mr. Gibson is representing it to be here, I'm sure that GMC would be running ads about treating "autism and cancer" with Vitamin D non-stop.

Further, if Vitamin D did all of the above, I can assure you that pharmas would be researching the mechanism of action to create effective derivatives.

If a treatment is effective and it isn't a super rare disease, you'll find a pharma somewhere selling it somehow.

> So you can't explain your stuff to an 8 year old child like Richard Feynman insisted ?

I can explain stuff to an 8-year old child, but a very long part of my explanation will be about bringing the child "from zero to graduate-level knowledge" in mathematics.

The solution to explaining stuff to an 8-year old child is thus not by making the material sufficiently stupid to make it understandable to a typical 8-year old, but to make the 8-year old sufficiently smart and knowledgeable to understand the topic.

Programming is more spatial than linguistic. It requires temporal understanding in order to formulate, and usually data 'structures' are based around physically laying data out.
While they absolutely shouldn't ban IP for reasons you said, some do that anyway.

The most (in)famous case is China's GFW which banes IPs all the time. Yes, other websites often get accidentally blocked, but they don't care. Moreover, you can't even communicate with them because there are no official legal regulations. This is something what any CDN or cloud providers have to deal all the time.

My recollection of his networking utilities is similar. The raw sockets thing was obvious nonsense and demonstrated a fundamental inability to understand security (software/capabilities of remote parties are completely independent from your local environment - removing a feature from Windows that can facilitate attacks would not affect Windows's defensive vulnerabilities!). You'd meet plenty of types of these people in the 90's/00's, possessing security "certifications" but no actual mental model of how anything worked. I once had to suffer a university head of IT who was scared of individuals running Linux connected to the campus network because "there was no company to sue".

Gibson's whole schtick felt like a snake oil salesman that got a cult following of a bunch of Windows noobs that found his simple utilities useful (perhaps SpinRite was one of these) and then extrapolated from that into believing the vacuous technobabble marketing. In the circles I ran in, "Gibson" and "Shields Up!" were more punchlines for jokes than anything else. The concurrent "Hack the Gibson" meme didn't help that either.

I played with a demo unit a few years ago and the viewing angle was very limited. The image isn't 360 it's more like a porthole view in an image with depth. The tech is lenticular meaning there's dozens of 2d images layered at specific viewing angles.
I think a bunch of compilers nowadays are smart enough to see these kinds of hacks and compile them to an equivalent on the target that runs best. Favourite example of this is writing a duff's device to unroll a loop, and then gcc completely ignores it and replaces it with a vectorised loop.
> the rest of Googles "office" products are absolute amateur hour

Not quite sure about this. Gmail (both personal and company accounts) is IMO a great email client with loads of handy features, and I always felt Google Docs/Sheets/Slides/Drawings were well put together. Are they the best in class? I guess it depends what you are looking for. Could Drive be faster? Yes, that would be nice. But "amateur hour" sounds like we are simply using different products.
Genuine question, does this level of complexity lead to higher rates of mistakes, such as faulty proofs passing review?

I'm asking this because in my field of expertise it's a common correlation, that the more complex and arcane a piece of code is, the lower the chance is that issues will be discovered during review. In addition the chance of issues grows superlinear with complexity, as more control flow and invariants needs to be tracked in error prone human minds.

Same reason people build those prepper bunkers. The towers were presumably not there for the general public. Consider as well other castles and sieges. There is a limit of how many people would be allowed in, and everyone in a siege needed to pull their weight. Really, once a town is under siege, the castle is closed, when the town walls are breached, the pillaging happens and the castle does not open its gates. My point is that medieval town defense was not really a communal endeavor per se.
