> But what happens if tech workers move out, and stop generating revenue for the city? Life would be even worse.

No, a different mix of workers will move in. If they flatten the income distribution then life will be better for the non-tech workers who already live here. San Francisco's economy wasn't always so focused on tech, just as other vibrant cities in the U.S. aren't so focused on tech.

> That restaurant worker may lose their job because there's not as many customers.

The different mix of workers that would move in may go to restaurants just as much, and if they don't then sure, some restaurants will go out of business. So what? Some of the restaurant staff can adapt to other jobs, and they'll have longer to do so because their rent won't be so high.

> This isn't speculation, this is actively happening: https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/politics/san-francisco-budge...

That article doesn't even mention tech. What it says is:

The snowballing shortfall is primarily caused by formerly reliable streams of revenue — namely, taxes generated by tourism and a once-thriving downtown — sputtering amid the post-pandemic recovery.

Sure, the once vibrant Manhattan-like downtown is now a ghost-town, but that's largely due to remote work to which the tech sector is acutely vulnerable. Ironically the City actually would've been buttressed against the remote work sea change had it had a more diverse, less tech-dependent economy.

> This is one of the more pernicious aspects of zero sum thinking: people engaging in zero sum thinking assume that reducing the wealth of some people means it'll end up redistributed to others. The reality is that it often just results in everyone being worse off.

If reducing the wealth of some people and creating a flatter income distribution "just results in everyone being worse off" then evidently increasing the wealth of some people and creating a skewed income distribution will have the opposite effect. Suppose you lived in a place and a time with a highly-skewed income distribution with severe winners and severe losers and you're the loserest loser of them all. Suppose as luck would have it everyone else makes more money than you do. Evidently that would "just result in everyone being [better] off" even you, right? In that case, you should be thrilled with that arrangement. What do you say? Would you be thrilled to have the lowest income in your city?

Tbf I feel remote work really improved significantly in the past years, though I don't know if the contribution from those startups matters or not. Web3 and blockchain is a moot, there's little to no practical reason to have them.

AI though, will be very useful, at least a good one. Theoretically, AI can swim in a good ocean of company documentations and save time searching. They can help doctors diagnose a ct scan faster (if not already).
true but you have to participate at all costs in whatever's hot for engineers and consumers, and that is definitely AI
I agree, the argument seems plausible. Just not as definitive as it purports to be.
Im keen to believe this is a genuine mistake on either GitHub or Google’s end. Perhaps some automated system they’re testing out.

Yes, it is a slam piece.

SMRs can only become cheap when they are built at scale. Zero have been built to far, so at this point they are infinitely expensive. When the first few will be built, they will still be quite expensive. But they hold the potential to become as cheap as the SpaceX rockets became compared to those built by the rest of the industry. It's just technology after all, there is no law of nature that it has to stay expensive forever.
I find myself being cautious when it comes to reading characterizations of China's historical dis/unity, knowing the current government has some rather strong opinions about what narrative it would like to see in the history books.
Totally fair, I feel the same way. Originally Photon was going to use AAs but I changed course when I decided I wanted to make it water resistant.

(FWIW Photon uses a 103040 which is pretty commonly available, the only caveat is it needs a Molex Pico-EZmate connector, which is a super-low-profile connector since interior space is scarce.)

I'd love to revisit the battery story some day...
Pro tip: If you don't connect your LG TV to the internet, it doesn't display ads. Get an Apple TV and you'll be able to stream everything and never see ads from the streaming box itself again.

It does make receiver-based setups more complicated; I feed my receiver through eARC and live with the slight downgrade in sound quality.

As far as I'm concerned any ToS that doesn't have an edit feature that lets the user put their own terms in and send it back to the company to review (in a timely fashion) shouldn't be legally enforceable.

Otherwise there's no meeting of minds going on here.
What about the existing word "puck", as in hockey puck?
Had a pier group interview at a company once where I was asked how to form a grouping SQL statement. I rattled it off and then was told that I needed to write it out on the board.

Wrote it out, turned and asked how they would like it sorted (they hadn’t specified) since you should almost always have a sort on a query.

The entire room busted up laughing except for the guy that asked the question. He just stood up and left.

Figured that I had pissed off the wrong person. After I was hired, I was paired with him. I later asked him about it over drinks, he said that he walked out because he didn’t need to waste any more time interviewing me, that he went to the manager and said that they better hire me. He was definitively one of the smartest people I’ve ever worked with and a good friend now.
I suspect you're late in the screening process, or there's some effective filter before you. I've seen hire rates of 1 in 100, in big orgs!
Grokking may not even occur for datasets of that scale. Even the MNIST experiments require dropping the training data size from 50k examples to 1k. The reason for this is that the phenomenon seems to occur at a critical zone of having just barely enough training data to make generalization possible. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.10343 for details.

Even figuring out how to induce grokking behavior on a 100M model or OpenWebText would be a big leap in the understanding of grokking. It's perfectly reasonable for a paper like this to show results on the standard tasks for which grokking has already been characterized.
Yup, that's the one
Nice! It's so good when you can cobble together various tools to achieve something like that.
I'd love to be getting interviews to turn down, at this point.

It does, but the loanwords from Chinese vastly outnumber those, so the influence of Chinese words on Japanese is pretty undeniable.
I just put one on my kitchen scale: 70g.
How does that work with e.g. French Creole which has French, Carribean, and English in it. What if this feels like a dialect but the percentage of any given parent is less than your cut-off percentage? You make the rule sound very easy to interpret but I think the general principle is that language classification is nuanced and the irony of the "navy and army" language requirement are it kind of has nothing to do with the actual language spoken.
Ugh, I mixed it up with Kyouto, thanks. (ou instead ō however is just as legal as oe is for ö in German.)
Altman aims to be trusted to say what regulations should and should not be made. It should not surprise you people consider evidence of dishonesty and suspicious coincidences relevant to trust.

People have lost jobs and likely careers to AI models trained on their works. You could assert in the long run all individuals will be better off. You could assert the benefits to others made the harms virtuous. You could assert they deserved it. I don't know how you could deny they were harmed. You could assert it was inevitable. But this would negate credit if it would negate blame. This is a distraction from the question of trust however.
For this I use a Virb Elite mounted on the bike itself. Garmin stopped making them in 2013 I think, and they can be found in mint condition for $40-50. They're very sturdy, waterproof, and have GPS. The battery life is reasonnable (with new batteries).

The mounting system is very practical, they can be taken off or put back on with one hand, something I was never able to do with a GoPro.

And they just... look weird, so they don't get stolen.
This habit of latching onto one word specifically to ignore what everyone knows is obnoxious, pedantic, and most of the time not even technically correct. It's just stupid quibbling over how words in English can be used to mean different things. And just so you know, the model doesn't "learn" anything, you're just adjusting weights until you get a desired result.
What value does poetry add to this? A simple cli should be trivially packageable.

Yes, yes it is.

If you're laid off you have more time to walk. If you're not walking that much quit your job and reduce your outgoings so that you can get a job that helps you survive past 45 without type 2 diabetes. Walking is very calming if you have emotional turmoil.

You don't get to a BMI that was much greater than 40 without eating disorders. Walking helps calm that, too.

I think people who say they have tried walking are lying to themselves. They're like the women who go to the gym and lift 2 lb dumbbells.

Walk ten miles a day for a year before telling me you've tried it.

recently laid off late-40s senior engineer here; not the biggest fan of leetcode style questions and i do not ask them when i'm on the other side of the desk, but also i figured it was not a windmill i could afford to tilt at. i paid for a month of actual leetcode, spent 2-3 weeks intensively going through problems, and considered it time and money well spent for getting me back in practice.

(i do find the algorithms interesting in their own right too; it's just annoying to have prospective jobs gated behind finding and coding them up in 45 minutes. the older you get the more your focus at actual work emphasises depth over speed.)
I'm not sure which domains you're referring to.

I can think of domains where sensationalist opinions are lifted, but not ones where the general consensus is blatantly false. I can think of plenty of instances where large news organizations have grossly misrepresented conclusions of research.

> but who is Joe Sixpack supposed to turn to?

This, I agree with. It is why I actively voice dissent, as an expert and in areas where I have domain expertise, against so-called science communicators (not all are "so-called") and when the news gets it wrong.

Hell, I'll do this when actual science communicators get it wrong. Like when Niel DeGrassee Tyson is being dumb[0]. He also thinks hydrogen bombs don't have fallout...[1]. They do...

That said, I still don't think this is a reason to distrust scientists. But I think it is important for scientists to speak out when communicators get it wrong. I think this is a common problem and allows the conmen to gain power. But that's not the only force at play. Truth is complex. Approximate truth is bounded in complexity. But lies can be infinitely simple. So we get it wrong when we "reason our way through" something, because typically the base assumptions are wrong. This makes many conmen truly believe the lies that they are selling.

Joe Sixpack can reason through that. But Joe Sixpack can also reason through the concept that if he was easily able to reason through something and that experts disagree, it's pretty likely there's a reason why other than them being dumb and <Joe Sixpack> knowing better. Can, but doesn't. And we as the public let that happen. This may seem like an insurmountable problem, but instead it is a problem which just needs sufficient effort. Momentum builds, so the more people that push against this, the more common it'll become. And to be clear, it is perfectly fine to question experts. It is not perfectly fine to confidently disagree while not actually understanding the topic. If you don't know the difference, read a few papers/works in the topic and see if you can understand 90+% of it (if it is CS or Engineering, see if you can replicate).

I agree negative return for that long is not necessarily expected. Definitely fair for some period of onboarding though.

The havoc I was referring to was more due to the person’s political skills and ability to shift the blame for his own shortcomings to people on his team, while those on the team were unaware of how he’d throw them under the bus while managing up. The failure at “fizzbuzz” was a red flag that got ignored by management (yes there was some existing dysfunction in the org).

And so — figuratively speaking — someone who couldn’t even build a doghouse ended up being tasked with architecting a shopping mall, then attempted to deliver a skyscraper (and failed miserably at it).
> It's as if the US had its own versions of a large fraction of English yingzi.

English is a foreign language for me. I don't know how native speakers see it, but to me it does sometimes feel like US English is the "simplified" one compared to British.
Not for beginners. But for fluent speakers, kanji are very necessary to distinguish all the homophones.

E.g. 効果, 硬化, 降下.. are hard to learn, but they're clear. こうか is much easier to learn, but it could mean any of 10-15 unrelated things.
Looks super useful - thanks for sharing!
Sure, but at some point, the emergent behavior, like having to worry about your computer being infected, has nothing to do with the actual technology under it, and more about fundamentals of complex systems, and game theory.
He chose a new place to live without thought of parking his vehicle. It's not clear from the article if he took delivery before or after the split, but if before, it's something that should have been checked. If after, AFAIK you have until day of delivery to cancel your Tesla order.
Double thanks! (Always glad to see the German taking "Elizabethan" s-f glyph pair to its ambiguous conclusion.) My very earliest exposure to the Ausdehnungslehre was in Sternberg+Bamberg. Until coming across Penrose diagrams, this book staved off the disgust I felt for tensor calculus (as used by physicists).

Mainly shocked by the compression of Maxwell's equations to a single line.

Otherwise.. that was.. (regrettably cryptic) a reference to the eerily resonant Kolmogorov option, roughly motivated by Hilbert's slogan "truth does not need martyrs".

More precisely, I am sympathetic to the idea that the path that Grassmann took to release his discoveries into the world was actually close to the optimal one.

Other paths to consider are thus Grothendieck's,Kaczynski's, Galois' (generalizing to purely social bits, even Nash's)

Two-sided intellectual exchange with a finished work across spacetime, that's also something.
But it's also a playground, and once we close the book we can still explore the world built. Sure, the set is two dimensional, but we can try to figure out how it might work.
Come on--obviously OP meant a "stroke of the pen, held by duly elected representatives". Nothing dictatorial about that.

We currently can almost get enough of those representatives in office to do it (and a president to sign it), if it weren't for things like the electoral college, gerrymandering, and grossly unequal representation in the Senate, things that currently give disproportionate power to the "team" that happens to oppose single-payer.
Include-what-you-use won't make your stuff build faster, unless you end up removing lots of headers. What it will do is make your codebase more stable by forcing people to include stuff that is referenced in the current file. Some people find it annoying when their indirectly included header changes or disappears and that breaks the build. I believe there is also the expectation that you will forward declare tons of stuff. That will speed up your build, but it's a lot of work. I wouldn't do it unless I had serious problems with build times that couldn't be solved otherwise.

I haven't used IWYU in years. It's an ok idea but I have bigger fish to fry, and including everything you reference is kinda verbose. What I do is I include anything particular to the current cpp file, and let everything else be indirect. If it someday breaks the build when I change includes upstream, I'll fix it. That takes less time than maintaining IWYU stuff IMO.

Of course if you are writing headers, you really ought to be more careful and include more stuff, if it's fast enough at compile time. It's stupid to have to include a header and then have to include a separate header with primitive types or something before you can do anything.
Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular problems are the really unsustainable things here. Get your priorities straight.
Ohh fancy! No I didn't consider radar, watching that video now.

The main consideration for the motion sensor is power consumption -- Photon's PIR consumes ~2µA. Any idea what the power consumption is for these radar sensors?
The upside is not tiny. There are many, many things I am far better at than most of my peers.

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist with a PhD in mechanical engineering looking for any potential opportunities outside of academia. I have over a decade of experience in scientific research, especially on the numerical side. I have years of experience in writing software for and running large simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems. I also have years of experience working with large datasets, including the tasks of calculating statistics and developing hypotheses/models/theories from data. I've worn many hats over the years and love learning new and interesting topics.
I think if you were to ask someone not trained in navigation "to fly straight" between two points on the globe, they are probably not going to come up with the concept of great circles and most likely will end up turning a bunch during their flight "to fly straight". I could be wrong but I think "most obvious" if we are defining it as "the most natural thing most people would do without explicit training" then the article is wrong and this thread would agree with this conclusion.

I don't disagree that it is possible to deduce the great circle if you think about it and have the knowledge to coordinate systems. But why even ask the question this way when you can get to the core of the question by explicitly asking "Along the great circle that reaches its max latitude at Seattle, what's the next country it touches going eastward from Seattle?" This would yield many more correct answers and why people think its mostly wordplay (because it is).
Funny you say this, my windows can't seem to recover from updating. Several times it has been stuck for more than one hour at which point I yank the power and try updating some other time. Even the most slower linux distros update in minutes and never failed me for more than a decade.
>I think it's fair to say, though that GTK4+libadwaita is "the GNOME toolkit", and GTK4 alone is just a much less capable, less extensible, less "batteries included" toolkit than GTK3

Your example shows the opposite though. GtkSocket & GtkPlug were removed because they were buggy and never worked on any non-X11 platforms. Removing platform-specific hacks and moving towards standard interfaces is the correct way to go if you want a generic "batteries included" toolkit and not just something that can be used to hack things together on specific Unix platforms using a specific outdated window system.

I doubt anyone has any actual interest in making it work in GTK4 because XEmbed is a pretty broken concept full of race conditions that was never fully implemented anyway. And design-wise XEmbed doesn't actually make any sense because you need to funnel everything through the X server just for one app to host another one. The proper way to do it is to have the Socket be a server and make the Plug a client that talks directly to it through its own socket. I imagine your Wayland solution does this by running a small pass-through Wayland server. That should get easier over time as Wayland libraries improve, which I can't say about XEmbed because X11 isn't being developed anymore. Doing something like that is also AFAIK the only way it would work on MacOS.

Regardless, the GTK developers probably won't merge any replacement for Socket/Plug unless it works on all supported platforms including Windows and Mac, and it actually fixes all the bugs that were in XEmbed. And you have to ask the question: why is this needed anyway? In my experience this isn't a general-purpose feature, the huge majority of apps work better when whatever embedded widget is put in a shared library, or uses RPC (i.e. D-Bus) calls to populate its own in-process views.
