> what is wrongthink.

It's nothing to do with "wrongthink". It's a completely unrelated topic.

Imagine if you were involved in a conversation about the negative impacts of the tobacco industry on society, and I just jumped in with "cars are by far more dangerous than air travel".

Regardless of whether what I said is true, it has nothing to do with the existing conversation. You'll notice that I chose a very easy to prove fact for my hypothetical interjection here. You very much did not state a provable fact, but I'm going to ignore that because whether or not what you said is provable, it's still completely unrelated to the topic being discussed.

It's nothing to do with finding you "disagreeable". It's pretty basic etiquette when having a conversation.

I'm not really sure why you think I would be your border guard, or how you assume I would treat a person in that scenario even if I was? I very much dislike the policy being discussed - warrantless 'demands' to access a phone when crossing the border, I'm just trying to explain to you that

- (a) it's unrelated to COVID in any way; and

- (b) in my experience the assumption by foreigners (typically Americans but probably not exclusively) that Australians are all "hopping mad" about the government reaction to COVID is vastly overblown. A small number of very vocal, selfish shitheads protested and pretended to be people they're not (i.e. buying hi-vis gear to appear as if they're construction workers). The vast majority of the population has just the slightest bit of common decency and sense of community well being. There's a reason 5x as many cases in the US resulted in deaths, and why the death rate (i.e. deaths per n population) was 3.6x higher - and that's using data updated very recently, so it includes the past 12-18 months when restrictions have been lifted everywhere.
It’s noticeable because it’s so tangible and common; but I’d say there are more incarnations of this effect, harder to notice.

E.g. the way startups work with equity and shares and everything in between is also convoluted and grandiose - and makes people choose irrationally.

I’m sure there are more examples.

Here is what I got from multiple onboarding experience. The only good one is at Unity Technology BTW, though I think it can be improved.

1. Have an onboarding package including a checklist and links to some company/team wide documents. Ask the onboarding person to update the whole package once they went through the whole process. It's fine to leave stuffs out because company and team evolve.

2. Setup an onboarding buddy with some sessions and let the onboarding person shadow. It's a lot better than throwing a huge amount of documentation and wish good luck. Recorded sessions are also useful for future onboarding process if people are too busy.

3. Allow people some time before throwing tasks to them. And start small. I don't know why but most of my first assignment was complicated enough to take more than 2 weeks to complete. I'd expect a few days at most. A lot of the time was wasted in processes that I was not familiar with.

4. If you want new employees to be more independent, be very clear about what does that mean. Don't just say "I'd like you to be more independent", but say "If you want to do x, y and z, you can make calls without consulting anyone, but do be careful with j, k and l.". In general, be detail about team culture. I have been burned by going either side (too independent or not enough) previously.

Going back to OP's question, I believe the best thing to do, if you don't have a lot of time, is to simply let the new people shadow you while you are taking out some tasks, and record the sharing. You definitely already have some internal doc about internal tools so that should be good enough. If the internal tools are too complicated to be shown in one session, maybe multiple sessions. You can complement this by hand holding them for the first time as well. IMO you should be given the time by management. If it's difficult to search, gather the links into an Excel sheet.

A bad onboarding experience has a long shadow and usually dictates whether I'm going to hop to another job in 6 months.

I think you might have it the wrong way round, and that you're a good example of why they do it.

You actually care about your computer, and if software isn't available for your OS then you're unlikely to ever switch OS to use it.

But you could be persuaded to move to iPhone, and maybe if enough new Apple services (which aren't available on Android) tempt your wife then she might make her next phone an iPhone, too?

Apple cares more about persuading people to switch from Android to iPhone than about Windows to Mac. But I also suspect there are many more Windows+iPhone people than Mac+Android.
I was thinking about this. I think there is a trend in English to use they even when the gender is known to indicate a kind of distance from that person. E.g. my guess about the parent poster is that they (he or she in this case, a different usage) may not be very close to the "silicon guy"

Native Image is a fully independent JVM and compiler implementation that was written from day one for startup time and memory footprint as the only goals that mattered. What it sacrifices to get that is some semantic compatibility. The big differences are:

- It compiles all code ahead of time. As machine code is much bigger than the equivalent bytecode, it uses a dead code ("tree shaking") analysis to only compile code that's statically reachable or declared via config files. It's like a mandatory WebPack or ProGuard step if you're familiar with those.

- It runs (some) class initializers at compile time, not startup time. So if you do something like "public static final Thread thread = ...." then you'll need to exclude that class from build-time init, including if it's in libraries etc.

- It snapshots the post-compile heap into the binary.

So this is changing the normal Java semantics and that means some apps won't run on native image without some up front work. It's not an entirely free capability. You have to "port" your app to it. Fortunately, because the startup and memory footprint wins are so huge and definitive the JVM ecosystem is rallying around this approach and making frameworks and such compatible with it. For instance if you use the latest versions of any of the modern Java web frameworks (Spring, Micronaut, Quarks, etc) then you can easily run a single build system target to get a Docker container with a native executable inside, that has those startup times you're seeing here.

At this point the startup time bottleneck for (compatible) Java apps has shifted to the kernel; the container infrastructure itself takes longer to start than the Java program does.

We don't agree. You're now saying anything is evidence of anything, which just makes the word "evidence" meaningless.

In real life, when people say "A is evidence of B" they mean strong evidence, or even overwhelming evidence. You just backpedalled by redefining evidence to mean anything and nothing, so you can salvage an obviously false claim.

Nobody in the real world says "rain is evidence of aliens" with the implicit assumption that it's just extremely weak evidence. The way English is used by people makes that sentence simply false, as is yours that anything previously not solved is evidence of AGI.

> The same Lambda function with 3008 MB of memory that took 3.6 seconds to start with the JVM, started in under 100 milliseconds once compiled to a native executable using GraalVMs native-image tool. We were able to achieve sub second response times as shown in the graph below, and as an added bonus were also able to reduce the memory size and cost.

They go on to describe the main caveat - you have to predeclare what will be accessed via reflection - and how some frameworks like Micronaut do work up-front at source compile time to ensure the needed metadata is generated. So if your app is compatible with native image the benefits are really there.

There are some other caveats:

• In some cases you may need config files to make libraries compatible with the process. There's a central collection of them, and libraries are increasingly including their own metadata. The biggest app compat problems are with apps built using old versions of frameworks like Spring where you can't afford to update them to the newest versions of things.

• Out of the box the native executable runs a bit slower. To get throughput that's competitive with HotSpot you'll need to do a C++ style workflow with profile guided optimization, which is obviously more runtime efficient but less devops-time efficient than what HotSpot does.

• The actual compile process is slow, so you'll be developing on HotSpot.

Disclosure: I work part time with the GraalVM team.

I've been pondering similar regarding data persistence. One half-assed idea I have is simply to prompt the user to save the data regularly. A reminder with a button/link which triggers data serialisation from storage and then triggers the save dialogue. The serialisation/save could be triggered manually any time. A reciprocal import would also be needed of course.

Another similarity half-baked plan is for a PWA to regularly post (encrypted?) data to a service I'd host that simply forwards the data to the user's choice of cloud storage. It would require initial setup and probably regularly refreshing token, but should be workable.

> If I need to spool up a jet turbine feeding H100's just to decipher my error messages, the solution is a better compiler, not a larger jet engine.

You don't need a jet turbine and H100s for that, you need it once for the whole world to get that ability; exercising it costs comparatively little in GPU time. Like, can't say how much GPT-4o takes in inference, but Llama-3 8B works perfectly fine and very fast on my RTX 4070 Ti, and it has a significant enough fraction of the same capabilities.

Speaking of:

> A better compiler helps you reason about errors.

There's only so much it can do. And yes, I've actually set up an "agent" (predefined system prompt) so I can just paste the output of build tooling verbatim, and get it to explain error messages in it, which GPT-4 does with 90%+ accuracy. Yes, I can read and understand them on my own. But also no, at this point, parsing multiple screens of C++ template errors or GCC linker failures is not a good use of my life.

(Environment-wise, I'm still net ahead of a typical dev anyway, by staying away from Electron-powered tooling and ridiculously wasteful modern webdev stacks.)

> A better language reduces boilerplate.

Yes, that's why everyone is writing Lisp, and not C++ or Java or Rust or JS.

Oh wait, wrong reality.

> Better language features help you be more expressive.

That's another can of worms. I'm not holding much hopes here, because as long as we insist on working directly on plaintext codebase treated as single source of truth, we're already at Pareto frontier in terms of language expressiveness. Cross-cutting concerns are actually cross-cutting; you can't express them all simultaneously in a readable way, so all the modern language design advances are doing is shifting focus and complexity around.

LLMs don't really help or hurt this either, though they could paper over some of the problem by raising the abstraction level at which programmers edit their code, in lieu of the tooling actually being designed to support such operations. I don't think this would be good - I'd rather we stopped with the plaintext single-source-of-truth addiction in the first place.

> Its appearance as a silver bullet withers the closer you get to essential complexity.

100% agreed on that. My point is, dealing with essential complexity is usually a small fraction of our work. LLMs are helpful in dealing with incidental complexity, which leaves us more time to focus on the essential parts.

Even with a strong password – my laptop today can do 1100 MH/s which makes it quite feasible. One of the potential attack vectors can look like this: a malicious actor takes this and reskins the UI, then hosts and does the marketing, his server stores the NGINX logs with /login requests for some time, preserving the password_hash and username params silently. Then after a while he spends few weeks cracking the passwords for every account and syncs their notes, then parsing them for passwords/sensitive info.

As for suggestions, this could be enforced by making use of a system-level keychain, but I don't know if it is possible within a sandboxed environment like PWA. Some stronger derivation method would help too, like the industry standard is pbkdf2 with at least 600000 iterations for SHA256. Lastly, end-to-end encryption usually implies some kind of protection against man-in-the-middle attack, like a certificate pinning mechanism

As other commenters have said, whether or not an electron’s magnetic moment is “to do with currents” is a little open to interpretation.

I’ll add that the Dirac equation (governing electron field) correctly predicts magnetic moment given the inputs of charge and mass. * I interpret this as indicating that magnetic moment is a derived phenomenon just as it would be in the classical picture of a spinning ball of charge; I.e. the quantum picture refines but does not totally discard the classical understanding.

* Well, technically, sympathetic vibrations with all the other standard model fields also make tiny contributions to the magnetic moment.
