That sounds like standard goal-oriented planning. Amazon starts with the product's press release.
"The Amazon working backward method is a product development approach that starts with the team imagining the product is ready to ship. The product team’s first step is to draft a press release announcing the product’s availability. The audience for this press release is the product’s customer."

Golden lettuce is an anti-evolutive move. As a new product can be successful, but I predict that It will need an obligatory supply of chemicals on its production. Probably more chemicals than the green lettuce. The benefits as healthy food will be a balance between the carotene plus the other parts in the equation. Should be treated as a cold season product at least.

As a fancy product provides a new color in the market and can bring the company a lot of money (I'm not against that as long as is grow accurately) but IMO must be cleaned thoroughly by the consumer.

i don't agree with the mandate but at the very least, if they're going to do this they should absolutely exempt workers from returning to office during the periods they are on-call!
Or that management wants to make the most of the downturn in tech hiring to make sure the rank and file don't get the wrong ideas about who actually has the power. The extra attrition is probably the icing on the cake.

WFH is overwhelmingly popular amongst employees and has the most potential to be a topic tech workers band together on. Tech employees realizing that collective action can work terrifies execs. Therefore it's imperative to the moneyed class that RTO be normalized back as soon as possible.
isn't that at least partially due to the kde agreement? https://kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation/

I personally can't comprehend building software with the waterfall method. I always do a reverse waterfall: build the fundamentals at the bottom. They are the non-negotiable "truths" of the problem, representing something close to the minimal complexity. Then, tie them together to work towards the relatively mushy end goal, with the abstractions being much more obvious as you work your way up, with a few "shifts" where higher level abstractions may pop out and collapse things into simpler pieces as you go up.

I would consider the GUI being one of those "truths".
This is cool. What do you mean by "defense?"
Saying "Perfectly opposite" does not need to mean the mathematical cosine similarity would be -1. The point you implied by bringing up this irrelevant information is to be dismissive of the relevance of generative model embeddings for different tasks (and 0.41 is less similar than you get in previous embedding modes which don't have the rich context of LLMs or RLFF models). This is why you got the snarky tone back, you took an unnecessary literal interpretation, and revealed in your later paragraphs a dated attitude to embeddings that you tend to get from a surface level understanding i.e. that adjective, noun or other PoS type or presence is more important for similarity (e.g. adjectives are closer to each other in Word2Vec but NOT consistently so in generative embeddings).

Ofcourse embeddings prefixed will be generally closer. You misunderstand the use case and are looking at embeddings in an outdated way. The point is thus:

When I want to use embeddings to model newspaper articles, I put "Article:" infront of the topic as I embed it, and for that purpose they will suite my needs better. When I need to use embeddings for temperature or scientific literature purposes, I might put "Temperature:" in front of them, and "Burning"/"Freezing" will be further apart. That is useful in a way that Word2Vec, GloVe and even to lesser degree SBERT cannot do.

The misconception you claim is based on Word2Vec and GloVe and not true generall - words can have several senses with polysemy, as can phrases anyhow so it's a difficult point to argue for in the first place - when you say " words that have the opposite meaning will have opposite embeddings. Instead, words with opposite meanings have a lot in common" is only true of embeddings from Word2Vec, GloVe, and the early BART era, which are quickly falling out of fashion as they are limited. Your understanding is dated, and you see a misconception, because you have failed to adequately explore or understand the possible use cases or representations viable with these embeddings. There is so much more! You can embed across languages. You can embed conversations!

As for your call to authority - I don't need to make such a claim - I'm sorry if you work in a job stuck in the past trying to apply pre 2020 understanding of NLP to 2024 models but well, that sounds like your choice. To me, it sounds like you're assuming the past holds true and taking points absolutely; is that really wise in a fast-changing field? There have been several hackathons about embeddings. Try exploring the recent ones and look at what is really possible.
Or perhaps the system in the 9 is more accurate/detailed in preparation for this feature.

At least they get to keep their two days of WFH.

New policy - five days RTO, two days WFH, per week.
Sometimes the goal is to shed some of your most expensive people to cut costs or open up some roles for churn to bring employees up. My employer occasionally does buy outs where they offer payouts to people with certain tenure at the company (and I think age combined) to leave. A few people take that then come back as contractors at even higher rates to solve the lost knowledge but that's for uncommon niches like mainframe people.

Marketing is also the process of surveying the market and deciding what to make in the first place.
Doesn't Amazon also have offices all over the world plus remote consultants and contractors? My last year of pre-pandemic work (not Amazon) I spent working from NYC for a client in the Midwest, with developers in South America and an account team on the west coast. Executives were so proud they could staff teams from anywhere on anything to maximize labor utilization and reduce costs. I would go to the office and see none of my team. This was considered peak collaboration. I would WFH whenever I felt like it because nobody would notice. Now all of a sudden we have to be together again.
It obviously depends on your needs, if your software needs complex controls, responsive layouting and tries to achieve a smartphone-type UI, then yes I using chromium is the way to go with a c++ backend that does the heavy lifting.

Qt has a big advantage if your content is rather static and you can just top-down layout everything via anchors and rather fixed positions. But in those cases you also generally don't use complex controls that layer ontop of each other.

In my opinion it should be communicated quite clearly that QML is very good for "small" embedded UIs like for general home appliances, but if you are planning to create a rather complex application with demands like responsive layouting, custom data structures, interfacing with existing apis, then you far better off just using chromium with a custom backend. That has far less UI-breaking bugs.

Qt accidentally COMPLETELY broke lighting in Qt3d: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-100402

That's something I find completely unacceptable and I haven't encountered something that application-breaking in chromium (yet).
Given 50 states and independent weather in each state, on average one state would experience each "once every 500 years" extreme weather event every decade. Of course in reality weather is not independent across political borders, but there are also many more locations where flood levels can be measured than just one per state. So depending on the details "once every 500 years" may not be as rare as it sounds, even without deviation from historical patterns.
Not necessarily better, at least for the company. The slow burn works out much better for them:

- Gets rid of employees who were on the fence of leaving anyway

- No need to pay out unemployment

- No need to pay out unused PTO (depends on the state)

- No need to notify months in advance (WARN act [1]) or risk heavy fines

- End up with "loyal" employees in the end

If they can get through the short-term pain of losing some good workers, it will eventually balance out, and the show will go on.

Bitching about parentheses in Lisp is like bitching about house cats having claws. Parentheses in Lisp are a feature, not a bug. They enable a great deal of Lisp's power.

If you really are allergic to parentheses the proper solution is to use a different language, not to mutilate Lisp by having its claws removed.
One thing both for and against GTK as an alternative to Qt is that Qt is not just a GUI framework, it's an application development framework. That means if you depend too heavily on it and later want to switch to GTK, you'll have to rip up a lot more than just your GUI code and you'll find that GTK doesn't provide alternative to those other things. IMHO GTK being limited to the GUI is a good thing and my main complaint is lack of respect for API stability as a key feature.
Many critical people will leave. The problem is that issues of brain drain, process devolution and lost institutional expertise are effects that only occur years after the cause. When you try and figure out why all of your internal services are down because one core server is in a bootloop and the engineer with knowledge of it all has left.

Speaking from my own personal perspective, it's quite frankly scary how many teams and companies are running with skeleton crews because they've chased off a lot of competent engineers and think they can coast by with the bare minimum. Stuff like what happened to Boeing or Crowdstrike are great examples of the end result, and a lot more companies than you'd expect are operating right on the critical failure margins. The concept of redundancy has outright vanished.
I see Mayor Bruce Harrell rubbing his hands together as he slowly nods in approval of all this.

Hopefully where I work doesn't try to pull this off. At least my manager would not like it one bit seeing as their commute is already 50 min one way 2 to 3 times a week. But who am I kidding, it will probably happen and then I get to sit on video calls in the office with all the people I collaborate with across the states and europe.
GPLv3 only. Qt at least has an LGPL option. So it seems more constraining.

I remember I was screen sharing while troubleshooting something at a new job. I hadn't really set up my mac, and most everything was still defaults until I got a working build/deploy. One of the founding engineers said "You should turn bells off on your terminal. If [the CTO] sees that, he will give you so much shit." I should have taken that weird but ultimately innocent interaction as a sign that I was walking into an absolutely insane environment.

It's a tangent, but the bell character is a left over from how people used to do what you are asking for. Your question just reminded me of that strange conversation and harsh reaction.
> i can't believe how out of touch some of these rich corporate execs are, as if everyone's aim in life should be to pour every ounce of their energy to make some massive trillion dollar corporation even richer

It might not be that they're "out of touch" but rather they just don't care. Sort of like slaveholders back in the day, who often complained about how their slaves were lazy and how unjust it was that the slaves weren't giving their all.
This is 100%. I've been using mine close to a decade not only mask size but seal type. My wife can only use the foam rubber type masks I use the regular ones. I also have a Resmed Airsense with the heated hose and it really helps.

It took me a few weeks to truly get comfortable but now I can't imagine life without it. Never thought there would be a time when I could get 6-7 hours sleep and I would be fully rested.
Heated humidification is a crux. You only "really" need it when you have a mouth leak ( or if it's awfully cold and dry in your bedroom, like an igloo?). It also vastly increases the amount of maintenance you have to do on your CPAP device. It makes your masks wear our quicker. It makes your hose more susceptible to growing mold etc.

The real trick is to fix your mouth leak. Getting on the right pressure helps with that. Fixing your sleeping position can help. Mouth tape can help. A cervical collar can help. Anything that will help you keep your mouth shut at night.

>Why do people even buy QT Commercial? LGPL is a very easy license to comply with.

Qt is used a lot on embedded devices (i.e. car infotainment systems, smart TVs, smart appliances, etc). Complying with LGPLv3 means that the user must be allowed to reverse engineer the product and upload a modified version of the software to the product. This blocks practices such as firmware signing, so a lot of companies would rather pay for Qt than comply with LGPLv3.
In the previous startup I worked at, we set up a PR action that played a celebration thingy after every PR merge. We used https://github.com/leokster/dingdong_sonos to play on the Sonos speakers. Fun little gimmick but not really as a usecase like colors for linting etc.
I'm heartened that this article is getting the cold shoulder here it deserves. Shut it, Larry.

Modern traffic radars have enough spatial and velocity resolution to apply a tailgating measurement. There are existing speed camera systems that can detect and ticket vehicles for tailgating, after a manual review of video and telemetry data (often just a quick glance and mouse click from a police officer).

There are relatively few jurisdictions that have a concrete quantitative definition of tailgating. So it's not yet widespread, but law enforcement certainly has the option available now.
I chuckle but this may not be far off?

I don't buy that the "heart of the game" is at the table. It's at the table where the game is being played, by the rules that the game sets up. In a way that no one had ever really played before, and a way everyone ended up playing since.

You can barely call D&D anti-medieval; it isn't from a world of obsessing about Tolkien-style fantasy. It's Gygax coming up with rules for miniatures wargaming where players are individuals within a group rather than being entire sides of a war and moving armies, or being squad-level and choosing how to move squad members. That was the important part that influenced the entire world. All of the players were part of a single squad, and working (and cooperating) as individuals for their own benefit.

These rules were then applied to Gygax's (and everybody else's) favorite fantasy novels. The thing that varied most about those novels was the idea of magic, so the only influence on his system from fiction that I recall is the stat-friendly Jack Vance magic, which would end up imposed onto other settings.

But it's still fair to call the system anti-medieval as the article does because it was made for a competitive multiplayer tabletop game which was meant to progress over sessions, and the main aspect of its progression are stats. So it has to be as fair as possible, and you have to be able to accumulate indefinitely rather than die in the same place you were born with no more than your parents had. That's American myth, not medieval reality. There can't be a medieval system, because that would crush all of the characters, starting by burning all of the witches. If every character were a fighter trying to get ahead by fighting in an army, there's no D&D, because D&D is individual, not squad or army.

HTTP as a pure transport protocol keeps coming back to the default, because it works. Its superpower is that it pushes stateless (and secure) design from end to end. You have to fight a losing battle to get around that, so if you play along, you can end up with better power efficiency, resiliency and scalability.

REST is just very simple to understand and easy to prototype with. There's better abstractions on top of HTTP, like GraphQL and gRPC (as you mentioned), but you can layer those on after you have a working solution and are looking for more performance.

HTTP3 is on the way this decade and I'm excited for its promises. Given how long it took for HTTP2 to standardize, I'm not optimistic it will be soon, but it does mean we have a path forward.

It's likely not even big factor, PRC industry only uses ~30% of oil, with PMI over 50 in most months last year, i.e. manufacturing still expanding = more need for fossil as industrial inputs / feedstocks.

However, ~60% used in transportation, 10% in heating - the sectors being displaced by EVs / renewables. Sinopec already projected peak gasoline in 2024 last year, a couple years earlier than expected due to EV adoption, which currently exceeds projections at time of Sinopec prediction. Current slice of ~10mbb (out of 16 total) per day used in transportation is only going to go down, or ~ 10% of global consumption. Sentiment is due to EV adoption but probably too early to assume everyone, i.e. the other 90% can adopt EVs and renewables at same scale/speed as PRC.

Indeed - one of my big complaints about 5e is that the rules leave way too much up to the discretion of the DM. And I say this as a DM! I'm not an expert in game design, so having a framework given by the rules is extremely important to me. But all too often 5e's designers didn't do that, just leaving it up to DMs to invent something from whole cloth.
