This is not a comprehensive response to your question but 41% of patients with BMI over 28 have sleep apnea, and that number grows to 78% by the time you get referred for bariatric surgery.

There is in fact a mathematical relationship. [1]

> For every 7-pounds drop in weight, expect a 7% drop in [apnea severity index].

It's basically caused by tongue fat, pharyngeal/neck fat and visceral/fat in the upper belly. [2]

I strongly suspect it's just a question of how much weight you lose. If you get down to 15% body fat you really won't have apnea anymore. Not for everyone, there's probably some structural issues that can also cause it, but if it's adiposity-induced, which it is for a huge number of people...

For the rest with skeletal or nasal structure issues, surgery may be appropriate.

This is awesome. I had just written off the reduced quality of my external displays and gotten used to it. I feel like I just put my contacts in after turning on HiDPI. Just wanted to say thanks!

Edit: Also want to mention that window sizes and various UI elements also snapped into their 'intended' locations. Two screens, both 1440p, one ultrawide for anyone reading. YMMV.

I don't understand how the massive rise in residential real estate prices from 2020 to 2022 shows any dots between RTO and home prices being connected.

Watching the Watchdogs: Tracking SEC Inquiries Using Geolocation Data

Commute really is key. When I used to have a 15-minute bike commute, I voluntarily went to the office five days a week. The 30 minutes spent each day is just good exercise.

Now I take the train that's 30 minutes long each way. I don't get the benefit of exercise, the time spent is doubled, and now I'm only going to the office three days a week.

Yeah, honestly this looks like a poorly-disguised mass layoff.
That's an extremely sensible idea in multiple dimensions. It prioritises clarity of thought over rambling discussion in conference calls. I wonder if there's a feasible path to gradually steer an existing organisational structure in that direction.
> Leveraging de-identified smartphone geolocation data, we provide new insights into the SEC's monitoring practices by tracking SEC-associated devices that visit firm headquarters. Our findings reveal that the majority of SEC visits occur outside of formal investigations, with larger firms and those with a history of SEC enforcement actions being more frequently visited. These visits often cluster within industries. Notably, the SEC associated devices venture to firms both within and outside their own regions. On average, these visits are material, evidenced by significant stock price reactions, even in the absence of subsequent formal investigations or enforcement actions. Last, we observe a chilling effect on insider behavior around these SEC interactions; insiders are less likely to sell around visits. However, when sales do occur, insiders avoid substantial losses.
As a former senior person at aws although I left on good terms I will never return there and this stuff cements the deal for me. I need a company that respects my decisions on how I do best in my career and not surveil of police my work style. As long as I am a trusted leader who delivers results that customers need why does anyone care where my bag of water is physically located? Who are you to tell neurodivergent employees to suffer? People who had an organ transplant to expose themselves to death? How petty are the tyrants.
> - Execs truly believe that culture and productivity are better in office (i.e., what they actually say in their announcements)

I think this is the reason, but its more nuanced than this. Management finds in-office employees easier to manage. They are more likely to attend meetings, participate in team communication, give status updates, etc. There's much less of a question around "is this person doing the work" if you can see them doing something that looks like work in the office. If you are blocked or are blocking someone, it's a tap on the shoulder instead of sending a message into the ether.

Management of remote employees is a huge information gathering exercise - very little of the above information is proactively surfaced to you, and instead you have to go looking for it. Frankly, it's just a lot more work for managers.

I realize the above may not be fair to employees, or that the perceptions of managers accurately resemble the truth - just stating what I think is going on.
>From my experience though WFH just doesn’t work. People aren’t as invested in the company and they produce worse results.

> For startups especially, hiring unionized software engineers would be disastrous

I agree for start-ups. But Amazon is not a start-up. Somewhere around Dunbar's number [1], a union begins to make sense. Beyond an order of magnitude past it, i.e. ~1,500 employees, it almost always does.

It’s a shame for sure, as I’ve occasionally used sites like TA as a consumer. But it’s also not anything I’d ever actually pay for. If these kinds of sites go away then I’ll just go on living without them. They’re nice to have, but they’re not necessary by any stretch. Life will go on, with or without video game journalism.
It’s not justice towards the employer, but justice towards your peers, both those who you work with directly, as well as those who are negatively impacted because you took a job that could have been someone else’s.

If you want to have multiple jobs at the same time, there is a vehicle available for that, it’s called “consulting”.

I don’t think anyone should have loyalty towards their employer - you should be free to jump ship to a better gig whenever you want, in the same way they are free (in the US) to let you go at their convenience. But taking multiple full time jobs is wrong, imo.
Every now and then I enjoy the opportunity to build things without planning around them. No ceremony, no tickets - just pure code and building things people are interested in or are looking to solve problems.

I had a good friend just leave AWS. The money was amazing, but he said it was an awful place to work. He took another job at a much lower compensation after 3 months. He didn't want to go into details due to his NDA. He's a very reasonable person and very easy to get along with, so I have no idea what to make of that.

No, layoffs is still the wrong word. If I'm a 100 person company and I lay off 50 employees, I'm now a 50 person company. If I'm a 100 person company and I institute an RTO mandate and 50 people leave, I replace those people with 50 other people and I'm still a 100 person company.

> Things like this have a tendency to backfire though ... the people who will chose to quit will be the ones who can most easily get new jobs - the best people. The ones who are unhappy but less able to move will just RTO as pissed off employees.

There are lots of reasons good people quit. Good people are not universally against RTO. Many are. But many other good people stuck around at Amazon even after the mandated 3 days per week in office, and many good people will stick around with 5 days per week.
The scratch paper is a fantastic analogy. I’m going to use it.
Our employees average less than 2 days in the office a week and we had remote work before the pandemic. I myself work from home often. Our situation is different than Amazon obviously.
I am living the life of the other group if we're talking about remote workers, I certainly don't think I said anything aggressive or condescending.

I think you got too spun up by the evil They you usually hear talking about this: whatever you're saying here sounds obvious.

The reason why people got confused with your comment is because ex. you purport it was fine, it can never happen again, and everyone who didn't agree went to 0.

Lot of tensions between those things.

We also understand how one person could have those views and even steelman it into something intellectually consistent. But then the post seems really off because it's sort of a rushed, poor, justification for why you believe something, coupled to bemoaning some sort of unrelated group none of us are privy to.
Absolutely! There are many stories of them shutting off services for and then directly competing with their customers in both the software and the retail space.
No, the DMA very likely bans it. The EU won't say in advance and has been loudly threatening fines of 10% of global revenue.

DMA forbids using your platform's data or position to support a service without giving third parties equal access. Third parties are pretty clearly excluded from screen mirroring or running ai on device, so these seem like things Apple can't legally launch in the EU.
I'm curious why you say "there is no such thing as a root cause". Is this because that's what you genuinely believe, or was this just Amazon culture?
Good point, you're right. Added. Thank you.
Some scholars think it's making judgement based on race. Others scholars think only those in power opinions matters and those without power can make judgements based on race and that wouldn't be considered racism. Others think it's a natural and norm thing based on tribalism.

But in your example a person of color would have a higher status in America compared to an Indian national. So the person of color is being racist.

In the future the only acceptable version will be the first because keeping track of who had power in what context is going to be impossible to track and can get easily shifted. That's the definition the law uses currently.
It certainly is lol, how did you guess?
> It bothers me and makes it difficult to take the article seriously.

But if you’re in the chip game AI is the big thing of the last 10 years. It’s driven a huge chunk of new sales and demand for upgraded choices than they likely would have seen otherwise.

Having missed out on AI in many ways (nVidia was perfectly positioned, AMD better than Intel) they need stuff to keep growing.

Their current business is looking shakier than any time in recent history. ARM is getting pretty realistic on the desktop. Apple proved it and now Samsung and Qualcomm have parts for Windows users that perform well enough (compared to the failure of early ARM on Windows).

They’re behind on selling silicon for AI to business and it’s not clear consumers care enough to upgrade their PCs. And when consumers upgrade they have not only great options from AMD, doing better than ever, but the ARM threat.

They’re being squeezed on all sides. The PS6 wouldn’t make them dominant but it would have been a very steady and reliable revenue stream for years and a chance at parlaying that into additional business. “See what we did for Sony? We can do that for you.”

The article seemed rather well done to me. I think you’re being too dismissive in this case.
Sorry I don't really get what you are talking about. They can just sell like ordinary PC games. Yeah, they can price really high if they so wish, but it's going to impact the sales.
I like your comment, but it doesn't go far enough! The other issue here is the price of FLOPS is still dropping; so even if training the model weights was a moat it will probably evaporate quickly over the next few years if price trends hold. All this capital spend would have been much cheaper if deferred by a few years.

If they aren't making massive profits right now then there may well be a problem.
>org chart becomes architecture

Tbh, it didn't work for us: our org chart changes more frequently than the codebase's architecture (people come and go, so teams are combined, split, etc. to account for that, many devs also like rotation, because it's boring to work on the same microservices forever), so in the end basically everyone owns everything. Especially when to implement a feature, you have to touch 10 microservices -- it's easier and faster to do everything yourself, than to coordinate 10 teams.

>Second, with monoliths, there is some temptation to violate API boundaries if it let's you get the job done quickly, at the expense of causing headaches later: Just reuse a private until method from another module

This is solvable with a simple linter: it fails at build time if you try to use a private method from another module. We use one at work, and it's great.
> and nothing I wrote suggests that financials and health of the business are linked.

For profit businesses exist to make money. That is all. Any other claim is fairy dust and bullshit. IBM may not be making waves anywhere but they are still pulling at least 10 billion in profit so they are doing a hell of a lot better than most other companies.
> for something that can [again] usually be permanently solved with other forms of treatment.

Just not true. The vast majority of obese people who try to lose weight without GLP-1 agonists fail. The only other option that consistently works is stimulants but the side effects for those is even worse, see requiem for a dream.
"A lot of people experience significant GI issues. And it isn’t clear yet if those issues are reversible after stopping."

I don't think there's any reasonable definition of "a lot" where this is true. A significant number of people experience GI issues. Most of them subside after a time. There is some evidence that a small number of people may experience more severe GI issues that don't go away after stopping.

"It’s still best for people to naturally control their weight and diet."

What is your evidence for this? Right now, it's looking like the "unnatural" GLP-1 agonists are racking up quite a score against "natural" methods like "willpower" and programmed diets. It's not a useful distinction, in any case. These medications cause reduced calorie consumption, and reduced calorie consumption causes weight loss naturally.

"Again"?
I dug into this. Apple's incentives aside, the bulk of intel's chips in macs are no longer supported by Intel or soon won't be. The more time passes the harder it is to keep those machines secure.

This is the best article I found on the topic. Note that once a mac is no longer supported for a new os the old os will get security updates for two years after that.

People see some stupid anecdote and then share the theory that fits whatever they believe to be true no matter how nonsensical it is.

If I told you the people on the north side of my grandma’s nursing home died before the people who lived on the south side, you’d have some theory about sunlight exposure and excessive mold growth on the north side of the building. Air pollution kills!

But then it turns out the north side is just where they put the sicker people.
A gas engine could certainly tow my race trailer, but at horrific mpg. I have a gas truck (gets a very nice 22mpg on the highway, which was 2mpg off my wife's RAV4 that seemed like it was powered by hamsters running on a wheel) and towing my trailer it got 3-5mpg. 3 to 5. My diesel gets 12mpg.

EGR "messing with" does affect power. EGR lowers combustion temps, and the thermodynamic work the engine is producing is directly affected by the temperature gradient between the combustion chamber and the outside air. Lower temp == lower efficiency. Does cut down on NOx, but let's at least be honest about the negatives.

My point is more like this: EGR seems to help with two things, 1. fixes the NOx problem (ok that is legitimate) 2. Injects soot into the engine's intake, covering everything in coke, but at a slow enough rate that they don't fail during the warranty period. Helps with planned obsolescence, considering how everything is made cheaper and crappier now, on purpose so you have to throw it away and buy a new one, no one is going to convince me that #2 isn't a net positive to the OEMs, and it also giving them a darn good reason not to search for other methods to reduce NOx emissions in a way that doesn't help the engines expire more quickly.

Like I said, I did not delete my truck, nor would I. I care about the environment and the air we all breathe. But I don't buy that there aren't other ways to solve these issues.

>Intel to Apple: "We're too big to deliver what you want for cell phones." Apple: "Ok. We'll use ARM."

Reality:

“We ended up not winning it or passing on it, depending on how you want to view it. And the world would have been a lot different if we’d done it. The thing you have to remember is that this was before the iPhone was introduced and no one knew what the iPhone would do… At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price for and not a nickel more and that price was below our forecasted cost. I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t one of these things you can make up on volume. And in hindsight, the forecasted cost was wrong and the volume was 100x what anyone thought.”
In real world, you have inexpensive to get metrics that act as proxy for the real problem that would be pretty complex or intrusive to measure. "Your pulse is elevated" message may be a warning to decide, if you have enough context and agency, what would be your next steps (or stop completely).

We have to take compromises between what we can do and measure and what would be the perfect policy. In this case you had as much as 2kb for the binary code and limited electronics, I'd say it was a fair enough compromise.

Maybe a second kind of (cheap enough in both electronics and intrusiveness) measurement could had added complementary reassessment that it could had been the right move. In modern systems we have multiple easy/cheap enough to get proxy metrics for a lot of decisions, sometimes we just take isolated ones to signal a potential problem, but in some cases that could be improved taking more into account.
The Engineering Manager role had been open for lt least 16 months. I emailed the VP of Engineering directly when I applied, but heard nothing. They don't seem to know how to hire or what they want.
People DO make up their definitions, and put together they create a communities standards of success and then eventually a societies.

Would you say a man that spends 40 years working 60 hours a week, alienating all friends and neighbors til he has no friends or anyone that respects him, no kids, no partner, and a group on ex employees that hate him for squeezing them to work under market value? Is he a success just because he accumulated 3x the capital he set out to when he started his business at 20 years old? Then dies suddenly alone, only for everyone that met him to chuckle and move on with their day?

Would that be a success by most people's standards? Does it even matter if it's a success by one person's standards? Are the school shooters a success because they accomplish their goals before death?
Maybe. A lot of people have to be in-person and a lot of people can't just casually trade off compensation for coming into an office if that's an option. There's probably more flexibility in general though some of that is as much about mobile communications as post-pandemic.
And with the PS5 Pro announced we know the PS5 is basically dead inside Sony’s engineering organization.

Other than a die shrink or chip reduction or something there’s not much else to do. The designs are basically done.

So all hardware work would currently be focused on the PS6. At least for the home console line.
True, it would be more accurate to say that what "zoom" is designed to do is expand the window as much as possible to display all the content, however the application defines that. For many applications, the result is a fully maximized window. On my MBA, Notes, Messages, Calendar, iTerm, Solvspace, and Mail all just fill the screen. For other applications that report specific content area to the OS that can mean something different. A finder window generally reshapes to show all the icons in icon view, or to maximize columns and names in list view.
