>To estimate the effects of sleep quality on the brain, the researchers surveyed approximately 600 adults on how well they slept. The participants were asked the same questions five years later and underwent brain scans 10 years after this.

This is press-release science. Maybe the latter three things you can remember, but I have sensors and whatnot in a fancypants mattress (i.e. I'm highly motivated to know), and my subjective opinion of my prior night's sleep is pretty uncorrelated with what they say. I couldn't begin to tell you the quality of my sleep from a week ago.
FYI (and to those concerned) I ended up changing the headline after Aravind clarified. Since they are an AI company offering AI-powered election-day tracking that would presumably have replaced what the striking folks supported, I think it was well justified at the outset, but now that he's backtracked would be misleading to leave it. Still not great!
many of the "fresh" verities are also grown explicitly for hardiness and transportability, and are often also not great in terms of taste or texture.

freezing meanwhile can preserve them on the spot and ensure the less transportable types can make it to consumers.

With a sufficient number of users of an API,
it does not matter what you promise in the contract:

will be depended on by somebody.

(There's something about the way people manage to phrase these that I really enjoy. Something about the succinct and clear expression of an idea that's otherwise really fuzzy in my head.)

It's interesting to think about the implementation being necessarily coupled with the interface. In some context that's obvious, but the idea that another implementation can't be freely swapped in -- because nuanced behavior (sometimes called a bug) in the original implementation is still expected -- is one I hadn't, as such, thought much about before.

This comment hits the nail on the head. Another big consideration with the technology in this paper that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is that it opens up a huge range of possibilities for targeting "undruggable" protein targets. Most drugs are small molecules that bind to sites an (relatively much larger) proteins, thereby getting in the way of their function. Unfortunately the vast majority of proteins do not have a site that can be bound by a molecule in a way that 1) has high affinity, 2) has high specificity (doesn't bind to other proteins) and 3) actually abolishes the protein's activity.

With "induced proximity" approaches like the one in this study, all you need is a molecule that binds the target protein somewhere. This idea has been validated extensively in the field of "targeted protein degradation", where a target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase, a protein that recruits the cell's native proteolysis machinery, are recruited to each other. The target protein doesn't have to be inactivated by the therapeutic molecule because the proteolysis machinery destroys it, so requirement #3 from above is effectively removed.

The molecule in this study does something similar to targeted protein degradation, but this time using a protein that effects gene expression instead of one that recruits proteolysis machinery. The article focuses on the fact that cancers are addicted to BCL6. This is an important innovation in the study and an active area of research (another example at [1]), but leaves out the fact that these induced proximity platforms are much more generalizable than traditional small molecules because it's the proteins that they recruit that do all the work rather than the molecules themselves. This study goes a long way to validate this principle, pioneered by targeted protein degradation and PROTACs, and shows that it can be applied broadly.

Building Conversational AI Applications with Twilio and the OpenAI Realtime API
Intrinsics are compatible across compilers and OSs within the same architecture, and are also mostly compatible between 32 and 64 bit variants of the same architecture. With asm, you have to handle the 3 different calling conventions between x86, x86-64, and win64, and also write two completely separate implementations for arm32 and arm64, instead of just one x86 intrinsic and one NEON intrinsic version. Sure ffmpeg tries to automatically handle the different x86 calling conventions with standard macros, but there's still some %if WIN64 scattered around, and 32-bit x86's register constraints means larger functions are littered with %if ARCH_X86_64.

Which brings us to the most "more effort" of assembly - no variables or inline functions, only registers and macros. Which is okay for self-contained functions a hundred lines or so, but less so with heavily templated multi-thousand line files of deeply intertwined macros nested 4 levels deep. Being able to write an inlined function that has no side effects felt a thousand lines away reduces mental effort by a lot, as does not having to redo register allocation across a thousand lines because you now need another temporary register for a short section of code, or even think about it much in the first place to still get near-optimal performance on modern CPUs.
Jesus christ thank you, folks on the internet are so quick to dismiss pay gaps just because we know what causes them as if that magically makes it not a problem.

Take one factor, women earn less because of mid-career halts due to having children, like the father didn't also have a child. Women bear the brunt because we're expected to be the primary caregivers, and this hurts men too due to the "father babysitting his kids" problem of considering the father's involvement as secondary.

You can say this isn't a problem for her employer to solve but as long as we
have no intention of upsetting the standard nuclear family gender roles men and women taking the default life path shouldn't consistently make one worse off than the other.
IMO those issues are fixable with good hiring and firing. But all the fixes for large timezone differences that I've seen have significant costs and tradeoffs. Usually you pay with velocity.

404 has existed for how long again? A couple years? "Storied pillar" seems melodramatic.
In the early 2000/2010s there was a popular idea that it'd be neat to have (de)serialization functionality that could perfectly roundtrip your language's native objects, without requiring that the objects be whatever the language uses as plain old data storage. In the happy case it worked super well and basically every language sufficiently dynamic to support it got a library which let you take some in memory objects, write them to disk, then restore them exactly as they were at some later time.

This had the obvious-in-retrospect major problem that it meant that your deserialization was functionally equivalent to eval(), and if an attacker could ever control what you deserialized they could execute arbitrary code. Many programmers did not realize this and just plain called deserialization functions on untrusted data, and even when people did become aware that was bad it still turned lots of minor bugs into RCE bugs. It was often a long and painful migration away from insecure deserialization methods because of how darn convenient they were, so it continued to be a problem long after it was well understood that things like pickle were a bad idea.

Who is claiming that in this thread, the linked Techcrunch article, or the tweet quoted in that article?

And even if the Perplexity CEO in particular, or AI tech executives generally were to make that claim elsewhere: Misquoting somebody to strengthen a point like that immediately and significantly reduces my trust in a source.

Also, I'd say that the fact that Techcrunch just changed the headline speaks for itself.
Everything You Need to Know About Batman: Arkham Shadow
1. Layoffs are usually not "you manager fires you on the spot for whatever reason and with no severance/compensation"

2. Layoffs are usually a less common occurrence than firing people. While the US sucks at labor laws in general, there's at least the WARN act for mass layoffs

3. Layoffs are when multiple people are let go at the same time, which is a distinct category from firing a single person

4. Hence there are often separate negotiations and separate clauses in the union contracts regarding firing a single person (one category) and laying off multiple people (a separate category)

The impact on election news coverage may not be that serious. Quoting from a NYT newsroom person:

"NYT Games and Cooking are BEHIND THE PICKET LINE. Please don’t play or engage with Games or Cooking content while the strike lasts!

News coverage — including election coverage — is NOT behind the picket line. It’s okay to read and share that, though the site and app may very well have problems."

You can use the same NixOS module for both declarative VMs and imperatively configured and spawned VMs.
I agree on the cloud thing. Don't agree that "high performance disks, ballooning memory, live migrations, and isolated workloads" preclude from using k8s - you can still run it as base layer. You get some central configuration storage, machine management and some other niceties for free and you can push your VM-specific features into your application pod. In fact, that's how Google Cloud is designed (except they use Borg not k8s but same idea).
Do NYT reporters wait for a quiet time to pump sources for information?

Time and space is strategic. If you have a unionized workforce without a contract or productive negotiations in progress ahead of a critical time, you’re rolling the dice.
Individual employees do not matter. Get a group of employees together to act in concert and you have a negotiating bloc that a company cannot ignore.

Especially as the bloc grows. If the "someone abroad" is also part of the same bloc, management ends up running out of people to turn to. A rising tide floats all boats.

(It's even more extreme in some countries. I've heard tale of situations in Scandinavian nations where a restaurant owner who mistreats their serving staff will find, in addition to the staff leaving and nobody being willing to scab for them, that their deliveries are delayed because nobody will drive ingredients to them and if their sink breaks down no plumber will take the contract to fix it).

My issue is I seem somehow wired to wake up early. I sleep better when I go to bed earlier. Screen use seems to have nearly no impact on my sleep, and what has the most impact is the type of screen usage (i.e. reading news, books & watching film is fine, but instagram/tiktok before bed tends to lead to worse sleep for me).
Pretty sure they're ready to make the deal if they get just-cause, work from home, and salary.

US Navy Admiral Hyman G. Rickover was said to have observed, "There are only two kinds of ships: submarines and targets".

In the modern era of low-cost drones and missiles, all surface ships are sitting ducks. The US Navy has missiles to shoot down aircraft and missiles, but these were designed to shoot down expensive Soviet aircraft. I think these missiles cost $1-2million each.

> so long as they're happy that I have mine.

We're not, because you're being pointlessly tedious about it. Things have names, they can't necessarily be logically explained.

Temperature is what I would have said though. Aga for example (long established cast iron range manufacturer) names its ovens like 'simmering oven', 'baking oven', 'roasting oven' on a 3 door, according to their approximate temperature. Roast potatoes would absolutely be produced from the roasting, not baking, oven.

The roast potatoes you ate in Cornwall were definitely cooked above a circa 160-180C baking temperature.

It's not infallible though, I 'bake' bread at 230C (at least outside the casserole).

The main thing is that things have names and the thing called 'baked potato' is not what you ate in Cornwall, it's an entirely different potato thing that also exists.

Rust is essentially a C++ replacement. If you can afford a garbage collector, there's no need to use Rust or C++ and worry about memory management. Some people are promoting Rust as a general purpose programming language - which it is in theory - but so did people with C++ in the 90s.

Minimizing memory allocations is typically what you want when you reach for Rust or C++.

We have a reliable way to do it: The same way the researchers did when they showed that performance is the most important factor for organizational success. If your knowledge workers measure the same way the workers did in that research, you're golden.

> Deemed “as less productive” by whom?

You've attempted to explain away pay gaps by saying it's because of lower roles and/or lower productivity, but that's just the same problem with an extra step. Why are they in lower roles? Why are they assessed as less productive? Are they inherently dumb/lazy/bad, or are we just back to "the pay gap exists because of biases" again?

Black NYT employees are likely very well aware that the biases they encounter are not unique to the NYT.
