Yes, fluorescence imaging is a standard technique that I have performed a lot. The colors are arbitrary, and there is always post-processing - adjusting the signal intensity so that any background signal from negative control slides is removed. However, that doesn't make it an artistic representation, which is what their caption says.
Wouldn't you want to be loyal to the productions themselves rather than whatever streaming service is exhibiting them? Do you have that much faith in the creative talent at the streaming services?

many people are dismissing this paper because it has errors in spelling and grammar.

this is a terrible heuristic for evaluating AI papers. If you use it, you will miss a lot of good work by very strong researchers with below-average English writing skills.

I have not read this paper carefully so claim nothing one way or the other about its quality. It superficially seems like a pleasant and timely survey although a little flag-planty.
There is a slight of hand that is done in these arguments - some take “immigrant” to mean “anyone who was not born in Canada” and others take it to mean “any non-citizen/temp worker”.

Those are two vastly different groups even if one contains the other.
Coffee shop is excellent background noise for many people. Back in the day I had some audio online and used it instead of white noise. It worked very well to help me concentrate until I started to notice the same sounds since it was a loop.

>First of all, the aging population is the one with all the wealth.

The working age population is the wealth. For example, you can have a country with 90 retired people and 10 working people. The 90 retired people can have $1M or $1B or $1T in their accounts, but it isn't going to matter if they have insufficient products/services to buy. The money just provides a relative ranking of what proportion of product/service is allocated to whom.

Even working near a middle manager means you're working somewhere with three or more layers of management, which suggests a concerning enthusiasm for hierarchy and smells a bit too much like Omelas for comfort.

Oh, I don't know - in my (admittedly limited and very individual / company-specific) experience, the senior management was hard to relate to from the perspective of us rank and file, but clearly had the Sword of Damocles over their head at all times, and tended to get swept away arbitrarily every few years as the winds of corporate politics changes direction. It seemed to require some exceptional execution (or luck) to defer this cycle for even a year or two.

Depends what you mean by senior management, of course. I'm thinking mostly the "VP / SVP of Engineering" type role, and to a lesser degree, one hop down, the "Senior Director" folks, who seemed to be subject to the same phenomenon but on a slightly slower cycle.

I can't say for everyone, but my current Mazda 3 (and I suspect my previous tenth-gen Civic) lifts to only one side at a time. There is no jack point (in the manual at least) at the front allowing you to jack the vehicle (with the single included jack) and put in jack stands for both sides.

Suggests the jack is included only to change a tire at the side of the road, not for maintenance. You were right earlier though, inexpensive ramps for work would be fine.
It would be fascinating to see how this number trends over time. Many of my peers never wanted to be managers, but then they had children. Suddenly they were much more open to being managers and getting the associated pay increases.

I suspect this number trends down over time.

Thanks for writing the summary notes and sharing those here. After reading the Usenix article, I was thinking that we could apply some of the ideas at $WORK, but the exact "How" was still not super clear. Your notes offer a compact and accessible starting point without having to ask colleagues to dive in to a 100+ page PDF. :D
It's funny how the people of Germany think of this in exactly the same way you describe, except for that last part. They replace that by "country X will suck up most of the economic benefit".

Meanwhile the policies the EU makes are created by politicians from each of the EU member states. Some of them being originally proposed by politicians from the very countries whose citizens decry them the most.

It's fun to draw parallels to "the federal government sucks for reason X" in the US.

Truly poetic to watch.

What is this "remote system which keeps installing new stuff" that you speak of?
Ethnicities and tribes and inclusion therein are ambiguous, and it changes over time. Look at any society and its history. They're not homogeneous. All the historical countries and tribes were multiethnic.

One example is Rome. Every region or province, even Italia, consisted of different ethnic groups. At one point there was a diverse group in a small area called the Latins. The Romans were a single ethnic group in Latium who first took over and assimilated the other Latins who were distinct, then whole peninsula absorbing Etruscans and celts and Greeks in the south and others, absorbed people from all over Europe and north Africa and Asia minor...

But it's fashionable among young internet white supremacists to say these were all pasty white dudes.

The truth is it's an anachronism to compare racial categorizations from two different time periods where differences were not seen in the same way or with the same context. Afaik the Romans didn't really have a construct of race that was the same as our modern ones. And they assimilated and erased many distinctions over time.
I personally use FreeTaxUSA but TurboTax has a really, really nice workflow for simple 1040s, which is most of them. And they improve it every year. Also, the premiums Intuit charges matter not when the customers paying them think it's coming from "free money" anyway.
> Of course, these LLMs won’t replace software engineers anytime soon, because it requires a strong engineering background to recognize what is actually a good idea, along with other constraints that are domain specific. Even with the amount of code available on the internet, LLMs can’t discern between average code and good, highly-performant code without guidance.

There are some objective measures which can be pulled out of the code and automated (complexity measures, use of particular techniques / libs, etc.) These can be automated, and then LLMs can be trained to be decent at recognizing more subjective problems (e.g. naming, obviousness, etc.). There are a lot of good engineering practices which come down to doing the same thing as the usual thing which is in that space rather than doing something new. An engine that is good at detecting novelties seems intuitively like it would be helpful in recognizing good ideas (even given the problems of hallucinations so far seen). Extending the idea of the article to this aspect, the problem seems like it's one of prompting / training rather than a terminal blocker.
Deepwalking in Clojure
Who can blame them after the previous generation gave them a perfect preview of life as a middle manager via Office and Office Space.
The empty parts start just outside the cities, so obviously yes.

The thing is there is no REASON to; a city can’t really be self-fulfilling until after it has grown for some other reason (oil, or crops, or shipping, etc).

I suppose Canada could chose to move the capital to some small town in Nunavut and cause a population boom there.
That's my company!
Depends on if they have a menu that is a superset of the standard coffee shop fare or not. This one in SoMa unsurprisingly has decaf, in the form of espresso, because they want to be ready for their foot traffic. https://delahcoffee.com/
I doubt this wasn’t also true for young millenials or genx or boomers. 20 year-olds don’t generally want to be middle managers.
asking without malicious intent : is this behavior just attention-seeking for the rich and famous?

If Carmack mentioned a new game he was working on every other week people would stop and listen (and it would likely eventually materialize), but with Notch it feels more like "Oh, it's the annual big announcement where he reminds people that he makes games and that he continues to exist.", but the past few of those announcements have been filled with redirected ire (see: Microsoft, fans, the gaming industry, government, money), and the comments are filled with guru-like personal advice replies to fan questions about video games w.r.t. questions that don't call for the advice whatsoever.

All the more power to him if he releases another hit. I happened to think that the personality traits he acquired after his success are at odds with further critical successes.

What's wrong with "best practices"? I get the feeling the best practices you're complaining about are TPS reports, whereas I'm thinking more like "don't ship to prod on Fridays".
Those videos are apex quality videos. You might as well ask for Nobel prize literature quality essays from ChatGPT.

You can probably imitate the structure/scaffolding of a 3b1b video in a cargo cult way, but you are losing domain expert level verification of quality (which is why AI fails, because it's not a domain expert).

So heres how I'm hearing yoir question, and it answers itself: "how do I get domain expert quality from a non-domain expert AI?"....
A few more years, and Microsoft Middle Manager 2.0 will be doing this job.

AIs will take over middle management simply because they're faster and have more bandwidth than humans. They don't have to be smarter, just better coordinated.
As Patton once said, "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week."

Things change a lot between Version 3 and 6 of something, and something written 5 years ago may no longer apply or be valid today.
Can you provide some specific examples that inform your viewpoint?
The speed is the problem.

Nobody is willing to go “long” on housing when the government can go “short” on supply at any time.

So you have to normalize that somehow, and since the government controls immigration levels, it should subsidize housing construction to match, somehow.

> Federal government gave billions of incentives

Canada did this with a housing accelerator fund, for municipalities. Did not amount to much of anything. It's not clear if provinces can override but there's no political will for it. Without reading the numbers for Australia, I expect reform has been modest.

> Less immigrants makes the house situation better but not does not solve the problem.

You contradict yourself in the same sentence. The same result can be achieved whether improving elasticity or reducing the immigration rate. "the problem" is the affordability, not the elasticity. That is your just preferred vector.

Even if zoning is improved, you can't defy the laws of physics; housing will still be relatively inelastic, whereas immigration rate can be much higher.

Australia's population growth rate was less than 1% last year, basically on par with US. Canada's was 3%. Incomparable. No amount of zoning reform will be enough to handle that sustainably.

It concerns me how much of the commentary here is about this or that partisan argument. If Harris had won we’d have those policies for a maximum of eight years, as it stands we’ll have these policies for a maximum of four.

Bezos will be buying newspapers and pushing out journalism critical of him for decades. He’ll be further monopolizing everything from retail to cloud compute in defiance of antitrust law, and further lobbying at this scale, and further privatizing space travel, and all the godawful shit that these guys either have done or clearly plan to for decades, there is no term limit on unaccountable billionaire with monopoly pricing power and arbitrary campaign financing apparatus.

This or that president for one term is just irrelevant at such scale and scope and duration.
Please remove this post, it's rage bait and the discussion in here is absolutely the worst thing I have seen on HN in many years.
If people really cared about the fertility rate they’d ask those with two kids what it would take for them to have a third. The answers could be used to modify policy, but it’s more important to give tax credits for EVs, apparently.
Ok - definitely fair. While I HAVE heard of VW and ArchiCAD, (I suppose I might toss Bently into the mix as well) I don’t have extensive knowledge of these programs. Therefore, take my opinion as just that. However, from my understanding, those others focus more heavily on a CAD-like environment (SketchUp is another common one here) as opposed to “BIM” (where I would define BIM as essentially a database driven type of CAD with OOP bolted on). So in that sense they are certainly suitable for drafting and may compete for the same market share, but are fundamentally different. My use case was from the perspective from an ElecEngineering team operating within an AE firm in the US. I also understand ArchiCAD is more popular outside of the US.
Yes but that isn't at all reflective of Canada and things in the UK aren't looking that great.
Without data about what previous generation said to exactly the same questions, at the same age, the conclusions comparing GenZ attitudes to those of prior generations are completely meaningless.

Maybe GenX youth and young Boomers before them also thought management was fuddy-duddy.

Hippies, hello?

It wasn't GenZ that produced the movie Office Space, The Office sitcom or Dilbert.

(Speaking of which, exposure to these kinds of cultural artifacts likely plays a role in the GenZ outlook.)

For as long as I can remember, corporate management has been ridiculed in popular culture. It's a set of common tropes.

A kindergarten kid saying they want to be a middle manager when they grow up can be predicted to be an instant howler.
> There is no jack point (in the manual at least) at the front allowing you to jack the vehicle (with the single included jack) and put in jack stands for both sides.

That is not how you put the front up on stands with one jack and the manual's indicated tire change jack points. You jack up one side, using the "jack point" for changing that front tire on that side, insert one jack stand on that side, then you switch to the other side, jack up the other side using its approved "jack point", and insert the other jack stand on the other side.
Why do tree trunks not show up?
Last I checked immigration isn't doing to well in the EU either.
For example, having a debate about climate change with one scientist from each side of the debate is insane because there's scientific consensus on only one side of that debate. Trying to cast equal light on both sides of a topic tips the scale in favor of the minority opinion.

Or take some reporting about DT's insane idea to take over Greenland, treating it like a legitimate idea and polling people about their thoughts just further legitimatizes absolute insanity.

It's like credit cards. It's amazing benefits wouldn't exist without leagues of people chronically keeping a balance against near-usury levels of interest in some cases, but, fortunately, the set of people that use them correctly is much much smaller.

Most people irl don't give a shit about ads.

Evidence A: NFL and soccer growing in popularity every year despite 90 sec of ads every 5-10 minutes.

Evidence B: Netflix cheap and Spotify free being more than enough for millions of people.

Without them, our entire industry wouldn't exist. Being able to dunk on ads and invest time on ad blockers is a privilege, really.

Thermometers Are Hot Garbage
They are above the employees and below the C suite.

You probably could just call them "managers" with little loss of meaning. But the term "middle management" can connote a kind of useless that makes them different from "front line managers". The difference seems to depend on how useless your front line managers appear to be.

I hear this, but it seems a shallow take.

You'd generally have to have the urban areas be one state, and everything else another. But those areas still have large numbers of people aligned with the other party, so those people will be even more disenfranchised.

And if a county "flips" parties in one election, do you then move it between state lines?

Just seems really unworkable.
If that is the case why is Canadas population expanding almost faster than ever recorded???

You would think to combat birthdates you would increase immigration to an appropriate level not 10x it in 5 years.

Secondly immigration has a complicated affect on demographics since the people coming are generally 21 or older which is very clearly different than a birth which starts at 0 years old
Thank you for writing this. Not gonna cry for this guy, he clearly appears to be a POS who happened to sell a screen recording software company at an obscene price.

My general takeaway from a bunch of comments is that there were two death waves for these late night places. But, I have a great fix.

First, Starbucks committed coffeeshopicide by targeting local hangouts that were successful, and then spraying their own burnt grounds, driving up real estate and making it impossible for a small, less efficient shop to survive. I saw this happen at several great places in Portland. Then, obviously a career climbing executive at Starbucks tried to get promoted and tightened up hours.

The second wave of late night coffee shop deaths occured with COVID and homelessness (really McKinsey and Purdue opioids, read "When McKinsey Comes to Town") because of safety. No one, big or small, can offer a space and decide which hipster can stay and which has to leave because he is now addicted to drugs and not just Instagram dopamine.

The solution: cities should offer a tax break to a coffee shop that stays open late. And, cities should offer a match where they create a space nearby for homeless people to congregate late night. I'm sure there is a correlation between the number of homeless and soon-to-be homeless creative types.

I'm saddened late night coffee shops have largely disappeared, these Yemeni shops look terrific. And, they bring the social back to meeting places, and I don't mean social media and laptops.
Ads haven't always existed. Economies without them can exist and we can move toward one.
I honestly think it's like 50%
My understanding is that all corporate positions above rank and file — and especially the C-levels — live in a meat grinder where the only viabile strat is "figure out how to kill competition on the corporate chaos/ladder before it kills you".

Of course this acts as a filtering mechanism to refine psychopathy and their decision tree about how to treat their labor force, the communities their corporations exist within, their customers, and even their investors reflect how they've treated people to get where they are already: exploit and discard.
I’ve worked at some companies with senior managers that were really good at training other managers and good at fixing problems at a department / org level. Rare, but it happens.

Not sure the editor of the Economist had a fever dream and thought he was employed by The Onion or the author is still drunk from New Year's eve.
Oh it very much has been. Things like forced assimilation were very much employed against Sami, as well as (in the UK) Celtic peoples, (Ireland) the Irish, France (Bretons) and others, seemingly mostly in Eastern Europe. And, while not indigenous, Jews and Romani have faced centuries of on-and-off slaughter, forced assimilation/conversion, expulsion, etc., culminating in the Holocaust. And that's just off the top of my head.
Congrats! The app (and the website) look really polished.
I use it. It’s not a revolution, but it’s an upgrade over vscode+copilot. Only a matter of time until the two have feature parity, though.
The most important managers are the ones that serve as an actual translation layer bridging the gap between corporate business speak and developers.
