Happy to give it a try but I have 10 years using tiling wms exclusively for research and work and I never wanted to have more than 5 workspaces. I think the nice thing about wms is that mental model to keep things lean and simple, similar t

I think the difference may be LLMs may not be laundered clean of copyright data anytime soon. Even if chatgpt got big and profitable, it's not so clear that it won't contain copyrighted data as that may simply be necessary to trai

I used to own one Garmin GPS and replaced it with my cellphone plus a mount. Updating the map was a major pain point. Now I'm really pleasantly surprised at how good the descent mk3 is which I wear all day and there's also inreach

Ha, I guess Trump is the pro business president after all since he's so transparently open for business himself. At least as of now it seems Bytedance outsmarted the detractors.

Given its origin and involvement in these high profile cases I always thought Crowdstrike is a government subsidized company which barely has any real function or real product. I stand corrected I guess.

She also believed she may have been unfairly retaliated against regarding her perf. That's probably the main reason she resigned. Not necessarily that the speaker was not approved.

Also it's not that rare that the other party forgets what their original stance on something is and in turn argue against you on that issue. Reminding them that hey this was your idea too can help you resolve that debate if it's u

Although I do feel the same I think given the world we are in today, I wouldn't necessarily bet big on its failure. That would probably make too much sense.

I think it's either an embarrassingly stupid business move made by execs who have no idea what they are doing (best case). Or worse it'll be a success and make Facebook an even more dystopian force. The potential for VR/AR to

Not related to the article, but I feel like as active engineers we own it to ourselves to always be preparing for the next play. I recently started doing more interview prep even though I'm not unsatisfied with my position. And I even

At the end of the day it's the human's duty to provide a diagnosis. The lack of a complete product solution sure isn't helping, but even if there's a company that provides that, most people still wouldn't trust that

I have no complaints of keepass on my desktop. I tried using it on mobile but decided it wasn't worth the trouble to get it working as I wanted in terms of syncing and autofill. Instead I just use a select few logged in apps that I eit

I think in articles like this there are verifiable claims about facts, and reasonable speculations that have mostly been circling for a while now. These are of course worth considering. And then there's the completely over the top narr

Grant writing was also one of the aspects that most discouraged me from pursuing an academic career as well. I witnessed first hand the stress it induced in even the most capable professors and the level of result oriented thinking it manda

No need for you to preach to the choir about not trusting the Chinese government. As can be seen in the thread, people would much prefer to trust conspiracy theorists and fringe scientists before they put any trust in the Chinese government

Yeah it really depends on how the numbers match up and how much risks you are willing to take given the degree of confidence in those numbers. By current accounts the vaccines will still work against this variant. So the last thing you want

Been using it for more than two years at work via remote desktop but I'd still choose xmonad if I were to run one locally on a bigger display. Xmonad is really powerful in allowing you to reposition and resize multiple windows while i3

Facebook can absolutely operate in each country following their laws. They just have to change their own company structure and data policies. For example, they may need to physically separate EU data from US data completely and have separat

Despite the myriad of caveats I still like these attempts to rein in big tech, probably against my own interest as well. Well, let's see how it pans out.

There seems to be a lot of employee surveillance technologies that are being developed and pushed by Microsoft. I recall them advertising what they have in mind for AI in the whole Office ecosystem and they were both depressing to think abo

In principle it sounds convincing but in practice we are currently giving up our data for free so it reminds me a bit of the free software argument. Sure I agree but isn't something better than nothing? We are not giving up rights to m

One other factor to consider is that this is an mRNA vaccine, which is of a newer generation of technology in vaccine production. From what I've read it is the first large scale adoption of mRNA vaccines so the really long term risks a

I dunno, reading the article I get some mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it doesn't seem that bad that regulators can rein in even the biggest players and at least judging from the description the move may not be that bad for c

His point is less about what customers want but more about the value of the data being collected. By providing a payment service you are harvesting a large amount of data "for free" that can be directly turned into money.

I do have a few thoughts on this issue but chief among them is: does this really matter when the election is around the corner and so much instability is in plain sight? I'm not sure I care about a specific policy change driven by thi

Some very valid points. As a PhD student I had similar considerations and on top of that my biggest reason was that I did not want to go into a painful postdoc career only to start on the arduous path of obtaining tenure. That said, despit

I think that's the best thing to do for the general public. Most social media already obey GDPR for European users (I suspect TikTok included), so having this law in the US will benefit every user everywhere by forcing companies to tre
