@EraseAllKittens - we've hit a bug where the game is hanging in level 4, but don't get a reply from support - is there a chance to get help? Thanks!

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@sarah_edo @siliconmachine Also, be explicit that you want them to come to you early, and repeat that message very often (best in 1:1 settings). It's very hard to ask somebody higher up for help without knowing them and knowing they appreciate it.

@Der_Gregor Influenza geht um, wir haben sie gerade alle (alle geimpft - vermute die diesjährige Impfung hat ein bisschen daneben gezielt)

@_Amanda_Walker @Tojiro @__apf__ Not during GRAD :P

@IamDanielGrant @seldo @lizthegrey @ArtSmithTweets Unsure how you jump to "sit in an office" as the use case. For me, a realistic VR experience with people in a meeting room would be much nicer than VC. Latency/audio hw probably doesn't allow this, no matter the compute available, but I'm all for somebody trying.

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@seldo @lizthegrey @ArtSmithTweets I don't think the office experience sucks for collaborative work. The trick would be to get remote work benefits and then dial into the office for collaborative work or a coffee break. My hunch is that latency makes this not work, but I also think it's worth a shot.

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@sarah_edo Agreed! Everybody sometimes needs unhealthy rants, and those are not for larger audiences, but for trusted peers who will commiserate and then help find a way forward. Understanding what to put into a backchannel increases org health imo.

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@Grady_Booch A nice first step would be well defined operations.

@lefticus Thousands of remote builders.

@kareem_carr For classification tasks where you select the biggest activation node, ML is approximating your probability density. I always thought using that to learn more about underlying probability functions to real world things would be cool. Probably people are already doing that?

@_Amanda_Walker You've not used hg internally? That was one of the most evil plays - I was content with git until I learned that a better UI was there all along.

@olafurw Meh, it depends on how large the edge cases are.

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@alfiekohn @TitusWinters There are also things that we want as parents that children just really don't want to do. Options: force (bad), negotiating/bribe (better), always giving in (not sustainable for mental health).

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@alfiekohn @TitusWinters Definitely not suggesting to overuse them. Just that completely not using bribes is also taking away a learning experience - that sometimes a push to get out of your comfort zone leads to new exciting experiences. The right balance is key (and hard).

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@Grady_Booch Google's monorepo was never distributed though?

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@alfiekohn We do that very sparingly, but sometimes a bribe to get out of the comfort zone can be magic. All children are different and motivated by different things, of course, so add a grain of salt.

[Manuel Klimek @manuelklimek]

@alfiekohn I mean, sometimes it's also based on evidence: our 4yo daughter was too afraid to put her head under water. She suggested a bribe. We agreed, and once she got started her intrinsic motivation kicked in. Never needed to repeat the bribe again.

Playing 🐒 🏝️ I realize how much like leadership in big tech it is: VPs give you a cryptic quest. You run around talking to people until you find the right talking points; talking to one person gives you new options with another one. Your inventory is full of documents.
