A new survey suggests that some US companies implemented
return-to-office (RTO) policies
💥in the hopes of getting workers to quit. 💥
And despite the belief that such policies could boost productivity compared to letting employees work from home,
the survey from HR software provider BambooHR points to remote and in-office employees spending an equal amount of time working.
BambooHR surveyed 1,504 full-time US employees, including 504 human resources (HR) workers …

Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says
1,504 workers, including 504 HR managers questioned.

EnQuery: Ensemble Policies for Diverse Query-Generation in Preference Alignment of Robot Navigation
To align mobile robot navigation policies with user preferences through reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), reliable and behavior-diverse user queries are required. However, deterministic policies fail to generate a variety of navigation trajectory suggestions for a given navigation task. In this paper, we introduce EnQuery, a query generation approach using an ensemble of policies that achieve behavioral diversity through a regularization term. For a given navigation task, EnQue…

Pulse propagation in the quiescent environment during direct numerical simulation of Rayleigh-Taylor instability: Solution by Bromwich contour integral method
In: {\it "Three-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) of Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) trigerred by acoustic excitation -- Sengupta et al. {\bf 34},054108 (2022)"} the receptivity of RTI to pressure pulses have been established. It has also been shown that at the onset of RTI these pulses are one-dimensional and the dissipation of the pressure pulses are governed by a dissipative wave equation. The propagation of these infrasonic to ultrasonic pressure pulses have been studied theor…

Billionaire 63-year-old cryptobro Chris Larsen has a good publicist. He's slick.
It's extremely not normal for billionaires to make large donations to police and fund surveillance cameras all over SF. But he distracts you from that by pretending to shy away from supposedly more extreme right-wing policies like three strikes. (Which Walmart, Home Depot and Target are literally putting back on the ballot this year.)
A fake-moderate act the reporter, Megan Cassidy, totally e…
