Any relationship could be coercive. But just because it's possible for a relationship to be coercive doesn't mean that it is going to be.

I don't see what's wrong with a supervisor dating a suboridinate if both parties are consenting and the supervisor is not abusing their power. This taboo has never made much sense to me.

The supervisor can already be abusive towards their subordinates. You don't need to introduce a relationship to introduce the possibility for abuse. Why does a relationship automatically become wrong when these balanced power dynamics are already in place?

>Does that say anything interesting about humans?

No.
One problem with ai (or general ai) is ai lives in a box, it experiences what we tell it to experience, unlike a child who learns organically with what it's exposed to randomly while trying to survive and thrive.

Perhaps the answer is to figure out all the things that make people tick via deep learning and other techniques, build one huge open api/db for vision/audio/movement in 3d planes/ethics/morality/understanding/discernment/language and then a more general ai could simply send out calls to api's of data already trained on specific foundations and create a 'whole' brain from multiple 'sub' brains (pre-learned open knowledge).

Unless we literally learn to clone the human brain technologically, in it's entirety.

I think another issue is not all working in AI are neuroscientists, and it may take understanding every mapped out facet of the human brain to come close to re-creating that in humans, it all can't be deep learning unfortunately, because that's not how we learn and we're the best guess solution to 'intelligence' as the only intelligent race (we know of) in the universe.

> I don't think it has to be unethical, just against your principles.

... I mean, that's just a matter of locality of ethics. IMO going against your own principles is unethical from your own perspective.
From what I have understood of this topic:

If the relationship continues, the power could be used to favour the subordinate over other subordinates (give them good reviews, etc).

If the relationship ends poorly, the power could be used to spite the subordinate over other subordinates (give them poor reviews, etc).
I think it's also why there's real value in investing time to explain the rules and why they're important

and understanding that even over just 2 layers of bureaucracy its really easy to lose an understanding of the why behind a process

---------

Part of that is that its quicker to just rely on the institutional power

"I'm your boss, do it this way because I tell you to"

"My boss told me it needs to be this way, and I'm your boss, and the bs flows downstream, so do it this way"

uses fewer institutional resources, but that comes at the cost of no one actually knowing why things are being done the way they're being done,

and no one understands the costs of deviance from the processes being implimented

------

and in lots of instances, the benefits to deviance tend to be higher than 'we get to take off a little faster'

lots of times what we measure people on tends to be in conflict with the processes we want people to follow, so we even incentivize people inventing little shortcuts around the processes we want people to follow

They don't have to be objective to be useful though.

The flat earthers don't fall off the planet just because they think the world is flat and believing it flat still allow them to find the way from village A to B if close enough.

It's just not a good enough model to build ex. a GPS satellites.

So I agree that we will, of course, assume a lot of things are "objective" even though they aren't from a philosophical point of view and that's all good. Philosophically though you can't really get around the postmodern philosophy if you want to discuss reality to it's full extent we can.

I agree totally that a "non-pure" deep learning approach is going to be necessary in pushing the field forward. World shattering results from new deep architectures like AlexNet are becoming more and more rare and improvements are becoming incremental. Language models, for example, showed some impressive results in recent years, but we're still a long long way from generating realistic and useful text. I'm not sure if throwing more data at larger architectures will get us there. Maybe, maybe not.

The work by Tenenbaum at MIT is a particularly interesting mix of psychology, computational statistics, and neuroscience. It really challenges the commonly repeated notion that neural networks are completely unrelated to actual brains.

It is perfectly ok for C implementations to make C programming as "hazardous" as they want to. It's up to you whether you want to use them.

Frankly, I don't understand the UB hate at all. There is a rapidly growing space of programming languages specifically designed to give you safety guarantees and well defined behavior. If that's what you want, by all means use them. There are still those of us out there for whom even `-fwrapv` represents an unacceptable loss in performance for certain programs. There is an important and valuable niche for a language that enables compilers to optimize code without regard for saving programmers from mistakes in their code, and that's always going to be the case. Most people probably shouldn't be using it very much, but that's an entirely different issue from trying to "fix" what's not broken in C.

I can echo his experience reporting browser bugs and provide my own reviews:

Firefox - By far the best. Quick response, usually from engineers. If it's important the fix will be quick.

Edge - No reply for months / years. When I've gotten replies back it's been to ask me to try with the current version. When I do and the bug still exists it goes back at the bottom of the queue it seems.

Chrome - Somewhat of a mixed bag. Some times responses are quick, some times they are from engineers. But most often I get replies that convey the person I'm speaking too is a very green QA type. I've gotten replies that the test case I provided them doesn't reproduce the bug, because they had attempted loading it with the file:// protocol (of course hardly anything works with the file protocol). I'm not sure, do they expect me to include a web server for them?

Safari - Only tried a couple of times, never gotten a whisper back.

I would rate my experiences as:

Firefox - A+

Chrome - C

Edge - D

Safari - F
It’s not as great as it sounds. You write enough system software in functional languages and you realize you just traded one set of headaches for a different but equally infuriating set, and that most headaches are sociological aspects of teams writing code, not just isolated gifted engineers separately writing perfectly idiomatic functional programming designs.

Jane Street also has one of the absolute worst reputations for brutal hazing-style trivia interviews. Round after round with no official timeline given. Nonsense word problems that have no bearing to “how someone thinks.” I think it’s short-sighted when people don’t stop to ask, if a company believes it is entitled to treat candidates that way when evaluating them, what else might it mean about internal culture?

While I think Jane Street is probably an above average employer, I also think people get carried away glorifying them. It’s great pay and benefits, occasionally interesting problems, and all the same headaches as working anywhere else.

He claims his field is "business". Just "business". Going to go to the office and do a business.

That right there should be a red flag of what you're dealing with.
a) these are marginal optimizations, at best. b) because it violates C practice. My parsing library is written to distrust inputs so as to protect against buffer exploits. Your compiler "optimizes" away my security check because some buggy code dereferences a null pointer - which actually works in this implementation. Great. Now you have "optimized" to create a security hole in the program by removing a single instruction that is actually free in many pipelined architectures. Wonderful. Thanks so much.
Well, going by formal language theory, FOL is equivalent to a universal Turing machine, which is probably also the full expressive power of human language. Therefore, everything that can be said in human language should in principle be possible to say in FOL. I don't think this is controversial.

Notice again that I don't think this is feasible in practice. At least not with hand-crafted FOL expressions and certainly not with existing technology.

I'm not sure what "non-leaky abstraction" means. Would formal language theory fit the bill?

Ok, so what actual science is this based on? Why should I give out personal stuff like "What are you avoiding right now" if it doesn't have an effect on the outcome when completing this form (because you're probably trying to figure out what people procrastinate most often...)?

Anyways, not sure about this type of application. In general one should avoid medical apps or forms put together by a start up. It typically doesn't involve any science or actual medical advice, and with things that can also be caused by some serious medical issue (procrastination can be caused by depression) I don't really think this is the right way to go.

Depends where you are in the market and what other tools you’re using. I’ve seen it set up many ways; from just recording macros in SeleniumUI, hand-parameterizing them and running them on SauceLabs to being part of a full enterprise integration suite like Pegasystems.

I would say UIPath has a pretty good product at the low-mid range though. The high end tools require serious enterprise architecture capabilities like business process management already be in place. UIPath is pretty good if you just want to set up a simple API gateway, parameterize some flows and pass data back and forth.

This space is only now heating up, but IMO a dumb technology like RPA can be more transformative to the industry than we think simply because it’s not technologically elegant. It does solve a real business problem (need to keep deep technical knowledge in many many areas on staff) with a very general-purpose setup.
Fair enough, thanks. I'll try it out just to see what it's like.

I recently upgraded to a 1060 6GB card (at inflated prices, because it didn’t look like there’d ever be a break in the storm). I got to thinking, I doubt I’ll ever feel much need to upgrade the screen I game on from 1080p to 4k, mostly because I sit across the room and my eyes naturally antialias things at distance...

Given that combination of factors, I have to wonder what it’ll take to make me want to upgrade from my modest 1060. I can’t imagine what sort of incremental improvement video hacks will make this card too slow at 1080p.

I have to wonder if 4k gaming and VR are the stopgaps that’ll keep some demand for improved gaming performance until some paradigm shift happens, such as the mainstreaming of realtime raytracing. It’s crazy to think that since my first Voodoo video card until now, it’s just been a steady evolution and layering of graphical hacks. We’ve known since before then that eventually raytracing would be an optimal case. I wonder how far away from a total revamping of 3D graphics we are... two generations of GPUs? Three?

It's permission overload if you go the other way.

If you are the type of person who is comfortable going in an independent direction in a group effort, you need to be able to assess the skills of those around you objectively, and you need to be able to ask good 'meet in the middle' questions when your objectivity needs re-evaluation.

A team member may do what is best for one instance you observe versus the thousands of other times you ignore them following instructions in spite of the fact that they may potentially have valuable information that could be very useful for the team as a whole.

>It is still possible to go for it. But you need to be accountable for the consequences.

We all do. Whether it's forgiveness or permission it's still the same problem when you work on a team.

> I will flag anyone that decides to "ask for forgiveness instead of permission" and notify their manager.

I don't know your dynamic and I'm not pretending to. But it's pretty easy for me to say "aren't you doing exactly the same thing you are calling out?" except from a managerial perspective, instead of whatever you consider 'ground zero' to be for business decisions.

> I have seen this abused.

I'm sure you have, and I'm not doubting that either, and no, that's not sarcasm. I'm sure your experience is relevant, but it's important to weight your entire set of a priori information / observations / inferences and assumptions with a 'maybe that's all wrong?' perspective too, at least in my opinion.

> And quite often that person feels vindicated when her solution works.

Try to exist in a world where you force yourself to assume everyone is just smarter than you, because you just assume they all have more information and greater awareness in their heads than you do. People wind up judging themselves more carefully, and people wind up taking note of their errors more carefully, without it having to be explicitly pointed out to their detriment and embarrassment (IMO)

Vindicated might be just another word for "thank god I finally did something unique and correct"
Most of the replies to this post seem to misunderstand this saying. An otherwise ethical person might initially refuse to do a thing, but give in when the reward gets large enough. The saying basically claims that every person has a price point at which they throw their principles out the window for money. That's the sort of story I was expecting when I clicked this post.
I want to credit this to Steven Pinker but I'm not certain... He had a great metaphor for this phenomenon of people perceiving human linguistic capabilities in animals: imagine if some elephant scientists were looking at various species' noses, they'd be saying, "look at how they can wiggle their nose! That's just astounding! And this one can balance a ball on his nose! It's uncanny how elephant he is!"

The point being that our ability for language is biologically a very unique facility, even if it can sometimes sound like more ordinary non-linguistic communication. And it's not uncommon in nature for a species to have a very highly evolved capability, at the same time, it takes evolution to make that happen. No amount of stretching, for instance, is going to give you a giraffe's neck.

I'd like to see someone selling a fully electric car that isn't highly automated.

I don't want cruise control, lane following, stability control, automatic braking, automatic collision avoidance, anti-lock brakes, etc.

I just want a brake pedal connected directly to the brakes, and a throttle pedal connected directly to an ESC, and a motor connected directly to the wheels.

I don't want a computer controlling everything from behind the scenes, and I certainly don't want it "cloud-connected" or otherwise reporting to the mothership.

Is that too much to ask? It should be much cheaper and easier to make than other electric cars, but nobody is doing it.
