I can see at least a couple of unpleasant interactions: On one end of things, people who want help but then get harsh/unhelpful replies like that. On the other end of the scale, if you have the capability to help, but are faced with people who are too lazy to even listen to your answers. -- It's an asymmetry with some poor incentives.

I think it'd be ideal if everyone who answered questions was polite, respectful and helpful all the time. I think it'd be nice if people who asked questions also did so in a polite, respectful and helpful way.

Somewhat exasperating the asker's position is that.. often if they're conscientious enough to do the legwork in order to ask a good question, they're more likely to find the answer.

Whereas someone who is entitled and doesn't know enough about the domain is more likely to be asking bad questions.
It's a preoccupation because EA is mostly a rationalist thing, and Elizier Yudlowsky has had tremendous influence on that movement by being involved with Less Wrong. His views on AI have kind of become a mainstream position among them.

80k hours is more a cultural snapshot of the rationalist movement than anything.
Think about it this way.
They know something that you don't and you're in a position asking them for help. Engaging them as a partner in your solution creates buy in from them. And really they are actually a partner in your solution now.
Their extra information, thoughts and ideas, may all be useless but letting them say that is the cost of not having to RTFM for yourself.
No. Absolutely not. Politics often impinges on human rights, yes. But human rights are not a subset of politics, and absolutely should not be couched in political terms. Issues that are rightly called political are those over which reasonable people may disagree. This highlights that "politics" doesn't only apply to trivialities --myriad real political issues come to mind. My point here is that to argue that this particular issue is political would be beyond the pale, as support of the alleged actions is not a humanly just or reasonable position: one could certainly make it into a political issue, if one were heartless enough, but such evil isn't worth discussion. This is not a political issue. Deciding that it is one would be despicable.

We are, but the blame has to be shared, too. In many cases the algorithm is being reinforced by your and everyone's actions. It may not even necessarily be specifically trying to prioritize polarizing content: that just might be the content you engage with the most, and the algorithm blindly follows your whims and preference.

I've used YouTube for many hours per day for several years. I've almost never seen a single thing appear on my home page that was polarizing or even clickbaity. The very rare times I do (always after I watch something that's kind of adjacent), I just click "Not interested" and I never see it or anything like it again. It's done a pretty good job of predicting what I would and wouldn't be interested in.

Same with Twitter. I just unfollow anyone I find tweeting polarizing or charged things. My Twitter feed looks pretty close to the HN front page.

Many people crave these things, whether they want to or even realize it. I think it's going to be this way for a very long time.

> Are you really trying to claim Amazon is financed by tax payer money in the USA? Can you provide examples of this investment?

Santa Fe is quite prickly about maintaining the integrity of its aesthetic vision of itself. It also doesn’t suffer outsized egos gladly, and hasn’t for over 100 years now. Something oddly wonderful evolved out of only allowing 200 acceptable shades of brown and, in honor of the “mud hut nuts”, Santa Fe means to keep it wonderful.

“Crushing”...no, thankfully this happens in Santa Fe all the time.

Wondering why this hit HN. How are the high-rise housing development plans coming along in San Francisco? Any plans to tear down City Lights and put in a Starbucks?
WebRTC includes things like NAT traversal, peer-to-peer.

IMO, don't forget to look at things like TokBox (Vonage), Twilio, and Agora. If you're just trying to get an MVP/POX, it's a lot easier to start with someone's API, then dig deeper into the details when you're ready.

WebRTC has some difficult-to-debug corner cases that these and APIs already handle for you. (Today I had to convince the boss to try one of the APIs for an MVP because I hit a bug where Chrome and Edge just stopped listening to the microphone. Thanks to these samples, I learned it wasn't our code.)
> Many companies now invent their own proficiency exams. We do.

Companies are not doing it to artificially restrict supply. They have no incentive to raise the cost of labour.

(On the other hand, the process could be captured by incumbent employees who do have that incentive).
Any videos of it running?
I agree with this.

From a cashflow perspective a lot of "remote first" companies just use cost of living adjustments because, well, it's cheaper and employees are happy to oblige. This the dirty little secret.

Here's the reality - the profitability of a tech company is directly related to the amount of total cost of running the business (duh) and human resources is typically one of the largest (usually at least 40% of the overall revenue on avg in my experience). If the same engineer is working remotely from NY versus Kansas City, their output doesn't change as a result of where they live, so profitability only changes if the company renegotiates their package (their revenue contribution stays constant, so only cost changes the profitability measure).

The only reason the salary is higher in NYC to begin with is that the increase in demand for living in places like NYC is much higher than KC, which is directly correlated (on average) to the quality of talent.

The assumption that top talent is coming from top tier cities has been challenged for the last decade and is only accelerating because of COVID.

My prediction is that there is going to be a convergence of salary values that are location agnostic. The only thing stopping this convergence is information asymmetry (e.g. companies know remote employees are happy to oblige to lower salaries because they lack negotiating acumen/power). This will change.

Even if you have an ETL pipeline to an OLAP database/data warehouse/etc, if your core database design is hostile to the analytics/etc then it's going to be a pain no matter how carefully they use it.

> it's really important to have a single owner for that database, or you'll never be able to evolve the schema...

IMO, the "owning" application/developers reserve the right to evolve the schema-and if that temporarily breaks ETL, then so be it, but the underlying schema itself shouldn't be hostile to analytics/etc.

> But why would any of those many strangers love specifically you? One possible reason is that people reciprocate love. So your best strategy is to become a loving person yourself. And then, one of the people you meet, will return your feelings.

Genuinely curious about your thoughts, and not trolling, but this prompted some interesting questions in my head and I was curious what you think.
The point about Jupiter and Saturn is specifically addressed in the press conference. The processes that produce phosphine on gas giants rely on a very high partial pressure of hydrogen, whereas Venus has a critical shortage of hydrogen.
Amazon is estimated to be representing close to 50% of HyperScaler Market. And the Market segment itself is also roughly 50% of the DC Market.

While Intel dont disclose their CPU segment of their DC, you can bet it is the vast majority. Which gives you a rough idea of the scale of Amazon spending, i.e around 20% of Intel DC revenue.

And once you see those numbers, even if it is off by 30% or even double counted. Developing cost of CPU, especially when it is more of "working" together with ARM on developing Graviton 2 ( which it in itself extremely similar to ARM's reference design ) doesn't seems to be expensive or out of question.
Being ad-driven is a red herring. Trolls were known to exist on totally non-commercial mailing lists.

If your company has your address in the wrong state (and withholds there) you can still correct it when you file your taxes for a full refund in the state you didn't actually reside. Though you'd maybe be penalized in the proper state for underwithholding unless you manually paid quarterly estimates in that state as well.
I've always wondered whether the orientation of the memory chips in your computer made a difference for cosmic ray errors. That is to say, if their face is to the sky vs. their edge, will it affect the error rate?
CA is a first-world country (comparable), whose politics and governance are closer to a third-world populist state (India comes to mind). Insane giveaways and voter-mandated initiatives that take budgetary decisions out of elected representatives' hands (this one is both too much democracy and too little democracy at the same time!)

As far as taxing people effectively is concerned, I do not think there are simple answers to be found. As you yourself know, it's possible to clean dirty money simply by setting up complicated ownership structures in jurisdictions such as Jersey. But that only works for the substantially rich. The large majority of high-earners who are very successful professionals at or near the top of their fields end up shouldering a lot of the burden as far as income taxes are concerned. These people can not afford the advice needed to shelter their assets, so they end up getting caught in every revenue raising scheme.

High sales taxes are a terrible idea. CA taxes sales heavily (no VAT, but very high relative to other states), but it ends up being heavily anti-poor, because most poor are the working poor, and they must spend the majority of their incomes on essentials such as food, shelter and transportation. The sky-high gas taxes and surcharges also affect the poor the most in a similar fashion. If the goal of the taxation system is to be progressive, then sales taxes are the direct opposite of that. As are payroll taxes, for the most part.

Not political at all? Do we really think the USA is running something close to a Experimental Concentration Camp? Exactly what are they experimenting on, what don't we know about hysterectomies?

Or do we think the USA is making women infertile as a form of population control? Seriously?

I suspect it follows your politics which is why it's "not political". We aren't conflating anything.

It's an important story nonetheless.

I agree that the statistics would be more useful if everyone who intended to commit a violent criminal act would first become a formal member of a group whose ideology they share. That would help to avoid miscounting False Flag attacks, and relying on individual anecdotes to decide which side is the worst.
They have a perpetual license. What value is it for them to buy ARM?
I often wonder what if we decide to build a completely new, well thought out computing system (including network) that is totally separate from any legacy system and 100% backwards incompatible. Not any bit less, 100% backwards incompatible and everything would be fresh. There would be no jpeg support (it would have its own image format), it would not have standard TCP/IP stack - a new protocol and network infrastructure, new display format, new IO ports, etc.

Why am I imagining this? I feel like computing systems as they've evolved, they've built stuff on layers upon layers and just like biological evolution, it is impossible (difficult) to undo because the marginal cost is too high to unwind and break backwards compatibility. We get stuck in local maxima at each layer and the critical energy required to escape out of it would be too large.

I am not saying backwards compatibility is bad, far from that, I am saying that if we force ourselves to cut the cord and completely build computing systems from scratch - I feel like we would have a hindsight to design it better, faster, and cheaper.
> talk about designers

You took those three words out of context and avoided the larger point. You said in your last comment that this was about software development and it's not. It's about product design. This has nothing to do with the construction of software and everything to do with the designing of products that happen to be made with software. This isn't a semantic point. The whole point of what you are trying to say is that people who design software products— regardless of what you call them— think negatively of users and that makes products worse. All I did was ask for proof— repeatedly— and all you did was avoid the question.

> I attempt nothing of the sort.

Like I said, "maybe it's just me."

> There's enough argument in the overall comment thread with some people saying "oh, when people say that, it isn't literal" and people responding "well, actually, I've encountered sometimes when it is". I think that proves that is does happen, and not just to me.

This was a relatively minor point in a whole list of assertions that you made that you didn't back up.

I'm done. You're clearly on the defensive and not particularly interested in feedback or pushback of any sort. You're just taking individual bits of things that I said out of context and not even addressing the larger point that I've repeatedly tried to make. Have a nice day.
I somewhat disagree. For a lot of work you want workers to be in, or near the time zone of the majority of the workers. 10+ hours offset means no real-time communication and email chains take days instead of minutes.

It's a good thing that in this natural experiment nothing else that might effect productivity changed between February and March except switching to work from home, right?

Since factors that might effect anxiety, physical and psychological health, priorities, demands on time and attention, and external factors effecting success stayed largely the same, but for switching from working in an office to working from home, so we know it was "the WFH lifestyle" (lifestyle?!?) that caused a 'hit' to 'overall productivity', so we can be confident that instructing employees to return to the office regardless of safety will restore this stolen productivity.

(not)
The problem I see with your argument is that it ignores their superior mobile ARM SoC. If they are going to unify on an architecture, it would certainly be easier to migrate Mac to ARM than iOS to x86.
There isn't an objective measure available what an employee is worth to a company, especially at the hiring stage, especially in startups. If engineer lvl4 with the criteria you're hiring, is paid x in y market at z stage of the company then you pretty pay bit more or less depending how good you think they are compared to the average.

Basically companies base their compensation bands on the 50-90th percentile what the market is. People are also anchored their previous compensation, it's hard to get people to accept drastically lower compensation even if you think they are overpaid in their current job.

So it all comes down to finding a compensation that both parties are willing to engage in at (the market). The market is still not fully liquid, uniform or not all talent is the same so the pay differs in different markets.

You could obviously game this too by saying to pay what people are they are "worth" but you just happen value SF experience more than other experience, essentially.
I agree that the internet flattens distance. Thank you for paying employees like it's 2020, not 2000.

One thing it does not flatten is time zone. When two team members have 11 hours difference, their ability to collaborate is very limited. It's reasonable to discount the pay of employees who are too far in time. Alternatively, avoid hiring people outside of +/- 4 hours from the mean (unless they are the best in the world in something).
This is a good insight.

But what you're pointing out is not just a 'UK thing' - it's a 'rest of the world thing'.

The US just has an incredible number of people, it seems, who like working. I think it's a combination of love of the craft, egoism/wanting to make a name (never enough, will 'strike it truly rich soon!'), an ingrained habit of work, a commitment to the cause (innovation as a vocation), low cost of living (dollars go far in the US, this might be an inequality problem, you can buy a huge home on the coast), critical masses (the US has large enough centres of excellence, there's a fraternity to it all, and variety), further career stages (semi-retire as investor - there's a lot to invest it), possibility for global impact (American innovations can go far and wide), and sometimes a sense of frugality - think Warren Buffet. Think of how many Bugattis there would be in the Valley, but you just don't see them in lieu of Teslas or Priuses back in the day. Different culture.

The UK probably does have far more intergenerational transfer than most places though.
I've got IPv6 from my ISP - I gave my pi a static v6 IP, set up cloudflare and told it that v6 IP, and cloudflare handles making it available to the v4 internet. Has worked pretty well so far, just for tinkering stuff, nothing 'production'.
I think it is possible to build a better system from scratch, and there are likely space aliens that have such better systems.

But ultimately a computing system should do what its users want, and the market has favored backwards-compatibility for a long time. If anything, it's a little alarming how old software and hardware can quickly become useless or obsolete. For example, any web browser that doesn't support any encryption better than, say, SSLv3, is cut off from a significant fraction of the Internet.
I'm in a similar situation and I found corporate housing to be a good option, they typically are fully furnished and have good wifi and other amenities necessary for remote work. A lot of them are very flexible these days given the lack of corporate travel.
The users are already fragmented and / or using multiple social networking platforms / apps.

Maybe you only need to have some tiny fraction on board to make it worth the effort?
