The link you're citing is citing median wages. Productivity is measured in terms of mean output. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Mean wages have closely tracked productivity metrics. Median wages have fallen relative to mean wages. That strongly implies that the issue isn't decoupling between wages and productivity, but faster growth in the output of high-skilled workers relative to low-skilled workers.

This is confirmed by the empirical research[1], which shows that 61% of the divergence between median wages and productivity has come from income inequality between workers. Only 25% has come from rising corporate profits.

I find that the way a test is written substantially affects people’s willingness to delete them, so while there is some truth to what you say, it’s not the entire picture.

Near as I can guess, it’s related to the anchoring. I’m replacing a few tests with a new set of tests. How complicated should they be? The old test was simple, I should replace it with a simple test. I need six of them, six simple tests ain’t so bad. Nearly took me longer to think about it than to do it.

If I write three line tests, the test quality tends to erode slowly. If I left sketchy tests, they turn to garbage disturbingly fast.
Yeah basically. Causing so much damage in the world.
That's a theory without data to back it up. Especially in technology, where big innovation usually comes from small to medium sized companies. What smaller companies cannot do is coerce the market to extract profits at the level done by Google and their pears. That's why we need anti-trust legislation.
Isn't it pretty clear that energy efficiency usually does not lead to lower energy use? Couldn't see any mentions of rebound effects on the website.

Anyone who has a good explaination for how tokens work compared to cryptocurrencies?

Lastly I think it feels pretty scetchy to name the token after Woz to give it credibility. However he does seem involved judging by the clip on their website.
He's very likely talking about older generation devices, but I'm not sure.
Cadillac is a sub brand of GM, and most of these dealers probably did small volume on Cadillacs while their bread and butter was GM.

For instance I consulted a group of Ford dealerships, only one of which had a Lincoln franchise. To keep the Lincoln brand they needed to do stuff like have a separate branded entrance and minumum floorspace for the Lincoln side of things, etc. At some point it’s not worth it if 95% of your revenue comes from selling the mainline brand.

Here's what I do: multiple accounts. Switching accounts is easy. One for politics (news, politics, geopolitics, plus other variations), One for finance (options, investing, thetagang, no WSB for those who know), One for Relationships (Relationships, TIFU, AITA) because it is fun, One for bay area (and the only one where I am somewhat willing to disclose my identity), One for health, One for entertainment (all the TV shows that I am watching at the moment), and 2 for my country of origin (one with leftist leans and one with rightist leans since I got banned for somewhat innocuous comments in one of them so I said why not two). I could look up specific subreddits, but I find it easy for one account to focus on a single topic and subscribe to 5-10 related subs on that topic. Based on the need, the feed works perfectly.

You can say it is addiction but I would say it is focused addiction. When I am reading about options trading, I am reading about options, investments, dividends and what not - usually there is a purpose and maybe a perceived benefit, and when I am reading about entertainment, it is to track reviews and user comments - same perceived benefit - I could go to IMDB but it is not the same.
So you’re against any indentation? I don’t think you’ll find many programmers at all who agree with that statement.
Take a look at F#'s type solver code especially wrt to Extension Typing: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/blob/main/src/fsharp/Extens...

You can do similar things with other Ocaml or Lispy Langs, depending on how you want to do it. All you need is a function that returns possibleTypeTransitions for givenType(type, enclosedLexeme, type.validTransitions). A gradually typed lang sitting in top of a prototype-based blob also makes this easy to do (see typescript) in-codo.

The context is helpful; it shows that her claim is even more unjustified.

While it sounds difficult for her, I can't imagine how Google's behavior here amounts to not acknowledging someone's humanity.
Amazing to see you get so many downvotes for this post. The modern conception of "conspiracy theory" really is just nothing more than a cudgel, a rhetorical trick to deflect sensible questions posed of official narratives and procedures by putting them in a bucket with off-the-wall absurdities.
A tied quilt (in some vernaculars a comforter) is vastly less effort.

Lots of cool questions! I'm very excited for code and training data to be made available (and in a perfect world the pre-trained model and hosted prediction as-a-service). Then folks can answer all of these questions themselves, without having to go through DeepMind.
Protection from algorithmic bias? Really?

It's not ideal that algorithmic biases exist - and to the extent that it's feasible unbiased algorithms should be used, and mitigations provided for biases that cannot be avoided completely.

However, it's not always possible - and we probably shouldn't avoid all progress just because it cannot be universally applied.

In image recognition (within the visible spectrum) people of dark complexion will always have an algorithmic bias against them - as will any relatively low contrast picture.

This isn't the result of racial biases in researchers, or the data sets, or the ever oppressive totalitarian system - black people reflect less light so their features are harder to distinguish.

There's simply no possibility for any racially unbiased facial recognition algorithms.

I don't know the solution here, but it should be a considered response and not a knee jerk reaction.
...you get a sticker...

Consider for a moment what privileges would have to attach to this sticker, in order for the billionaires to let this through Congress. Definitely they would still want to have control of dominant cultural narratives, and they'd still want to write all the laws, and those of them who appreciate fabulous personal possessions would still appreciate those. The administration of this sticker would be quite complicated...
Dealerships should remake themselves as premium service centers. Taking a Lexus in for service is a pleasure. You can sit in the business center while chomping on "free" donuts and coffee.
Jeff Dean has(/had) a cult following at Google. Internally, there was even a large collection of Jeff Dean jokes (like Chuck Norris jokes of yesteryear).

It is sad to see him drop his credibility and become a PR mouthpiece. I know how this happens and I know why. But it is still sad to watch. Like watching you favourite band sell out to a big label.
Since we're commiserating: the vergence of my eyes is failing and I'm not even 40. My actual vision is perfect; better than ever. But apparently my eyes don't converge so well anymore, giving me horrific headaches if I look at any kind of screen for more than a few minutes :( Really sucks. Doc gave me prism lens so I can use a computer again, but they're exhausting to use. Hoping I can find a specialist after the pandemic is over and figure out a better option; really don't want this to get worse.

Kind of sick joke, considering I spent almost a decade of my career doing computational imaging and computer vision work.

It's not just the headline. After stating that most of the dealers who took the buyout only sold a few Cadillacs a month, the article goes on to say that they took the buyout because of skepticism about the prospect electric cars. I don't see how they draw that connection instead of the more obvious conclusion that making a massive investment to support a brand that you don't sell a lot of is not financially feasible.
That's especially a shame, because log2 of a floating point value is particularly easy to calculate, and most math libraries will internally calculate logs of other based (like ln) by finding the equivalent log2 first and then converting it.

And if you want just the floor of the base-2 log, you almost don't even need to calculate it at all; it's right there in the exponent bits.
Like all social media / user generated platforms, paid promotion is constantly being passed as legitimate content in some shape or form - but there's not really any reason to believe that reddit capitalizes on that themselves.

To look at how reddit is monetizing their platform, it seems straight forward to look at their advertiser page, and see how they try to pitch their ad platform. Paid promotions - which have become somewhat of a first party feature on Youtube for example -aren't discussed.

I'm very interested in the "shadow" concept, am always curious what people really mean when they mention it.

OP's argument was that capturing value itself is bad. But I suspect you don't check to see if your apple sellers have plenty of other potential buyers before buying apples. If nobody else is buying, then the seller lowers the price until the market clears, and you get a bargain. Lucky you.

Why can't it be both? I once observed an instance very early in my career, while working in an employment litigation office where rules were explicitly created in order to box an individual in such that their actions, while completely legal and moral and in the course of their professional duties could be used as grounds for dismissal "because policy".

A lawsuit emerged. A settlement followed.

Just because "we made rules for this" doesn't mean the scrutiny should suddenly cease.
Visual Studio (not Code) handles it quite nicely. If you hit tab and it replaces it with 4 spaces, then you backspace, it removes the 4 spaces as if they were a tab. So it saves with spaces, but treats them like tabs.

This is where I've become a staunch proponent of type hinting Python code. I've caught more subtle bugs by enabling mypy on new sections of code than by running and debugging in production. Of course, this requires adding type hints everywhere, which can a struggle for older codebases, but MonkeyType is a great way to solve that, along with diligence on adding type hints to all new code you write, giving progressively more benefits as more of the codebase is covered by type annotations.
You seem to have an exceptionally narrow view of research; notably, that you can't start with a thing you want to prove, which is in fact step 2 of the elementary-school scientific method. You disagree with the conclusions, so like Google, you have retroactively declared the research incompetent. You seem to think this is within their rights, but this renders any future research from them irrevocably tainted -- from now on, it's no more than Google PR.
This is precisely why chargebacks exist. Product not as described/Merchant unwilling to right it. You have no power to negotiate with then. Amex/Visa/MC does. Sic em on it.
> Agreed. Really poor conditions,

In the US the Food Megacorps had to weigh to shut down due to COVID related incidents in order to keep their supply chains from falling apart, and make sure meat was present when everyone was panic buying or restructure; in the end they just accepted that local poor and (mainly) immigrant labour deaths are an inherent extranality and an unavoidable part of the total calculus of getting the economics of factory farming to work [0]. Some even created a betting pool on how many would contract COVID in the processing plants, it's really fucking sick but an apt reflection of the Global Food Industry as whole. [1]

Fortunately, CSA memberships and community gardens sold out in record numbers this year, which is the only thing to take solace from and I hope it persists from now on.

I've personally reduced my protein consumption significantly to last year, and really mainly ate eggs and salmon that I had frozen from last years harvest. I ate chicken once or twice every week and usually made soup from kombu/katsubushi when I used up the bones.

While incumbent car manufacturers may or may not envy Tesla's technology, market cap, grassroots enthusiasm, et cetera, they so, so, so very much envy Tesla's ability to dispense with a dealer network.

Auto reporters in the past hammered on GM, for example, for its uninspired "badge engineering" i.e. creating nearly identical cars for Pontiac, Chevy, Buick, and so forth. The reality was that GM didn't want to do it — they say it as a big distraction — but the company had to deal with their dealer networks, which would complain loudly if a variant of the latest hot model for some other emblem weren't available for them.

Reading the article, I'm wondering if GM tried to induce as many dealerships as possible to ask for a buy-out. In the age of company-owned and branded stores — Tesla is like an Apple Store for cars — for every product category except cars, GM may be trying to claw its way to controlling the consumer experience for Cadillac, its marquee brand, from soup to nuts.
I have to assume both sides here are adults that can deal with criticism of their chosen discipline without immediately resigning, or not joining a specific company over it.

Jeff Dean is lying:

> 1/Man there’s so much to pick apart. Let’s start with one thing. I want to ask if Jeff Dean has looked at the publication approval policy that he keeps on mentioning in his email. Like, for example, a simple look at the website? Let’s read.

> 2/First off “Start the PubApprove process at least 1 week in advance of any deadline”. Okay, not sure where the 2 weeks in Jeff’s email came from.

> 3/ But ALSO “The perfect policy” “There is no such thing as the perfect policy. Fortunately Googlers like to do the right thing. Please do that here—read the policy and do what makes sense.”

> 4/ ALSO “Meanwhile, we strive to make the PubApprove process as lightweight as possible: hopefully eliminating the temptation to skip it.” I don’t know man you might have to resign immediately if you just “do what makes sense” so beware.

> 5/ Finally, I wouldn’t want to know what would happen to you if you had “the temptation to skip it” mentioned on the website. Beware researchers

> 6/In spite of this, we gave a heads up BEFORE even writing the paper—on September 18. Saying that we were about to write this paper. So much to say here, so much. But I’ll stop here for now.
Do you want to pay them?
Disagree, empirically. Once you bury the needle, nobody wants to talk about whether the tests are garbage, because doing so means that you have to admit to misrepresenting things to management. So you’re either calling people out or complicit in the lie. People don’t want to look at these actions honestly, so they deflect to protect their egos.

None of these dynamics are an issue when you’re at 80% code coverage. It’s easier to fix how we do things while still slowly raising the stats.

You’re trying to run when you haven’t learned to walk (or with a few teams I’ve seen, crawl).
Before I bought my Volt, I tried finding an ELR. Definitely a finer option, but nearly double the price without rebates. None to be found though.

A weird suggestion, given that the products they choose have better performance and cost than the competitors.

The facts suggest it is Samsung customers (and perhaps a few other brands) who care more about the brand than performance and cost.
I can easily think of companies that built multi-billion dollar products on top of Python codebases. Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, to name just 3.

I can't think the same for Haskell, which in my controversial opinion makes Haskell more of a toy language than Python.

You might think that's exhausting, I certainly do

Why? Is there something about CRT that threatens your means and way of living, or is it forcing a type of introspection about what minorities have and continue to go through in various forms and machinations you'd rather not entertain?
I should have been more precise. The phenomenon the other poster was describing is independent of a particular norm or ideology. Talk of evolving norms misses their point.
Also in the article,

> Most dealers who accepted the buyout ... sell only a handful of Cadillacs a month.
Holy fuck the new reddit is shitty.... If i just want to see the link, I click the link. If i scroll down on a post, i want to read the comments.... plural, as in many... not just one or two, and then a new, unrelated post, and having to click a button to show the rest of the comments... the only "thing" you have (commenting/discussions), you're destroying now.
Not plausible unless you have a very specific userbase, ie Firefox users mostly.
Key phrase ...

> Highlighting risks without pointing out methods for researchers and developers to understand and mitigate those risks misses the mark on helping with these problems

You have to have sympathy for her position but in the end if all you do is offer criticism then it's hard to see you inside Google, let alone as a manager.

Sure. That's why I said it was the same as the mod 9 tricks in base 10.
> a decent type system will decimate the number of unit tests

Sure, but reducing the requirement for unit tests by 10% still requires the vast majority of the tests that would otherwise be required.
This right here. The veiled accusation and attempt to put me on the back foot in a power dynamics debate. That's what I find exhausting.

Anyways I was just explaining to OP that the situation was already about that stuff before any response was considered.
Digg also touched the ranking algorithm and external submission rules at the same time, which ended up prioritising "partner" content over user content. This was much more controversial than the UI aspect of Digg's redesign.
Yeah, they're totally lost and are constantly trying to reinvent the brand. It's hard to see this level of cluelessness and not realize that the brand is likely doomed. For some reason others don't like that interpretation of events.

If I owned a dealership, I'd the take the money and leave. Not because I don't like EVs or whatever. But rather because I know there will be some other, crazy direction change in the future. And everyone of them will be a money losing disaster.
