I'd argue that companies need to start with the hiring process itself. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20210727-the-rise-of-ne...

Companies are focused on getting the perfect person for the job who can come up to speed and be productive nearly immediately because they put no money or effort into actually developing employees (see: loyalty), Because employers are stuck on the treadmill of needing a person now to fill a need just in time, they are so averse to "false positives", hiring someone who doesn't work out, they have put in a gantlet to try to prevent that.

Also, to your point 4, it's not just that, it's the whole culture of "looking busy" instead of being productive. See for example: https://gameworldobserver.com/2021/08/04/xsolla-fires-150-em...

Yes there are tons of companies working at scale with "cheaper" engineers, in fact the vast majority of companies in my experience are doing this. But the types of companies in these specific markets where salaries are crazy need or think they need the absolute best to compete. They really don't care very much about the cost relative to other types of businesses.

For most of these companies engineering output is their entire product and they are sitting on mountains of money. A few good engineers can make a massive difference to their products and success while a few bad ones can sink the entire business.

FWIW FAANG aren't the only companies paying ridiculous salaries, they are a small subset of the SV / Seattle markets. I work for a company that pays salaries similar to FAANG. We don't interview like they do and if we did we would have a harder time hiring good people.
Because mirrors can’t tell if you have a child sitting by your bumper.

There are several safety justifications for electronics in new cars. ABS, airbags, seatbelt pretensioner, auto-braking, and arguably lane keeping. (Not to mention battery management system, traction control, etc.)

Also, vehicle-state-aware and charging-station-state-aware navigation with auto-routing to Fast Charging is a massively beneficial feature for electric cars. Before I got my used Model S (2013, BTW), I had no idea how important this would be in eliminating range anxiety and enabling road trips.

Is it meaningful work if it can be easily automated by contemporary technology but we choose not to?

And I agree that we do need meaningful work on a human level; it’s why I don’t say “nobody should work”. But meaningful work might only mean two hours a day. If that’s all you want to do, you’re prolly not gonna be able to afford a new iPhone any time soon but you shouldn’t go hungry, homeless or untreated.

As I understood it, the US had laws necessary to administratively enact export restrictions during emergencies.

I suspect the EU didn't have the same leaver it could just magically pull. Some individual countries might, but that's no use when production is distributed across the EU.

Unlike the US the EU doesn't have disasters management agencies, many things are left for individual countries.

Generally, there is no administrative authority in the EU that can really do much -- where as the US president can take a lot of actions. The EU would like have had to draft laws stopping exports, and those could be challenged in courts, etc.

More likely, the EU just didn't have an easy button to push, and nobody has agreed upfront on which cases such button should be used.

I think for a lot of workers being coerced/forced back to the office, there will be a lot of resentment. In my company, only part of the IT staff will be in the office, the majority look to be fully remote. That will breed so much conflict/antagonism/resentment that management seems oblivious to.
I used to think that the K12 math education was really bad, but now I have a different perspective. Many public schools in China and Russia are essentially like magnet schools in the US because students need to compete for entrance. So, those schools can afford more challenging syllabus. In contrast, the US has few such magnet schools, and people of different academic capacity go into the same school. As a result, teachers can't really teach too advanced concepts or assign too hard homework. This may sound far-fetched, but you may be surprised that more than 50% of students may never be able to understand Euclidean geometry, let alone analytical geometry or set theory or probability or proof by induction, and etc. And more than 50% of STEM students in college may not truly understand calculus, let alone analysis. Case in point, roughly 50% of middle school students can't get into high school in China, even though the entrance exams are really not that hard as most of the questions are designed to examine a student's understanding of basic concepts. Therefore, we may look at the quality of the math class in the US and feel miserable, but that's only because the class is tailored to the lower 50%-ile. On the other hand, the clubs and gift programs in public schools are still of high quality -- all the more reason for not canceling such programs in the name of equity.

The worst part of this is that it's entirely possible (see: inevitable), and there's no way for us to hold Apple accountable. Once Apple starts hashing the rest of their userspace, the government will have access to a low-resolution transactive history containing the signature of every file you ever saved, made or shared. The fact that this data even exists is a sign that it will be abused.
I found it very difficult (edit - after being promoted internally). The company I worked for wasn't huge, probably a small team by comparison to many here of ~30 mainly developers, some designers, and a couple of PMs.

As the senior developer I'd designed most of the in-house tooling and trained most of the staff, then laid out team structures and project workflows. Over time our clients became more sophisticated and I found myself drawn more to pre-sales architecture / engineering / estimating, hiring, performance management, etc.

I was given the title of CTO, and more of my time was spent on product strategy, aligning technical strategy with business goals etc. Lots of spreadsheets, lots of modelling and planning. This would have been fine but I never was fully able or allowed to let go of my previous role. I was still the "guy" when it came to build systems, git merge conflicts, server issues, etc, and the company could never justify replacing my old role while I was still on the books.

This was stressful mainly because of context switching and workload. I was happiest when I could focus on one role or the other for extended periods. Having to wear both hats eventually wore me down, as it was hard to constantly keep the big picture in mind while having to focus on minute details like which version of SASS we should be running across our projects, or manning the support helpdesk after hours.

Switching to a new company lets you walk into a new role without the history - you might be less likely to be chased up to provide critical support or jump on the tools while you're trying to wrap your head around a 5-year digital transformation strategy for a federal contract. I switched to freelancing though so I can't speak to making the switch from experience, just what it was like to move up within a company.

Your mileage may vary, and as others commented it comes down to company culture.

I thought OpenAI was originally supposed to be some kind of for-the-good, non-profit institution studying AI and its safe use in particular with an effort to make it more accessible and available to all through more open collaboration. This is cool research, sure; but what happened to making models available for use by others instead of just through some opaque APIs?

Maybe I'm just remembering wrong or conflating OpenAI with some other entity? Or maybe I bought too much of the marketing early on.
I feel that OpenAI Codex could become like Webflow for coding. It might sound ironic, but what tools like Webflow in the world of Web programming is to give the power of creators to build something fast that can long last (without the speciality of a decent web programmer).

If the same thing can happen in the world of programming, I guess evaluations like LeetCode and Whiteboarding can go away and bring in a new of logical thinking evaluation which could ultimately be a more realistic method of some programmer rising above the chain.
> I'm surprised they spend so much (presumably) time and effort on applications, especially 'Web' and 'Terminal'. How many users are actually going to use 'Web' as their browser?

Linux distros used to love to do this (maybe some still do?). They'd put whatever the "native" browser was for a desktop in as the default, and do the same for a bunch of other stuff.

Early Ubuntu's success was partly due to ignoring that crap and just installing whatever the user'd almost certainly actually want. Its defaults were way better—actually somewhat helpful, rather than harmful—as a result. Browser, on Linux in 2006? 95+% chance you want Firefox, so here you go. And so on.
I don't have to rent it out, but it is a second/vacation home for me. It's highly profitable and it stays booked. So yeah, I'd prefer to keep renting it (and earning money on it) - the rules/protections I've put in place are to let me keep doing that. My track record so far has kept me on the good side of both my neighbors and guests.

"polished" is subjective enough that I won't say you're wrong (although I don't agree), but how can you be more stable than i3, in any sense? It doesn't leak memory (https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-mem...), it doesn't crash, it doesn't change (UI/UX is a kind of stable, too), and it can seamlessly restart itself in place without any disruption to the actual user session.
Definitely interested in a writeup!
A warning to devs building on OpenAI APIs:
We spent months developing a chatbot using GPT3 for our game and released a video showcasing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuSQvoroJo&t=264s

Afterwards OpenAI then added GPT3 chatbot guidelines disallowing basically anything like this.
We were in communication with them beforehand, but they decided later that any sort of free form chatbot was dangerous.

What they allow changes on a weekly basis, and is different for each customer. I don't understand how they expect companies to rely on them
It is a crying shame that Linus, or some other benevolent dictator for life like Linus, never emerged to steer the Linux userland.

If there are parallel realities and alternate timelines, then somewhere out there is the one where everyone settled on GNUStep/WindowMaker in the 90s and Linux took over the Desktop by 2005.

It looks like they were able to write themselves a check using or spoofing a legit signature. A traditional bank would put a hold on any amount over a certain threshold to prevent this kind of fraud. I wonder if DeFi has some kind of option for an Oracle to a human verification step over a set amount. An attacker could flood transactions to avoid that limit, but maybe network delay and/or some kind of throttling would buy enough time to ensure some safety.

I’m still bullish on defi but there is a lot of incidents like this that need to happen before these systems become resilient.
PolyNetwork (whatever it is, first time I heard of them) has tokens (its own) and apparently some ETH, and USDC on the Ethereum and BinanceChain. These "assets" are locked with a smart contract (instead of a private key), so anyone figuring out the smart contract can move the money (which they did) and they posted the address to where they moved the money.
Even so, there is a clear benefit to not having to stop at said gas station so often.
I agree it’s great (and mostly used) for integration testing, do significant number of users actually use it for storage?
Legally mandatory. Because too many people (often kids!) have been killed or injured by inattentive drivers who back up without looking behind their cars.
It could be because you noticed only elite foreign students, while US education is accessible to a much wider range of American students.

Yes, and you can easily also save your bookmarks to a new temp folder, and restore your tabs from that if you don't want to expend the energy to sort.

In addition to zooming in to 110%, I also apply this CSS for increasing the line spacing and decreasing the number of words per line:

It improves the readability a lot for me.

Being schooled in post-Soviet 90s/00s...

Overall both class and teachers didn’t like memorizers. On the other hand, it was possible to pass pretty well by memorizing. Sometimes teachers would put in random bits in tests to throw off memorizers. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. All in all, memorizing and actual learning lived side by side.

The main difference from what West looks like, the Soviet-ish system was designed for failure. For me it looks very weird when lots and lots of people get best grades. I was raised that 10 (out of 10) is rare perfection. 9 is great. 7-8 is fine. Even 5-6 is ok if you ain’t interested in a given subject. Not everybody is super smart, not everybody is passing school with perfect grades. And that’s perfectly fine.

Unfortunately a couple decades later our education system is westernized and everybody DESERVES best grades. And the system is bending over.
Backup cameras are a legal mandate. It is honestly irresponsible to drive a car without a wide-angle backup camera. Might as well toss the mirrors out while you're at it.

As I was reading the summary, I was thinking "well, of course -- that makes sense. Any teaching curriculum has got to be like that so what is so special about Russian math curriculum?".

Then I read in other comments about US math curriculum and I was shocked to learn that not only they were NOT doing this, but they didn't have a better alternative. This is mind boggling. It seems almost idiotic.

My schooling was done in India. Our curriculum was quite well planned, but what is laid out here is the methodology of teaching in addition to the curriculum and textbooks. And that depended on teacher to teacher and school to school. But nonetheless, the textbooks were very well written so everyone got exposure to pretty much the same level of teaching styles, more or less.

When I came to US in college, I was surprised to learn that people didn't know basic techniques and tricks for algebraic manipulations. Of course, we were taught the basics and whys behind every trick but emphasis was also given to internalizing these tricks for quick computation by hand. This, in my opinion, is important because these tricks also become your mental models when thinking about math. And quick tricks would lead to quick thinking, roughly speaking.

Apparently not 100% of National Forest is freely usable. I learned this lesson painfully not long ago. I planned my overnight campout "carefully"... but there were still things I didn't know, even after reading everything I could find online. Namely: there are "pay to stay" campgrounds. You are not allowed to camp within the perimeter without a temporary permit. And even if you try to simply drive through, you might find gates closed.

Somewhere, people have collected this wisdom, I'm sure. Any pointers?
Personally I weap for the death of shared libraries. It's great developer convenience to statically bundle everything, and ever so manageable...

But it makes me so sad thinking not just of the storage footprint of dozens of copies of the library floating around (be it v8 for deno, or chrome for electron), but the memory cost too of having that near-to duplicate library loaded multiple times too.

And then there's the maintenance cost to the user, of needing to update each package independently to get updates. With something like the web, I as a user would far prefer having bleeding edge shared libraries/v8's/browsers underfoot, and carry the expectation that each app can load & run atop this most recent version.

The trends have been very much in the other way. One of the main Go champions tout is it's static compilation, I think rust too. What are containers but entire static system images, as opposed to just having some static libraries? Part of me is willing to acknowledge that the larger footprints aren't that impactful, aren't really a problem, but it contravenes the deliberate & elegant simplicity that something like an OS distribution used to represent: I look at Debian as thousands of different pieces, all wonderfully integrated & interlinked, a cohesive system, that one ought to be able to bring additional projects onto to compile & extend. But our appetite for such has waned. The convenience for you & your users of just bundling everything you personally need to ship your stuff is quite high, at least when you're not updating dozens of oversized apps or running janky old versions because of this easy-to-get-started convenience.
This looks really cool!

Good luck!

To expand on your mention of crows.

Not only do crows learn to recognize PEOPLE by their FACES, they teach their offspring to avoid/mistrust those same people. Those offspring teach their offspring.
So the "grandchild" of the original bird learns to avoid a specific person. *(Note the documentary I watched with this revelation didn't follow any further generations. We don't know how many generations are taught this lesson.)

Think about that for a minute. I don't recognize the people that live 2 houses away from me, these birds teach their young that SPECIFIC humans are dangerous.

This isn't the study I watched, but it's close.
