None of those are wrong but I think they're missing the point slightly. Bill Gates seemed concerned that Java represented either some existential threat to MS or at least something that would heavily dent their bottom line and pierce their dominance of the desktop market. And really it turned out to neither. Java is indeed very popular and undeniably a successful language + ecosystem, but I don't think what it has become was what Gates had feared.

I'd be interested to see if, knowing how it all played out, Bill Gates now believes he was right to be fretting about Java back then. Given the position Microsoft is in today, maintaining its hold on the desktop with Windows and with a strong cloud offering in Azure, I think he'd answer "no, I wasn't".

When I learnt to touch type I switched to Dvorak at the same time. I liked the idea of improved efficiency but whenever I had to use someone else's computer or they needed to use mine it was too much hassle. Once I'd relearned to touch type with Qwerty life was so much easier. Also hjkl with Vim using Dvorak was just too hard to get my brain around

Agreed, I don't think editing text has ever been a bottleneck for developers at any point of time. The vast majority of time is spent on reading, thinking, discussing, explaining, and debugging code. This is also why I rue the time I wasted learning vi.

While that's an appealing idea and much as I like Venkatesh Rao, I think the explanation is simple in a different way.

Making money on investments isn't generally about know something will happen sometime in the future. It's about knowing exactly when that something will start to pay off. And that knowledge is much more wrapped in small details. Amazon spent ten years losing money but had investors who believed it would even eventually make it, which it did. Determining whether Amazon would have been a good investment at the start wasn't about knowing ecommerce would work, it was about noticing things like committed Amazon's investors were, etc, etc.
Just try to use GPT3 as a chatbot. It will blow your mind.

Sure, it thinks it's 2017 and knows nothing about covid and if you ask it to explain math to you it will serve you pure garbage in most educational tone and manner, but it keeps context of the conversation orders of magnitude better than anything else.

It doesn't feel like a bot. More like a dumb and confident human.
The idea that BLM was protesting during the day and then went home, put away their signs, changed clothes and came back out at night to riot and cause these $2B in damages has been debunked.

The protests and riots happened at similar times but they were largely different groups with different agendas. In many cases the looting even happened while peaceful protests were happening elsewhere which diverted police resources.
That was not implied. The issue was bug tolerance being measured by cutomer happiness, which is an ephemeral metric and silly concept in many industries.

I don't think he did. My mother paid child support to my father after the divorce. I think in most instances, it's simply more convenient for the mother to take the children in a divorce, or the kids are too young to choose, so it ends that way by default. There is no rule for it though.

> Anyone who questions or points out that the technology doesn't do what the business people think it does[...]

Uh oh, we've got a downer!

Jokes aside, I'd like to consider an even simpler explanation, namely that "The purpose of a system is what it does"[1]. In this case, it would suggest decision makers are fully aware that they suck. Why would anyone want something that sucks? Because it's discouraging, and customer service today is all about discouragement. Unsubscribing, replacements, returns, special requests are all costs, and that's a fixable problem in the current business doctrine, especially in the faceless megacorp flavor of business. While chat bots (and other dark patterns) are frustrating, it creates a veil of plausible deniability for the business. It's hard to claim that it's deliberately hostile to customers, even though it's the simplest explanation.

And Omicron is an order of magnitude less virulent on hospitalization/deaths per infection basis.

The pandemic is never going to be "over" on a case basis, and the virus is never going away, spread will never be zero, variants will always keep happening for decades.

Omicron is telling you that its going to be time soon to start thinking about this virus more like a normal cold/flu virus based on its impact.
Those aren’t equal. I “haggle” for burgers by choosing the restaurant that will serve me a burger I will be satisfied with for a price I will not be dissatisfied with. For me that’s a local chain that’s fairly consistent and fairly good for more than I will pay at McDonald’s for the same type of dish, but less than half the price of a “better” burger somewhere else. This “haggling” happens before I even enter the store, and influences my choice of stores, but at the end of the day we’re talking about dollars for burgers and fries.

Prospective employer-employee negotiations are an exchange of time into work product in exchange for dollars and benefits measurable in dollars. Time is more valuable than dollars, and I want a good price for it, commiserate with what I think my time is worth, and informed by what I’ve been able to receive in compensation for it in the past because I’m taking a risk by taking the job, including leaving my old job. The employer is also taking a risk, onboarding new employees is costly in both time and money, and they want some idea that you will be worth the money they spent because they expect to make more money than they put into you, so if they can get away with paying you less, of course they will. That’s what makes this a market. I’d rather have a bad lunch I paid too much for and a good employer than a good lunch for a good price and a an employer that doesn’t pay me a compensation I am satisfied with.
Counter point: I've had people who exerted towards me weird behaviors that freaked me out, and instead of escalating that and make it someone else problem, when I took the time to explain them privately, they told me they were autistic and didn't know how to read people and had no idea it was inappropriate, thanked me for giving them the feedback, and then adjusted their behavior!!

OMG imagine that: people adjust to feedback!!

Maybe we should take the time to TALK and try to resolve problems, before pointing fingers or firing them?

Most people are good and want to be nice. I don't like the "modern" way of calling out people, as it's not a good default heuristic, and not just that: it's ultimately counter-productive, as it hurts people who don't understand what happened, then switch to dangerous ideologies, become more and more polarized and double-down on inappropriate behaviors instead of adapting. And it makes the problem worse, as now they can rationalize their behavior given their new bizarre ideology

dynamic is amazing for the extremely niche use case of interop with dynamic languages. I had a system which executed Python scripts on devices using an orchestrator written in C#. With dynamic and IronPython, I could seamlessly unit test the whole enchilada without writing un-Pythonic Python or ugly C# wrappers.

Thanks! After hours of downvoting, yours is the first response to actually answer my question with a thoughtful, actionable way to address the feedback about Sten in OP's scenario. Given the number of, shall we say, socially awkward people in tech, it's entirely believable that Sten had no idea that silently watching someone work could make them uncomfortable. We've all worked with people who were a little "off" socially but without ill intent. Social/etiquette rules are messy and inconsistent, and they don't come naturally to everyone. I know I'd have a hard time articulating feedback like: This kind of looking is good, this kind is bad. You can make eye contact with people at work, but don't hold it more than N seconds. You can stand near people but no less than N meters, and not directly facing them. You don't often see that level of detail in HR training literature.

Maybe in OP's example there actually was ill intent, and maybe there wasn't. Hard to tell given the text. I think it's a marvelous skill to be able to delicately address someone else's "creepy behavior" when you aren't sure of the intent behind it.

Lazarus Release 2.2.0
This isn't right because you're granted the stock when you start, and can sell when you vest vs with your salary you can only invest it after you receive it. Here's an example. Let's say you get hired today with a package that amounts to $200k salary + $100k/yr RSUs over 4 years at a public company. Let's also say the stock is increasing at a rate of 10%/year.

Year 1: $200k salary + $110K stock = $310k TC

Year 2: $200k salary + $121K stock = $321k TC

Year 3: $200k salary + $133K stock = $333k TC

Year 4: $200k salary + $146K stock = $346k TC

Without any kind of raise or refresher grant you're making 15% more total in year 4 than when you started. When the stock vests, you pay tax as if it were ordinary income, and you can sell immediately for cash.

That example was for a stock growing at 10%. Now consider if that company was Alphabet.

I don't think there is so much of difference between labeling and understanding things. I mean, we humans don't even understand ourselves and yet we tend to use our intelligence as the general measure of intelligence.

But if labeling is enough, what is missing? The current approaches are mostly based on single dimensions, like pure text, images, sound etc. but rarely a combination of them. So when a human, who lives in a world where images, sounds, physical experiences, emotions and abstract information have to be combined meets an AI that lives in a single dimension it is easy to see the blind spots.

So maybe just giving machines access to all the dimensions we humans perceive might help to let them act more like we do.
I'm the kind of person who would be mad at my choices in that case. If I failed to plan for that sort of thing it's on me. "What of someone sends abuse to my text message forwarder?" isn't all that out there of a question.
"chatscript" is a great dialogue engine where language patterns land the state machine into a "topic" which it gracefully backs out of (keeps a topic hierarchy) when it runs out of responses in that topic / branch of conversation.

It also includes the most robust, hand-tuned lemmer and stemmer + disambiguation language parser built on top of WordNet. really good stuff, written in C so its light on memory and responses are instantaneous.

If I'm reading this right, it means Shared Array Buffers can get enabled by sites that are not GitHub Pages, eg, by spinning up one's preferred cloud hosting instance (DO AWS Azure etc).
If yes, then this appears in my mind as not a huge problem.
I have never seen this happen to myself or anyone else. Nor are you required to give them any pay stubs, as they contain your social security number and personal financial information. That's not something you give to a recruiter. Please be very wary of anyone who asks for a pay stub.
Nice initiative. Other than HN, I only use RSS to consume content which I care about (I use theoldreader.com). While I currently don't have the time or technical skills to contribute much, would be happy to support financially if required. I also encourage anyone I know to use Firefox, Duckduckgo and RSS; however, most people (especially the intelligent technical ones) are not willing to change.
> If it's something direct like "return something" then what benefit is there over using the website's interface?

There's no "benefit" exactly, the item gets returned the same way regardless, but it's kind of nice that it's consolidated. The chatbot works as a bit of a "one stop shop" for a lot of administrative stuff like "where's my order" or "return something" or "my order didn't go through", stuff like that.

AFAIK we don't support doing anything through Whatsapp, just our site.
VoIP is entirely based on SIP, everywhere. Those providers just add a proprietary API over it. But if the use case is just sending texts, that one may evade the standard (I don't remember it entirely, and it certainly evolved since last I used it).

But then, if they were only sending texts, migrating wouldn't be expensive.
this is wrong take, once higher paying companies find out they could pay less due to competitors, they will.

also it is possible to advertise higher wage for senior level, but then downlevel employee after interview and offer less and some would still accept that (Google is notorious for doing it)
> No, but most chatbots I've seen are no better than a well-structured FAQ page.

For people who can't be arsed to glance through a FAQ, they're kind of an iterative natural-language query interface.

Nope, everyone (including her) though she'd be dead within a week of her husband passing, but it's been a few years now. Married for like 75 years, since they were really young, but no kids or grandkids or anything. No one had her lasting this long.
Before Gaikai was OnLive[1] which was a full platform with a game store and libraries and the ability to seamlessly and instantly spectate others' games. It worked fairly well if you had a great Internet connection. Of course nowadays Stadia does the same thing at presumably much lower latencies and higher quality.

EDIT: Technically Gaikai was founded a year before OnLive, but at the time OnLive was more accessible as Gaikai remained in a limited release up until Sony bought them to use for Playstation Now

Though compared to the US the UK has much better treatment of "employee" share schemes. The most common Sharesave is effectively a risk free investment at a 20% discount.

I also spend less than 15% of my time drinking coffee.
Having worked on conversational AI (virtual agents/chatbots) for over a half a decade now, I can say that there are large differences in the capabilities of the solutions and the quality of implementations. Some are just bad and unhelpful. Some are very good. I'm personally familiar with several voice deployments doing millions of calls a month. Not only are there obvious cost savings but the calls handled (entirely) by the virtual agents get better average cust sat metrics than human agents on the same set of calls. The first time I saw that I was surprised, but, now it is pretty typical. They absolutely can be helpful even if they are still not near to passing the Turing test.

That is even worse then. No wonder Mozilla is in decline and perhaps that is why several developers were let go two years ago when Google threatened to take away their lunch money. So Mozilla had to quickly relinquish their 'mission statement' and submit to the mercy of Google.

So as long as Google is funding Mozilla, and Firefox, their mission statement is beyond destroyed.

Mission failed successfully.
