I have seen this sort of sentiment many times, and the narrative here aligns with the main thread. I also know a few in my circle who I respect and think very highly of, but only worked at Amazon for ~1 year, and all of these people have been very quiet about their experience at Amazon. Also, I understand that the leadership principles are taken very seriously. My question: How are the leadership principles used in a way that leads to such a bad experience?
Look more than 10 years into the future.

20 years from how as a renter your ongoing costs will be high.

20 years from now as a home owner with the mortgage lower and inflation on everything higher, your ongoing costs will be low.

Owning a house is an exercise in deferred gratification, similar to owning most businesses.
counting hyperthreading, that's 128 vcpus, yeah?
Its better paid than Amazon Mechanical Turk afaik (not saying it should not be paid better). The tuning is done literally by thousands world wide and since every rating task is done by multiple quality raters (afaik side by side is done by at least 5), it seems to be a cost vs. scale factor.
As far as I know it is, remains, and hasn't changed from being one of the top 5 countries to live on the planet.
That is a misinterpretation of that ruling, which applies to non-union members being forced to pay dues

Union Shops, where by in Non-Right to work States the union negotiates with the Employer (private not public) that all employees of the group will be represented by the employer the employer can still be required to force employees to join the union with in 30 days, normally this is an automatic process for "union shops"

Again this varies by state, and Right to work states can not have such a provision, however Janus decision DID NOT outlaw union shops.

Also none of your comment seems to refute or attempt to explain the differences between UK or other EU unions and US unions, which is the context we are discussion, gotcha technicalities do not go to this over all conversation which is the vast differences between how unions operate in the US vs other nations.
Did anybody else have to double check this wasn't an Onion article? Eve is already a game that is sometimes derided as "flying a spreadsheet".
As a layman with some interest in military history due to decades of playing strategy games:

That sentiment has been popular since the Gulf War, at least. I think the public perception has been shaped by American doctrine. It emphasizes throwing massive amounts of money and technology at the enemy, in order to avoid casualties that could make the war unpopular at home. When the US goes to war, it tends to spend more money than the entire economy of the other side. If the war drags on, that level of spending may continue for years. Almost nobody else can afford that.

Cheap(ish) drones and missiles have worked great for Ukraine in defense. However, Ukrainian forces have not had similar success in offensive operations. Ukraine continues asking for boring old-fashioned tanks and artillery, probably because their generals believe that can help them take back lost territory. They could probably achieve similar results with aircraft and precision munitions, but that would require outspending Russia, which is not happening even with all the military aid from the West.

Tanks are still cost-effective, but they are also vulnerable. You can lower casualties by using less cost-effective weapons systems, but only if you are economically superior to the enemy and willing to spend the money. That option is out of the table if you are in an all-out war against an economic peer or a superior enemy.
Always!

FWIW, the best source of GPT-3 poetry, if you want to see what it can do beyond the cursory discussion in OP, remains my own https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#poetry page. (Pointing out, among other things, that GPT-3 can't rhyme and so Andrew Brown's sample is a bit misleading about capabilities.) I'm surprised it's neither mentioned nor linked, since there is not that much GPT-3 poetry out there...

OP argues that GPT-3's poems 'fall dead' and never become 'a memorable unity'. I will just say that for me, a number of GPT-3's poems like "Uber-Poem" (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#uber-poem) or "The Universe Is A Glitch" (https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3#the-universe-is-a-glitch) struck me as a good deal more lively and memorable than the vast majority of the poems I puzzle through reading the New Yorker or Paris Review.
Touche. It's so silly- in the Marines we would say, "adapt and overcome."

Jarheads are smarter than all of you? Suck it up and get it done.
I've taken the dive very recently as well, not into vim directly, but into a text editor called Helix. It's similar to vim, except the main difference is that you select what you want to modify and then modify it (word-verb I believe it is called in vim parlance). I think this makes more intuitive sense than doing it the other way around.

I have a similar experience to the author. I did the tutor, wrote some notes as a cheat sheet, keep it open somewhere and just use the editor. I began using lots of tools that were keyboard focused and used vim-like keybinds (qutebrowser and other things). I wouldn't say productivity is increased, and I'm not a productivity zealot, but I'd say that once my mind adapts to the new environment, doing things is smooth as butter. The hard part is the fight inside yourself against the idea that you're relearning something you already can do another way that you don't actually need, afterwards you'll ask yourself why you ever did it the old way.
.xyz TLD has been blocked for me seemingly randomly depending on what WiFi hotspot I'm connected to. Not sure why (assuming porn or spammers grabbed em up early), so I can't say it's a bad idea, but might be worth a quick search for similar troubles.
I read this so you don’t need to. 52M is a rounding error… 52B might be significant. But no definition of what consumer debt is, and no ideas of the causes, just a couple of high-level maybes.

This sounds great. Maybe Apple thinks it can find someone else can do the same job in office. Also they can't just make exceptions for "talented" people, I guess.

At a company my wife worked for, the social media department spent half its time fixing store hours, addresses, and map locations in Google Maps and Apple Maps.

I guess it's nice that ordinary people try to do these updates for Big G and Apple. But they're often wrong, or they presume a one-day change is a permanent change, or that it applies to every location on the planet.
No, I don't. I was hoping one of our elder technonauts around the forum may be able to describe how it works to us.

I see my sibling comments think it's overkill. I wonder if there is a dialectic synthesis, or some best of both worlds, between your work and Stripe's implementation?

Basically if your models had the Stripe book models' spines. I see other people saying that's the tricky part though.
Well it clearly isn't permanent for everyone. That's why we are discussing this article.
This is a common vector for cheats, so most developers eschew some sort of P2P lobby system.
Thanks for sharing, this is rather underhanded compared to instead providing a /install.sh endpoint.
So what are you believing if it’s not based on facts?

Also you surely can understand that your work on AS at Apple has no bearing on what Tesla is doing, correct?

Am I missing something here?
Thanks. Just bought all those companies' stocks, except for Spacex.
The company doesn't want to give anyone a raise. They are not happy to give anyone a raise. Companies do not willingly increase their costs, full stop.

You could maybe make an argument that companies may increase wages for high performers for retention reasons, because needing to replace valuable employees is a large, if somewhat intangible cost, but that's pretty iffy. Companies are made up of and managed by humans, who are notoriously short-sighted and willing to discount potential risks when there are financial incentives to do so.

50% of the time Joe Useless makes more than you do already, because they joined later and market rate for the position shifted upward. You'll still need to fight tooth and nail, alone, individually, to reach parity, even if you're a top performer. Your manager isn't usually going to say "hmm, we're paying Joe Useless 1.2X, while we're paying Sally Superlative 1.0X--we really should pay Sally 2.0X! Your manager will be overruled by the CFO if they do suggest this anyway. Large wage increases based on expertise happen because you're able to better sell yourself to _another_ company when changing jobs.

Ultimately, I'd prefer a system where Joe Useless and I fight for equal wage increases collectively, because the balance of power is such that we're more likely to get them than each of us going it alone. Joe Useless is gonna be there anyway unless the company decides they're so useless as to fire them. So long as Joe Useless is there in the same role as I am, I don't care if they get equal pay, especially not if they're helping in the fight for increases in our equal pay.
Hey, recent polls suggest that 60% to 90% of nurses want to quit or plan on quitting their jobs. They don't make as much as programmers and should work in tech as well. Who needs or can afford healthcare in the US anyways?
This actually seems a bit crazy to me. You're one of the most important figures leading the charge on cutting edge technology at _the_ industry leader...and you resign because they ask you to come to the office.
This. In the early days of my SQR rating time, the rating was not sliced into time per rating. And you had to write a short blurb about your reasons, often using the acronyms so it read like "NR, LQ / SPAM". Later you would see the other SQR notes and would wonder if both of you had seen the same page.
No, it's a GFonts bug that they're overly eager to work around a DW bug, even if the system doesn't even have DW installed.
If Schmidhuber had really found everything he says he found, the Singularity would've happened decades ago.
I don't know that I'd go that far. It's something that does need to be accounted for though.

On the other hand, if we ever manage to build an AI that's sophisticated enough to intentionally troll us, well then mission accomplished I guess.

What wage inflation? Be hires are getting pay bumps to be at or above folks with 3-10 years of experience. It was fine at my old retail job, but for nursing it's just yet another detriment to nurse morale.

I am not greedy. Therefore, your statement is, verifiably, false.

And, it, in fact, matters substantially which economic systems we are "under" (note your own choice of phrasing). Said economic system is the water in which we fish swim. We can hardly see it, due to its pervasiveness; and it is constantly reinforced by the very Capitalist Corporate Media whose job it is to keep the brainwashing going.

Unions used to be pervasive in this country. My dad was a member of the USW (United Steelworkers of America) and many unfair and unsafe labor practices were checked due to union solidarity. (I am NOT saying unions are perfect in every detail, only that a properly functioning union is usually the better deal for the common worker.)

What the Deletionists seem to miss is the fact that, since there's not a space problem, then perhaps Wikipedia doesn't have to limit itself to being an encyclopedia of 'articles'. Long ago, for example, lots of people kept 'Commonplace books'. Commonplaces are used by readers, writers, students, and scholars as an aid for remembering useful concepts or facts....

Something that isn't an article can still be very useful. EG Wikipedia has little to say about "Edmond Halley Sr." [sic; his name's Edmond Humphrey Halley], a father who proved critical to his son's success, and whose mysterious death complicated his son's life in multiple ways. I spent two hours online learning how and why (w/cites), but there's no room in the WP inn for publishing that summary.
It's not really a problem, though. 9 times out of 10 shell one-liners are single use, and when they're not, I want something more readable than a one liner, anyway.
Will a pro signage monitor have HDR? Will it support more than 60hz? Will it have multiple inputs? Looking at the specs for LG (just first up on the search) they have none of these features. I’d be concerned about viewing angles with a gaming monitor. I looked at all this stuff when I was TV shopping a few years ago.
Prior to the pandemic, people I worked with in NYC wore their commute times as badges of honor. “You commute 90 minutes each way? That’s nothing. I commute 2 1/4 hours each way”

Think of that. Some people were spending 4.5 hours commuting every day. And it was ok with them.
Well, I would presume so. May I suggest this short segment setting some groundwork for future discussion: https://youtu.be/Kiru1jZXuvA?t=1883
You're not wrong, the constant focus on "productivity" can be off putting.

For me, it's not about productivity. It's about how less frustrating the process is. You don't realize the base level of stress you have in your day to day life as a result of the unergonomic UX of your tools until you try something different. I wanted to learn vim like operation as a sort of academic experience, and now my computer just does what my mind wants it to do, very little friction. The hard part is convincing yourself to learn to do something a different way. Don't worry yourself with the productivity sales pitch, just do it out of curiosity and I'm almost certain, when you're done, you'll like it a lot better.
Google actually tried that a few years SEO through a google chrome add-on.

I heard it didn’t work very well for them. The results weren’t very good or helpful.

I do not think that Charles Bukowski is a good role model. I love his writing, some of it is very disturbing, and some I only read once - will not repeat the experience.

Fifth grade? Isn't that a bit generous?
I agree with your point, but this is maybe a bad example since there’s no indication that anyone was breached by this?
TVs have wider viewing angles than PC monitors. It’s not a 1:1 comparison.

I don’t mean to disparage ML generally. I think it has a lot of promise in academia, but its utility in the consumer electronics industry (especially one that’s pivoting towards entertainment services) seems pretty limited.

We know they probably use CTR as a ranking factor. However, a site could just literally add JS code on the page and disable the back button. So I don’t think that would work out that well for Google.
Totaly oversimplification. If google wanted you only to click on ads, it would be a type of yellow pages. What it is (as it was with newspapers and magazines a time ago): A place where you can place paid ads based on context. If you remove the context, it becomes worthless. So while everyone is complaining about search quality, its an uphill battle for any search company. Like PR tries to sneak in Ad-Material into reguluar journalism, companies try to manipulate search results with SEO ranging form keyword-stuffing to bait and switch search pages. (which are one reason why google needs humans and not ai to verify).
Wait, is the signaling server "public infrastructure"? Are you then having users pre-set/share all their DTLS keys and ICE passwords (to prevent the obvious MITM)? I don't remember seeing that in your documentation (but I am not reading it extremely carefully or anything). (This isn't an issue for Orchid as the endpoints are expected to expose signaling ports for WHIP.)

This list should include an exhortation to add an xml-stylesheet processing instruction to your feed, so people who have no idea what RSS is aren't dumped into a blob of raw XML before backing out and concluding that they're not supposed to be there. There's an already-baked XSL template available on aboutfeeds.com that you can pretty trivially copy onto your Web server and link to from your feed. We're better off if more people are aware of RSS, and having a simple way to teach them is useful.
That's a really interesting way to organize your books.

Despite the headine, the article is actually pretty sceptical about the quality of current machine-generated poetry, aside from some fluff about the "inevitability" of AI being able to write human-quality poetry. There's nowhere in the article that I could see which claims that "many people can't tell the difference." (Headlines are often written by editors rather than the writers themselves, and this one seems to have generated a particularly big disconnection between the two - I think the write has been hard done by here).

Besides which, often with these claims if you dig into them they start to fall apart. There's one about wine tasting that's often circulated - a study where people "couldn't tell the difference between red wine and white wine with added red food colouring". But IIRC the people in the study were first-year oenology (the study of wine) students, and I bet you (a) they'd be able to tell the difference between a Malbec and a Pouilly Fumé with red food colouring and (b) people who'd been tasting wine for longer (i.e. people who had more experience) would be able to tell the difference.

I'm reminded of a radio comedy panel game where the punchline to a joke was "bite the wax tadpole", and there was quite a bit of laughter around the fact that it was probably the first time in human civilisation that those four words had been used in that order before. AI may eventually be able to write something reasonable, but there's something very specific about good poetry ("good" is of course subjective) that I think is likely to always set it apart.
I switch between Materialistic and Harmonic myself. Materialistic has a better interface for reading imo (more efficient use of white space and font sizes), but Harmonic isn't too far behind. My biggest gripe with Materialistic is that I can't retrieve/reset my password in order to login elsewhere, since I signed up using the app using a random password (foolishly thinking my password manager would pick it up) and the password was saved to the Android system's account manager from which retrieval is impossible. And since HN doesn't really have robust account management itself, I'm stuck. No big deal though, I can always make a new account if needed.
The most secure supply chain is no supply chain, but the relationship is linear or better. A thousand dependencies is more than 100x worse than ten dependencies.

The search quality rater guide says:

“Your ratings will not directly affect how a particular webpage, website, or result appears in Google Search, nor will they cause specific webpages, websites, or results to move up or down on the search results page. Instead, your ratings will be used to measure how well search engine algorithms are performing for a broad range of searches.”

Is this accurate? Or is the guide bending the truth to discourage malicious raters from trying to influence site rankings? Google only uses the rater data to evaluate its search algorithm and doesn’t use the rater data to teach the algorithm? Seems like a missed opportunity.

That’s what’s confusing in the articles that have come out about quality raters.

Quality Raters don’t actually rank websites.

Quality Raters look at websites and answer questions about them. Google then uses that data as a small part of their algorithm to adjust some factors about those sites.

Quality Raters don’t actually rank pages on google.
I see you think this is a win-lose system. Free markets, however, are a win-win system. Both parties must win for the transaction to happen.

The employer-employee relationship is just another transaction, and should be win-win. If a manager sees it as win-lose, he should be fired. The same goes for an employee.

I've been an employer and an employee, and always recognized that it should be a win-win relationship and approached it from that angle.
I bought my razor a long time ago but I think it was just in an American chain drugstore, which others have mentioned. Amazon is probably the easiest place with the best selection of blades at decent prices. Might take a few tries to find a brand you like, so you'd want to avoid large quantities at first. I've heard there can be counterfeit blades but I've also heard that might be bull.
I was just a teenager around this time, in middle school or perhaps high school, and still in the early stages of programming (after moving on from the Commodore 64 and 6502 assembly), but -- even three decades later -- it's nice to finally have an answer to that one particular question that was asked so often and by so many all throughout those years:
