Less people with dependents (partners, kids)? Less people care or put thought into what happens after they die? Also anecdotally many/most peers I talk to about this say their company provides life insurance, I then point out the difference between this and actual term life insurance for when/if they change companies: “oh huh…”
Terminal workflows are very much not for everyone. Many people are happy to pay a few bucks for a nice and friendly GUI application. It's not such a bad thing that people are willing to pay for software, as it is, in fact, the way many of us make our living.
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I would have a hard time taking "pretend to work somewhere else" seriously from my boss if he was a Twitter meme lord who seems to spend most of his cycles flinging poo in the shittersphere.
> Also, from what I've experienced from our internship program, CS programs are really bad at covering these fundamentals. Students aren't learning such basics as version control, ci/cd, cloud platforms, linux, etc.

That's because those things are not part of Computer Science, or so I'm told. I got a degree in Software Engineering and regret nothing.
So, these guys were controlling tens of billions worth of dollars and as all failed they end up laundering 4.8M? It's either beyond desperation or maybe it's not what the author thinks it is.

No, lazy would be straw-manning a stranger's argument for no good reason to elicit an emotional reaction. It's a style of communication that seeks conflict rather than understanding, and there is plenty of it on twitter and reddit, but not here.
“I lived paycheck-to-paycheck, except I have savings” is a gross misunderstanding of the term.

> Sure. But it's not like he wants it for personal consumption. You gotta ask what is "reason why" is. What is he after? And I'd say it's something like a better nervous system for the human species as such.

My reading is he wanted Twitter because it's an influential, chronically under performing platform that he enjoys using. It'll give him incredible power to shape narratives and impact how many get information.

I feel that not doing this, not trying new, innovative strategies, would be giving up. We already know things that don't work. We know that Regan era "don't do drugs" screens on arcade machines doesn't work. If we were truly giving up we'd be sticking with what we know doesn't work and turning off our brains to the fact that it doesn't work.

Instead what we're seeing is people searching around for new innovative approaches to the problem that haven't be tried yet.

To your point around crime, it is thought that this decriminalization effort may reduce petty theft.

One of the most significant changes being made here in Vancouver is that police can no longer confiscate small amounts of drugs. Up to this point they were doing this very often. Not just drug dealers, but frequently confiscating from regular users.

It is thought that this active policing and confiscation has helped to contribute to a cycle of petty theft, in that the police are effectively robbing drug users and forcing them to spend more of their income on drugs. When a person's drugs they need to feel normal are confiscated, their need for them doesn't go away, and they immediately have a new problem in that need to buy more. Stealing something to sell from a car or store is a very quick way to get that money. Effectively at this point not confiscating drugs is giving drug users more income and reducing pressure to steal to earn more income.

Will people continue to steal for other reasons? Perhaps some. There are also lots of agencies giving free food and there is minimum assistance and (not enough) social housing, so it is argued that the support network is good enough that people shouldn't need to steal to survive.

The next step here as well is that this decriminalization is a path to a safe prescribed supply of drugs, which would further save drug users money.

Sorry. I've hired several remote employees over the past 2.5 years. We now have teams comprised of individuals from all over the country - something that was simply impossible working in an office building. I have the stats showing our productivity has soared. My company is now hiring execs (VP-level folks) from all around the country. The WFH culture has been fully adopted, and quite successfully at that. Oh, and my company is a Fortune 200 blue chip that's over 115 years old...

I'm a full stack developer with an emphasis on front end development – particularly focusing on performance, usability, and general user experience. I love making things look and feel great for users, and ensuring a degree of reliability and correctness that front ends deserve. I also enjoy building great APIs for other developers, making it so it's easier and more fluid to build great front ends with less expertise or experience.

My most recent work is an overhaul of https://instantdomainsearch.com and the leading the creation of the front end of https://instantdomains.com. Prior to that I've helped build a wide range of products from website builders to a robotic arm simulation environment for chemistry experiment automation. I love to explore, learn, and get better at my craft.

My goal is to join a team building great things for customers we really care about. I want to learn, teach, and share my experience. I'm motivated to deliver the best work I can, support a team I love working with, and build products I can take pride in. I'm looking for full time work, ideally.
Depending on your exact field and desires, but you may very well not need a portfolio. If you’re going for very design-heavy frontend job then maybe, but after I got some work experience nobody needed to see code I wrote in my spare time (which I have none of).

I wouldn’t let that stop you. Just start applying.
Let's recap. You made a comment about one person (yourself) playing multiple instruments at once. Somebody replied asking to see that, because it "sounded cool." I provided another example of one person performing multiple instruments at once. Instead of watching the video (or ignoring the conversation), you instead decided to publicly declare that wasn't "real" musicianship, and provided a link to a video where the drummer is literally doing the exact same thing that you just declared wasn't "real" musicianship. You then decided to not watch the video again and instead doubled down on your false claims.

So, if you're asking why we're discussing one-man-bands in a "thread about visual coordination between musicians," that question falls to you, since you were the one who started the sidetracked conversation, which turned out to be a self-aggrandizing advertisement. Yet, now you're gaslighting and trying to make it sound like I did something wrong when, in fact, you were the one who both sidetracked the thread and then confrontationally declared a musician wasn't a real musician, thereby turning it into a "values debate" -- despite obviously meeting all of your requirements for "real" musicianship, since you're both quite literally using identical methods and technologies.

The video visibly shows him playing all of the instruments and not using a sequencer, which betrays that you still haven't actually watched the video.

I've worked on 100s of successful projects for Rockwell, Northrop
Grumman, Adobe, Motorola, the DTIC, UK-NCIS, and many others.
I was the sole software developer one year for 50% of the U.S. Vote and
did the initial draft of one of Adobe's printer protocols. I've worked
on my own Linux distro for 25 years and have patched and built 1,000s of
FOSS packages in the process.

In my most recent role, discussed in the PDF, I had a patch to Linux kernel
5.17 accepted. It was a minor patch but made it possible for the project to
support vanilla kernels.

I'm looking for 1099 work. I don't mind junior roles and/or "fill in the gaps" tasks.
They are not collapsing just for fun without a reason.

The normal people of that country are btw not able to just buy crypto. After all someone still needs to take their money to exchange it and they need hardware and knowledge.

You sound like crypto would just solve those issues just because it's there.
Like most of the commenters here, it also confused me, so I'd imagine it confuses a lot of people.

I also once worked at a company that had a name similar to a video game. Two seconds of looking at our website would have make it obvious that we were not related, but we got a lot of calls about it anyway. We got a laugh out of it when it happened.

Real problem is that this is political question.

For human rights all simple - all people must have possibility to protect their rights to life, liberty and property, and in real life, mister Colt is best friend of adequate citizen.
So limitations on civil guns are limitations of people rights.

It is adequate to limit rights on guns for felons and for incapable persons, these are only exceptions.

Query-independent page and site signals like PageRank (or its site variants) have limited utility in a search ranker. Mostly, they are useful in weeding out bad pages and sites from your index, tie-breaking when you hit shard limits in retrieval and a few other edge cases.

The signals that matter the most:
1. Anchor text (and all variants of smearing and distinguishing between high quality and low quality anchors)
2. In aggregate, which pages got clicked on on any given query (and all smearing variants -- using ngrams, embeddings, ...). At Neeva, we use it for retrieval and scoring.
3. Query understanding signals mined from the query-click bi-partite graph and the query-query session refinement graph.
4. Page summarization signals built on top of 1 and 2 and body text.
5. To a lesser extent, query-independent page quality signals

Whether you use term-based retrieval or nearest neighbor (embedding) retrieval, a heuristic combination of signals or LambdaMart, whether you calibrate to human eval or clicks, whether your topical relevance function is hand crafted or uses a combination of deep learning and IR signals are all details past that.

tldr; there's a lot of craft in a search ranker, and no one silver bullet. Definitely not just PageRank.
I like these two posts -- yours and the one above. It makes me think: If gov't is going to add regulation for social media accounts (something that I support), should it be a requirement to identify yourself to the social media network owner? My point: Some kind of national ID tied to your name, but kept private, so the company can absolutely say if you do or do not own the account. I know, I know, there are all kinds of holes. However, consider the alternative: What if it was not required (real ID for your social media accounts)? How could these companies reliably tie the account back to a real person making a claim? Require 2FA via YubiKey? I have learned from HN that a mobile phone + SMS just isn't secure enough in many jurisdictions. It is too easy to use social engineering to takeover a mobile phone.

Edit: I have mentioned before in previous comments (not this post): After Dodd-Frank regulations in the US, global investment banks really changed their behavior when fines became massive. So massive, it was seriously altering quarterly revenues and hurting stock prices. I favour the same type of regulation for social media network companies. It is the only way to make them listen to the law.
In my own experience there was a precipitous decline in my job performance related critical thinking around 32-34 ( I'm 36 now ) that I chalk up to a variety of factors:

- Stress
- Family obligations
- Not enjoying the work I do anymore
- Solving the same problems over and over because I can't fix the org that produces them.
- Solving the above problems in a new technology.
- Crappy co-workers that I don't want to interact with
- Giving my best to people and projects that never give back.
- Making creative solutions that the client doesn't use because the clients are broken beyond my paygrade to solve them.

I burned out really badly around 5-6 years ago and it took a long time to recover. I feel better now mainly because I've stopped working on software projects in my spare time and now do manual labor on large project on some land I bought in my spare time. It's insanely satisfying to see the fruits of my labor add up over time without deprecation or having to do work every time an upstream project changes things or feeling "less than" about my work. My work speaks for itself on the land and it pleases me, no one else's approval required. ( Something I never felt about the software projects I worked on. ) It's also fun to talk to non-tech folks about the work because they usually have good suggestions about how to do something better that, for the most part, they give constructively.

My only advice/thoughts would be maybe take a step back. Do you TRULY enjoy what you are doing? In my own experience, it's hard to motivate yourself to work on things that you don't truly care about as you get older. Solving other people's problems was fun until I realized the entire world ( including the billionaires that have "made it" ) are mostly just people getting along and aren't necessarily more capable or knowledgeable than me. Some people get lucky with timing, tenaciousness, and talent... it's probably too late for me, but that's okay.
> I cant say that still translates to today's workers, but if his vision is that there is still just as much room to grow - then he would be making a lot more millionaires if he is correct.

Therein lies the rub, as they say. He may have spun off millionaires based on original investors, and maybe a few early employees forwent salary for stock options and became millionaires.

But we're talking about hard workers who put in over 40 hours a week currently. Are they working for stock options that are going to make them millionaires?
OK, then who would you say are elite, if not the people that make more than 90% of people?

This might be considerably different, and calling it "prior art" fails to consider what is actually going on here. The appearance may be similar, but lots of things can look similar while being completely distinct. And this is indeed such a case.

One of the words I got was "charlite" for the pale green colour of charcoal used as a dye. Charlite might not be a real word, but it is made up the same way a real word would be.

The method is important, because "charlite" probably came about by specifically asking GPT2 for a definition to the non-word "charlite."

In fact, this shows up in the source code examples:

# definition for a word you make up
print(word_generator.generate_definition("glooberyblipboop"))

This is literally the opposite of what OP is presented, since we know where the "defined" word comes from with the GPT2 examples, which means that was a demo of GPT2 trying to work out a human provided word. It is literally a function of the program: generate_definition(). It was specifically written to do that.

But we don't know where the words come from, even though they are internally consistent, with the DALL-E 2 examples. As far as we can tell, it's an internal phenomenon not based on intentional human input.

Having said that, GPT2 probably has the same phenomenon. But the link you provided is not demonstrating that.
Are there studies that prove that working from the office is more effective? You must have studies proving this, as I'm sure you're not advocating for collectively wasting billions of hours of time each week on commuting "because we've always done it that way". Surely.

I largely agree that it sounds like these problems are business/management problems.

It seems that there is also a labor shortage for good managers.

If a business is already top heavy, how do you get better managers?
The traditional argument would be to pay more and get better talent.
This honestly seems like a hard problem to solve.
