I think it's Google's branding. Google Talk used to be a desktop app on your PC that eventually became hangouts which lines up with the sunset in 2013 when desktop apps kind of died.. I think for some reason, google is called this Google Talk instead of hangouts and moving people to chat.
I'm convinced that everything Paul Graham has written since about 2009 is some generation of GPT. You could ask him if he's satisfied with its work.

It's actually not hard to write a program that can do what he does.

"What is wealth? Why are there unequal amounts of it? It's because wealth is what people want. If you can figure out what people want, you can generate a lot of wealth. Some people don't know this. Some people aren't cut out for startups. But people who know what people want can generate billion-dollar startups in record time by the standards of our ancestors. Unfortunately, there are people in politics and government who do not understand that wealth is what people want, and therefore cannot be regulated, because to do so is to regulate what people want, and companies that operate on this principle will find themselves unable to hire great programmers."

This stuff isn't hard to generate... I did it by hand, stream of consciousness.
I can't remember if this means my Polycom Google Voice ATA stops working or not. There was at least one third party Google Voice thing that needed Google Talk to work.
About the ugly: While I don't think just being tired is the essential cause of many problems, it does seem like it could be pretty wide-ranging. So, if every decision you make is a little bit worse and your emotional state is always just a little big degraded, this seems like it could compound pretty easily -- you'll be dealing with the consequences of your previous poor decisions while still tired and irritable.
until you get to the upscale restaurant which is selling $150 burgers, skewing the statistics.

or a crazy synthetic meat burger, how much did the first one of those cost, wasn't it in the millions?
> Regarding consciousness: we don't know how consciousness is implemented in the brain, that's true, but we might be able to implement it quite easily in a computer.

Do we know that consciousness exists? Have we been able to scientifically prove in humans that "everyone but me" isn't an NPC? Or put another way, isn't the fact of consciousness inherently subjective? It seems like we all accept that humans have Consciousness because we're not narcissists, but no one has actually pinpointed it. This paper for example, defines Consciousness as "not a process in the brain but a kind of behavior that, of course, is controlled by the brain like any other behavior." So I understand how we could implement the ability for a computer to trick a person into thinking they have consciousness, but I don't know that we could go about proving that they actually have consciousness given that we can't identify it in humans, unless we're talking about something very different than humans which we may be given your use of the activity monitor to define perception.

> The perception of own thoughts is not something difficult for a computer. Just check the activity monitor or run the ps command.

I don't know that this is a definition of perception that we could agree upon.

Though I guess one interesting point counter to mine (and I studied psychology, not AI, so I'm thinking about this from a different direction) is what would it mean to define sentience in something so seemingly sophisticated. I perceive that they AI would have to have sort of full blown human experience to be defined as sentient, but of course I might think a hummingbird has feeling and inner experience. The difference being that I expect the standard for AI to be higher because AI sounds like a human. Interesting.
I pay for it out of pocket. Yes, it'd be nice if companies also moved towards standardizing paying for remote office space, hopefully that'll become normal.

But the office payment is less than what I was spending in fuel having to commute, so in that sense I'm still saving money compared to pre-pandemic commute life.
Haha, yes, you found the one case (which is unrelated to the article) in which sound weakening is not a function of time, as the distance to you stays constant.
The go1.19beta1 binary (which you would use to try Go 1.19 Beta 1) should be placed in the usual place where 'go install' places them. If you’re using Go’s defaults, it’s likely $HOME/go/bin, unless you’ve set either GOPATH or GOBIN env vars to point somewhere else.
Good point! I think the EU is gonna force Apple to open up Messages, in which case Apple Messages will become the _de facto_ standard.

IMO your company just made wrong decision buying whatever you stuck with. I have a feeling this is about much smaller companies.
Is the question “do all real neural networks work exactly like backpropagation”, or is the question “can real neural networks do backpropagation”?

Because you’re pointing to the first, whereas I’m pointing to the second, and the article points to the second as well.

I agree with you that not all arrangements of real neurons look like backpropagation: neurons are way messier and more diverse in their configurations and in the way they interact with each other.
Oops, I mean to write even if the plane travelled faster than sound, not sound travelled faster than sound.
Even if it doesn't have value for everyday programming, translating it into Clojure/Python/Go/whatever can make it easier to understand. Most explanations I've seen of the Y combinator just work in lambda calculus, which I at least find somewhat difficult to read; translating it into a more familiar language can make it easier to understand.
Wow, I always thought I had abnormally early memories, but nothing like this. Do you have these memories only from being very young? Or are the glimpses there from infant up to now?
Yet another problem caused by having both parents work.
So weird, because they actually had the best one for some time. The Windows Google Talk client was amazing.
TLA+ and P are formal specification languages that let us formally define the behavior of our system and have a model checker reason about its correctness. In this post, I share some practical tips on using these awesome tools.

Will they, or will they have a lot of free time in the morning? Time they could even spend doing homework, giving them their evenings free and clear.

edit: as an early riser myself, that absolutely doesn't mean that I want to go in early. I enjoy having hours to myself in the morning, being able to relax, cook a nice breakfast, maybe watch a movie, before going in. I don't know why it has to be the standard that we be in a frustrated hurry every morning.
How does the smoke alarm differentiate between "forgotten food burning on the stove" and "house is on fire" and if you aren't there to do something about it, what good does it do to notify you? Shouldn't it notify the fire department, if anything?
Using the same logic, shouldn't a proclaimed top-notch company be able to embrace engineers w/ less than stellar skills? Who may have some "messiness" in how they work?

While I get why asking to view a codebase could come across as sounding like someone only wants to work on neat and tidy solutions, I don't hear it this way.

It's very normal and human to have preferences. It's OK for a prospective employee to ask questions about the working environment. There are a number of valid reasons to try and gain more in-depth signal on technical aspects of the company that don't mean someone is a snowflake.

There are a lot of ways to gauge this kind of signal without viewing a proprietary codebase, as others have mentioned in this thread. The questions posed in the comment you replied to are some great examples of how to do this - I think these get to the core of the matter more effectively than looking at code.
A normal company would have had basically one product all these years and not renamed it just due to internal engineering efforts.

I also imagine chat apps are great for promotion driven development. Not that hard to make from scratch relative to something like search or maps. I’m surprised Gmail isn’t constantly cannibalized, although still it has been a small amount. Some execs must be protecting dilution of that important brand.
For the last 5 years? Just a service. Google shut down all first party apps starting in 2012 and wrapping in 2017.

Amusingly, they started sunsetting it to support the move to Google+ Hangouts. Not only does Google+ no longer exist, not only does Google+ Hangouts no longer exist, the progeny Google Hangouts is also dead.
The first one. XMPP that worked with programs like Trillian and Adium.
> It's much easier to remember/recognize an integer based PK when troubleshooting a data problem.

How often are you actually relying on memory of an ID to troubleshoot a problem? I mean sure, if you are scanning visually, it's good to recognize the same ID over and over again, but my ability to do so caps around 4-6 characters. So I just look at the last 4 chars regardless when fast scanning.

I use copy-paste for any time I need to transport IDs between contexts (that isn't just scripted, which is best). Having a copy-paste stack (Alfred, Raycast and others have this feature) is a huge game changer here.
Selling stuff != developing stuff. If you can develop and they can sell (and I guess you'd develop the product in any case) it's a win-win.
It's not just the GP. I've done both US Eastern to EU and US Eastern to US Pacific enough times to know how I respond.

I find the 3 hour difference to the west coast to be way harder to adjust to than the 5 or 6 hour (depending on destination) difference to Europe. I'm a zombie for a week going to California and spring right back to eastern time going home.

Going to Europe, it's about a day to fully kick over to the time change in either direction. Admittedly, it's a rough day headed east that usually involves an afternoon nap, but I've come to despise the three hour change to Pacific time far more.
We are careful not to play favorites with customers, whether the relationship is direct or through a reseller. Success for our resellers translates into success for us. Every unit sold matters. Every relationship matters. Critically, every re-order matters. We prefer to smother every relationship with unfailing responsiveness. We never say, "no", but we do say, "not now". The (vanishingly) few customers we have lost, we go through an all-hands soul-searching to understand the "why". Our group and individual integrity is, at the end of the day, the only thing we really have.

I want to point out that "side hustle" should not be a dirty word. I introduce myself as a professional sea kayak instructor and guide with a side hustle as a founding software engineer. My colleague introduces himself as a sea kayak instructor and guide with a side hustle as a high school math teacher and director of the school district's drama program. Autobiography is a skill we should all practice; how you write and speak about yourself translates quickly into who you will become.

I don't think it's likely that they believed it would remain secret forever. Reckless perhaps, but nation states tend to understand that the window of covert action is relatively brief and that lots of external parties are interested in investigating the aftermath.

(That's also why the "there was no special obfuscation" commentary is silly -- they just don't care. Obfuscation is pointless window dressing in these scenarios.)

Don't forget a out Google Wave!
Sorry, I thought the first answer was so short it seemed rude, which is not what I intended.
I think you already know both of these things are handicaps forced by the US Congress.
Cng sounds cool. "Code Not Guns" is probably inspired by "Food Not Bombs" which coincidentally I heard of only fairly recently.

You can also checkout all the "Code For America" organizations for local nonprofit government coding projects. I don't know if it will fit your anarchist philosophy but it would certainly help to have more volunteers to help connect citizens to their local US governments.
That was probably a fine idea when they were getting started and just throwing ideas against the wall when starting at 0, but they are a big establish company with big established products. They can't just throw the baby out with the bathwater every time and expect users to actually be on board.

Google Wave was the perfect example of that. Wave would have been amazing if it was integrated into Gmail. Like Apple did with iMessage, if a Gmail user emailed another Gmail user (or group of users) it would turn into a Wave and get a bunch of extra features. This would have provided value, instantly given it millions of users, and encouraged current users to get their friends and co-workers on Gmail to use Waves. Instead, they made it it's own invite-only service (trying to recreate the Gmail magic) and it was a failure due to lack of users.

This is a horrible strategy and they are going to continue shooting themselves in the foot if they don't pivot.
Definitely. Basically the business results (ad revenue) is more or less decoupled, in the short and medium terms, from what I would guess 90% of engineers in Google do. So calculate digits of Pi, write books and blog posts, write chat apps, reinvent any wheel possible, rewrite code all the time. A lot of Google's software is actually becoming worse, search, chat, navigation/maps as the 10% that are doing valuable work are fighting entropy and the other 90%.

Pure speculation (other than the part about their software becoming worse) so would be interested in the insider's take here. That said it's a pattern I've seen in other places. It's crazy that with so many people of this caliber they're basically spinning their wheels in many areas. Some progress in a few areas, like cloud.

Same for adults and especially people here. One untruth or inconsistency and I'll immediately label someone as nonsentient. Sorry, absolute consistent truth is just where the bar is.
When talking about practical small plane with relatively acceptable noise levels and fuel efficiency, I don't think Harrier counts as it "being cracked". 125dB at 100 feet from the plane, very limited time it can spend on vertical takeoff while loaded, limited situations (fuel/weight/thrust ratio) in which it can hover at all...If it was cracked, the newer iteration of the "same thing" - F-35B - wouldn't be so complex and take so many billions to develop...

These are great sections to have - along with "Who" to delineate responsibilities between teams for say future maintenance in case several teams are involved.
It sucks from employee perspective, but the thing that matters in the end is what you see under the bottom line. I'm pretty sure this is financially the most sensible option for many companies in certain niches. Doesn't mean it is necessarily nice thing to work with, which can be quite different thing.
I remember high school back in the 1970's. Classes started at 8:30 and had 6 periods. But the last one was all optional classes. It's deranged they didn't flip that.

Feels like start times have gotten worse. Especially due to paranoia about letting kids walk around by themselves. Busing and low density suburbs. And school closures. Probably also administrators impulse to inflict control on students and teachers.
Ouch, I think nobody will like the answer to this.

It's just my impression, obviously, because I haven't done any formal research on this, but looks like the actual experts know how much they know and how much they don't know, and were quite fine since the start.

Also, every single channel that turns their opinions into advice or policy is noisy by an absurd level. So much that what experts think isn't even relevant to predict their results.
Apple buried ~2,700 unsold Lisa computers in a Logan, Utah landfill in 1989.
I don't think it is. We're all professionals, if I'm doing something they need to know about then I'll inform them.

A ticket that takes 2 minutes to create is just distracting from tickets that provide real value to my colleagues. We're here to work together and improve something, not to babysit each other's schedules.

"Visibility into what I'm doing" as a reason to create a ticket is relevant for micromanagement, not for a team of professionals that trust each other's commitment to the job.

It's a catastrophe with windows. Make two windows snap to the borders, so together they're fullscreen? 2 pixel gap between the windows; 1 pixel gap at the right, left and upper side; 2 pixel gap to the windows bar at the bottom. How can this be so hard? And even if it's hard, this is so obvious you really want to fix it.
I remember reading this article and thinking, "okay, this is already absurd, things can't get any worse" and then there's another chat engine Google once used to have. And another. And it keeps going on.
> The XPS 13 is better and more expensive except because of the battery and performance against the M2?. In the M1 "it is the battery stupid". Nothing compares to the M1 in the battery side

It’s better even though it’s more expensive, worse battery life and worse performance or did I parse your sentence incorrectly.
This is a long discussion but perhaps to keep it short, the alternative is “thought police”. But I have the feeling you’re not asking for an answer?
This is a weird article that imagines that businesses skipped straight from analog -> IP. They mostly didn’t. Mid-size and larger businesses had been running digital phones and PBX systems for years and years prior to IP phones.
I can't find the article right now, but even wire transfers can be reversed under the right circumstances. Reversibility is actually necessary in ~everything under the right circumstances. There is a surprisingly high volume of wire transfer hold-harmless agreement traffic (this is banks agreeing to reverse wire transfers in exchange for transferring the liability if the transfer was not actually bad/fraudulent)

A Wearable Exam Stress Dataset for Predicting Real-World Cognitive Performance
Suppose observer just woke up / heard plane that is passing overhead.

Very reasonable assumption, as the plane might have taken off thousands of miles away, and will land thousands of miles away in the other direction.

In this case, no point talking about takeoff sound, as it is not detectable already at these distances.

Humans can detect reasonably well which direction the sound comes from. This direction will not match the direction they observe the airplane at.

The article is describing the mismatch between plane real position and the plane position we would detect if we were just listening to it.
> At a very early age, they will recognize their mother.

If there's any stimulus that gets worked over and over, it's your mother's face. Surely in a traditional mother-child relationship you use your mother's face to learn how faces work, probably even your own face.

I'm not sure what you're trying to explain to me. I'm aware of object permanence.
What's marginal? From the article:

> Places that have already pushed back school start times have repeatedly seen positive results. When Seattle’s public-school district shifted its start time in 2016 (from 7:50 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.), students got a median of an additional 34 minutes of sleep a night as a result. And in Cherry Creek, a Denver-area suburb, high schoolers slept about 45 minutes longer on average, and those improvements endured even two years after the change.

34 extra minutes of sleep on 55 is pretty good IMO.
The CDC also has numbers from 2009-2019, the following report shows similiarly shocking numbers pre-covid:

The issue is, can we tell if this is cherry picked on not? I'm sure Lemoine has been speaking with Lambda for a while, did he pick the best conversation, or worse, parts of the best conversations he's had? That can make the bot look a lot better than it is, removing the bad out of character answers it gives.
> Even at the larger sizes, a vector won't always look great. If the renderer doesn't fudge vector edges to snap to pixel edges, you'll end up with blurry edges instead of clean, sharp ones.

Do you have an example? Text is essentially "vector" these days, and I've never heard of anyone complaining that text rendered on a modern screen has blurry edges. The blurriness of some text is often "cleartype" or whatever tricks are being used to make it look better on low-dpi screens, which end up making it worse on modern displays.
Air properties are actually super relevant, the speed of sound distribution (slower with increasing altitude) can have lensing effects for sonic booms.
It can be quite effective after the fact. Our 500x engineer had no reason to pad, and every reason to avoid wasting time writing anything nonfunctional.

In the event, he assigned two-week tasks, and where not done on time he would do them himself over the weekend. During the two weeks, he would do up to ten such tasks, despite that he reserved the harder tasks for himself.
Physical activity outdoors is more sedentary and more isolating than working in an office?
Of course you hear the siren or crazy man or anything, before it passes you if the component of the velocity vector pointing to you is slower than the speed of sound.

But it still takes time for the sound to reach you. And in that time the source has continued to move. So it will be as if you are watching a video but hearing with a tape delay.

If some one was standing 1000 meters away from you, and had a sign that flashed a sequence of numbers, 1,2,3,4,… once per second, and at the same time as the number flashed, they shouted the number loud enough that you could hear it, do you think what you heard and what you saw would be in sync?
