Numbers on the right are production-specific, but you can generally figure out that it's some combination of page number, scene number, and act numbers -- often with new pages inserted without reordering later ones, so 3B sometimes might mean the page between 3 and 4.

Asterisks on the right side indicate lines added/changed since the previous revision. Big blank spaces indicate where lines have been taken away.

This complicated system is because pages are constantly being replaced/inserted and distributed as they're rewritten, without re-printing the entire script -- not just to save paper, but because people are writing personal notes/highlights/etc. on pages and you don't want to lose those.
I’d go dither than that and claim that almost everything of importance has checksums: Google Docs, Google Sheets, Git submissions, all my important web accounts, the traffic with my bank website and so forth.

I've worked in the tech industry in the Bay Area my whole life and never heard this, so not exactly legendary. Maybe they're orgies that people keep hush hush.
I think it's more a question of derivative work. Normally derivative work is an infringement unless it falls under fair use.

Now a human can take inspiration from like 100 different sources and probably end up with something that no one would recognize as derivative to any of them. But it also wouldn't be obvious that the human did that.

But with an ML model, it's clearly a derivative in that the learned function is mathematically derived from its dataset and so is all the resulting outputs.

I think this brings a new question though. Because till now derivative was kind of implied that the output was recognizable as being derived.

With AI, you can tweak it so the output doesn't end up being easily recognizable as derived, but we know it's still derived.

Personally I think what really matters is more a question of what should be the legal framework around it. How do we balance the interests of AI companies and that of developers, artists, citizens who are the authors of the dataset that enabled the AI to exist. And what right should each party be given?
This just isn't true. If might be true for some companies, but this is a big part of why I pay close attention to the IP agreements involved when I hire onto a new company, and the wrong IP agreement is a deal-breaker for me. In my case it's side projects rather than a second employer, but the principal is the same.

My agreement with my current company explicitly spells out work not done on their equipment, their time, or related to their business as not theirs. I use this to work for my side projects, a co-worker uses it to moonlight (with our employers knowledge).

Sure Google is probably going to make you sign an IP agreement that makes this impossible, but not every tech job is FAANG.
This is just nonsense.

It's similar to saying that any digital representation of an image isn't an image just a dataset that represent it.

If what you said was any sort of defense every image copyright would never apply to any digital image, because the images can be saved in different resolutions, different file formats, or encoded down. e.g. if a jpeg 'image' was only an image at an exact set of digital bits i could save it again with a different quality setting and end up with a different set of digital bits.

But everyone still recognises when an image looks the same, and courts will uphold copyright claims regardless of the digital encoding of an image. So goodluck with that spurious argument that it's not copyright because 'its on the internet (oh its with AI etc).
Because you'll inevitably burn out at that rate non-stop.
This is an oversimplistic view of tech work, especially software. If you're a contractor who doesn't care about the product beyond doing your well-delineated part properly, then sure, that attitude is perfectly reasonable (no sarcasm - that's not intended as a put-down of contract work). If you are an actual part of a team working to create a product you ostensibly all care about, you obviously will work together to distribute work; to account for surprises; to fix problems without being assigned a ticket that tells you exactly how to fix it; to make a good product. It's a fluid bag of work that naturally fills into any holes that develop in people's schedules. Work of that nature isn't "doing more than you're asked", because that kind of teamwork is in fact exactly what is asked.
I am a movie enthusiast and I love it. Thank you.
A good professional recruiter can help with this kind of problem. A recruiter can prepare the hiring manager in advance regarding your disability, emphasizing your skills and experience. An empathetic hiring manager can brief the interviewers. And the recruiter can get feedback from interviews and coach you in a "safe" context.

Finding a good recruiter with the skills to coach you and the hiring manager will take some effort. Recruiting has a low bar to entry (like programming) so many recruiters play a numbers game and don't work with candidates. A good recruiter will know about the company, tell you what to expect in the interviews, even what you should wear. If the recruiter doesn't know that they probably don't have much of a relationship with their customer (the hiring company).

Remember, as a candidate you never pay a recruiter. They get paid for successful placement by the company.

> Which of these are fair in your opinion?

Who said anything about fair? The only one that is "equal treatment" is the one where 10 reports takes them down. It's shitty policy, but that's a different question isn't it? Number of followers playing a role is where treatment stops being equal. I'm not arguing what's the right way to handle this, I'm just contradicting rhetoric aiming to justify their policy by fallacious argument.

Edited to add: I don't think tax code is meant to or treats people equally, even though they're all subject to the same rules. The rules explicitly divide taxpayers into categories with different treatment.

If we're going by chaos theory handwaving, i.e. IIRC, CIA funnelled cash via Vatican 40 years after Stalin's death, then still around zero, but on par with the power of a flapping butterfly.

Ford had to petition the government to switch from sealed beam headlights to composite lights by claiming they couldn't meet fuel economy standards without them. The truth was they just wanted to use them on the then new Taurus.

It was another 5 years before you could use a shape other than rectangular or round, even for composite lights. I believe the Dodge Viper was the first US car to get them.
It’s true that if you can deliver to expectations, you could do it, but here’s the thing, growth in a job isn’t linear.

The amount you make as a manager, director, on up grows by more and more. Most company directors or VPs make 2-10x what a passably performing IC makes. Taking two jobs pretty much assures that you won’t grow in either one. Additionally, it only works when you don’t have too many other responsibilities and the demand is where it is for developers.

The minute demand slows down (like it’s doing now) most employers will start pushing for more in-person time from their teams; and have more options for changing out low-performers.

It’s probably one of the least efficient least sustainable ways you could earn enough to retire.
Due to the way depreciation works, it ends up being a minimal impact. When my wife left a university job after 2 years, they sold her the laptop she'd been using for about $250. It wasn't high end, but this was about 25% of what it cost new, and 35% of what it would have cost my wife to buy a similar computer new at that time.

Being taxed on a couple hundred dollars is roughly the cost of a dinner out. It is definitely better to accept a free computer at such a discounted valuation and turn around and sell it. In no event would you come close to losing money — the taxable value of the computer would be far lower than what you could sell it for, and your tax on the taxable value would be just a fraction of that.

This isn't some unsolvable conundrum, companies hire countless contractors and dev shops to work with, and create, their IP. Those contractors and shops work with many clients simultaneously while juggling IP that belongs to disparate entities.

Is it retro reflective? The couple times that I have seen digital license plates in the wild, they've been almost unreadable during the night because they weren't retroreflective like a normal license plate or street sign.
Absolutely nothing. In fact, it’s probably immoral not to.
It's not "empty inventory" it's just inventory. Rental market deals in empty apartments, nobody rents apartments with tenants inside. If there had not been empty apartments nobody would be able to move and any freed apartment would be snatched at much higher price than you observe now. Even when the inventory simply drops (the number of empty rentals decreases but still above zero) you see things like dozens of people on the same showing, forced to apply immediately.
Dark matter and dark energy aren’t part of the standard model.

You object to it allegedly including those things (it doesn’t), despite apparently not knowing what those phrases refer to? As, dark energy and dark matter are both ideas relating to gravity. So, why would you think that the standard model includes those things, given that the purpose of those ideas is to describe/explain some observations about gravity, and that the standard model does not attempt to describe gravity?

Or... possibly it is more that you don’t know what “the standard model” refers to?

Yeah, that seems to be it.

Hey! Yes, I am! Glad you've enjoyed the recipes on Grimgrains :D
There was an hourly contractor I knew that used company A's laptop and wifi connection to do work for Company B, doing code check ins on Company B's open source github with his real name.

He would go hide into some office in Company A for a couple hours during the work day doing some kind of meeting, hoping that no one would notice him behind the glass walls.

Meanwhile his performance sucked for Company A, and he couldn't handle apparently simple tasks either. The github check-ins were flagged by the firewall, and they summarily let him go as soon as they saw it.

I would not hire him if his resume crossed my path again.
It's true, and they have you sign a ton of documents, and track your time. If you want to work two jobs, become an independent contractor.

Just don't get too upset when they dont share their quarterly roadmap with you or invite you to the company picnic.
Yes but we do expect to be unaffected by financial crime.

I have never been the victim of a financial crime, like an institution trusted to hold my assets just not doing it. Most people I know haven’t either.

Granted it’s not like it never happens. But it’s exceedingly rare and people’s standards are incredibly high. We demand and expect that if you put money in a bank you can always get it back and we mostly stick to that plan.
Can you maybe cite the folks who are using crypto out of necessity instead of banking with money? Someone getting PayPal miffed at them isn't remotely the same thing as "can't use money", and I think you know that.

What you're doing is extrapolating from "some people sometimes have trouble with a bank" (true) to "the only way to evade oppressive banking censorship is crypto" (bananas).

Or rather, the second frame is true, for a certain subset of transactions that happen to be illegal.

Imagine telling someone who wanted to learn a sport to watch it. I define someone that writes as a writer. It is the act of writing that enables you to then read and learn from others.

An example: a dyslexic friend and a dyslexic family member: their writing communication skills of both is now fine in part because their jobs required it from them (and in part because technology helps). I also had one illiterate friend, who has taught himself to read and write as an adult (basic written communication), due to the needs of his job. Learn by doing, and add observation of others as an adjunct to help you. Even better if you can get good coaching (which requires effort at your craft or sport).

Disclaimer: never a writer. Projecting from my other crafts/sports. Terribly written comment!
You should read Selling to the Affluent, by Thomas Stanley, author of The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy. I have been learning from this book. You should be a giver, understand customers' needs to sell more effectively.

Feel free to list even one successful Web3 site. Not as in "could be useful in the future", but useful now, and used by a significant number of people for activities that are not directly crypto-related.

Keep in mind that "web 1.0" was immediately useful, to many people, at a large scale. The original web wasn't restricted to web developers doing web development things. It was used by industry, government, and academia at scale almost immediately.

It’s also exactly what will burn you out and make you question life when your shares become worthless.

This is... not quite true.

Most people can retire off of 2 million USD in a major city. Spend the first million on your house and you live off of the 6-8% ROI for the second million.

Even if your living expenses is over 100k/yr, you can comfortably retire after 4 million USD in most areas of the world (House + worst case scenario 4% ROI off of 3 million).

Most people with over $4m in assets do not retire because they find value in earning money, not because they can't.

If you're an L5 at Amazon making 330k/yr, saving around 100k/yr after taxes and expenses, you can retire around 15ish years assuming you don't inherit or luck into a high growth asset.

Maybe this just reflect poorly on my numerical intuition, but it seems to me the forest may be dark because it's more of very sparse forest? As in, no matter how many trees there are, they are so far apart from each other that it's really more of a steppe. When "nearby" is tens or hundreds of light years, and most things are not nearby, it seems there's plenty of both time and space to make it very believable that there's just little to no overlap between when detectable civilizations and civilizations able to listen coincide.
Well said. In a perverse way, financial schemes built on top of cryptocurrencies represent the crowning achievement of traditional finance: we've successfully made it so safe, so incredibly boring for ordinary citizens that technologists believe they can derive the same system from first principles.
I think the issue people have is that every developer trying to implement FizzBuzz will not have studied all the existing public copyrighted implementations. They will likely be reinventing the solution with maybe never having seen an existing FizzBuzz implementation or having only seen one or two at most, and probably won't be re-implementing it verbatim.

But the machine learning model has studied every single one of them.

And maybe more preposterous, if its dataset had no FizzBuzz implementation would it even be able to re-invent it?

I feel this is the big distinction that probably annoys people.

That and the general fact that everyone is worried it'll devalue the worth of an experienced developer as AI will make hard thing easier, require less effort and talent to learn and thus making developers less high demand and probably lower paid.
I had a discussion with a communist recently and we decided the only way to make communism work was by having an AI make decisions and not giving a human that power.
> Giving them the benefit of the doubt here, at minimum they chose which random third parties to believe were honest and correct.

Well probably no, they didn't pick and choose at all, they just "chose" everyone who put code online with a license. Which is a legal statement of ownership by each of those people, and implies legal liability as well.

> is that the fault of Stephen King or the person selling the robot?

Well, there's certainly an argument to be made that it's neither -- it's the fault of the person who claimed Stephen King's work as their own with a legal notice that it was licensed freely to anyone. That person is the one committing theft/fraud.

The point is that with ML training data, such a vast quantity is required that it's unreasonable to expect humans to be able to research and guarantee the legal provenance of it all. A crawler simply believes that licenses, which are legally binding statements, are made by actual owners, rather than being fraud. It does seem reasonable to address the issue with takedowns, however.

> If you give your manager the ability to think of you as always meeting your deadlines, I guarantee they’ll be happy.

Sure, as long as they never find out that you've been padding your estimates or that the project everyone thought was going to take a week turned out to be much simpler than anticipated and you got in done on Monday and just played video games the rest of the week they'll be happy. There's even plenty of bad management out there, so in some places this might hold true for a long period of time (even a career!), but it's not because that's what your employer expected you to do, or what they think they are paying you for. And a good manager is going to figure out pretty quick when the end result of your 1-week tasks is a two line PR that's something is fishy.

* Disclaimer: I have absolutely had the tasks the boiled down to two lines, but finding the right two lines took a week. A good manager is going to have sufficient understanding of the work to tell the difference.
I need to find a recruiter that is really hands-on with their candidates as you say though it takes effort. Most recruiters I've met just want to fill the role regardless of who it is because why would they spend time trying to improve someone's pitch when better candidates come along that already did the hard work for them.

But what I would be more interested is a talent agent model where agents represent you, the worker, unlike the recruiting model where they represent the companies hiring. However, they seem to be practically nonexistent in the field of software development.

I am seeking an individual contributor role and did not enter this career to get better at sales pitches. IC is the safer route, after all.

Let me worry about sales skills when I decide to take on the riskier path of entrepreneur or leadership roles.

An estimate is an estimate, not a quote. If the estimate is to get it done by Tuesday, and is turned out it will take 2 times longer, do you just work 16 hours a day or pay a second programmer to help to get it done by Tuesday?

If you work for HP designing printer software and make an iPhone game on the side, you are probably ok. If you are working for HP designing printer software, and Cisco designing VoIP phone software you stand to create a huge intellectual property risk for both companies as they both produce network switches. You can't reasonably demonstrate to either company that you aren't using their IP in the course of your work with the other.
