The investment into training isn't merely money and can't usually be neatly calculated. It's usually paid in the form of time, motivation, distraction and lost opportunities by more senior staff. If you, personally, sink a year into training someone intensively, and then they leave, would you perceive it as merely lost opportunity costs? Probably not. Mentors and mentees are supposed to have a more than purely transactional relationship in most understandings.

As to why not just pay more, probably the reason you were trying to train someone to begin with is because you can't afford to pay the higher wages to just poach the most experienced people? Otherwise why not just pay the higher wages to start with and skip the risky and slow training? Also, the software world has the unique problem that everyone is competing against VC backed startups that are willing to spend more up front to minimize time to market, so these firms generally don't train but can afford to poach anyone who is trained at a perhaps unsustainably high salary.
On recent iPhones Apple has added "ProRAW" which retains a lot of the magic processing without losing the ability to make a lot of adjustments you'd do on RAW photos like white balance correction.

Perhaps it is a supply of cheap labor problem that Covid shutdowns allowed a sufficient disruption to low paying labor markets to cause a “phase change”.

Even before Covid, labor prices were trending up (maybe since birthrates have been dramatically falling for a long time), but the sudden, rapid shake up gave people en masse time and excuse to change things up for themselves, causing a chain reaction from the lowest paid labor being harder to fill.

In a culture that values doing what's best for the people as a whole, I can imagine people seeing it as a duty rather than in infringment of their individual rights.

I don't agree with the parent commenter, but wasn't Captain Marvel originally male? The female character of Captain Marvel in the movies was known as Ms. Marvel in the comics (until 2012): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Danvers.

Similar story with Spider-man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Morales. There hadn't been an African-american spider-man until 2011.

They do not riot, because they, too, understand, that the capacity of hospitals is quite low comparable to the density of people.

The other points:
You can't just leave the country without being a foreigner. Chinese people need a Visa for the countries they want to enter.

The social score / if you participate in riots, you for sure will get identified.

The fear being hurt.

No other possibility, because the Chinese officials are really hard in that terms and they don't care if one get hurt.

No other possibility, because the doors are locked by the officials. No one can go to riot.

They use an app to track one's location and track whether one's in "red area". If so, you lose. Everyone have this app. Without app you can't even buy things on the market.

And of course, the CCP. They have a high membership rate. You can't do some jobs like teacher/professor without being a CCP member. So, they're full on the line of party, because they really believe in that. My exgirlfriend entered the party on her 18th, because her father was a doctor at a military hospital.
Being a non member gives you some disadvantages in some parts of live (indirectly, but there are some).

So, you have to speak the language (me do) and have to have lived there for a while (me did) to understand why they're doing it and why they're is not much withstanding of the people.

One of my girlfriends (haha) just arrived two weeks ago in europe. She says it's crazy over there. No end of the 0-covid in sight... Her flight was cancelled 8h before flight because of lockdown of the airport. She had to rebuy the tickets, go to Shanghai and start off there.. But she does not criticize or get angry when talking about this. Her family is still there. She is just happy to be in Europe, because of me and main purpose studying - not because of the measures.

But, yes. It's crazy.

The issue is that a company that (all else equal) doesn't spend on training has more budget for salaries. Employees who already have skills generally value salary over additional training.

> With the caveat of "Strong opinions, weakly held", my personal take is that creating artificial scarcity is inherently immoral and thus copyright itself is immoral. Training AI on someone's non-private work is then completely fine IMO.

Why do you hold that opinion? There's a few very clear benefits to creating artificial scarcity, mostly around incentivizing creation (and sharing!) of innovations.

If we can't create artificial scarcity around ideas, then ideas are in a sense less monetizable than, e.g., creating a piece of furniture. But this is just an accident of the way the world works - I can physically prevent you from taking a chair that I made, but I can't prevent you from taking an idea I had. Why does it make sense that the world works this way? Isn't it a whole lot better to encourage innovation, vs. encouraging more people to make physical objects, just because those are inherently scarce?

(The other side is that innovations also have the great property that copying them isn't depriving anyone else of use of the original idea, but that's a side issue to the encouraging innovation one, IMO.)

Another recent Elixir / BEAM convert here. I have touched on a few languages in recent years (Scala, Haskell, Rust) and Elixir is the first that has really got to sit up and take notice. Coming from pretty strict OOP I have found it quite hard, but ultimately it has really got me to sit up and take notice. Id also like to mention Gleam[1] which is a type-safe language running on the BEAM. It's equally friendly and enjoyable to use. The community has also been very welcoming. Also recommend the Thinking Elixir podcast[2} which is a joy to listen to (I am about 25 episodes in so far)

200 km/h is the top speed. You slow down after reaching it due to weaker gravity and increased air pressure.
I appreciate the perspective.

Maybe it's just something about being an American, but even while I was in the Army I had a "fuck you" attitude about most everything that the brass (i.e. the leadership, if "brass" doesn't translate) made us do. Now that I'm a "civilian" again I still retain this attitude. A lot of important business leaders do too. I'm not really sure if this is a feature of American culture or not, but it's certainly a truism that has existed for a loooooong time.
What If Your Day-to-Day Devices Were Alive?
It is definitely what I need, and I don’t think I am alone. Phone calls are such a minor functionality of these devices. If we do that, that will be the death of the phone as quite a lot of people won’t bother carrying a second device, or give up on their pocket computer.

Is it really true that at -150m depth that the air pressure would be 20 atmospheres? It doesn't seem like it is likely, the air pressure at +150m is scarcely different from sea level.
Not to make this personal but too me this deterioration started when Giannandrea (circa 2016?) was put in charge of Search at Google and they let the AI/ML engineers run loose on what was a technically sound product.

The disappointing thing is that the current product is probably a better fit for 90% of non technical users and will likely make google more money, it just has become useless as a technical query crawler.

Personally I use ddg at home and Kagi for technical work. The only Google search product I still use is 'Google Shopping' as a great proxy to find local shops with online delivery.
Sending your command history automatically over the network is always an huge security risk. This tool atleast have a security section in the readme, but nothing about operational security and how to guard against hacks of one synced agent.

I will try it because the history tool looks like an interesting take, but the security model is not ok for multi computer use.

Also I am doubtful that at 0.15 km, ie 150 meters air pressure is 20 atmospheres. Very many mines are deeper than that.

Actually both are references to a very old game (Castlevania), which contained the mythical Goat Teleporter. It became a sort of internal Google meme/in-joke used whenever you needed some arbitrary object in an example. Goat teleporters show up in a few places in Google-external material, not just Chrome and Android. I recall them being occasionally mentioned when I worked there too, though it's been many years and I forget exactly how it got started.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/196885-castlevania-symphony...

If you search for it you'll find all the references are by Google except one or two (which are probably ex-googlers repeating the meme):

As YouTubers and modern influencers start acquiring enough capital to do what Linus Tech Tips is doing, the old web only review sites that rely search based traffic are dead IMO.

The personal reputations of celebrity level influencers are the new trusted brands. If some of them get a foothold and don’t screw it up there’s an insane opportunity to oust major legacy brands from some markets. Everyone has sold out their brands for short term profits and we all know it.
Fair enough. There will also be the option to export your data to markdown files.

Americans riot because their protected right to riot is so inculcated in them since birth that they do not really even think that it's a matter of perspective.
I'm honestly really, really confused about what the CCP wants or thinks the end game of this policy will be.

It's patently obviously with Covid quickly becoming or already endemic in the rest of the world that these outbreaks will continue, and likely grow, in China. So are they using this policy just as a tool to show the control they have? At some point of there is enough damage to the economy and damage to individuals that it only increases the likelihood of large scale social unrest.
What is shocking is the lack of communication from their side.
Individualism versus collective good seems to be mostly a false dichotomy.

I can also see those people struggling to understand the American style of fierce individualism that creates so much pain and interpersonal conflict for seemingly little gain.

Fierce individualism in some aspect, maybe. But don't forget that the state is extremely powerful in enforcing and reinforcing certain patterns of living.
I’d like to see a reckoning that takes the rotation of the earth into account, seeing what differences come of different terminal points (pole, equator, &c.).

Right, but underneath your premise is a scam, right?

A NN has not learnt to paint: it doesn't coordinate its sensory-motor system with its environment through play, it hasn't developed any taste, it does not discern the aesthetic good from the bad, it has no judgement, and so on ad infinitum.

A NN is just a kNN with an extra compression step. The way all gradient based "learners" work is to compute distances to pregiven training data. In the case of kNN that data is used exactly, in NN its compressed.

There is no intelligence here, there is no learning: it's a trick. It turns out that interpolating a point between prior examples can often look novel and often fool a human observer.

This is largely due to how incredibly tolerant to flaws we are in the cases where NNs are used to perform this trick. We go to great lengths to impart intention, fix communicative flaws, etc. and this is exploited by "AI" to make simple crap seem great by having the observer fill-in the details, perceptually. I see it as a kind of proto-schizophrenia that all people have which usually works if we're dealing with a human, but on everything else produces religions.

In any case, a NN is just a case of a kNN -- which is capable of fooling people exactly the same way, and clearly violates copyright and is a case of theft of intellectual work to make a product you can sell. Adding compression seems irrelevant.

> Twitter has no real "content creators", YouTube does.

I don’t understand the logic. They can be both well known outside of Twitter and create content. Sure, that is not their source of income, but it is harder to monetise a Twitter account, so that’s more or less by design. From the point of view of random people there is not really any functional difference.
Sooner or later platforms will filter purely AI generated content as it collides with IP rules or bore the hell out of people.
I feel like we know about all-cause mortality and CE/MFS relabeled long COVID rising in anyone who had COVID, but just choose not to care.

> It's heated and less philosophical because many artists are worried about their livelihood while a multi-billion dollar company is working towards making them obsolete often using their own work.

The idea is you collect stuff that you can kinda forget about over time. When you add something new that is related to content you have already added, a link is automatically created which resurfaces the content from the past helping you draw connections that you may have not seen yourself.
