Also recently submitted & on the same topic of effective innovation driving & organizational wayfinding, "Andy Grove on dynamic dialectic"[1], which nicely laid out some of the core top-down vs bottom-up struggles. It pegged bottom-up as "chaotic but smart".

Grove talks about something mentioned very early on in Alex's webpage[2] (right under the top link, to a genericized/not-Google-specific Slime Mold presentation), leadership of the gardening style (although specifically Komoroske is talking about gardening platforms). Making sure those with potential & good ideas are enabled, might be how I'd describe it.

On a personal note to me, it's amazing how much we assume - have left individual isolated groups/teams connected upwards & sometimes side-ways as the organizational structure. Leaving only higher up levels of the org structure to mediate & suss out truth, not having workers also put in their bid for how other projects should execute or where priority should be is the practice. Im fascinated by the potential of trying a more connected & aware org, where we try to spend more effort internally communicating & sharing bids for where we think we ought be placing our efforts, where we ought be redirecting or reshaping efforts.

> I got into self-help and meditation

I know it can be expensive but consider a real live therapist alongside self help resources. Talking out your problems to an actual human, who is trained to listen, can provide the quantum leap needed for resolving a whole host of personal problems.

Personally, Apples screen time limits and Downtime features have been a god send for my overwatch issues on Instagram. I have most non-work apps blocked from 7:00AM to 6:00PM and a 15 minute per day limit on Instagram. Since doing that, I feel much more engaged and efficient at work and have also managed to knock out some technical reading on the Kindle app (one of the few apps that I allow myself to use at any time).
Then I think any work of art or media inspired by past sources would fall into this category. It's a very grey line, and I haven't seen anyone or any case law put it into proper terms as of yet.
I've worked with these people "on the inside." My belief is that, yes, some of them do fake their way in and manage to hang on for a shockingly long time.

I also agree that some of them panic from the induced stress of interviewing. I try to keep my interviews very cordial, I've been there before, too, so I'm sympathetic, and I also suffer from horrible imposter syndrome, because I am a CS college dropout, despite the fact that I've had a wonderful career with dozens of major victories over the last 16+ years. I really do get it. Despite that people who cannot program find their way in front of me, interviewing for Senior+ roles.

A recent example is a Senior Software Engineer new hire (I did not interview this person) who was tasked with moving a git repository to a new upstream as part of a larger migration in the engineering org. This person proceeded to try write a sprawling bash script to handle the process in order to "preserve history."

Clearly this individual doesn't understand git at all. The script wasn't even doing anything. Their other tasks, which were application development tasks, demonstrated code that was also somewhere around an intern/associate level.

I left that role very shortly after because when I brought this to my management team it was made clear to me that what we needed was warm bodies. That person is still employed by my former employer, over 9 months later, making a 6-figure salary with an annual performance bonus and stock grants.
In other news, the sky is blue! Maybe that's a bit too harsh, it is surprising that they've dropped off the list altogether however...
> We trusted our team blindly.

What did you trust them to do?

I feel like I hear this sentiment fairly often in the context of startup mistakes, and I wonder if people simply have unrealistic expectations.

Developers write software, and they usually aren’t magicians. They can’t always turn poor instructions or bad ideas into world class software.

I’ve worked on teams where the software we were building simply wasn’t great. It would never be great without some degree of pivoting and addressing a market more appropriately with better solutions. This was never a developer’s fault, though. In fact the team could be killing in terms of getting the work done that they were asked to. Even so it often came down on the software team to do better somehow. Numbers aren’t right, we need to optimize. We need to do the thing faster. Joey spent two weeks doing X, that should never happen!

But even if Joey did X in two minutes, customers still wouldn’t be very excited. Organic growth would remain poor. Trials would not convert very well.

Some developers have a good enough sense of the bigger picture, business, marketing, their own trade, etc. and they can provide feedback and insight that’ll potentially help change course. This is rarely true or even sufficient in my experience. Developers are only one of the cogs in the software machine.

Did you team lie about their abilities? Did they falsely report hours worked? I’m really curious where your trust went and how you were let down.
What is the best setup for Safari on mac to block ads, block YouTube ads, block trackers, block cookies popups and automatically deny cookies? I like Orion but it is simply broken on many websites, especially some forms or buttons do not work sometimes, and it is not compatible with keychain and doesn't suggest passwords.
Because of this, my browser workflow is Orion for everyday browsing, for some websites I know I have to use Safari, for some I have to use Chrome, if a website doesn't work with Safari I first try Firefox and then Chrome. It seems to me like there's a room for improvement here :/

> exempt workers get paid for the job getting done, not the hours it takes

incorrect. exempt vs. non-exempt is a federal labor law term in the US.

https://www.flsa.com/coverage.html

exempt means you are exempt from the 1938 FLSA rules, which is when you earn above a certain salary or perform certain duties - manager vs. sales, etc. you are not guaranteed overtime pay (time-and-a-half, double on sundays), etc. non-exempt means subject to all the FLSA rules.

typically white color salaried jobs are exempt and hourly jobs are not but not always. due to the salary limits, there are jobs that are salaried that are non-exempt.

and salaried jobs are not always paid for getting the job done vs. hours. engineering firms (apparently accounting) and other firms that charge clients by the hour still require timekeeping by their salaried employees. mis-charging is worse than wage theft in this case it causes the firm to perpetrate fraud on the client.

many salaried firms have requirements for 40 hour minimum as well with or without timekeeping. if you're exempt you have less, not more, labor laws that apply. you can agree to a job that requires you to be in the office or online or whatever for 47 1/8 hours a week, and then if you don't do it, you can be fired just for that regardless of whether you got the job done.

the only point is to clarify that she may or may not be exempt, and may or may not have been hourly or salaried - any combination of these can still be required to work certain hours and keep time records.

> if she were on salary, it would be a different story

not really. you can still mis-charge on salary, which is extremely serious which is fraud and time-theft. and she clearly wasn't "getting the job done" either.

karma. i absolutely love this story because the company didn't even go after her for the lost time until in a genius move she sued them. it's pretty obvious she was a poor employee on a pip within less that a year of starting. and then, knowingly on a pip, still mis-charges, etc.?
It's more like email or irc. You downloaded a client, but you need a server to make your account on. Servers can come and go. If twitter or discord brings down their service, discord servers stop existing and the client stops working. If a mastodon instance stops existing, you can use the same client and connect to a different one. It's my understanding that currently your account and data will be lost in that case.
Their priority right now is the iOS client, still in beta. They'd expected to make it available in the App Store this month, though that was before Twitter blocked Tweetbot.
Private third-party GitHub repos is another good example. If licenses don't apply to training data, as GitHub has asserted, why not use those too? Do they think they'll get in trouble over it? Why doesn't the same trouble apply to my publicly-readable GPL-licensed code?
>States should mandate that time spent at a job interview must be paid proportional to the average rate of the position you are applying for. This includes take home work!

Beware of unintended consequences. One of the reasons mentioned in the article for why interviews were so long is that companies are risk adverse and don't want the risk of being saddled with a bad employee. If you mandate that interviews must be paid, the same dynamic would apply. Specifically, companies would care even more about your resume/linkedin/experience, because they don't want to waste money on marginal/inexperienced candidates.

I find this a bit less ethically questionable given that Tweetbot itself is earning monthly/annual subscription revenue from its users and then blocking ads. If Tweetbot's developer account isn't generating enough revenue to offset the ad revenue loss, this would be completely expected.
They didn't say they wanted to sell the app, just sign and distribute it. Maybe they want to put their FOSS project on the App Store, but can't until they get a "real job" first.

Well, there exists "libertaire" in French (and other languages as well I guess) as a synonym, but nowadays people would hear "libertarian".
Yeah, that's been a hard lesson for me to learn. When the nominal purpose differs greatly from the POSIWID purpose, I find it very frustrating. Very human, of course, and if that were all it was I could work with it. But at least in American business culture we musn't talk about POSIWID purposes. It'd be so much easier for me if we could just say, "Ok, grandboss, we recognize the most important thing for you here is you looking amazing to your boss so you can climb the ladder. But we'd all like to also get some work done for our users, so how can we make everybody happy?"
Extensions don't work as I can disable them too easily. Even router level restrictions are too easy for me to bypass, it takes all of a few seconds.

The only thing that has ever provided me mild success was locking my devices in my gun cabinet after a certian time of day. It was easy to get them out, but it took long enough that I could at least reconsider.

I was only able to matinain that a week or two before falling into old habbits. Inevitabily I'll have a particularly bad day at work and any progress will go out the window as I look for comfort/a distraction.
In fact the probability that Biden was dead or incapacited by now wasn't nil. So wouldn't even be right to extrapolate based on mandate terms.
Sucks for non-commercial work though. Not every app is intended to make money, but as I understand it all have to pay. 100 USD a year is quite an expensive hobby.
Those folks also believe in blowing things up and burning down government buildings. They just believe that capitalism will be sustainable in the absence of a dominant power.

> Have they actually trained Copilot on their own source? If not, why not?

People have posted illegal Windows source code leaks to GitHub. Microsoft doesn’t seem to care that much because these repos stay up for months or even years at a time without Microsoft DMCAing them-if you go looking you’ll find some right now. I think it is entirely possible, even likely, that some of those repos were included in Copilot’s training data set. So Copilot actually was trained on (some of) Microsoft’s proprietary source code, and Microsoft doesn’t seem to care.

They've been publishing TestFlight betas, 1000 at a time, maybe once a week or so for the last month or two. The batches last for less than 5 minutes before they're all snatched up. That's a positive sign for Tapbots, but also for Mastodon.
Having had a similar experience over the alps on air italia, this is why I never ever undo my belt unless I have to. The sign went on and 5 seconds later I felt myself physically leave the seat as we hit the worst turbulence I had ever felt.

Customers can only validate it if they have a choice. How does an iPhone developer validate or invalidate Apple's behavior? They're basically a hostage on Apple's platform, and the only thing keeping them there is the fact that they get paid. Apple shouldn't have the negotiating power they wield, and regulators are taking action to stop them from abusing it.
> There are no models I know of with the ability to generate an exact copy of an image from its training set

Is it "the model cannot possibly recreate an image from its training set perfectly" or is it "the model is extremely unlikely to recreate an image from its training set perfectly, but it could in theory"?

Because I am willing to bet it's the latter.

> You’re acting like the “computer” has a will of it’s own. Generating a perfect copy of an image would be a completely separate task from training a model for image generation.

Not my intent, of course I don't think computers have a will of their own. What I meant, obviously, is that it's always possible for a bad actor of a human to make the computer behave in a way that is detrimental to other humans and then justify it by saying "the computer did it, all I did is train the model".
Thanks for the support, I think he meant how someone can spare so much time in creating them.
I experienced the same thing during middle/high school. In three years I watched a fourth of a year of YouTube on my main account. I broke it by asking my dad to block youtube on the dns level and disable it using screen time on my iPhone (I still had to stop myself from using TOR and free VPNs). Ever since I have spent my free moments on HN or working on personal projects - I have learned so much. I also have friends now.

> Recent LLMs seem to model human beings well enough for it!

Human beings are bundles of emotions and feelings. Quite a lot of economic activity of humans is motivated by irrational impulses that are engendered in society and through interacting in society with other humans. More fundamentally, OP’s assertions regarding homo silicus and “implicit computational models of humans” are precisely the matter under contention. Does language fully capture human existence? Is thought truly simply a side effect of language? I am in the camp that says, no.

I don't trust those numbers. You can just go look up counterexamples. Colorado, for instance: the median home price in Aurora (a huge suburb of Denver, Colorado's largest metro) is $475k.

2 of the top 10 metros (the leaderboard is obviously NYC, LA, Chicago --- Chicago, again, where home prices are what they said they were upthread) are in Texas, where home prices are actually lower than the Illinois prices I cited. Atlanta's are under 400k.
