Just kicked off the beta launch of Flourish, a performance review/management platform that uses a radial based approach to growth frameworks instead of the traditional ladder based.
It aims to reduce the impact of bias in performance reviews and reward your individual skillset.

AoM as a publication places high value on doing things. Its general ethos says societal incentives reward abstraction while most people find more satisfaction in actually getting their hands dirty and producing something.

Would you mind emailing me your address? I've heard others say the same thing and I could never figure out what went wrong. (Email in profile)
Share your email somewhere, or send me one (cf profile). I'm working on an app which you could be interested in :)
Eh. I'm a lawyer and don't agree with a ton here.

Work for hire of copyright and IP is standard. That's what it means to work for a company: you aren't working for yourself, you're working for them. You should look closely to make sure you can do a side hustle but other than that this is a little foolish.

I also disagree that contract negotiation means all that much. Certain lawyers are assholes but other people at their company might not be.
Millions won’t.

How did you generate a logo with AI?
Same (but I use F#)!

I find .NET to be great for backends though maybe not as great for frontends (there's just better stuff out there). So I use the best tool for the job and that typically means using something else for frontend.

Right now I use SvelteKit for frontend.
Public schools need state money and will get less of it, not more, with declining student population.

The drugs and crime thing is a done deal, at least for the next generation or two. There were too many civil rights issues that artificially suppressed crime in the United States over the past 30+ years. Just look at stop and frisk in NYC -- that isn't happening again.

Consider where we are now, all of the "bad" stuff you see in regards to crime, drug use, and homelessness has occurred during one of the longest economic expansions and lowest unemployment rates in US history. The blue collar labor market never was this tight. Maybe high unemployment and a terrible economy will reduce crime, drug use, and homelessness, but that would be a surprise to any prognosticators.

When you have to pay a mortgage on a very expensive building every month, and its empty, that's a very BAD thing. To avoid bankruptcy, the only option is to lower rent to get any kind of income. If even then the income isn't enough, bankruptcy. New owner buys for much less, then rents out the space at lower rates, etc.

This is an epic crisis for the property owners of these buildings. But the big issue is that without SF being safe again, lower rents won't get people to come back - I sure won't risk my life for cheap rent downtown when its so easy to work elsewhere.
I think the bigger problem that it calls into question who we are talking to online. It's going to be a piece of cake to run our thoughts thru an AI before copying the output with a few adjustments and passing it off as our own.
Not only that, but it suffers from a persistent yet subtle liberal bias.

Interesting, I actually had an extremely similar experience, except it was when I first took ADHD medicine, and I noticed it most strongly while navigating through the city by foot. "Field of View" is a good sort of description for it though, it was like the amount of information I could passively perceive about my immediate surroundings just increased dramatically.

My question to those that are not making money or loosing money? I've been there before. How do you stay motivated to work on it?
Yes. There's a ton. Most of it is horribly tainted by correlation effects. Let's consider one of the studies you cited above, which is an observational study from the VA hospitals:

"In the population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills were associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection of 28% and 20%, respectively"

This sounds really awesome, right? Except -- you could also interpret this as "People who are following their doctor's recommendations, going to the pharmacy to fill their prescriptions, and taking them, do better". No kidding - they're probably also taking their other medications and being more generally medically careful!

This is completely consistent with the 99% of vitamin d-related results that show that it correlates with all sorts of positive outcomes.

The high quality interventional studies -- which are actually potentially able to demonstrate causality -- are generally negative. And the larger and better they are, the more likely they are to be negative. One of the largest was the CORONAVIT trial; it was, unfortunately, open-label, but it was large and randomized. (Note that you'd expect the open-label aspect to result in a stronger placebo effect, which .. well, given that they found no benefits, did not occur). https://www.bmj.com/content/378/bmj-2022-071230

The vitamin d & covid horse is pretty dead at this point, which is basically the same as the "vitamin d & x" horse for most values of X other than diseases known to be directly caused by vitamin D deficiency. Which are serious and worthy of treatment. Just don't expect vitamin D to be a miracle cure on the basis of its correlation with everything positive.
<hot water...> hehe

It's a good point though. Their advertising is like the smoking ads of yore.

I designed and built stitch-and-glue kayaks using Freehull and then Rhino to create the best 2D panel development I could at the time in the early 2000s.
Watching the 3D kayak form as I stitched the 2D flat panels together was amazing.

These Oru kayaks also have a limited fold-unfold number of cycles.
Thanks, great feedback. I'm using the same code for web and mobile apps (Expo/React Native), but mobile users have gone through the app store landing page, so I agree it makes sense to add a landing page for web users. I'm thinking of a small little pop-up on first visit, but let me know if you'd prefer something else.
Behind this thinking - an economic incentive to access knowledge and answers quicker that is inevitable - we have built a tool that verifies statements using source materials. You have to put the legwork in to upload your PDFs/web pages/videos, but once you do, you can be confident in the answers.

If it can't verify, it just won't answer/tickmark check the answers (happens 16% of the time... and ... always for maths). This is a feedback loop stopper, in the sense of only relying on your documents as the base, and being able to operate entirely without OpenAI (still though using other GPT models)

It's Fragen.co.uk - we believe that more answers formerly missed by CTRL+F will be found with this technology, than false answers taken as true. And if that's true, you are enbettering knowledge. And if not, you're enshittening it slower than the higher-hallucinating alternatives.
It sounds both somewhat difficult (the typical galaga player doesn't exactly aim carefully) and extremely tedious, both for players and for spectators. It reminds me a bit of the (possibly apocryphal) story that casinos promote tales of card counters cleaning up because the average attempted card counter doesn't know what he's doing, and will gamble more (and lose more) than someone who knows he's playing a game where the odds are against him.

On my call, the rep put me on hold for a few minutes and came back saying that they could verify I'd removed the device, even though the activation screen was showing. It may have also just them giving me a freebie since I've been paying them for well over a decade.
I'm not ready to show it off yet, but I'm working on a workout and nutrition tracking service.

No other tool or service out there matches the feature set I want so I decided I'd just build it.

My goal for workout tracking is mostly to make it crazy simple and super fast. As close to 0 barrier between you and your tracking. I want PRs to be more than just "moved a bigger amount of weight". I think volume PRs from rep records, etc are also important.

For nutrition tracking, I want the ability to save some commonly used foods to my local storage to make it faster.

I want discoverable meal planning. The plan is to basically let the user pick a protein, then a cooking style, which expands into different recipes and then side dishes to fit the remaining macros of a given individuals macro goals.

For calorie tracking, I think its important to display that weight change isnt a day by day thing. You need to look at the caloric deficit or surplus for the week or the month vs weight change to see how you are doing. Most other trackers just give you feedback day by day which doesn't really represent reality. They also don't automatically adjust your TDEE over time with weight change.

Not sure if anybody will pay for it, but I want it so I'm going to build it :)
If they knew they had a lost bag it shouldn't have been donated at all.

In no scenario does donating bags that they have misplaced make sense, should be enough data on the luggage to know who it belongs to and at least ask them to collect it or offer to post it.
Maybe optional integrations to enable or log in with credentials to those services through OsmAnd. It already has plugin support. It would be nice to at least have the option to streamline that process.
On Apple website, remove devices is not the same as remove deactivation lock.

Would be nice if airtags were built with a standard for delegating tag locations to companies as an enterprise offering.

Bag lost? Just share the tag location with a ticket-specific email generated by the booking system, and some division of luggage services at the airline has the job description of delegating the finding of the luggage based on that data.

If you can live with your maps only being updated once a month, it's a one-time payment of 25€ for the entire world. I don't think that's too expensive? You can save some euros by waiting for a sale (there's one right now in fact), or by buying just the Europe maps for example, but... I really didn't think it's too much.

On the other hand I can agree that the subscription feels more pricey, but if people make use of the hourly map updates it's probably quite justified, given the bandwidth costs.
Agreed. I added all the house numbers in my neighborhood into OSM. Now OSM and apps using OSM will take me to my home address. Before it would only find my street and take me to the midpoint.
They are super pro-union, they all have sticker "protect the water/Save the Elk River", most of them go to the farmer's market and one of them (one of the young lesbian) was documenting the opioid epidemic in WV with the help of a local journalist (who was present because he played bass pretty well i think?).

They do have some MAGA friends, "Try supporting Manchin, honestly i don't blame them", and honestly it was really enlightening.

We must have seen very different enterprise code.
Simplicity is partially in the eye of the beholder, I agree.

And there is always a subjective part about any design decisions, but overall there are better designs and worse designs.

And concerning programming language syntax, I tend to prefer a bit of verbosity over any terseness / compactness.

I prefer Java/C# style over Perl/Sed. And I think that modern system programming languages tend to drift a bit too much towards the Perl style.

Writing powerful but unreadable on-liners should be considered harmful.
Programmers tend to have a lot of free time. You'd be hard-pressed to find a hobby that isn't popular among programmers
Maybe, but there are something like 700,000 books published on average each year, and almost 2 million scientific journal articles. Let's not even consider newspaper.

Of course, some of those books will definitely be AI generated or garbage quality, and we all know many of those journal articles can be worth less than the paper they're printed on.

Yet even if we cut it down to 100,000 books and half a million scientific papers, that's a lot of training data each year... And that is just considering print media, there are other ways to get more content too.

For example, there is also transcription of video/podcasts/tv-shows/movies, etc. along with descriptions of the scenes for video, which could be used to generate a lot more stuff.

With people speaking to their devices and using text-to-speech more often, that's another source too--wouldn't be surprised if some devices just start recording conversations, and transcribing them.

Seems like a ton of potential data sources to me, although it will certainly get more difficult to cull AI generated stuff to prevent feedback, I'm sure the tooling will evolve to enable easy AI content detection and exclusion.

It's kind of amazing that we've created a world where it's plausible a lot of our jobs could become automated and this is a bad thing. We really fucked up lol.

Anyway I don't have any other economically valuable skills and I'm not willing to go back to cooking. I'd try to join a monastery if any would have me. If not I'll just be homeless again until the people who still have jobs finally work up the courage to execute those without.
That seems to be getting things backwards. How could they find it easier or more productive if they haven't even done IO yet?
Security researcher, probably. Once AI takes over any significant part of the software development field, I anticipate a lot of demand for audit, partly because the AI can't be held accountable for security breaches in any meaningful way.
Ideally or realistically?
As someone who moved from SF to suburbs elsewhere during the pandemic, I enjoy city life, but with the cost of housing there it just didn’t add up any more between reduced capacity to safely partake in the boons of a city thanks to covid and the reduced sense of safety and the stress that induces.

If it cost somewhere between a third and a fourth as much as it did when I left and that cost remained relatively static, I would’ve probably stayed, but there’s no chance that would happen in reality and so I moved.

If this were Tokyo we were speaking about rather than SF, the cost would be trivial to justify even in a remote work situation. The perks handily outweigh the downsides. I don’t mind paying but the quality of the experience needs to meet a certain bar for the price to make sense.
This. You always have the power to change the proposed contract to suit your needs, and let them balk if they don't like it. This assumes it's a contract you can actually edit (whether on the computer or mark up with pen); for non-editable things (e.g. DocuSign contracts), I'm not sure what you'd do if you can't print it out pre-signing.
Have any major platforms failed due lax moderation policies?

Yes, that's why you haven't heard of them.

They fail before they get big enough to be popular.

File sharing platforms - defined broadly enough to include Youtube - will attract adversaries with asymmetric incentives.

It will be easy for people trying to upload illegal content to upload illegal content to the degree you make it easy for people to upload content. [1]

When your file sharing server starts serving child-pornography - and it will - law enforcement will contact you and your best option will be shutting down.

You will never get to the point where radicalization videos are the problem.

Depression is social hopelessness.

You don't feel like you have a community that can help you achieve your goals, or even set goals that are attainable that will put you in the social role that you think you should be filling.

Now, certain people (me) have behavioral contributors from childhood like massive trauma that makes it easier to feel low self worth. I would argue everyone has some trauma, but those with big trauma deal with it chronically.
Yeah, 'millions' to a company with 8 autonomous submarines each equipped with long-range sonar is probably not much at all. The crew is probably paid anyway, might as well use them for something.

It's more complicated than that. They have regulations but they work differently. The Basic Law for Land regulates against speculation and profiteering off of rises in land values (which are arguably the most capitalist bits of western housing markets!) and specifically privileges public use over private interests as well as other "keeping with the surroundings" style provisions which are familiar in the UK/Europe as well.

So I'd argue it's more of a social market than a free market as such. Although I can see how you'd consider it more of a free market than in the US with its zealous zoning rules.
Were they right, though? I am pretty sure I've seen research that compared the scope and accuracy of both and wikipedia was miles ahead.
Passenger jets travel about 500 miles an hour or faster.

Bullet trains (which we don't even have in the US) are around 100-200mph at best.

That's still a huge difference unfortunately, especially going 2500+ miles across the entire country.

Examples: anything that's political.

Let's take for example the article about Patrisse Cullors (of BLM fame). A video surfaced of her saying "I am a trained Marxist". If you look at the archives[1], many people wanted to include this. But it was rejected with such ridiculous arguments as: "it is entirely unclear what a 'trained Marxist' actually means [...] She doesn't say anything like 'I am a Marxist' "

I used DALL·E 2. I've had better success with it over Stable Diffusion. Prompt was something like "Create a vector logo for a woodworking site with a handplane and the words Burn Box Woodworking" For some reason it can never get the text correct, but it gave my a good enough logo to clean up in Photoshop.
Is there any evidence of this? The article states the couple was compensated for 25% of the value of the luggage, whereas the passenger's bill of rights seems to say that the airline is liable for the full value of the lost luggage, up to a limit. Further, the article states that the terms of the compensation made no mention of this being a transfer of ownership to the airline.

What's the basis for asserting it was lost baggage compensation?
> ChatGPT is more of an existential threat because it will propagate to infect other knowledge bases. Luke Wikipedia relies on "published" facts as an authority, but ChatGPT output is going to wind up as a source one way or another. And worse, then ChatGPT will digest its own excrement, worsening its own results further.

This is what people do collectively, long before any GPTs were in sight. Lots of strong convictions people hold today and publish all over the place, are re-processed excrements of long-gone mental viruses of past civilizations.

There most certainly are more hypotheses to discuss. I picked the two which came immediately to mind and passed my personal “plausible enough” check.

> then if they need cash they could just take a loan against the stock.

When companies buy back stock, they typically cancel it. That's why the price goes up so much of the remaining stock held by shareholders.

So they wouldn't be able to "just take a loan against the stock". It no longer existed. All they'd be able to do is to ask ask their investers for more money.
