I've seen people do a study like that the right way. It works by having separate researchers invent categories independently and then compare them once they have classified everything. No talking about the project is allowed until everybody is done.

Nope. Just a blatant copyright violation.

(They even copied the copyright notice. That's cheeky.)
It seemed to me that you were proposing that (1) we as individuals do more and also (2) we as a society should do more.

Maybe we fundamentally agree, but I was pointing out that society IS the individuals. doing (1) is how you do (2).

Maybe this is pedantic or my own bias, but I think it is important to keep in mind. Some people use "society" as a substitute for "other people but not me".

When some people talk about changing social norms, they mean forcing other people to act opposed to leading by example.

At the end of the day, I think I agree with you that we do live in a sick society. The best remedy is to cure the sickness in ourselves.

I've just quit Amazon Prime, and Paramount+. I realized I'm not getting anywhere near the value I am paying for as the free accounts now almost always have free shipping anyway, so the expedited shipping doesn't really hold any value for me.

Paramount+ was just because I had it on my prime account, and haven't used it in months.
Ha, I wish there was a way we could split the labor on that. You do the learning, somehow transfer that to me and I do the bug fixing. I love fixing up a legacy system but don't enjoy the first few weeks of feeling unproductive. That has more to do with the pressure to get things done than the actual exploration.
Most of this makes sense, but ends up not being followed for non-technical reasons like the person's confidence, etc.

I'd say, just know two things:

1. (From the post) "Let your instincts guide you if you think something feels much more difficult than you’d expect", and talk to your team about it, and change it for them.

2. There is a LOT of dead (unreachable / redundant) code in any enterprise codebase. Especially recently launched flag that haven't been "cleaned up yet". Just start cleaning this stuff up. Even the very obvious stuff gets you very well introduced to the codebase.

Where I disagree with the post:

> Taking notes is non-negotiable for me, not strictly as a memory aid, but as a means to communicate findings and verify them later.

If you need to take a 2 line note, you're better off having written a 2 line code review. Even something simple like "metric.add("DOES_THIS_HAPPEN?", 1);" can be done with 0 confidence / testing or with minimal-confidence / minimal-testing you could instead write "Preconditions.checkState(..., "Will this be caught by our integration tests?");". The best notes are the ones that get pushed to production to validate assumptions.
There's an intentionality or exclusive focus aspect to 3D content. When you're working in a 2D desktop alt tabbing or rapidly task switching between monitors feels very low friction and natural. When you load up a game, a CAD app, etc, there's much more of a "ok I'm just going to do only this now" aspect that I think is interesting. For this reason I'm highly skeptical 3D will replace 2D.
And thus my take on this...

The model behind Stable Diffusion (or Dall-E) is not infringing itself. It has the latent images it, but there is nothing that you can point to that says "that number there is infringing."

It takes a human action to pull together the parts of the model and select what is right and craft the prompt. Asking for "a picture of Mickey Mouse in the style of Pixar" is all sorts of infringing - by the person asking for that.

By itself, that image isn't a problem any more than the doodle in my notebook is. The question is what the human does with the image. If they publish it or try to sell it - yes, that's a problem. If they hang it in their kids room, yes, its infringing but unless you invite a Disney lawyer over for a play date no one is going to care (this also applies to if you drew it yourself rather than instructing a program to generate it).

My (I am not a lawyer) take is that the model isn't infringing. Use of the model may be infringing, and issues of infringements should be taken up with the human who created and published it them just as if it was done by a painter drawing heavy inspiration from a style or a photographer with a photograph of the Eiffel Tower at night.
The Privacy Commissioner has published a pretty extensive report

https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-actions-and-decisions/investig...

Basically boils down to Home Depot didn't get proper consent before sharing personal information with Facebook. They have been asked very politely to not do that anymore.

Canadian privacy law is very odd. It was one of the earliest such laws (pre-dates GDPR by 10+ years) and it's very comprehensive, but it has almost no teeth. The privacy commissioner has broad power to investigate information handling by private companies but then isn't able to do much beyond recommend changes. I think the maximum penalty is around $100,000, which might as well be 0.
I like the section on Document and verify.

Particularly in startup situations without processes (i.e. formal product requirements documentation, SW architecture descriptions), the codebase can be largely undocumented.

As a new member of the team, it can be beneficial to start generating this documentation to:

- buy more time to review the code as having some sort of work product output assures management that you are indeed still coming up to speed on the code versus playing video games

- is actual beneficial to the team especially as it grows as likely new additions to the team will need onboarding documentation
You know what I really want for collaborating on projects and such right now? Google Wave (but obviously executed better than it was back in 2009).

Better yet: knowledge that was paid for by tax payers should be available to tax payers.

The journal business model is astounding: they charge a lot to publish, a lot to read what they publish, they do not pay reviewers, editors, or authors, and then get to claim ownership of what was published.

It's not enough for legislation to be "you must have some bs pseudo-open-access document", it should be "no employee of a publicly funded institution shall undertake unpaid labour for a journal, the journal must pay a minimum of 50% of proceeds to the author/institution, etc".

Why do we need editors for scientific journals? They are an unnecessary gatekeeper, people can read a paper and decide for themselves. The peer review process is independent of the editors. And the system of gatekeepers is what has helped push the publish or perish aspects of academia.

Yes it would be great. But this is kind of like saying people who have a pattern for making quilts should use their techniques to get into the sheet business. On the surface it makes sense, but when you dig into the details it turns out that the way you make quilts and the way you make sheets are so fundamentally different it’s not even worth exploring a common ground. Yes we both make things that go on peoples beds, but the manufacturing internals are so completely different that it’s not even worth having the conversation about how they could be married.
Are you also of the opinion that copyright shouldn't exist?

If not, how do you reconcile this belief with the right of scientists and publishers to sell their productive labor?
I dumped iCloud when I got a 365 subscription and that came with OneDrive which I find to be far better, and far faster when I need to download a whole bunch of files en masse (as I use On-demand for all my files now).
I use it for quick table to code codegen often. But it wasnt about you personally just the comment’s people make about it. With onedrive people do get a sort of versioning, albeit very crude, too. But your right, the practices are bad and part of it is people are not having conversations about best practices. Also, the cost of development being what it is and people’s incentives, Excel fits into that just get it done and deal with it later spot. I know in my org it was a minimum of 50k to get a dev shop, internal, to do a project. This was years ago too. Too many big fish for them to work on. So the small groups went with what they could use. Also, it is on all machines.
For many years at an old gig it was either a) almost zero docs or b) meager docs in the form of Slack archives. A terrible situation no matter the choice of A or B, but we chose B and at the end of the day we had something to show. Did it prolong our dysfunction? Hard to say. When I left the culture was shifting a bit towards expecting slack convos to be rewritten as formal documentation after the immediate question is resolved, which is much better. If nothing else it lit a fire under me to improve my technical writing. Seeing someone use your doc to breeze through a challenge is a special feeling. A good manager will notice that.

By analogy, chat tools are the coal-fired plant to more formal documentation's solar. Coal is comparatively easy and will get you bootstrapped, but it will wreck your environment. Use it to get to solar and things will be OK.

I completely agree with their mission statement, and I wish there was a way to help accelerate what they are doing, how could we make multiple copies of this site so that it can never get stamped out? One problem I constantly have is that the domain gets blocked, and so I have to switch to a new domain to access the site. If we can make this resistant to any type of censorship, that would be amazing and I feel like would be an amazing way to contribute. Is there a closing software specifically made for this. It’s not really possible to clone the site without the authors help and she has stated she purposely doesn’t share the code so that the software can’t get hacked.
Yeah, but penalizing people based on metadata or keyword lists is incredibly easy. Compare that to trying to figure out which recipe site is keyword stuffing vs which happens to have a story by someone who really did journey to Tuscany to learn the perfect cacciucco recipe.

Sometimes I've fantasized about Google having human editorial that would evaluate these content farms as they grow and make the nuanced decisions of which to derank. But then, if they really did that, they'd get sued or regulated pretty quickly.

I feel weird arguing for Google's side since I actually do have a lot of criticisms and generally dislike Google search. I just think this content farm issue looks very thorny; humans are built to deceive each other and at some point of sophistication that gets very difficult to control.

The publishers are not paying scientists for their labor. That's the problem. They are gatekeeping middle-leeches, impeding humanity's progress by paywalling science.
It doesn't really matter either way because it's all Amazon. Amazon attracts scammers. People are tired of it.
Somewhat tangential, but can't help sharing: It's counter-intuitive, but you should feel good ordering things with same-day delivery, even if you don't need it and it "feels" wasteful. Energy-intensity of delivery basically boils down to "did it go on an airplane?". If so, it has a ton of emissions associated with it. If not, it doesn't. And (of course) the less distance the item has to travel, the less emissions. If it can be delivered same-day, then it's not going on an airplane, and it's not traveling very far.

1. Scientists usually don't see a dime of the money publishers make selling access to their research;

2. In many cases, publicly funded research is gated behind paywalls;

3. In many (most?) cases, peer reviewer are paid nothing or close to it.

4. Most researchers I know either use sci-hub, other so called illegal sources for papers, or ask the authors for a copy.

Odd straw man, but I guess I’ll tilt at it a bit.

I don’t understand copyright existing beyond a few years after publication, and I don’t understand how a “right” to a work can be sold. It seems to be a system designed to facilitate wealth extraction rather than value creation.

I can see how it can cause some anxiety. I suppose I was lucky that it didn't for me. The first two nights I work up in the middle a couple times, decently alert, and could tell my body was trying to say something might be wrong. I was able to fall asleep quickly though, which also was something I wasn't able to do before.

If you might have that anxiety, I'd say try putting tape on your mouth during the day at times to get used to it, and you might find you'll forget about it and that can ease the worry. It might be difficult, but we all can breathe only through our noses, even if that requires some practice and reassurance.

I remember as late as 2010 or so watching a documentary on Temple Garandin back when I thought of autism as a serious impairment being kind of fascinated how successful she was despite the condition. Then the phrase “on the spectrum” came out and half of silicon valley claims to have it, as if not being super outgoing or occasionally awkward makes one neurodivergent. I even kicked around the idea I might have it as I enjoy building circuit boards and am not great at certain types of emoting, but have zero sensory issues so am probably just normal nerdy.
The idea of that exercise is to see how "confident" the AI is in giving you a correct-sounding answer for something it can not have any knowledge of because you just made it up - and to realize that it's doing the very same thing with any other topic unless its statistical models happen to nudge it into using memorized facts to increase the likelihood of sounding correct.

I think it gives you more insight into what GPT actually is than just seeing it being wrong about something you're knowledgeable in (which shouldn't really be surprising).

The journey is all of your life. I believe you should aim for an enjoyable journey [of life], not to be confused with short term journeys and destinations.

In your example, if studying and acing your exam gives you more happiness in the long run (despite less happiness in the short term), it's worth it to suffer a bit now and study. If acing your exam doesn't give you more happiness in the long run, then compare it against the happiness you get if you don't ace it, and make a decision.
This is group culture dependent. For us, people popped in and out as needed. We cheered when someone said "I need a slack break" and signed out for a day, and were glad when we saw people clean up their channels because we knew they'd be able to get more actual work done. We got there because people just decided to purge one day, despite maybe looking bad. This normalized the behavior over time. It's just like walking out of a meeting saying "y'all got this, I'm not going to be of help". It can seem rude to some, but it can also seem rude to stick around just to for looks.
