Maybe it's because I'm the kind of guy who took the "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" comic to heart, but I don't assume truth about any type of online profile, and I usually don't go cyber stalking anyone just because their online handle sounds mysterious.

Picking a new identity might be a good branding decision (especially if you can get NewName dot com!), but I'm also the kind of guy who looks at the message, not the messenger, so whether I focus on what you're saying or not has nothing to do with the online persona you've created for yourself.

I think I'll point to this as one of the examples of how AWS has been scrappy and successful. (Yes, I'll get like 10 flames on this comment.) They made this nice simple API for S3 that has become a de facto standard. They added lots of features and security controls, and I can easily imagine an architect saying "everyone should just adopt S3, it's so easy!" But huge, paying customers were used to tape libraries so they said, damnit, fine we'll pretend to be a tape library even though that is super weird on some level... Meeting users where they are can be a superpower.
There’s a very small chance you are going to time the bottom. The only way to time the bottom is to keep buying by dollar cost averaging. For most of us, that’s probably the wisest course vs. actively moving money around and trying to time the market.
That’s the view of someone who is lucky to have many choices. Many people, in fact I suspect most people, pretty much have to accept what they’re offered because they don’t really have other choices.

For some of the people in these layoffs it will be accurate to say they could have made different choices, and for others it won’t be.

> I can very simply verify the answers are good with my FAA Pilot Handbook

Thank you for agreeing with my point.

If you need to check the answers with your FAA Pilot Handbook, wouldn't it be simpler just to read the FAA Pilot Handbook? That handbook, unlike the text generated by ChatGPT, was written by a process that was aware of the semantic relationship between the text being written and the things in the world that the text was referring to. That is what makes the FAA Pilot Handbook a reliable source of information about flying. ChatGPT is not any such process. That's why it is not a reliable source of information--as you agree, since you need to check what it says about flying with the FAA Pilot Handbook.
> These cards are accepted by society because they benefit those who know how to use them, but it's hard to look past the fact that so many people, if not most, are financially illiterate (because of failings of education due to lack of funding) and so many people screw themselves financially for decades if not their whole lives because of them.

I went through the U.S. education system in 8 different states in schools in poorer areas, and even then, the education was sufficient to understand the concept of not spending money you do not have.

Set the thing to auto pay the balance every month, and do not spend more than you earn. I expect that much from the 95% of the population that has had the opportunity to learn how to read and write.
> Yes, yes, the sky is falling

I agree that we shouldn't buy into the media's perpetual gloom & doom machine but I also caution against the knee-jerk contrarian "everything is fine" impulse.

The percentage rate of change is often the best signal in these kinds of indicators. We're around 20% YoY. The last two years (2004 & 2008) we hit that kind of level weren't strong economies.

The Dec '22 FOMC Minutes also hinted that the FOMC is also watching credit card levels. Interest rates have exploded higher yet consumers are increasing their credit card debt.
I doubt that. Visa and MasterCard make most of their money via seller transaction fees, not credit card debt payments.

If anything, we should limit seller transaction fees, as I believe the EU does.
I think you give Dart too little credit. Consider the other popular languages of today - Python, JavaScript, C++. Dart is far nicer than those. I'd say it is nicer than Go too.

I'm not sure what you mean about boilerplate. The way you create UIs in Dart is one of the main draws of Flutter. Would you rather Android's XML? Or QWidget?

The language design is not an issue with Flutter. Flutter's issues are mainly ecosystem size and performance.

Would a generative model that can output both text and images of thinking brain scans be more convincing? I’m not saying you are incorrect, just pointing out that we’re not exactly sure what we are looking at in those brain scans anyway. Is a thought a mathematical calculation being run on a wet computer? What does the scan of an inferencing GPU reveal about the model architecture it is running?

And then again, maybe math is not all you need. Unknown unknowns, possibly unknowable.
Right. Part of the ego boost of the title.

It's fun to hate popular things, and it's fun to think about how you would do it better if you could do it from scratch, but these things persist because users deem the cost of switching to outweigh the benefits.

Trying to time the bottom of the market is basically gambling. You might get lucky or you might miss out on huge gains while the market continues to run.

Your argument would make sense if iOS had like a 90% market share. Then sure, maybe the deal is that only weirdos who don't care about this objectively important thing are on Android.

But the fact is, Android has plenty of market share. Even if half of Android users are weirdos who don't care about this objectively important thing (with the rest of the normal people migrating to iOS), it would still have positive ROI to build this objectively important thing for the people who care about this objectively important thing, but are on Android for whatever other reasons.

The way to square this circle is say, "Actually, it turns out that this thing isn't objectively important. Maybe a small population cares about it a lot, but most don't."

Which is, in fact, what I've been saying.

This has the benefit of also squaring with the rest of the evidence.

> People who could machine very small cogwheels precisely enough used to be rare

I don't think an analogy that compares the manufacture of machinery with the creation of artwork is a good one. I understand the similarity you're teasing at, but I think this is a category error.

> Brushes, canvas and pigments can be used to produce non-derivative works as well.

None of these tools require the original artwork of other artists to function. They are primitive tools, and I don't think it's reasonable to include them in the same category as an AI that was explicitly trained for a particular purpose.

> We don't blame the car when bankrobbers use it as a getaway vehicle.

We might blame the car manufacturer though if the car was autonomous and had been trained on a dataset of all drivers and driving styles, and had "learned" to be a getaway car, replete with situational awareness of a typical robbery scene, knowledge of how to avoid cops, etc.

Why do you think multimodal transformers will get us anywhere near general purpose AI? Multimodal transformers are basically a technology for sequence-to-sequence intelligent mappings and it seems to me extremely unlikely that general intelligence is one or more specific sequence-to-sequence mappings. Many specific purpose problems are sequence-to-sequence but these tend to be specialized functionalities operating in one or more specific domains.

>all diets fail after six months on average; ppl regain even more weight

This is not true and is also potentially harmful if people believe it. In reality, weight regain after "cutting" occurs over a period of years and tends to be around 50%; that is, less than the amount of weight lost in the first place. Several meta-analyses have been conducted, e.g.:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240545772...

It's also worth noting that adults under 60 tend to gain weight over time on average, so the actual effect of the intervention versus no intervention may be underestimated by simply treating the baseline as a constant. Losing ten pounds may seem small, but losing ten pounds instead of gaining ten pounds is more significant.

I'd love to see this controlled for shareholder dividends and stock buybacks. A big trend we're seeing in this round of layoffs is companies doing a lot of service for their shareholders, some posting record profits, and sacking fractions of their workforce. It doesn't tell a story of sacrifices made due to financial trouble, it looks like nothing but ruthless profiteering and class warfare.
It may be a firefox specific bug, as when I switched to chrome it worked well consistently. Maybe a network error due to origin policies?
> What would happen is there would be no credit cards for anyone. Nobody is going to lend money to the general public at 5% for unsecured debt.

Credit cards are a single product that serve a lot of different use cases simultaneously, and credit card issuers are able to profit off of most of those through different mechanisms. Not everyone carries a balance on credit cards, including some of the most lucrative market segments[0].

Furthermore, BNPL is an example of lending money to the general public at 5% (or less, in many cases) for unsecured debt. In that case they make their money back on fees for late payments.

Tip: Amazon Games pays above game industry standard, hires for Unreal skill, and has options for good work/life balance. (Like any large company, it can depend on the particular game team. Moving to other teams is generally supported, if the needs and skills match up.) And answering one of the other sibling replies: if you apply for one of the games reqs, you'll be interviewed by members of the game team that posted the req. If it's a C++ role, you'll be interviewed by someone who uses C++ on the job.

You will benefit from doing your interview homework first. Make sure you know the Amazon Leadership Principles by heart, try to have 2-3 solid examples at the ready of how you exemplified each one (some matter more than others), and be comfortable solving little programming challenges (I'm sure it's happened but I've never seen some of these Google-esque obscure tree challenges get asked). Lots of good Amazon interview material out there, I recommend reviewing it. Also, I hear some recruiters can help you prep.

Was once a senior engineer at a small-ish office of a fairly large company. We had a particularly high-strung junior engineer that was prone to throwing fits if he didn't get his way.

Apparently, one day, he threatened to quit for another offer. He was placated with some trivial pay increase and promotion to lead engineer (essentially leap-frogging the other seniors in the office in title - but not in pay).

Except no announcement was made; I had no idea he'd been promoted. One day he walks into my office and starts telling me I need to redesign some module using XYZ Design pattern.

"Nope, don't think so - that would be a pointless and unnecessary complication and we have a release on Friday."

"No, you need to do it. I already talked to the Engineering Manager."

I can't remember exactly what I said next, but it wasn't very nice.*

Then I'm getting called into the Engineering Manager's office: "Can you just do the thing he asked you to do, please? I know, I know... we kinda have to humor him on this."

* - of course I remember what I said, and it definitely wasn't nice.
Exactly this. Bleeding small numbers of people is absolutely terrible for morale. Everyone will be wondering whether it's their turn this week, and that will 100% have knock-on effects. If you have to do a layoff, your goal should be to make it deep enough to only do it once and allow the healing process to start.

If your goal is to avoid layoffs, the solution is to build a war chest with months or even years of runway. If you hit hard times, freeze hiring and attrition will help some as you burn through that runway. (But also be careful of piling on the same workload to fewer and fewer people!)

This is not true! Both the protocol and the implementation allow for significant separation of server permissions (for example, notice the difference between ssh -X and ssh -Y), and the peer-to-peer nature of things like clipboard means it is quite easy to deny requests on an application level if they're written for it.
C++ puts you don't pay for [at runtime!] what you don't use above all use. However that often means you have to know the arcanum bits to decide if need to pay for something. You can save a bit of CPU time if you don't check if a pointer is null - which is a great thing to do if you have knowledge that the pointer cannot be null - and also something that is very easy to screw up so most languages don't give you the option. (which is the right thing for them to do - a lot of people are writing C++ where they could write something else)
