Maybe this works with managers overseeing 1 or 2 people. But any broader than that is likely to be counter productive.

Managers don’t just have 1:1s. They set direction, clear obstacles (both upcoming and here now), ensure quality work, etc. that scales somewhat linearly with team size, plus or minus depending on the individuals.

If you remove a bunch of managers making them ICs, now the remaining managers have that much more to wrangle, and stuff will get dropped.

I've been telling folks, storing everything all the time is wasteful, a better alternative is:

1. Keep the raw full data for short period of time, at most 1 month.

2. Downsample what you need for longer period of time (5-10% of the full data).

3. Aggregate your metrics on a yearly basis to save money and compute costs.

If people are always "protected" how do you deal with low performing companies?

If Zoom becomes unusable because it is crashing all the time and everyone switches to another service where do you think the money is going to come from to pay these "protected" employees? Fire the CEO, sure, but where is the money coming from for the thousands of other employees?

"While we're at 23 people today (including me), I expect 100 people in our social scene living nearby in one year. (And one day, I expect 1000 people)."

This sounds like collecting casual "facebook friends" rather than making actual human connections, practical considerations of maintaining those friendships aside: "Individuals, he says, generally have up to five people in the closest layer. The next closest layer contains an additional 10, the one beyond that an extra 35, and the final group another 100.

Bing isn't going to overtake Google any time soon. So many devices, browsers, and people default to using Google. By the time Bing starts picking up steam, Google will have copied whatever features that were setting Bing apart.
Ah, I haven't looked at it in a while, but that would make sense. I have a raspberry pi (1st gen) in a 3d printed nintendo 64 case some where around here that ran the PiPass stuff. I might dig it out and put it on display in the office now.

That article is only about the lead-generation part of Project Sunroof being shut down. Which makes a ton of sense - it was likely not generating much revenue, but managing a program like that can suck up a ton of time in managing those relationships. It's just easier to kill it and let everyone compete in search results instead.

You're correct in that the design hasn't been updated in years, but... so? From poking around in my city, everything still seems to work the same. (Though I wonder if the estimates are now out of date...)
Yes, this occurred to me as well. The counter narrative here is in fact that the story of the last 2-3 years has been break throughs in AI have come about mostly by scaling up their network sizes and training data sets 5 orders of magnitude or so.

I guess the take away however is still that regular businesses really just can't play in this game and should not be assuming they have big data until that fact asserts itself out of necessity rather than the other way around.
If I parsed that correctly, you're using JCL as an example of a technology that was kept simple and understandable. That, um, is not the way I think about JCL...
> So now there is a great conspiracy by both Apple and Google?

What conspiracy?

They have huge economic disincentives to further PWAs - there is no need for any conspiracy.

In the first presentation of the iPhone, Steve Jobs laid out a vision where the smartphone would run web apps, using fundamental web technologies (HTML, CSS, JS). He quickly backtracked when he realised Apple could impose a 30% tax on transactions in the platform.

> Maybe web technologies just aren’t as good as native?

No one said they are, but that's no excuse to drag your feet in implementing simple things like push notifications.

> In the history of computing there has never been a cross platform general purpose GUI framework that didn’t suck.

What GUI framework? I barely even know what we are talking about anymore. You don't need one with PWA - again, you're using fundamental web technologies, and enabling them to make system calls.

> Not to mention most Android devices in the wild are low end and don’t handle complex web pages well

So that's another excuse to not further PWAs, huh?

> "You were used" is a bit much.

I'd generally agree. I think my sentiment was a counter-point to the whole "we are a family", "we care about you" that companies put out to employees.

Employees especially need to understand that's fine and good, but companies exist to make money. They _can_ care about you but only to the extent that it makes them money through your continuing loyalty. Your manager as a human can care about you, your manager as a boss cannot.

I don't think many top-level managers is fooling themselves into thinking this behavior is anything but company loyalty.

I am not quite entirely jaded, but I would certainly have choice words for my 24 year old self being overjoyed about my company buying me dinner at the office. It's a fun gesture but you need to understand as an employee what your company's priorities are and not get fooled into it being anything but a monetary transaction.

But yes, to summarize, my language was a bit more coarse and pointed than the situation probably calls for.

People shouldn't underestimate Google here. I'm not a fan (not for a decade ... Reader still stings amongst many other missteps), but I'm constantly impressed by how much better their Assistant, translation and speech-to-text stuff is versus things like Siri, etc. Almost as if Google handles the larger dataset that it has access to in a much better way than the other companies. I wouldn't bet against them doing that again here.
I've seen engineers who were asked to move to EM role because they weren't strong technically to move up the ladder. They were able to move up multiple ladders in the EM track using the same technique you mentioned above (empire building).

So Bing has some sample searches. Do these seem compelling to people here?

They generally took a while to output in chat. Meanwhile the answer was often staring right at me from the preview text of the search results.

I tried the one for cars. Top result has multiple suitable cars and it had pictures.

And I know the top results are generally unlikely to be nonsense otherwise the sites would have poor engagement and they don’t rank.

ChatGPT has….something. But it isn’t obvious to me search is what it has. The existing product is already very good and fast.
Fix practically anything that instructions have been made for, unscrew here, unclip that, pull out that, replace this part; do it all backwards to put back together ... with visual overlays you're acting as a robot almost (that's good and bad).

I'm a HIIT daily person. I used to feel sore after I upped it to every day, but that only lasted ~2 months. I was at every other day of HIIT previously.

My routine is the Deck of Pain. https://www.offgridweb.com/preparation/prison-workout-routin...

TLDR: Shuffle a deck of cards. Assign a body weight exercise to each suit (hearts are sit-ups, spades are push-ups, etc). The pips indicates the number of reps, with face cards being 10 and aces being 1 (you can change this to Aces as 11, Kings as 13, etc). So, a 7 of hearts would mean 7 sit-ups. Continue through the deck until your can hear your soul dying. You can keep the jokers in and do 10 burpees or 1 of each exercise, or 10 of each. Up to you.

You're going to need to take breaks, but try ot go as fast as you can otherwise. I'm down to ~45 seconds per card on average. The hardest exercise to add in here are pull-ups, FYI. You're going to need to rest a lot if you have pull-ups as an exercise.

I also walk the dog at a pretty good pace, maybe in Zone 2 cardio. Usually takes ~30 minutes every day.

As an aside: I Hate working out. Some people report that they get a good feeling after a work out or that they have endorphins or some such thing. Fill in the blank yourself. I do not have any such good feeling after a work out. To give some bone fides, I've run marathons. I've swum miles and miles. I've biked all over many mountain ranges. I've been in combat sports, ball sports, artistic sports. I've done a lot of forms of work outs. I have never had a good feeling after a work out or some exercise was over. I just feel tired and sweaty and sticky. The Deck of Pain is the only routine I've been able stick to for any real length of time. It's just so punishing that I somehow don't care that I hate it.

Sites can serve different versions of the same page to users vs crawlers. Or it could have been updated, making the ChatGPT index out of date (which is a real problem, and something they are working on).

The number itself is not incorrect. Tesla Model Y (AWD version) does have an advertised 0-60 time of 4.8s.
Yeah. To become a D1 you need to be an M2 who successfully manages (ideally) more than one other M2, who themselves might manage M2s or M1s or a combo. So you get really large chains of people at the same level in a reporting line, all managing and trying to show that they should be D1s.

I'm not so sure. Imagine having a human assistant that's smart enough to pass the bar, get an MBA, pass medical exams, and knows how to work on your car, and is good at brainstorming, and and and...

And having that person do searches for you. Are you sure that working with this assistant wouldn't be a better user interface to the internet than the search we have today? And what if that assistant was willing to work for pennies per hour...

> Your skills only have value if you're using them.

Yes. That's true of everyone, including those that you are calling "capitalists". But that being true, and a person knowing that it's true and acting accordingly, are two very different things.

> Capitalist vs laborer is basically someone who doesn't work, but their money does vs someone who has to work.

If you think that Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai, etc., don't work, you are egregiously mistaken. They work very, very hard. They just don't work at the same things that low level tech workers do. That's because they understand, as many, if not most, low level tech workers apparently do not, that the best use of their work--their labor, the hours they put in doing whatever it is they do--is to maximize the return on their capital. So they optimize their work towards that goal. Whereas most low level tech workers don't even think in those terms--and that is why they are at the mercy of the "capitalists" who do.

(The usual economist's term for a person who doesn't work, but "lets their money work", is "rentier", and the associated behavior--getting into a position where one can have a steady reliable income without having to work--is called "rent seeking". There is certainly an element of that in the way many rich people act, but I don't think it's the primary issue in the context of this discussion.)

The real argument for those "capitalists" being overpaid is not that they don't work, but that most of the work they are doing is not actually creating wealth; it's just transferring wealth from others to themselves. But that has nothing whatever to do with them being "capitalists" instead of "laborers" and "laborers" being underpaid. It has to do with our entire system of social incentives being screwed up because for decades now we have increasingly allowed short-term viewpoints to undermine the long-term stability of our social institutions. "Class warfare" rhetoric, in fact, is one of the ways that has been done.
I think once a company hits around 2-5k office workers, the whole company can be occupied with internal processes, without delivering any value at all.
Even if you don't think that some people find value in Meta apps, Meta engineers work on all types of project, lots of them are open source (see https://opensource.fb.com) and are impactful beyond just supporting Instagram.

“More crucially, a disproportionate amount of those labelled as fraudsters had an immigration background.”

Why is that more crucial than another group being disproportionately labeled? Also, why is it so shocking that one group would be disproportionately labeled? Otherwise, randomly audit for fraud and stop pursuing an algorithm.

The focus should be on whether the algorithm is accurate.

One time I was at a company that had layoffs.

The effect on the culture was pronounced and teamwork went out the window.

Everyone was worried they were next, so they put their head down, concentrated on their own tasks and didn't help each other.

Layoffs can really destroy a company's culture, especially multiple rounds.
You act as if this behavior is unique to management. Every leveling guideline I’ve seen for any big tech company (including the one I work for) requires you to demonstrate “scope” and “impact”.
"I always encounter the exact opposite. I've never found any web application with a good UI or any web application that outperformed a native one."

Consumers disagree. Almost every application is running chromium now and they couldn't be happier that it just works. It's great on Linux too.

"The only reason the web stack is used for desktop applications is because it is a bit cheaper and less effort than writing a good - native application"

You will have to write an electron application before commenting. Native UI's cannot be universal UI's, it breaks user experience, causes more bugs and looks terrible. I want my system menu to have a system UI. I do not want my user applications to look like the system.

Times are already changed, native is dead, long live the chromium desktop.
I don't think I was claiming that. Managers should definitely be able to code. That does not mean that we don't need managers.
I mean... at the end of the day there is no union, and the rest is up to supply and demand. If there is too much supply then it doesn't matter how much knowledge we withdraw or how little we work.
Have you ever seen a serious "fork war"? Open Source may be possible to fork, but that isn't a guarantee that everything will be hunky dory after a hard fork. The drama and chaos of "we need a trustworthy fork" after a bad actor does something unsociable can be awful (especially if that bad actor remains in play). Security/safety/IP audits of past code pre-fork after a major fork has become necessary isn't free or cheap and takes resources. Drama can draw weird boundaries between project attempts and create a lot of internecine fighting among the "survivors" of the "upstream crash". There's so much sociopolitics that may be involved. Open source projects still involve a lot of people, at the end of the day, not just code. Open source applications have died in a fork war.

The situation is different from IE, but there's still a lot of similarities and open source isn't necessarily the balm it appears to be. They code may still "be there", but code still needs people to believe in it/trust it/work on it.
