I see this technology becoming more of a 'content provider' rather than strictly an internet search engine. In the last few days, I have gone to Google to get answers to programming questions, do an image search for a quick pic for a presentation in addition to the usual type of internet queries. The results mostly led me to go on to another site to get the actual data, but more and more of it will be pulled into the initial page. Google has done this for years and this tech will just allow for more of it. Why visit a joke site for some quick one-liners, if the 'search engine' can just generate you 20 good-enough jokes specific to your needs?

I could imagine the interface being similar to what we have today, but with it being much better at taking in full descriptions of what you want. If you want pictures of teddy bears, it could provide search results and AI generated ones. If you want programming answers, it could link to StackOverflow or just give you an AI generated answer with an explanation. Perhaps I am looking for a lively bit of free music to add to an indie game - it could generate that too.

I feel that this will eventually end search as we know it, but it will hurt the sites that are behind the search results far more than it will hurt Google. Google (or Bing, ...) can become the one-stop-shop for so much more than it is today
I think the pushback is more about adopting a passive predictive approach than an interventionist approach, and about the stigma that genetic-based approaches create when they don't predict beyond past behavior very well.

It's unclear what using genes to predict educational outcomes adds beyond just trying to provide the best possible opportunities over and over again. It doesn't really matter if it's genes or some fixed environmental history.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, we are seeing this pattern indeed. I agree that it doesn't guarantee success, we're inspired by open source apps that compete in being better software rather than only privileged as open source.
What I find most interesting is that it has better UI than AnyDesk. I haven't used TeamViewer in so long, I can't comment on it.

You can lose all your savings and your home in the US as a result of just Healthcare expenses alone. Do you think that is a good idea? None of the other industrialized nations of the world do. Hmmm.
Exactly. I worked at a Citadel like fund and that's the vibe. The calculus was like this - I'd rather risk being fired than work in a place where low performers are cozy.

The reality is that working at a place like that or a FAANG for just a few years sets you up for a great career no matter what happens. So even if you get fired after a few years you are still better off.

It's good to have coworkers who can think rationally and make decisions this way, too. It's a virtuous cycle.
You are making a completely arbitrary definition of meritocracy and missing the whole context.
Even if you include VAT the chances are that you spend quite a small amount of your money on VAT-rated goods. There's only so much stuff you can buy. Most of your earnings are probably going on a mortgage or being invested, neither or which have VAT on them.

> The only way you can safely pull off layoffs is if you ensure that anything you do in the company requires the experience of a boot camp. That means that everyone is fungible and you can easily swap them.

This is an interesting way to think of the Leetcode style interview. If you don't require any particular experience and you have built your company's systems in a way that any "competent" developer can join and be effective, layoffs may not be such a big problem.
What? Can you break your perspective down more into the context of the comment you're replying to?
1. I actually also think it's not beneficial. However, company leaders must realise of this side-effect yet it doesn't stop them from lay-offs. I just wanted to point out a difference vs regular attrition, since this was the question asked by OP.

2. I could also be people hired recently, it is often the case that they're paid more than their peers on the same level.

3. Maybe re-assigning people from a dismantled team doesn't make sense because these people will be upset about their former team being dissolved and thus spread the negative energy to other teams?

4. I'm glad we agree :)
Layoffs are about projected profits not past profits.

SQL is kind of a monster language to parse properly[1], and has some unfortunate and confusing edge cases[2]. It would have cost a ton of time and energy to implement properly, and all it would have ended up with is "SQL but worse."

SQL is also really awkward around APIs, since API norms and schemas don't map cleanly to SQL tables and JOINs. For example, many APIs take arguments, and while the most natural way to express an API call in SQL is as a SELECT or JOIN, requiring user-provided arguments there is really clunky. Worse, if the API that takes an argument sets a default value if that argument is not provided, then you end up in a situation where a `SELECT * FROM API` can return fewer results than a `SELECT * FROM API WHERE <some predicate>`. Using a new language meant that I could design it to best highlight Trustfall's capabilities with minimal work.

Trustfall's core is language-agnostic, so it should be possible to put a new language parser in front of it in the future -- including SQL. So I haven't ruled it out forever, I just didn't want the first thing I built to be "SQL but worse" because it's in a domain poorly suited for it.

This just means that the Taxpayer took up that money. I'm sorry for your loss but this is insane. I'd rather die in a hospital where I don't take up valuable time from doctors and nurses to commute to my home to take care of me instead of taking care of people that might actually get better. This is a level of egoism that borders on narcissism and the tax payer has to pay for it.

The American Healthcare system is insane but at least in this one regard the cost of being an unreasonable egoist is not being paid by the rest of society. Go fucking die in a hospital like everyone else and don't take away limited resources from people that might actually get better. Or if you do, at least pay the bill yourself.
I feel like such a drone would need quite a bit of heft to offset swinging the blade - like the motorcycles in Daniel Suarez's Daemon.

A drone with a gun would get thrown about as it shoots.

Missiles, lasers, EMP, and explosives seem like the most practical drone weapons.
It may be a 'tired' argument but a valid one. For me I keep using 'dosisms' in powershell. But they do not work because those commands are actually something different and you need the params for those items. One that gets me every time is is the 'dir /s' command which does not work in powershell because you should use -recurse which is the command for Get-ChildItem which is what it is really calling.

I think most people have this issue when jumping between shells. Each one is has its own way of working. But adding aliases, I can see why they did it. The problem is it was poorly done up front. Now they are kind of stuck with it and we get to deal with it. Also you may be expecting all of the sorting items out of dir/ls. But you do not get those. You get to pipe it and sort it in a secondary step. Which is fine. But can is a bit of a pain when you are used to something like 'dir /os' vs 'Get-ChildItem . | Sort-Object -Property Length'. It just takes some getting used to. But seems longer and more verbose to get the same effect.

It is nicer though when you want to act on those items though (which is where powershell shines) as everything is in an object and you can slice it down. But using it for 'shell' things like where is a file and what is the biggest in a folder it falls a bit flat and feels like the object model is in the way.
I feel like I'm so used to famous people and athletes opening their mouth and saying something insane, that I was pretty surprised that this was well written and pretty well grounded.
I didn't downvote you. (In fact, I don't have access to the downvote button lol, but I wouldn't have used it here in any case.) But a comment above yours already discussed this possibility, and there were replies as to why this is not the problem here. C and Python are giving the same fp result just printed to different precisions. Ftr I was using the defaults, whatever those may be:

I think there are plenty of people that remain skeptical of their utility for this application.

People who want to get rich will tell you it's the next greatest thing that will revolutionize the industry.

Personally, I've been annoyed at how confidently wrong ChatGPT can be. Even when you point out the error and ask it to correct the mistake it comes back with an even-more-wrong answer. And it frames it like the answer is completely, 100% correct and accurate. Because it's essentially really deep auto-complete, it's designed to generate text that sounds plausible. This isn't useful in a search context when you want to find sources and truth.

I think there are useful applications for this technology but I think we should leave that to the people who understand LLM's best and keep the charlatans out of it. LLM's are really interesting and have come a long way by leaps and bounds... but I don't see how replacing entire institutions and processes by something that is only well understood by a handful of people is a great idea. It's like watering plants with gatorade.

I agree. DEI and a true meritocracy are not at odds with each other. In fact, a true meritocracy can't exist without DEI.
Google search has been powered by a large language model (BERT) for years so we've all been successfully using LLMs for search for a while now, just not in the way you're thinking.

Isn't that because the Tory governments have been squeezing NHS to death in terms of funding to try and privatize it?
I hate trying to get the bill. My wife and I went to a restaurant in Paris on Valentine's night and it was mayhem people trying to get in. The meal was great, but could I get someone to bring me my bill, did they come back - it felt like they really wanted us to stay the night.
I think it’s also intentionally misleading though. It’s not dying at home. It’s riding out the rest of your days under detailed medical supervision which presumably intervenes and prevents you from dying.

Productivity takes a hit for a week. And then starts up anew with new direction and new energy.

Sometimes layoffs are erratic and cause employees to question management's logic.

Most times, every employee is put on alert to not get complacent in their job and always be on the lookout for a better position. (this might be a net positive, POV)
Doesn't this require everyone to have children and your children to live nearby? Also, it seems like the OPs aging parent required specialized care which contributed to the high cost, not everyone could provide this level of care.

Yes this is what I'm referring to - the Danica Patrick bikini ads in the mid 2000s.

The first day of our internship they briefed us on that history. Bob had thought that the market for small-businesses in need of a domain name were men aged 35-55. Once bob was gone, actual market research was done and it turned out that over half of their clients were women, so he had completely mis-identified the market.

But, because of the commercials, the brand recognition was over 90% in the US so they couldn't change the name.
Article’s headline says he died at 94.

I've spent a great deal of time coming up with my plan. My plan is to NOT seek a fix to everything that can possibly go wrong. For example, I'm 56 and have never had a colonoscopy and I don't intend to get one. If I get colon cancer, then so be it. If I get cancer, it's doubtful that I would go through chemotherapy. I'd rather leave life earlier than try to squeeze out every drop possible and end up withering away in a nursing home.

The role of a government in a capatilistic society is to basically do the stuff that isn't profitable for corporations to do without exploiting the population. For example build roads, because if a corporation did that there would be tolls everywhere and it would be hard for poor people to improve their living standards if they couldn't economically move around. That seems to have happened on the internet. The internet is in the commons and everyone expects it to be free, the problem is that the infrastructure to navigate it was built by corporations and now we have to pay tolls through ads and trackers

It was the "This is STRANGE!" bit that I was talking about. It (probably) isn't strange. It's probably happened a lot over the past 4.6bn years that the sun has been doing its thing. It's new to us because we've only been observing it for a tiny length of time. That's not the same as it being strange.
Even this kind of project only helps so much. ChatGPT has absolutely no understanding of anything, it just regurgitates words and sentences in a way that sounds like it knows something. It's next sentence might be completely, dangerously wrong. You can't even claim that it lies to you. It needs to have an inkling of the truth to be able to lie in the first place. It's basically a well-trained parrot that has learned when to say the right combinations of phrases it's memorized at the right time in the right order to earn a treat. It has no idea what any given word means, let alone what it just said.

If someone built something that parsed sentences, stored facts, learned relationships between them, learned enough language processing to make connections between them in order to be able to say something new about the subject it didn't already know before-hand, then I'd be on that train. Right now I only see misery in our future if we just work on honing ChatGPT and it's ilk to better simulate BS.

As an immigrant Asian child I can tell you usually we had none of these things.

What drove me and my friends was pressure. I knew what my parents gave up to give me this chance. I knew they probably wouldn’t have enough savings to ever retire without me helping them out later. I knew I didn’t want to disappoint them.

Why must countless Asian parents’ sacrifices and kids effort be swept away under DEI? Of course I get that it helps to create a society where no one would have to go such lengths to provide opportunity for their children. But man, it just rubs me the wrong way.
I bet people like that drift into voluntary unpaid overtime.
I've come to The realization that the only socialization I can do now are on weekends with other parents that have children the same age, or after 9:00 p.m. if I can drive out somewhere solo while my wife stays home.
So what's more likely here:

1. Stoltenberg didn't get arrested because he was the son of a high-ranking government official.

2. He had a secret history of collaboration with American intelligence going back to his teenage days that is only being mentioned now in a single line in a paragraph with several other factual inaccuracies.
I don't know where you got those numbers. For the past 20ish years or so, the rallying cry in American politics is that everyone needs to go to college in order to have a job.

It's only recent that the left is pushing for jobs that don't require college degrees.
You can't forget about ethnically Jewish people, another minority group that has disproportionately good outcomes. All of a sudden, these are just a new type of white people who (according to some notable activists like the BLM founders) have even more whiteness than the normal white people.

But it's not about people signing a thing saying they won't be racist.
Since I know you read the article, I'm sure you saw the bit about someone penalizing a candidate for saying that "he respects his students and treats them equally." People can now quote the I Have A Dream Speech as part of their application essay and be branded racist for daring to say we should judge people by the content of their character. Whether it's coordinated or not is irrelevant - there is a group of people that push a particular subjective world view on others not just on not being racist but how one should not be racist.

Life doesn't have a liberal bias. If you think so, then either you are surrounding yourself by too many people that think exactly the same way you do (which kind of misses the point on diversity), or you have created an environment in which there are people who think differently than you, but are reluctant to actually speak their mind.

Shameless plug for my plugin https://github.com/mk12/fish-fzf:

Even companies that try to be more granular than the state level can only do so much. Even if you leave out my relatively nearby major metro, I bet there is 2x difference in housing prices across the suburbs/exurbs/smaller cities around the area based on school systems, how rural towns are, and other factors.
100% this. This is marketing to the highest level. Heck, look at MS now. They knew this was the opportunity to associate bing to the hype and with Google making a mistake with its "infamous" video, they won round 1.

>"It doesn’t matter where you work, as long as you get the work done."

Having worked with a number of overseas teams in China and India, it's actually somewhat difficult for US-based teams to work with teams up to 12 hours "distant" and also who have different sets of official holidays. I've been in so many status meetings that are either late at night for me or late at night for overseas team members so we can sync up, only to have bad network weather make it difficult to hear each other. Management tolerates these difficulties and added delays and inefficiencies because the labor cost difference is so large. While I love the idea of relocating overseas myself I don't think they'd tolerate continuing to pay what I earn as a US-based person once I was no longer US-based.
I didn't state anywhere that old Twitter was innovating, that's your strawman to beat :)
I think you're confused. What I am complaining about is that it was used for out patients for sars-cov-2 infection leading to covid-19. We both agree that happened and I am saying that is bad and unprecedented usage outside of supervised hospital care.

Molnupiravir was never given except in the context of supervised hospital care for other viral diseases. And your link does not disprove that. My knowledge about Molnupiravir is not direct, but only from the research I, and others on IRC did, back in 2021. It is much harder to research this now with all the sars-cov-2 studies improperly using the drug muddying the results. But I assure you, your search will be 99% in-patient usage for other viral diseases. This usage is weird. And it was available only after paxolovid was approved.
Science isn't a document with truths laid out in plaintext.

Science is a method. Science is a method humans use in order to create a repeatable experiment, with repeatable outcomes. That's it.

As our tools improve our measurements, those measurements lead to a greater understanding of the world around us.

That is science. It's why science seems to change, because our tools improve, our measurements improve, and our data gathered becomes more refined.

Science is simply a tool used to garner truths.

Startups. Top performers at Google, if they've been smart about their finances, are sitting on a few million in the bank and have runways between ~10 years to infinity. They can afford to work for equity for a few years to take a slice of the pie when the company takes over another industry.
No, this is one way of laundering money, but it is the same as cash. If Bitcoin doesn't exist, you don't think they can carry Euros over the border to China in a truck?
