A Lattician, a Flexporter, ..., an eBayer and a Hubber walk into a bar. But in the end, they can't afford getting anything to drink since they've been laid off.
A fired employee can sue for wrongful dismissal. If this happened to your check with a lawyer, if you can show that the company had a pattern of overlooking such things, then you can get big bucks in court.

I know of people who should have been fired who were talked into quitting instead just because quitting means they can't sue. In turn the company gives the official answer "X worked here between these dates and left in good standing". Since the company always said the same thing when asked if someone worked there it wasn't a negative to the next employer, while if they fired they would have to say left in bad standing.

Of course since getting fired is a sensitive issue I won't say who. Reading between the lines in conversations and how the company acted though I'm sure that is how it worked.
I'm reminded of the early days of "AI" when that consisted of building chess engines, because chess is what "intelligent" people do. They quickly realized that they were solving the wrong problem, doing the thing that humans are bad at and computers are good at.

In a sense language models appear to be doing the same thing again, one step down the scale. They're doing a human-specific thing, but missing whatever it is that non-human vertebrates do, and mammals do pretty well. I believe that this is the vast majority of human cognition, too. We just don't talk about it because when we talk about thinking, we're talking, and confuse the two.

These language models have done jaw-dropping things, and also make it abundantly clear that there's some fundamental thing that they've completely missed. It's plausible that that "thing" could emerge all by itself, using a mechanism entirely different from vertebrate cognition and yet somehow sufficient. Or it could be like the chess engines, doing something amazing and yet ultimately limited and of minimum utility.
No, because the rising tide of automation should, at least ostensibly, lift all boats. If the extra utility created by automation is captured by technocrats, that’s a political and social problem, not a technical one. Pointing out the ways that technology can be abused isn’t an argument against technology - it’s an argument against abuse, and for governance that optimizes the wellbeing of constituents.
I doubt in office staff are more valued by companies than remote staff. If the company is moderately large then you will not be any more visible than a remote worker.

Yeah, I mean I'm sure there's a complicated story here... but when the market isn't producing some consumer good, I think it's a good idea to check whether there's some root cause we can fix. Not just throw yet another hack on top of the chaos.
"Responded" could be execution of payload.
It's hard to look at behaviour separately from language if the only behaviour available is to generate text. As long as we don't have a test agnostic of medium, this will have to do.

In the end, we can't overcome the limitation that all we can empirically see is the ability to process X and generate appropriate Y. If that invalidates the test where X is language and Y is language, what stops us from invalidating any possible X and Y? That would leave us no empirical method to work with.

One of the biggest markets for small aviation engines which run on something other than 100LL is small drones — running on JP8, Jet A, or Jet A1 would make military logistics far easier and safer. Even road gas would be a reasonable alternative to 100LL, and both diesel/kerosene and gas are easier to find in the bush. Kerosene/diesel are probably better due to risk of water in the fuel at these places, but diesel engines tend to be heavier than gas.

Deltahawk, Thielert, etc are the bigger projects I’ve followed. Getting an actual certified engine is…hard.

If how the company acts in practice is different from their written rules, then anyone fired can sue the company for wrongful dismissal. Check with a lawyer.
One can do all three, right?
In my experience doing weird things with mountpoints, there is almost always some bug that happens on reboot of the system. For example, if your mounts aren't in /etc/fstab, they simply won't be restored.
And if you have a script that sets them up manually, then make sure that script runs on boot after any mounts it implicitly depends on.

Also note that any scripts with config stored in these mountpoints (which seems to be the point of the tool) will not be able to run until the mountpoints are up. That seems like an obvious observation, but it's easy to fall into a trap where one of your scripts installed with this tool is called in a setup script that runs on boot of your machine.
Hey, we're looking for a 3rd full-time engineer (Javascript primarily). We're a startup that builds apps on the Salesforce app marketplace.

That's a bit like saying we should defund the police. It's thought provoking and grabs headlines. It even has some merit, but it's ultimately not the solution. Reform the FDA, sure I can support that.

The FDA, from my perspective, plays such a huge and important role in our society and showcases the exact things we need from our government. They are an example of a government entity that mostly gets the job done right, an essential part of our livelihood today.

I mean, I have a collection of very old engineering books, including one on Petroleum Refinery Engineering and a Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook printed when text books where $2. But I had no idea this was a "thing" among developers.
That's not "companies find they are more profitable". That's "nobody does it and it's probably because some tried and decided it was better not to, and maybe the way they decided it was better was by comparing profits".

Keep in mind that's for team lead (which is "50% IC" I guess). But it's not exactly hard to see around 110k-120k for senior freelancing/consulting positions when you have good experience and great contacts. Also I see some Principal/Staff that make around this, this but those positions are sort of "tailor made" for certain individuals and are often "internal" and hard to apply for.

EDIT: Also the market moved quite a bit recently. A few years ago I wouldn't see this salary range at all. Also notice I'm getting old... Due to my experience/resumé I was also headhunted for principal and CTO positions, so there's that.

Google shares drop $100B after its new AI chatbot makes a mistake
Well OpenAI's explicit goal is AGI. While this is farfetched, it would clearly make them the most valuable company in the history of the world and the ability to monetize something like AGI would essentially be unlimited.

OpenAi isn't really interested in making money from selling products. So instead they have worked out a deal with MS where they give them the best new tools they can come up with in exchange for tons of cash and compute. They are basically a research lab of which MS owns a significant, but not controlling, share. ChatGPT itself is probably not going to make any money. It is a very cool tech demo that functions as an ad for MS products. The money making part comes in when MS starts to bundle OpenAI models into MS products which then get sold to businesses. And if there is one thing MS is very good at, it is selling software to businesses.
Theory of mind is a popular research topic in animals. There is no controversy in the idea that the attribution of mental states occurs in animals.
Compacting folders is something I hope that they fix. I tell Thunderbird to download/sync all accounts and immediately it prompts me to compact and if I let it, it will only fail with an error because it's still in the middle of doing what I just asked it to. A little more intelligence in when it prompts for compacting would be nice.

Better yet, they could do a better job handling it automatically so I don't need it to ask me.

There’s a version of this where the output is mediated by humans. Currently chatgpt has a thumbs up/down UI next to each response. This feedback could serve as a signal for which generated output may be useful for future ingestion. Perhaps OpenAI is already doing this with our thumb signals.
Hey, we've created an open-source framework that is really aligned with many of the points you’ve mentioned: CQRS + Event Sourcing + DDD.

Its name is Booster, it is built in TypeScript, and offers a minimalist approach to building event-sourced services, with a focus on reducing code and abstracting the infrastructure setup for a better developer experience. The framework generates a fully functional GraphQL API that's easily customizable and already used in several production projects. It's our go-to choice for new projects that fit the event-driven paradigm.

If you're interested, come join the conversation on our Discord channel at https://discord.gg/Rf6cwGRxgD, visit our website https://www.boosterframework.com/ or contribute to the project on GitHub at https://github.com/boostercloud/booster.
I recall reading that pointing is something that only a few animals, including us, do and understand.

If I get my cats' attention and point at something, they're more interested in the tip of my finger than the direction I'm pointing at.

Now, my cats will occasionally meow to get my attention and then walk over to where the problem is - an empty food dish, an empty water bowl, the bed that they expect us to be in because hello, it's bedtime according to my internal cat-clock - but they never engage in pointing behavior.

Anyway, time to cite some stuff, instead of dropping anecdotes into a bucket:

- https://www.wired.co.uk/article/elephant-pointing

> A study by researchers from the University St Andrews has found that elephants are the only wild animals that can understand human pointing without being trained.
> Pointing in humans is a behaviour that develops at a very early age -- usually before a child reaches 12 months – as it is an immediate way of controlling the attention of others. "Most other animals do not point, nor do they understand pointing when others do it," says Professor Richard Byrne, one of the authors of the study. "Even our closest relatives, the great apes, typically fail to understand pointing when it's done for them by human carers; in contrast, the domestic dog, adapted to working with humans over many thousands of years and sometimes selectively bred to follow pointing, is able to follow human pointing -- a skill the dogs probably learn from repeated, one-to-one interactions with their owners."

- https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7531526_A_comparati...

> If the distance between the tip of the indexﬁnger and the object was greater than 50 cm, subjects per-formed poorly in contrast to trials where the pointing ﬁngeralmost touched the baited box. We should also note that insome trials/experiments the pointers also turned their headand looked in the same direction thereby enhancing thecommunicative effect of the gesture but even so the differ-ence did not disappear. Even after training, chimpanzees in Povinellietal’s (1997) experiment were just able to master the task.
If that’s the case then why hasn’t the shift happened sooner?

How many of those get exploited on firewalled networks before they're remotely patched though?

My whole point above that it does actively hurt, with devices randomly misbehaving at exactly wrong times. It's not enough to set up everything once because devices get updated and change ports, domains, and protocols. It also makes everything more brittle, requiring multiple inter-VLAN proxies to be running at all times for seemingly unrelated devices to work. That SD card in your raspi died? You decided to update Docker on it and run into problems? No Sonos for anyone in the house until it's fixed.

There's a real cost to that paranoia, it's just another case of security/convenience tradeoff.

Encryption is far more dangerous than a gun, it's more like a nuke. You can't individually bypass the entire US or UK government with a gun but you can reasonably expect to do it with strong encryption executed well.

You could use the same hocus-pocus people use to explain why say a surface to air missile isn't "arms" to explain why encryption isn't "speech", and honestly it'd probably be easier to do with the latter.
So cool. I hope this scales well.
I don't think miles travelled per fatality is a useful point of comparison for general aviation. This puts it about on par with pedestrian deaths per mile travelled, and I don't think most people would call walking "extremely dangerous."

Great results on the first attempt I did.

When I wanted to export the result in highest available resolution, it asked me to subscribe for $5/month. I only need 1 single screenshot, so I’m not going to subscribe, but I can see this being used by big newspaper companies. Good luck with your project!
That oval office replica was the entrance to the office. The reason they gave publicly was that since it was people's first impression they wanted to make it grand. And since the admin employee was the first person to greet visitors, they felt it was the most important job in the office and wanted to give them a badass desk to do it from.
For a clearer example, there's a reason a virus that affects Windows doesn't affect Linux. Or a virus that affects Windows XP doesn't affect Windows 11. There are of course counter examples, but this is the trend. To understand why the counter examples exist requires expert knowledge (or rather that there are basically the same things running in the same way).
The story was broken by CoinDesk:

https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/02/09/us-securities-and...

Kraken is paying a $30M fine to the SEC because this “staking” is an unregistered security.

From the initial CoinDesk story:

“SEC Chair Gary Gensler has previously said he believes staking through intermediaries – like Kraken – may meet the requirements of the Howey Test, a decades-old U.S. Supreme Court case commonly used as one measure of whether something can be defined as a security under U.S. laws.
Staking looks similar to lending, Gensler said at the time. The SEC has brought and settled charges with lending companies before, such as now-bankrupt lender BlockFi.”
> Reality, nor even driving, is not anywhere close to that.

This reminds me of the kinds of intuitions people had about Chess and Go. In retrospect they seem silly, but it made plenty of sense to them at the time. The fact was that there was a solution that machines could use that humans couldn't use. Naturally, a solution that humans couldn't use was hard for them to anticipate being effective.
Might be an age thing. I started doing it in my 30s, and we have a diy channel in slack that's pretty active with wood workers. And I know of at least one famous YT wood worker that used to be a developer.

It intersects well with 3d printing and CNC stuff.
Thank you. No offense to everyone else replying to me, but this one-liner is worth more than all the hot-takes and random conjecture put together.
> Language models have no access to any such thing.

And this is exactly why MS is in such a hurry to integrate it into Bing. The feedback loop can be closed by analyzing user interaction. See Nadella’s recent interview about this.
> bundle of open source software. That version has telemetry enabled and can't be disabled.

I'd recommend saying "and cannot be configured off without code changes", or something. Of course it can be disabled, if it's open source.

Go compiler without telemetrics opt-out would fragment the community even harder than Go compiler with telemetrics default on. While your scenario is, of course, possible, it's not very relevant to the Go compiler.

As for your original "might be a sustainable way to run an open source company", if the primary feature one gets buy paying is "easy to turn off telemetrics", that just doesn't sound like enough value.
Do I Need to Avoid Dark Chocolate Now?
The overhangs don't have to take away from rentable space. It is in effect just a sun shade sticking out of the house horizontally blocking the sun without blocking the view like a baseball cap.

I am looking to buy a property right now and I have resigned myself that if I want a nicely designed house I will probably have to do it myself.

A well designed house does not have to be more expensive, it is just engineering -- and engineering is about knowledge, experience and ability to use both to make tradeoffs for a better result.

The knowledge is there but very few seem to be making use of it. Everybody tries to squeeze a lot of new tech but forget about old lessons -- just like in software development...
American schooling sucks because it's beholden to political objectives contrary to the interests of educating children. Look at the manufactured controversy over "intelligent design" a few decades back, or the current controversies over transgender bathroom access, or Florida's censorship of material in school libraries[0].

Municipal broadband and the post works well because the US is good at building infrastructure. But at the same time, our government is also beholden to interests that want to kill that infrastructure so they can sell costlier and worse equivalents. States passed a bunch of laws to ban local government from running ISPs and Congress has been putting stupid funding mandates on the USPS's pension schemes that make a profitable public venture unprofitable.

Transit is a bad example because America is famously addicted to cars and allergic to any transit system that isn't a road. The NYC Subway could not be built today under the current political climate. Hell, it wasn't even built by the city or state government; it was stolen from the people who built the system through overregulation. Nationally, we have Amtrak[1], which was created by bailing out failing freight companies. With some high-speed upgrades it could be great, but the system is still beholden to those same freight companies' infrastructure[2].

The underlying problem is that America does not want to build working government programs. It is run by people who deliberately take funding in order to burn it so they can complain about how much better "privately-run" monopolized systems are.

[0] There are probably examples that right-wingers would point out as well - maybe check Reason or CATO for them, because I forgot.

I think this is anti-status quo bias, which for once is unjustified. Sure the world has many systemic problems, but to say that the MASSIVE efficiency gains the internet have brought us are for a minority seems like an insane claim. Just because capitalists have been claiming all the new excess value doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

To illustrate, consider: spreadsheets, video chat, shared documents, automated calendars, maps, autopilot assistants, CGI, I could go on… the world is not quite good enough that I’m ready to say that we don’t need more efficiency. Not everyone has a home on mars quite yet.
