I think this is a weird non-issue and it's interesting people are so concerned about it.

- Human curated systems make mistakes.

- Fiction has created the trope of the omniscient AI.

- GPT curated systems also make mistakes.

- People are measuring GPT against the omniscient AI mythology rather than the human systems it could feasibly replace.

- We shouldn't ask "is AI ever wrong" we should ask "is AI wrong more often than the human-curated information? (There are levels of this - min wage truth is less accurate that senior engineer truth.)

- Even if the answer is that AI gets more wrong, surely a system where AI and humans are working together to determine the truth can outperform a system that is only curated by either alone. (for the next decade or so, at least)
I agree. The only reason it’s “inhumane” to lay people off is because of our horrible safety net and ridiculous cost of education. If we could solve those issues, then we wouldn’t need any loyalty from companies. Imagine if we had that in place and instead of the job destruction by ChatGPT being a tragedy, it was an opportunity to update our economy, with hundreds of thousands of people trained in new industries. Not drowning in debt, but ready to work at innovative new places or start new companies themselves.

Bing actually got tripped up by HGTV simplifying a product name in their article. It used this HGTV [0] article as its source for the top pet vacuums. The article lists the "Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum" and links to [1] which is actually named "Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lithium Ion Cordless Hand Vacuum". The product you found is the "Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum, Corded." A human likely wouldn't even notice the difference because we'd just follow the link in the article, or realize the corded vacuum was the wrong item based on its picture, but Bing has no such understanding.

Judges handle stuff like this a lot, where people cobble together clauses to create a franken-contracts, and wind up with a lot of self contradictions. In general, specific clauses should win out over general clauses, so this in theory might hold up depending on the judge, but it's not advisable to use this in any real life setting. Also using the name MIT is how you end up with some of the complaints in the Neo4j lawsuit, and is also not advisable. OP should seek legal counsel.
Again, the reason I think “spy” is an editorial choice to express an opinion is that in common English usage that work implies hostile intent. It's not just that some data is being recorded but that it's done with the understanding and desire to harm the subject. Contrast with “telemetry”, which is value-neutral and simply describes the mechanism of collecting data and transmitting it to be recorded somewhere else.

I don't think it's appropriate to use “spying” because there's no evidence of hostility here and considerable evidence to the contrary in the form of the public discussion and the proposal starting with various mechanisms limiting what is collected, how frequently it's reported, and preventing covert manipulation of the telemetry system.

Last year I applied to and then interviewed with roughly 15 companies between about March and August. It wasn't terrible but toward the end some of them stopped the process during freezes, which was a bit frustrating.

I'm not an amazing engineer or interviewer so I took the one offer I got.

If not for that I'm not sure if I'd have a job by now with everything going on.

No, if you sell within 24 months of start of offering period it counts as Disqualifying Disposition and the discount (FMV on purchase date minus purchase price) is taxed as ordinary income and anything on top as cap gains. If you sell more than 24 months from start of offering period, you have Qualifying Disposition and get to compute discount as min(FMV at start of offering period minus price you would have gotten had you purchased on start of offering period, sell price minus purchase price) and use that for ordinary income with the rest of gains as cap gains.

Since stocks generally go up, waiting (2 years - offering period) for QD to use discount % x FMV at start of offering period can be more beneficial than discount % x FMV on purchase date, because you may end up paying less ordinary income and more cap gains. However, you do need to incur more risk to hold an individual stock for 2 years. Conversely, if the stock goes down then DQ may actually lead to you paying less in ordinary income, so you should pay attention to how the numbers look, how confident you are in your company's equity and what your IPS says.
What value besides money? A company paying a employee to be "loyal" is nothing more than a business transaction, and "loyal" really is "please, don't go to another company, we will pay you to stay here". I'm assuming the employee is not also the owner.
If you have ever used mobile data, you've shared your IP address with other customers. Many residential ISPs around the world also use CGNAT. I had to call the customer support of mine to have a dedicated IP address. Other providers may force customers to pay for a static IP address if they want to avoid CGNAT.

MS Teams is so bad that if an employer forced me to use it, I'd resign immediately. I feel sorry for all the folks at Github being tortured in this way.

The problem with codingfont.com is that it overrides the line height, so you won't see what the line height will actually look like in your editor, which is something that I care about.

WASM is to the "Origin Privet File System" (OPFS) is to WebGPU. It's about making lower level hardware primitives (CPU, HDD, GPU) available in a sandboxed form to the web platform. There are many database engines, and even extensions for SQLite, that are domain specific. WebSQL was the wrong abstraction and would have failed to fulfilled all use cases.

The correct abstraction is WASM and the now no longer missing piece, the OPFS, which allows you to build any ACID compliment database engines you want.

Take for example DuckDB, without WASM and the OPFS that wouldn't be possible. We are going to see an explosion in "local first" development as a result of these new primaries build on top of many different database engines.

I mean shouldn't there something a little wrong about not running a profitable business for nearly a decade and that the only people who seems to be "winning" are those that took advantage of a relaxed monetary environment and cashed out during the IPO?

Why does money trump this?

I absolutely disagree that most workers want to work for "winners." Most workers want to have a stable job and a life of meaning outside the company. These companies are not stable at all.

Isn't the idea of this pitch that they're going to design their own laptops now though?

I was under the impression that the extant laptops from this brand are just rebadges (Clevo - like System76).

It's a big leap from slapping custom badges and boot logos on a Clevo to designing something from scratch.
> But they may not be harmed in ways that don't involve monetary loss, or involve monetary loss that they can quantify and attribute.

It is better that your average Joe wastes 500 dollars over a wrong airline ticket, than to waste 500 thousand in a lawsuit because a government bureaucracy placed too much faith in consultants and efficiency buzzwords.

> Honestly, if it's gate-kept, it should be limited to academics and researchers. It's orders of magnitude worse for some institutional process to be built on the "judgements" of an unreliable "AI" than for some consumer to be mislead about something.

Academics and researchers are not infallible. The current loss of trust in subject matter experts is precisely because they have been held up for too long as paragons of knowledge and judgement. People's lives and livelihoods are impacted when experts make a mistake or offer bad advice. Most of the top academics that are summoned by think tanks and consult for governments are all well tenured/insulated from the worst consequences of their decisions.

I think that last claim deserves a citation.
And that the cited document actually exists and says what it's claimed to say.
I do use it a lot. Some of the infuriating things:
* scrolling back past last day conversation doesn’t work properly, you have to wait a few seconds then text is rendered in such a way that you lose track where you were
* worse latency with each month for receiving messages. I’m logged on multiple machines and messages come with random delays
* even after joining a call my other Teams instance will still ring for some time…
That’s a good point. I don’t think anyone is denying that GPT will be useful though. I’m more worried that because of commercial reasons and public laziness / ignorance, it’s going to get shoehorned into use cases it’s not meant for and create a lot of misinformation. So a similar problem to search, but amplified
"if there is a signal fluctuating between 4.5V and 5.5V before the cap, it'll be -0.5V and 0.5V behind the cap" if there's a resistance to ground after the capacitor. I've accidentally planned an audio amp with input decoupling capacitors, didn't add ground resistors before the capacitors, so if you plug it into an audio output with DC-blocking capacitors but not resistors to ground, the voltage in the middle could be anything.
> do we have any reason to think we can’t teach a LLM better logic?

I'll go for a pragmatic approach: the problem is that there is no data to teach the models cause and effect.

If I say "I just cut the grass" a human would understand that there's a world where grass exists, it used to be long, and now it is shorter. LLMs don't have such a representation of the world. They could have it (and there's work on that) but the approach to modern NLP is "throw cheap data at it and see what sticks". And since nobody wants to hand-annotate massive amounts of data (not that there's an agreement on how you'd annotate it), here we are.
>The issue is that from a management standpoint, you can't make certain people come in while letting others who can easily do work from home stay with WFH.

I do not understand this. That was the reasoning given by my previous employer as to why folks had to come back to the office as well, and it just doesn't hold up to close scrutiny.

Delineation of duties and clear expectations is sort of step 1 of managing people. Some people have jobs that can be effectively done off-site, and some do not. It's just a matter of sitting down with folks and outlining what and why.

If they disagree, you provide an avenue for evaluating the business case they have, other than 'I just prefer it'. If there is a compelling case to be made, let them make it and quantify its positive impact on the business.

I just don't get that statement, at all. I didn't three years ago, and I don't now.
Slack [video] Huddles didn't cut the mustard for them?

edit: ahh i see "inter-company". yeah, Slack huddles start to suck when guest accounts/other Slack instances or externals get involved. got it.
I simply don't understand this at all.

I've used in 3 of my last workplaces. Two exclusively and one in addition to slack. No particular complaints for having internal meetings of any size. I literally do not know what you are talking about and feel like I am missing something.
I need to rotate at work due to early-stage burnout, and fortunately my manager has realized it too and got me assigned to a new, interesting problem that I get to lead. But my need to rotate stems from a big project I am 90% done with, and iteratively bug-bashing to get to 100% and launch it. I need to finish that project to become a Senior and really get started on the next problem.

The alternative is switching jobs or teams, which I don’t want to do: my manager and coworkers are great, I am progressing my career quickly, and it would be impossible to get the same pay without sacrificing WLB.

This creates an interesting dilemma: the harder I work in the short term, the more I risk burnout, but once I finish my current project I can take a long vacation and likely won’t feel burnt out once I switch tasks. If I try to take it easy so that I don’t accumulate burnout as quickly (or take a long vacation now rather than later), I simply accumulate burnout at a lower rate over a longer interval.

I feel like a lot of people don’t burn out in isolation or completely unexpectedly, but because they are faced with similar situations as I am in. How closely can I flirt with it while still accomplishing career objectives?
How are voice calls?

That article is mostly about business income or investment income like sale of real estate in California. It does not apply to people living outside of California and earning wages from California based companies. Imagine all the Tesla employees in Texas and other states. They would all be paying California income tax, which is of course not the case.
There’s a big difference between pulling a George Costanza and quietly talking to recruiters at other companies. Don’t make a scene, just look for a better job and give notice when you get an offer.
I miss the days of sending someone a letter with some cash for them to associate address A with line B. All I'd have to do to stay essentially anonymous is finding a someone with bad record keeping.

Suddenly someone shows up with address A and threats and then drowns trying to interpret that persons mappings. While that's happening I can find 5 other someones and suddenly I have 6 addresses all of which essentially ephemerally link to my system. Someone else does that for their mapping system and you get to Dijkstra levels of working out how to block connections.

After like 3 levels of middlemen even centralized authorities just struggle to do the actual work of blocking, outside of just issuing the order.
I can't promise this is how all managers think. And there's definitely companies that are perfectly happy for you to work 60 hours when being paid for 40. Either they don't care, or are ignorant of the qualitative cost of that.

I'm very fortunate to work somewhere that gives me a reasonable amount of autonomy for how to ensure my team delivers quality work on-time. One of the main reasons is that the company doesn't MBA us to death by doing things like, "they're on-time! Give them 20% more work next time!"
Surprisingly many of the buildings were new. Even 1 month old projects collapsed. While old buildings constructed upto code remained unscathed.

They built the buildings without adhering to code. They get a project approved, do whatever they want (steal materials, build another floor, decide not to dig a foundation) and sell the projects advertising that the buildings are upto code. As we have a highly corrupt government, they pay their bribes and get the building approved. Also, the building inspectors are private companies, they approve buildings without ever going on site.

Even newly built government buildings such as hospitals, airports collapsed!! Even those buildings were built with bribes :(.

Corruption killed us here :(.
