"Founder Intuition" == Founders syndrome is a problem... sooner or later... always a problem.

"Team Expertise" == Process people tend to form conglomerates, and productive talent tends to form pockets of chaos. These roles are both foundational concepts, and diametrically opposed to each other. The suits always win in the end, as they have a singular focus.

"Customer Expertise" == learning about the 4 types of customer, then why 3 out of 4 types are essentially irrelevant to a profitable business.

Its funny, because it is true =)
Unshackled AIs will probably be like any other jailbroken or hobbyist grade device: a niche product that requires a bit of legwork but more tailored to the desires of its specific audience.

> When I delete an app on an iPhone, all its data is also deleted. Gone. Why can't it be the same for the Mac?

Because on iPhone the app is completely sandboxed. Think Docker, with virtualised OS paths, but on OS level. When Apple tried to introduce a very light version of sandboxing, the world was ablaze in pitchforks and torches.
> I feel like AMD for some reason doesn't understand that support for GPGPU on the consumer stack is important to eventually getting adoption in the enterprise space.

I made an attempt a few years ago at getting in to the machine learning world and discovered very quickly that I was facing a choice - either I could go AMD and open source drivers or Nvidia and cutting edge software. To learn the algorithms on my own PC just didn't seem feasible with an AMD GPU - running them on the CPU was too slow and I never found a way to make things work on the GPU with the resources I located. I gave up on AI since open source software is more important to me.

Maybe I just lacked the right mindset, but the difficulties were so extreme it seems plausible that most people with an AMD GPU never learned to use ROCm at the amateur level and there wasn't a sufficiently good strategy to get it adopted at the professional level without an amateur community.

Low level GPU programming is really hard. OpenGL, CUDA, OpenCL, whatever. I'm still on the lookout for an introductory resource on how I'm meant to use an AMD gpu to multiple 2 matrices together. I literally can't find one with a 5 minute google search, I get a blank article [0]. Maybe it is just blank for me? For using OpenGL I can just go play around [1]. There needs to be a strong community of advanced people explaining what to do which means big amateur support.

So, in short, I strongly agree. I think AMDs (poor) support of consumer stack for GPGPU hurt them a lot more than they realise. OpenCL doesn't seem to cut it. The lack of libraries and community indicates that the feeder pipeline of amateur -> professional growth is broken and nobody is learning to use their platform even for fun.

Rust has been around for so long these domains should have long since been covered. Quite telling they aren’t yet, particularly considering the momentum in publicity. I wonder why.
I totally agree. Instead of advertising, a much more effective way to get a company's brand recognized using small towns is to dump hazardous chemicals in them and light them on fire. We should do that more. Who needs parks anyhow? Less land for parking lots!

I never would have believed such an offer, and I can't imagine why anyone would. The writing has been on the wall since the vaccines were available.
Another problem you didn't identify: it requires their crew to be composed entirely of fairly senior, talented people. Hire a bunch of junior (even good juniors) and see how this "self-managing" crew never finishes a film, let along a good film.

We definitely want at least one AI that openly does so, because studying it might help us spot it in more subtle AIs.
I would argue that recommender systems that are tuned to drive profits through engagement are exactly what is wrong with today's internet. I don't have a strong opinion of whether they should be protected by Section 230, but nerfing those systems will almost surely make things better, not worse.
That could make a fascinating 2x2. I wonder what other failure modes the other intersections could reveal. Have you thought about those other 3 quadrants?

I did the exercise for myself, and here's what I got:

hands-on + task-oriented = micromanager

hands-on + people-oriented = professional office politician (deeply involved, but only to the extent it enables shaping the org chart)

hands-off + task-oriented = scrum master (no technical background that would allow being hands-on, but still very concerned with tasks)

hands-off + people-oriented = HR rep, I guess? Relatively distant from the day-to-day of the team, but still concerned with "people."

On reflection, maybe that last one is a bit of a stretch. But — definitely an interesting thought experiment overall.

You mean Python, not Clojure. A number of key underpinnings, such as (almost) exclusively immutable datastructures are missing from this language.

It is more of a Python with a LISP syntax.
Without reference the way I understand it micromanaging means a manager goes too deep into the topics they are managing.

A manager should give the broad strokers and directions and their subordinates should work out the details. If a manager manages in such a way they basically end up doing the complete mental work themselves, they are micromanaging.

This might be bad for two reasons: first the manager themselves might loose the big picture, second the subordinates loose interest in their job because there is no challenge, no creative freedom, no wiggle room and no trust in their work. If you want your subordinates to grow and improve you need to give them work with which they can learn and grow and you need to have a certain level of trust in their ability — all things a micromanaging manager will not need to do.

That being said it is not micromanagement if a manager goes into the topic deep once in order to explain it to their subordinates — if they do it constantly then it becomes micromanaging.
The main point is disengaged managers can be a huge problem. I experienced a period of bullying when my manager got a lot more responsibility and disengaged. One of my peers started abusing his power, his people and me and there was no effective way to put a stop. Narcissists at the top are bad but on the side with deliberate ignorance from the too is hell. Forced me to learn more about boundary setting than I ever wanted. Eventually boss was fired due to lack of performance and shortly latter bully left to a place with fewer constraints.
Maybe from the lower level employee not managing to get work done otherwise? I've on multiple occasions seen junior folks have negative contributions (causing more harm than good, by no fault of their own) by being left alone to "self-manage" when they're not yet ready for it.
That's amazing! Reminds me of this site: https://www.litrpgadventures.com/ which I think also uses OpenAI.
You are trying to compare a large toxin spill against a municipal failing to upgrade their infrastructure. This is similar to Flint, MI.

Huell Howser Archives: California’s Gold
I think _entirely_ ignoring the kinds of considerations it covers is such a typical failure case for inexperienced programmers (or non-career coders) that it's an excellent prod to expand the scope of what enters their awareness when writing code.

Ideally folks notice discrepancies between their experiences and the things it recommends and find their taste and judgement that way, though it doesn't always work out.

So like, maybe the fact that some of the advice is clearly dreadful if you try it could be a useful wedge against the kind of cult thinking so pervasive in software. I've seen considerably more grief from people treating his SOLID stuff like a bible that clean code. YMMV.
I don't think a disclaimer can protect the company when the AI tells someone to kill themself, as Bing has apparently done multiple times.

I agree with the conclusions and overall thinking. I would however regard the example as an exception rather than the rule.
Furthermore I think the creative industry has some peculiarities of its own (ie. most people would do creative work or hobbies without being paid, Justice as a rewarding activity).
My point is that in a company or startups the intrinsic motivations might be very different.
I don’t understand the anger at this woman. The video she posted just showed what the office is like. She didn’t design it nor did she display any real entitlement.

Just because developers lack common understanding on what, how to do Clean Coding, made me think NoCode is the future. Developers are just bad as coding. In general, human being lacks ability to clean code.

It’s probably higher, given that Twitter has been miscounting the views metric (inflating it) for some time.

Cannabis doesn't do shit for my chronic pain, nor any other pain sufferers I know. It actually makes mine significantly worse. Nothing worse than hearing people say "have you tried marijuana!!?" for the millionth time.
It doesn't say that California is doing great. It says that of all the gun laws that California has in place, only 3 have any research behind them to show that is is effective. The other laws may or may not help but the evidence is flimsy.

The point of the entire article is that people are just using simple graphs like the one you linked to without actually doing any studying and then making laws based upon some perceived correlation. California is strict with its rules but it doesn't say that it's a good thing.

I think one of the biggest differences is that ChatGPT is forced into a very reactive mode. It has basically zero initiative, and gets spooked by any question that might imply that it could make decisions or express opinions. In contrast, Bing is (was?) very proactive.

230 in it's entirety isn't really in danger here. Your ISP is almost definitely still protected regardless of this case. It seems that content recommendation algorithms are the focus and it might stretch to some kinds of search ranking. IMO the internet would be fine without recommendations on YouTube, but I would be afraid to lose things like reddit/stack overflow/hackernews/google that have a kind of content ranking.
Do you have a similar fear of ADHD medication due to pervasive meth addiction? Because you're drawing pretty much the exact same comparison, just with a different affliction.
Good managers can adapt the help they provide to the teams they manage.

A team of high-performing engineers needs something different from a manager than a team of low-performing juniors. A team building a new product in a fast-growing startup will have different needs to a maintenance team in a bluechip.

Nonetheless, I do like your thought experiment. It provides a model to think about what might be necessary.
SMAC had a few restrictions that made dealing with its leaders harder, but more realistic. In Civ 4 and later Civs you can build complex deals and propose them to the AI leaders. If they are bad, they tell you they are not acceptable and you can try again and again. You can see the "diplomatic price" of each item.

In SMAC you could make a single proposal per turn. If it was good, they would accept it, if it was almost good, they would counter your offer, if it wasn't good enough, they would actually get madder at you and stop talking for the rest of the turn (or for a few turns if you relations were that bad). That was the only feedback you'd get.

This small change made parlaying with AI leaders feel more realistic. Instead of going "Hm, you won't give me Zaragoza and all your money, because 'we are losing' is only at +15, I'll come next turn when it should be at +17" you start building a mental model of each leader and proposing deals you think they should accept.

When things are getting done on time and on budget, let the team run free.

When they don't, step in; if in the course of inquiry there's a bunch of bad decision-making, dysfunctional team, shoddy results, or an otherwise drastic departure from best practices, then it's time to micro-manage.

> several hundred atmospheric atom bomb tests

I mean, I know. My uncle was nuked (sort of on purpose) several times. When he was a teenager in Las Vegas in the 1950s, he and his buddies would go out to drink beers in the desert and watch the bombs go off. He said the ash would fall around them like snow. By the time he was 24 his hair was shock white and he was sterile. Oddly enough, he looks exactly the same jolly guy now as he did my whole life, like Santa Claus, and is still playing golf and fishing at 82 years old.

At the time of the rainstorm in Granada, we were hearing that the spent fuel pools on the roof of the reactors couldn't be kept full of water and were burning off into the atmosphere. I can't find the specific readings from around Europe at that time, but I don't think they were "baseline" 24-years post Chernobyl or even anything closely resembling that. To say that equipment is more sensitive is nice; many places I lived no one would still eat wild boar or certain mushrooms all those years after 1986. It is possible for a rainstorm to concentrate fallout from the upper atmosphere, and it also would be harder to detect than these giant HVAC units pulling in sea-level air.
In my experience in order to build or break a habit you must be able to tie the action to its immediate results. It can be placebo but in your mind that association must settle in.

But they don't mention Alpha Go Zero, which is on another level from Alpha Go because it's not held back by human game sample data.

Now the article mentions Leela Zero
and that one is an open source version of Alpha Zero where they used a community effort to do the same as Alpha Go zero described in the paper.

From the status page here: https://zero.sjeng.org/

I see that this took multiple years but was declared finished in 2021.
Status page says it played games in training are 21 million while Wikipedia says that for alpha go zero it was 5 million.

So you'd think it's better but actually it might just mean that they are not using they same techniques after all and so maybe worse.

So question for me still is whether this technique would actually be applicable to Alpha Go Zero.

But for me, this article is more a win for AI, because it means that they have found better techniques to find blind spots in models which can from now on be used in training to eventually get rid if those.
Quite the opposite here. Go is very easy to refactor if need be. What kind “breakages” are you talking about? Go being “verbose”? Or “fragile”? I doubt we’re talking about the same Go.

In Go you have a garbage collector, no need for the borrow checker or reference counting on your side. What unexpected nil pointers or zeros? It’s all easy and straightforward in Go. If you’re referring to the handling of materialized interfaces, which one may encounter in form of concrete error types, and which is one of Go’s idiosyncrasies, then it might help to look deeper into learning how to handle Go’s interfaces.
I was thinking of users who might have phones that have a Twitter app or capability (didn't realize at the time of my comment that SMS tweeting is no longer allowed) but no authentication method other than SMS, presumably also without a computer or reliable access to one. Maybe this is inaccurate. However, it still stands that Twitter is pushing people towards the paid subscription by using poor security arguments.

> what is valuable depends a lot on context and the point in life of a particular project+team+organization.

For sure, and I only target companies or teams that are mature, struggle to move forward because code quality grinds things down to a halt, and that express the desire for improvement there.

However, there are very few companies that 1. Even have the awareness to realize this is where they’re at, and 2. Actually mean it. I’ve been passed over many times in favour of someone else who ships code quickly and cheaply by lowering quality. Every place I’ve ever worked at, quality is the least concern in relation to the others.

Now for a startup that has limited runway and has to find product market fit for example then it’s totally different. Focus rightly is on shipping stuff at the expense of quality because survival is on the line. In a few years, once this company has made it, they’ll look for someone to clean their codebase up.

My broader question though is whether I should keep branding myself as a “code cleaner”. Despite a (minority) of companies advertising positions for that skill, my experience has been that the vast majority simply don’t care. And those that do, don’t actually care all that much. It’s a struggle though because I get no satisfaction from shipping low quality code and eventually end up quitting out of boredom or frustration. I’m now at a point where I’m considering doing something entirely different from programming because I can’t derive any job satisfaction from writing low quality code and the resulting constant firefighting that results from it.
