I think it has to do with headcount requirements once you're Google scale too. Leetcode style interviews become yet another "process to avoid disaster at a big company". Disaster here means hiring a bad engineer and then having to fire them for performance reasons or whatever. Google's whole concept of hiring committees like it was graduate school also reinforces this. They probably do this to minimize nepotism at the hiring stage.

All these processes become items on a hiring checklist, but to your point, it doesn't guarantee hiring a great engineer. Just one of those tragedies embedded alongside other big co bureaucracy processes.
That's not my experience at all. Copilot consistently creates implementations that are very specific to my app and manages to understand the context and problem surface spanning many files. It's not just getting a standard problem and pulls an answer from Stack Overflow.
>The same reason Corporations have personhood, it makes investors money.

Yeah obviously, but it doesn't answer my question of why can't we regulate them out of the housing market?

"It makes investors money" is not a good answer because a lot of nefarious things used make investors money, like slavery, child labor, 16h workdays, warmongering, snake oil, using asbestos or other toxic substances that kill you, building shoddy buildings that can collapse on you, drugs, polluting cars, alcohol, opioids, tobacco, fossil fuels, dumping toxic chemicals in rivers, deforestation, Ponzi schemes, and yet in most of the west we have regulated a lot of them or even outlawed some of them completely for the greater good because what's good for the investors isn't always good for humanity or for the environment.

So why can't we do the same with housing? Tell institutional investors to fuck off with their bags of money somewhere else. Let them speculate on NFTs, famous paintings or Pokémon cards for all I care.

>An 82 year old lady, with 42 properties.

My point exactly. It's obvious that for basic human necessities like water, shelter and healthcare we can't just leave it to the free market competition to sort itself out, since over time it creates a system of winners and losers, where few who lucked out end up monopolizing the majority of the market share and defaulting to rentseeking, while the rest are left out completely, with no hope of ever being able to jump on board and forced to rent their whole lives.

This rampant inequality is what led to the communists seizing power ~100 years ago, and despite being only ~30 years since communism collapsed in Europe, communism is on the rise again in elections in some EU countries especially among young people because the last 20-30 years of deregulated globalized capitalism has seen the biggest and quickest wealth transfer from the working class to the upper class ever seen.

I've been using vim for many years but I think the real reason is a sort of peer pressure. Vim and emacs are tremendously dated.

For example the main concepts in vim, which are generally evangelized by vim users, modes and

> There’s no going back. Apple could have made a difference by enforcing iOS UI guidelines more strongly in the early days of the platform, but that opportunity was lost. The web remains beyond hope as even the most basic UI components are constantly reinvented by graphic designers wielding Figma because the browser is a useless UI platform.

I can't help but to wonder what UI that's designed for maximum usability and familiarity would look like. Something extremely boring and functional, perhaps close to the old Windows looks, before they had a bunch of different design systems in the same OS.

Perhaps a vaguely modern project like this would be something like SerenityOS: https://serenityos.org/

Or, for something more mainstream, I think Linux with XFCE and one of the Redmond themes comes close, but then again lots of software doesn't conform to that (e.g. anything that's based on Electron): https://www.xfce-look.org/find?search=redmond

That said, the Wise design looks appropriate when compared with the current state of the rest of the industry and the color contrast compliance is nice.
You sound doubtful over your claim.
You are still wrong. The renter must obtain permission from the landlord prior to subletting and must substantiate legitimate interest. Not doing so is a breach of contract and can ultimately lead to termination of your rental contract. If the landlord does not grant permission your only option is to sue.

While legitimate interest is interpreted broadly, it doesn‘t mean „anything goes“. „I want to earn money on a cheap rental contract that I can sublet for more money“ is not legitimate interest. The legitimate interest must also be rooted in something that occurred after you signed the rental contract. „I can‘t afford this flat, so I‘ll still sign the rental contract and then sublet“ will not create a legitimate interest that requires your landlord to grant the permission. „My income situation has deteriorated after signing the contract“ has better chances of passing the test. Some examples of what does and doesn‘t constitute legitimate interest here https://www.mietrecht.org/untervermietung/berechtigtes-inter...

The landlord can also deny the request if they have an overriding interest, for example if they expect that the sublet would disturb the community in the building.

Contrast that with where permission is not required, for example having a second job. The only requirement is that you must notify your employer. You don‘t need to substantiate anything. The only option for your employer is to deny this on very narrow grounds. If they don‘t respond to your notification within reasonable time, you‘re in the clear. This is fundamentally different from the required legal procedure when subletting.
I mean, sure, you can demand it. And people are just going to make up sources. It’s not like they have a gun held up to their head to ensure that demand is followed.

> People can and do use it as a tool for plagiarism while trying to hide behind a layer of plausible deniability provided by the "black box" of the model. This cannot be allowed to continue. This is why we need to push back, just as the GP is doing.

This is absolutely preposterous. People are going to lie and plagiarize whether they have a chat bot do it for them or not. The existence of a chat bot isn’t going to be the make or break in this equation and if anything, the people using it for that purpose should be rightfully vilified rather than the tool.

Reddit definitely has promoted content and native advertising. Perhaps you're not seeing it because you're using the far superior old.reddit.com?
I'm opposite: I'll start talking, correct myself, let myself be led by my conversation partner's answer and reach a conclusion. It's like rubberduck debugging for arguments.

If you ask me a question now, it must be a very exceptional one if I'm still thinking about it in 2 min.

For this reason I am really poor at making a presentation or writing IP by myself. I seek out others. My thoughts sort of go on repeat all by myself. It's annoying.

Maybe I also want to impress others, right then and there, and by myself there is little motivation.

Right now I should be working on a presentation for tomorrow, but I procrastinate. But I could easily whip it out if I were to discuss the stuff I want to tell with someone and jot down slides as we talk.

not completely wrong.

ime in the case of the cookie law, most ppl didn't actually bother to go into details and just took the word on the street and some existing 'solution' and called it a day since everybody was doing it this way and sales/executives were pleased.

fact remains: cookie banner is _not_ necessary for logins and most existing banners are outright illegal since 'no' is not an easily accessible option

> my original thought was that the prompt above with the characteristic Quake III Q_ naming is enough to push it into a corner where the path is reduced to just one possibility

This is what people mean when they say it copy pastes things. It doesn't literally go to the source code, press ctrl-c and then ctrl-v that to you, nobody believes it did.

And the model does this a lot, as I said the reason it doesn't do that all the time is that they train it not to. And the quake code example got such a big deal that they started to hard code it to not return that, but that doesn't mean it never does that for other things, just that this particular example is now "fixed".

It's only a matter of time until companies start posting in Reddit to fake good user experience. For example, who the hell knows who mr fart32snap is on this reddit discussion thread talking about good cheap microphone? I don't doubt there's already some of these out there.

IMO, the only way this can ever be truly fixed is to have a 1 to 1 mapping between a person and their online personality. An account and their posts need to actually have a weight. It need to actually matter what an account's history is across the web.

I think this is what blockchain is supposed to solve. It is not fast and efficient enough for all the small monetary transactions. But surely is good enough for blogs or things like that?
I never understood how Reddit isn’t an advertising powerhouse. Their users literally voluntarily segregate by interest, but the proper tech never got built out. Last I checked they integrated a 3rd party solution for that.

> Do you have reading comprehension problems?

No, I don't.

> it's about not standing intentionally with passengers wasting their time by design

If you've ever taken a train, you could know that they might arrive on the track even hours before their departure, and passengers who are early are often welcome board and get settled.

Now we have people inside that are just waiting instead of travelling… Exactly the situation you have been describing.

No. The problem lies with the writer, not the readers.

The worst is the SEO pages, especially for popular how-to topics. Every single first page result will be a page that has expanded what used to be said in bullet point form, into a 1500 word essay that you must now slog through in order to get the information you need. And this is by necessity, because Google values prose over bullet points.

The majority of things that come up on search nowadays consist of computer-generated essays. The only way around this is to limit your search to Reddit. And I fear that soon Reddit will be flooded with AI generated fluff to take advantage of the residual "real-user" SEO.
> Reddit was

Yes, it was somewhat good in the past but an alternative is sorely needed. Most popular subs (at least the one I frequent) are moderated to the point that censored would be the more appropriate word to describe the situation. Then there are whole subs banned (including non political) for wrongthink.
Yes, but the non magic square is inspired by the magic square and such games are everywhere. Just buy a random puzzle book and you find pages and pages of puzzles with "make the numbers add up to these columns and rows", because they are very easy to make.

Point about magic square is that every culture invents games like that, it is one of the most basic puzzle ideas humans have, I don't see how ChatGPT can't have that in its training set.

Re: from the article on sexualization of women by Lensa:

> Funnily enough, I found more realistic portrayals of myself when I told the app I was male.

While I don’t disagree that AI has gender biases, the author doesn’t acknowledge how the gender selection works on Lensa. It’s the human prompt engineers who decided what to do with the male/female checkbox.
I regard this as a pure propaganda article with little authentic information at all.

The article starts with false premises that twitter users asked for protection. This might be something for public personas but in that case the general rules of PR do apply as they have applied since forever. It just is easier to put yourself out there today. Doing so without the necessary education can be quite daunting indeed, but it is a personal decision. It is of course in the interest of social media platforms that many people do.

Still, I prefer a troll to a nudge. It is probably a matter of preference, but in the context of click-farmers like social media networks, a nudge can be seen quite critically. That trolls are seen as more honest than advertisers is a form of indictment as well.

I have fallen for trolls too, but I don't see them endangering my safety at all. Making me believe otherwise would actually be one of their goals in the first place.

I think journalism and political actors did get a bit too close to certain people at social media companies. Their reporting lacks distance and neutrality. We had an ample demonstration on topics like Covid. I would not want to see this war on information repeated. This wasn't trolls, it was established media who is at fault here. And it wasn't the more "exotic" opinions on vaccines either. The most dangerous thing we saw was the consolidation of an allegedly scientific community by voices o. I believe the latter has suffered quite some loss in trust. In this case it isn't entirely justified but it is in cases where a consensus was allegedly established.

> Overall 60% of users deleted or edited their reply when given a chance through the nudge

I don't believe nudge is the correct word if users have to fear that the platform might sanction their comments in one way or another.

> now fewer people with the knowledge to effectively escalate concerns about this content with law enforcement.

Great? Don't know if that was received correctly, but that closeness to law enforcement might not be appreciated.
Another option is a trust network. We already have that within the social networks but not across them. I also don't mind trusting a bot that has a cohesive brand across the networks - there's no need for it to be human as long as I can untrust it.
There will be a lot less during the pandemic, and there is only one example next to me. But I estimate that it will increase later. As for how many children a family has, it is not too related to economic conditions, but more to the perception of both husband and wife, pressure from parents, or the influence of people around you (if your friends and colleagues around you have two children, and everyone advises you to have another one, you are likely to change your mind, especially in villages and small towns). In big cities, relationships are a little simpler. ）
Do you happen to have handy a good article about these 2 way calls?
They already are (and are in trouble for that). The problem is not their refusal to accept foreigners but rather they are not fixing the real problem (low birth rates). You can fix the problem by increasing supply, creating new cities or satellite cities, etc… and they are not having superb growth either. The solution can be easily fixed.

Most of Western cities are in a “failed state”. The US is a prime example of that. Japan, while quite functional, is also quite expensive to have kids in. I think Japan will be the Western state that fared the best out of all the Western countries. The US is definitively the worst: Being quite expensive while also quite dysfunctional, and with a bonus: high crime rate.
Blame the sites than needs to have a million cookies.
The biggest form of this advertising isn't actually done with the knowledge of Reddit. Organizations use Reddit accounts to astroturf narratives together, since Reddit is pseudonymous. Companies who need better PR, or just a good controversy, can do this much more cheaply on Reddit than any other internet forum.

Still, the high-quality advice on Reddit that is authentic can be the most useful stuff on the internet.

Truth is, it's all astroturfing all the way, all the web. Even reddit.

Disclaimer: I work at Google but not on search. My views are my own, etc.
I saw the update to the web app last night. Didn't touch the mobile app much, but the web app had an extreme makeover.

The old web app was spartan and utilitarian. The new design looks faddish, CashApp-style - creepy bling icons floating in space everywhere. They've removed familiar and useful UI and replaced it with 1000x1000 spunky skeuomorphic splash icons that blink in and out of existence with every user action.

Want to talk about accessibility? All the new javascript added to run the animations probably breaks a bunch of browsers.

It slowed me down.
I think framing this in terms of the author is the wrong way. Dahl doesn't care that his wishes are not being respected, because he's dead. It's society at large that is being damaged by these changes. Really, rewriting old copyright works while removing access to the old versions (wether approved by the original author or not) goes against the copryight deal: to incentivize creation by granting a limited time monopoly. If that monopoly is used to remove a work or version of it then that's a break of that contract and we should legally recognize such breaches by removing absolving the other side of the monopoly. Remember that once shared, creative works are not the property of the author alone but of everyone.
>Once we're talking about services, if you're not willing or able to operate the service yourself (at the scale you need...) then the open core seems pretty useless as a check on the company's ability to squeeze you for more cash.

But if you aren't willing, then the service provides value and if you aren't able to, then there is the conflict of interest in that the opencore company might sabotage scaling the opensource version but if we ignore that possibility (after all, you should simply avoid the product, if the opensource version is inferior) then you are again paying for the value of someone else taking care of your problems.

Calling this "squeezing" is strange.

> It’s like asking it to write a poem and getting the same exact poem from a random google search.

No, it's not. A better comparison would be a poem that feels the same as an existing one and using the same prose but with its own words. Or any musical plagiarism dispute where the song is clearly different but similar enough that it needs to be decided by court. ChatGPT is not just copypasting a puzzle game here.
Astroturfing on reddit has been a thing for a long time. Try looking for a backpack, wallet, watch etc.. all top posts have a very "sponsored content" smell.
For someone trying to show that a chat bot could not possibly have generated this specific game on its own because it already exists, you kind of have to show that it already exists.

All that you’ve done is shown that similar types of puzzles exist. Which, I mean, is kind of the point of a generative AI.

“Games like this” exist. Does this specific game exist?
> A proficient developer would be able to develop this same app to the same level (once they have the idea) in a couple of hours without ChatGPT too.

How does it put up a barrier to rent seekers, it makes homes less affordable, which impacts the poorer people more. The rich can but the homes. The poor still need somewhere to live and so tent the homes, they're paying more just they're helping wealth move to the bankers more as well as the property owners.

Allowing ownership of houses as an investment is just wrong. (The usual response to this is that you need investors or housing won't be built. The idea no-one would pay for a house to be built is silly, but we also have not-for profit housing associations.)
