> I don't have to miss birthdays or holidays anymore

Interesting, my experience is the same except for this point.

I feel like I never leave work now, I'm so stressed out I don't feel like I can properly socialize. When I'm not "working" I'm still trying to keep up with the latest tech, make sure I'm a competitive candidate and can get another job if I don't have one tomorrow (and I haven't felt any sense of security with my job for 3 years).

Contrasting with service industry, I never missed birthdays; even if I had to show up at the tail end of the party sometimes, I showed up in a good mood and was generally excited for all the fun things I did in life outside of work.

Yes, the pay wasn't as good, but I was much happier. I did get pretty lucky to never get sexually abused or a gun brandished on me at work though, I know that happens to people as well (though let's not kid ourselves and pretend sexual abuse doesn't happen in the tech industry as well)

Also, the only time I've ever been physically struck by a superior was in a tech job (in Canada believe it or not). It was a light slap and after work drinks, but still, there are problems in all industries (and I slapped him back)

Not really. They delivered exactly what the biggest demographic group at the time wanted. Which is... Exactly what you expect in a democracy with a particularly large voter bloc...
I imagine this is exactly what they put into their perf reviews at the time. Doesn’t mean it’s causal, or that those things wouldn’t have happened anyway, for a much lower cost.

It's interesting to think about how the optimal strategy to land the lander would look like.

If the distance to the moon was large, I would expect 4 phases:

1: Turn the lander towards the moon

2: Constant thrust towards the moon

3: Turn the lander away from the moon

4: Constant thrust away from the moon

But if the initial distance is small enough, turning it around might not be worth it or even possible.

So the optimal strategy is probably a somewhat complex function of the initial angle and distance to the moon.
Leaving aside a moment the unexpected threaded fork issue mentioned I am thinking putting all the data to be shared among the processes into Redis would at least be a lot better than the clumsiness of pickling and unpickling.

I learned a similar lesson outside of tech... with low wage employees. Often people would have problems dealing with our employee's and complain, but if we dug a bit deeper, it was very often an issue with training, manuals, high turnover, or managers not being good at setting expectations.

I think we’re agreeing here?

Language models of the size of SD produce literally useless output. SD can produce kind of fun output that people can make use of sometimes?
Yes, you can’t extract it, the Secure Enclave can just create a key and has it to sign stuff.

You can never actually grab it or access it for backing up, so it shouldn’t be your only way of accessing a server, there should be another authorised key that you do have access to.

Yeah. I liked most of G+, I like the current state of unified login, but oh boy. Those early unified login things were horrifyingly poorly done. Buggy, unfitting of how people used their systems, it was a disaster and I think it's a big part of why G+ failed.
When I looked into battery storage a couple of years ago to go along with rooftop solar, it was still far from making sense economically. The number of years it would take me to recoup my investment on a battery was something like 15 to 20 years - longer than the typical warranty on a battery. (Note that I don't live in sunny California).

With electricity prices increasing, and many power companies paying less for electricity fed back into the grid, it will certainly make storage batteries more appealing. But I suspect they are still too expensive to make financial sense in many regions.

And once a significant percentage of households have installed battery storage, I expect power companies will start raising their flat service fees to ensure they can keep earning their sweet, sweet profits.
As Gerry Weinberg wrote in Secrets of Consulting, "No matter how it looks at first, it's always a people problem."

It's situations like this that keep getting me sucked into management issues. I join something just wanting to build good stuff. But the problems are so rarely technical ones.

I remember once when a friend of mine had joined a company with terrible bug problems. They brought me in to solve a particularly nasty one where a key client's key users were having regular web app failures that presented as network issues. And also to give them my take on the devs. After a week of late nights, I discovered that certain versions of IE had weird Keep-Alive behaviors, which then had a bad interaction with their load balancers and their web servers. I changed some configurations so the older IE versions had each HTTP collection closed immediately, which was slightly slower but always worked. Victory achieved, thorn pulled from paw, etc, etc.

That sounded like as technical a problem as they come. But the root causes were really people problems. The key client was a large company with an IT department that was overloaded and underfunded, so lots of users were stuck on ancient Windows versions. And my friend's company had a salesperson as a CEO, one who would promise new features to close deals without ever checking with the development team. They were massively overloaded. They had to ship and ship and ship, leaving no time for testing or debugging or polishing. They were just drowning in bugs, so the CEO thought they were bad developers. But given time and room, they could have figured it out just as well.

So I told my friend the developers were great; it was the dysfunctional relationship between the CEO and the overstuffed backlog that was the problem. I never heard how it turned out, but I have my suspicions.

It was 1873. People spoke and wrote differently - usually more verbosely. It also depends what context the quote has been lifted from. I think your version is excellent if you're 'trying' to write a new aphorism or idiom. But perhaps this formed part of a longer passage where its clauses felt more 'necessary'.
InstructGPT (which ChatGPT/GPT-3.5) is based on was trained from scratch:

It does use the same model architecture as GPT-3 though so I guess there is a bit of reasoning there maybe.

Hah! My first thought was, "Oh, is their plan this time to give the playbook to Microsoft?"

I confess that the current ChatGPT hype wave leaves me feeling cold. A lot of people are obviously excited about it. But then, a lot of people have been excited about VR and blockchains, and I'm still waiting to see significant uptake. I have to wonder if this is another area where it's more sci-fi driven novelty hypnosis than the beginning of a revolution.
I don't think it's an internet phenomenon. It's a human phenomenon. It doesn't matter if it's a conversation or a piece in a newspaper (c.f. the Gell-Mann amnesia effect).
If you listen to the people who have done this before (e.g. read/listen to indie hackers), Reddit/HN is very hit/miss.

Only thing seems to consistently work is Twitter - and then you should REALLY be building public if you have no audience so that you can build one. Have you tried this? If not, and you've been building in stealth mode, you've missed out on an opportunity but you can still start now.

You are figuring out so much stuff in an area without expert - make a Twitter post every day about what new problem you solved and you will quickly find a following as you establish authority in this new field. So many people are learning from each other about this stuff, it doesn't take much to become an expert.

I've been going through all the Indie Hackers podcasts. Consider listening to Indie hackers #008 or #009, I think they specifically talk about bootstrapping an audience from nothing.

You may even find people are more interested in an educational product from you than your service, and pivot, for instance.

The (strong?) electromagnetic fields from these cables must have some impact on marine systems, and I bet we don't well understand what that impact will be.

Years or decades later we may trace some significant change in marine systems back to this source, and then we may decide that the cost was much greater than the benefit. We have a habit of making decisions for short term gain and intentionally downplaying the potential risks...

Even short term, I wouldn't be surprised if Portugal felt the impact within one decade, as they are very dependent on fishing along their coast.
Does anyone have good pointers on if/how systems design can be applied on a smaller scale in software engineering and API design? Granted, that would by definition exclude some very important factors on company level, but then, they are out of reach for me anyway.

EDIT: I realized that the above sounds like using SD to solve technical issues, but I meant to ask specifically about using SD to guide things like evolution and usage of a software architecture or API.
> Just because piracy is possible doesn’t mean they should make it as easy as it can be for users.

The hurdles only exist for the people who are paying them. It makes piracy more attractive relative to paying, by making the experience you get when you pay worse.

> They clear think it’s worth it.

They're corporations. Management is under pressure to be seen doing something about piracy and the DRM vendors saw an opportunity to sell them some snake oil.

That claim was never made, but by you. The claim was, Minsky had practical experience and wrote about experiences with gradient descend (aka "hill climbing") and problems of locality in a paper published Jan. 1961.

On the other hand: who invented "hill climbing"? You've contributed nothing to the question, you've posed (which was never mine, nor even an implicit part of any claims made).

It's unfortunate; this statement will probably never be true due to the privatization of research and corporatization of these technologies.

AI will more likely have a profoundly negative effect than a positive one.
I've been having this fight recently at work.

We're implementing a new (cloud) platform that's pretty central to our primary business. Some sub-projects have already spun off, before we had even decided how to set up and maintain the platform, because I said to meet the timeline we need to focus on more broad, general integrations first.

The decision was, instead, to bring in additional developers whom several months later we're still helping learn the APIs and troubleshoot problems (amidst the rest of our integration tasks).

Meanwhile a few weeks ago, I finally got the go-ahead and a DBA's time to do the integration I wanted. We've got a live database of 90-some tables dumped from the platform, including everything these projects are fetching (but with a greater delay between updates), accessible to the entire org. Reporting teams and business analyst are already writing queries to drive the services they need, freeing up our developers to work on other tasks.

A good API can provide very rapid, very specialized development; which is great when that development _is_ your business and so you're paying developers to keep up with it, or it's not so important that is kept up on (personal projects, prototypes, and temporary services). And a well designed and managed API shouldn't change _that_ much _that_ frequently.

But ignoring that an external API is always something you don't control and needs to be maintained is a costly mistake I've seen my org fall into over and over again.

Yes! But do occasionally fall on a grenade for your team. Pull one 12 hour day to get a deployment plan just right, to check that one last rollback scenario, etc. Plan 8 hours for a bug and then follow it for 24, if the rabbit hole it takes you into is important. Develop the discernment to be able to say "this is where I'm going to overwork one time this quarter". And say it, literally out loud if you need to.

You need to be able to look yourself in the mirror and say, "my boss counts on me" before you can go and tell him the same thing.

The brain is composed of distinct regions that specialise in specific tasks. It's reasonable to assume AGI would be the same.

So the goal should be: we've created a "language module" (LLMs) and a "visual perception module" (computer vision), but we also need to add a "logic module", a "reasoning module", an "empathy module", etc, while continuing to improve each.

I just don't see how you could get an LLM, no matter how advanced, to recognize a car. Even if it can describe cars (wheels, windshield, doors) it doesn't know what any of those components look like. It's like that old joke about philosophers being unable to define a chair beyond "I'll know it when I see it".

For what it's worth, I agree with you and feel those examples are indeed emblematic of our current economic mode.

The "alternative" you envision is premised on shifting power back to the masses, but I think it's also important to mention guardrails to prevent excessive capital accumulation. There would still be an economy, but it would be driven by a more egalitarian aggregate demand and less likely to suffer the shocks of boom bust cycles associated with financial malarkey.
