It’s unlikely we are close to the peak IMO - the rate of improvement and discoveries appears to be increasing rather than decreasing, implying that we are still at the start of the curve.

Progress doesn’t usually immediately stop, you would expect it to slowly flatten.

It will absolutely need to be combined with other breakthroughs - but this is already happening. There are architectures in the works that allow AI agents to perform accurate calculations, search the internet, and check knowledge graphs.

Then there is a whole raft of technologies yet to emerge which will embed this into real world work flows, which hasn’t really started happening in a significant way yet (bits and bobs but not to where it will inevitably will be).

I just can’t see a world where there isn’t more progress in these technologies - I don’t know if they will be a ‘good’ thing or not for society as we know it, however with the rate of change at the moment we are unlikely to be anywhere near the destination of where the train goes.
Do you mean to imply legal precedents are never overturned?

Because that doesn't sound like an argument anyone would intentionally make.

True, but I think this is totally fine and expected. We’re in an experimentation phase — a new discovery has been made, and everyone is experimenting, poking around, and testing it out. This is the only way we figure out what it will be good at (and what it will bad at!) Someone has an idea, tries to come up with a way for GPT to execute it and succeeds or fails. Along the way, we start developing better techniques and answers to the question, “what is it really useful for?”

And in a while, we’ll know a lot more. But right now, we’re learning and discovering. IMO, this is a useful lens for viewing the news around Chat GPT. (Well, more useful than saying “it’s the future!” or “it’s useless” or “it’ll be the end of us!”)
> Inflation was there all along in asset prices

“Inflation”, unqualified, means consumer price inflation. Asset price inflation is a completely different thing, with slightly overlapping potential causes, and completely different effects.

> What the Fed is doing with this move is patching the balloon and preventing a deflation. That is, bank has a run on deposits because people want their money back; bank is out of liquid cash; bank sells bonds/MBS that have mark-to-market less than par thus realizing losses.

Systemic firesales that drop asset prices aren’t “a deflation”, because, like inflation, unqualified “deflation” refers to consumer price deflation.
Meta: I find it impossible to absorb any information from an Axios story. The bullet-pointed 'just the facts' style seems to be fundamentally incompatible with how I consume information. I think a big part of the problem is that their writers are required to shoehorn a fairly normal style of prose into bullets, and it just makes things feel disjointed.
Not just birds, they're a universal "fuck with me and you will regret it" indicator in nature.

I believe you might be a manager. One term frequently associated with managers is "leadership." True leadership involves being able to guide someone by saying, "Let me demonstrate the proper way to do this, so you can learn from it." In my current role, although my "leadership professional" may not know how to perform my job for an entire day, they always have "valuable advice" to offer though
People often want to change the world, well… here it is.
> > Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week. This requires further study, but our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively.

I don't doubt that people earlier in their career work better with more senior people at arms length to help them. Hell, I experienced a bit of that my first few months at a new job where I struggled to understand processes.

But after a period of time, I got it. Sure it took longer, but I got there.

Now, I get less work done in the office because people spend time socializing, and more importantly, the workstation is not customized to my liking because of this whole satellite desk situation.

I'll say this: If these companies tanked during the height of Covid, they'd blame it on WFH. Of course, the financial performance for these companies was quite good, so now that there's a bit of correction, they search for reasons to bring employees back to the office.
Be fair, they've laughed at uncountably many "money printer go brrrr" memes, so they're board certified as economists now.
Yes. The manager managed 6+ teams. They had decades of industry experience and were very good at.. Management? dealing with project scope, knowing what clients would find useful, when to change direction etc.

Managing a team is realistically not a full time job.

He did not write any code or independently make technical decisions nor act as a mentor or senior dev or anything like that. He used to write code, so could follow technical discussions but he wasnt some topdog 10xer. He just managed and he was good at it. Since he was involved in many concurrent projects he also knew the organization and talent very well
I just never understood how come “tech” companies never used the same concept used within their products, async communications!! Sync communication is a blocking one, you need to block all involved parties to discuss X that most of the times is useless, just use async ones, I email/text/or even video record when I have the time, and you respond when you do, not really that hard!

There is a pretty decent YouTube community of guys flying these bush planes around. They fly in to meetups at some pretty fascinating places usually in the middle of nowhere.

> Which would that be?

Probably those sites that "zero toxicity" people declared toxic and mandated to exclude from the fediverse where everyone is welcome. I remember this discussion a while ago and it was one of the main reasons I lost my interest in Mastoson (second being I see no reason to try to fit my thoughts into the format of one yell - I prefer more deliberate discourse) - it felt like they are too much concerned with exclusion rather than inclusion. There are tools to ensure you don't fail to block something that all right thinking people are blocking: https://github.com/Anthchirp/mastodon-defederate
AI is not magic, neither is capital for that matter. To perform any function in the world, it needs some type of physical form or device to do so. These devices take capital to manufacture and maintain. They're also vulnerable to intentional damage. There are obvious limits.
> Why is it supposed to be problematic for the metric to favor or skew towards one over the other?

It's akin to asking whether a weightlifter or a marathon runner is more athletic. If I'm measuring athleticism by one's max jogging distance, that'll disproportionately favor the runner. If I'm measuring athleticism by one's single-rep max deadlift, that'll disproportionately favor the weightlifter.

This ain't problematic per se; I might have good reason for measuring athleticism by a skewed metric (for example, because I'm the coach of a track & field team and therefore need runners more than I do weightlifters). However, if that was the case then I'd probably be explicit about that when presenting my findings rather than simply using running distance as a proxy for general athleticism.

Likewise, Facebook might have good reasons to use metrics that inherently prefer in-person work and/or exclude metrics that inherently prefer remote work, but without knowing what those metrics even are (let alone why they were chosen), it's impossible to say whether findings based on those metrics are actually applicable to any organization other than Meta as it exists at this very moment.
Yeah. This makes perfect sense if you consider it to be an interpreter for natural language that has a really good macro facility.
CS is about Computer Science, not programming. The foundational courses should be in math, physics, statistics, calculus, proofs, algorithms, complexity, type systems, theorems, computability, etc.

Learning how to use SQL is more of a trade school course.

I have a BS, Bachelor of Science. The foundational classes were math, math, math, math, and more math. There were no classes in how to operate a machine tool. I befriended the guy who ran the machine shop that built apparatus for the scientists, and he taught me how to run the machines. But that wasn't a class, it was just something I did on my own initiative.
> Those with a different worldview are cut off from the fediverse

I find this happens most often to people with a worldview that is objectively incompatible with civilization.
We came to the US with a few suit cases and had to abandon all property in our home country. In general, many immigrants move to start over due to the relative lack of opportunity at home, whether due to politics, crime, economy, whatever.

I do agree with the original point. Nowadays, most STEM PhD students at top US schools are immigrants. When I look at the work, delayed gratification, etc, native Americans forgoing a STEM PhD seems a rather rational choice. Starting a company feels like a similar decision.. a lot of pain for statistically low gain.

Gradual incremental changes until there is suddenly an explosion of change and adoption, if the PC and Internet are anything to go by.

In my view it will probably change the way we work to a large extent in 10 years, and tech work will probably be entirely different in 30 years, but like you say these are impossible things to know and an intelligent person could entirely disagree.

Are you saying that you presume the inequality is the natural state of things? What are you basing that on? A world with governments and corporations that are capable of squashing the populace? Do you ever wonder what influence this has?
I get co ops from first and second tier schools and they usually join lacking a lot of fundamentals of CS.

However in my experience most of them pick things up relatively quickly and end up becoming good engineers and reliable team players.

At a BSc level with no experience we should be looking for genuine curiosity, motivation and interest in learning and solving hard problems.

Everything else can be taught.

We have even expanded our program to include interns with degrees in other areas of science such as mathematics, physics, materials and mechanical engineering, some with very little programming experience, with great results.

Our objective is always to hire them and retain them, so we do invest plenty of resources in training them well.

SVB had two main risks:

1. Their despositors were overwhelmingly in tech, which meant they had tons of spare cash they needed to park when interests rates were low and VC money was plentiful, but would presumably need to pull that cash back out later when conditions changed. SVB was founded in 1983, and was presumably well aware that conditions in tech could change, which leads to the conclusion that they were just gambling that things wouldn't change.

2. They had parked an unusually high percentage of that depositor cash in long dated treasuries, which were vulnerable to having their value decline if interests rates rose. Again, SVB was founded in 1983, and was well aware that interests rates hadn't always been roughly zero, and presumably wouldn't always remain so. Again, presumably this was just a gamble that things wouldn't change.

Are we to believe that SVB just totally missed these and, critically, that the reason was because they were all working remotely? Like, the risk management committee would have met, gone "wow, we should hedge our interest rate risk", and then they would have done that and there would have been no issues, but they were all trying to use Amazon Chime, and the sound just wasn't working for like, two years straight, so no hedging was done? The chief risk officer would have done their job, but they had to answer the door because a tradesman was fixing the plumbing...?

What about the horrible ways they communicated with stakeholders as problems mounted? Did remote work cause that tone deaf "don't panic" statement? What about all that lobbying SVB did to reduce how strictly regulated they were? Is the story that if there hadn't been so much remote work, then somehow they would have NOT done that? ...why? Like just mechanically, how is that meant to have worked?

If your story is "our execs will gamble the company away making bad interest rate bets unless their colleagues are physically there to prevent them", I don't think this is really making the executive team sound better!

GPT-4 (depending on which model and whether you look at prompt vs. response tokens) is between 15 and 60 times the cost per token of GPT-3.5.

Also, GPT-4 API is doing a slow roll-out, so unless you’ve been granted access, you may not have access to it at all.

I would agree that these tools are almost inevitably going to fail. If anything, they'll only improve the models' abilities to handle edge cases accurately.

However, I'm surprised at how little empathy is being displayed towards artists by so many here. Having a model train itself on your work is not the same as having another human being inspired by or even copying your work, despite the fact that both involve some sort of learning.

I am not an artist but I build all my solo programming projects "in the open". My programs are mostly niche stats models, and frequently people message me with questions and ask for help integrating my work into their software. I'm happy to do so. I don't care if they credit me in their final product, but knowing that humans went through my work and took time to appreciate it is a big motivator for me. I would imagine that many artists feel similarly.

On the other hand, knowing that OpenAI, Github/Copilot, etc, train models on my work and turn it into some pay-to-play API, without a human ever seeing my work during the whole process is a nasty feeling. At that point, I've just been turned into faceless cog to generate profits for big tech shareholders. Luckily, these are just side projects for me and I can just make these repos private, but of course artists are forced to "build in the open" by the very nature of their work.
But what do you call a query? I've seen joins described as 'advanced' in some places.
Seeing as Kissinger is still alive and a free man, my money's on no.

"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević." ― Anthony Bourdain

You’re right of course but I think the more likely cause will be typical. A policy misstep, political scandal, protests, external factors etc. The PAP will be booted out democratically if it happens at all.
You seem to think the industry needs a perfectly effective counter to those risks, no matter the cost. You don't seem at all willing to consider that your proposed solution may be impractical or more of a problem than what you're seeking to solve. You're also refusing to accept the long-standing status quo as evidence that the problem is actually fairly manageable without the solution you claim is unavoidable.

So overall, it's pretty clear your original question of why the industry isn't working toward that kind of solution was not an honest question you wanted answered, but merely a rhetorical opening for you to preach your cause.

Well, I see it costing jobs today. It might not accelerate, even if the tech stays like this (which it won't, even if we 'only scale').
My experience as a manager before and after WFH is that WFH:

1) makes it actually clearer what is delivered and by whom

2) requires more from the manager to make sure the right stake holders are communicating efficiently and employees are satisfied - doable but more work load for managers and requires more experience from them

I think #2 is that companies are actually struggling with. It is not about the workers productivity (which generally increases by WFH), it is about the managers comfort, skills and experience.
