Only sometimes, like when someone ODed or tried to sell right in public. And of course that didn't do much if any good overall because Vancouver didn't do anything else that Portugal does - like limiting the almost endless supply of cheap fentanyl. Even when they seized drugs it was a mere matter of minutes and a few dollars to get more.

Vancouver/BC didn't have decent recovery programs, and not enough capacity even in the bad programs, and critically - no legal capacity to force someone into them even if they did. People can be detained for up to 72hrs and "dried out" but that merely lets some of the detox pass, it's not at all related to kicking the drug and recovering from addiction. Even when they want to be clean the city usually houses them in a drug hotel where peer pressure drags them back in.

Arrest and seizure are valid tactics, Portugal proves it, despite Vancouver failing to apply them properly as part of a holistic program.

Notably, the payments were split up to hide them from regulators. A single large payment is much easier to detect than a bunch of small payments disguised as lawyer fees. It's important to punish premeditated, deliberate attempts to circumvent the law harder by charging every single instance where they did so.

> It’s not just that it’s a big spend, but it’s a big spend on something 75% of people don’t use even if you did it.

Improving infrastructure for bikes in a serious, not-just-paint-on-a-road kind of way would result in higher density, which is also better for walking, scooters, public transport - basically _all_ forms of transport aside from cars. It would likely _reduce_ costs on infra in the long run, by virtue of having less paved area that has to be maintained.

> But for the other 80% of America, who are old enough that simply falling off of a bike could cause real injuries,

Encouraging greater mobility through walking or biking would likely result is lower obesity and better health for people in general. I have two uncles that bike heavily, both 65+. Neither has ever mentioned serious injuries from biking, but both have had incidents due to having to share the road with large personal vehicles.

> live somewhere not dense enough to really get anywhere this way

That's... the issue in a nutshell and the reason to make serious adjustments to infrastructure?

> or don’t want to ride a bike in the snow, especially in a city that may not be particularly great at removing it (which is almost all but the biggest of them) we’ll still take our cars thank you.

Does investing in biking infra mean people are going to be required to bike year-around or something? Is snow even a serious consideration for the majority of the country? I'm not really understanding your point here. (Heck, I did some googling and the nordic countries do 10% of trips by bike to the US at 1%, so it seems like even countries with a lot of snow can make this work.)

> Cars may be environmentally awful, but they’re great in basically every other way, so let’s just electrify them and build lots of new clean energy and stop trying to make everyone ride a bike.

No, they aren't great in every other way. They encourage terrible urban design that works against every other common mode of transportation. They require parking, which has always been a tremendous waste of space, especially in urban cores or downtown areas. They are safer only for the people inside them, and more dangerous for everyone around that chooses to bike, walk, etc., and this goes double for the ever-larger designs rolled out in the US. Human-powered transport effectively requires reasonable limits on distance - no one is going to be making a 3 or 4 hour commute walking or biking, and yet this isn't even uncommon for places people can get to by car. Cars may be great on the individual scale, taken in isolation; their effects in volume are bad at best.
If the ticket is a direct conduit to the customer, I think you could argue that ticket management in the form of asking clarifying questions so that you build the right thing (or fix the right bug) is creating value?
i think there should be bike-highways connecting larger cities in given country so you could travel larger distances using smooth tarmac like cars do
Except that, demanding that people have solution, which is what parent did and "taking the bare minimum of time to understand a problem" are two massively different standards. The original article definitely clears the "taking bare minimum time to understand a problem" standard. Neither parent nor you are content.

> If I called out every problem with all the code I work with no one would ever get anything done, because everything is tradeoffs.

Obvious difference is that article did not complained about trivial issues. It complained about very real issues that waste massive amount of time.

> I don’t think you’re saying that you couldn’t explain why the light not working is a problem.

Adding "I do not see without light" is completely unnecessary when complaining about broken switch. There is zero need for it. Similarly, it is no mystery why issues in article are problems.

If you are unclear about why any of listed issues is a problem or disagree, you could have made that claim. But, neither parent nor you claimed not understanding that. All you want is to prevent people from talking about these issues.

Another thing people seem to forget is that Langchain can use LLMs that aren't made by OpenAI.

No, that is not what I'm suggesting.

My point is that if there isn't enough space, some drivers will try to squeeze through. Taking the lane when there isn't enough space to prevent drivers from trying to squeeze through is logical, and it works in my experience. A driver will have to wait behind me or switch lanes, rather than pass me too closely. Anecdotally, I find that when I ride down the center of the lane, drivers are much more likely to completely switch lanes (giving me plenty of space) rather than straddle two lanes (passing me too closely in the process).

If there's enough space, I don't take the lane.

Also: Cyclists aren't "in the wrong" when drivers pass them dangerously. That's 100% on the drivers. My approach is about encouraging drivers to pass safely, not passing judgement.

Look at it this way: the more effort you spend trying to cover up your crime, the more likely it is you're going to get away with it. Therefore, when crimes are discovered where people went to great lengths to cover them up, they must be charged more aggressively to act as a deterrent for people who aspire to spend a lot of effort falsifying business records.
We knew we wanted it and we figured there are more people like us out there.
But at what point does that communication cost more than just hiring somebody else who needs less hand holding and less "communication" to understand what is going on and figure out what to next.

I say this because there always seems to be those who don't need this. And it's the ones who need this who never seem to produce as much or are able to solve the problems on their own.

So I ask. If you could hire people who need this "communication" or hire people who don't need the "communication" and they both can get the job done, why would you hire those that require time consuming processes.

Good teams don't need Jira, good teams don't need power points, good teams don't need all the hand holding. These are tools to include those who can't and often bring minimal usefulness to the table.

Poor communication is code for "I have no clue what I am doing and am going to blame others for why I am not useful, but I don't want to admit to others I have no clue what I am doing.". Next time you find your self thinking somebody is poorly communicating, try this in stead. Say "Hey, I don't know what I am doing, I am lost, where can I start? More often than not this "poor communicator" is going to be able to direct you to a task that will not only make you useful, but also not require much more than 5 minutes of exchange and as a result you will probably learn something that will make you more useful in the long run.

> in my experience it has been the sub-par employees who are the ones that don't do this.

To directly call this out, the sub-par are often the ones doing all this stuff, because they simply can't do the actual work. Sub-par is probably not fair, as a good manager will build a team with a few of these folks to tend the toil. So they are useful in a way.

Also you all can think back on the time that you hired somebody and they knew more than just about everybody about how the product works and should work within just a few weeks. This person clearly did not need the documentation, they simply read the code -- the code is the documentation -- and the quicker folks stop thinking like tis anything else other than a big manual the faster they will be able to learn new code bases and become useful. The constant translation between weird human social ideas of what is good communication and a solid structured communication such as code its an incredible waste of time.

Just remember, your job is to write code to tell a computer what to do, and if you can't also read that code to figure out what the program should do, you might be computer illiterate which makes you less valuable than somebody who can both write and read code in the same manner as the systems that will consume it.

If you have ever had somebody tell you "it's like you compile the code in your head" you will know what I am talking about.

I get that YouTube and virtually all social media sites want to maximize clicks. I get that YouTube really doesn't give a rat's ass about what I want in that context: they think it's worth far more to override my preferences and add all kinds of channels to my feed than I want. But if you have direct knowledge of the algorithm, please tell me why I can watch a video to the end, then have it recommended for days, weeks, or months after, even when I have dutifully upvoted or commented. What's in it for YouTube? Just because I liked a video by Kyle Kulinsky or Jordan Peterson in 2022 doesn't mean I'm still dying to watch it in 2023. And if you want to force shit down my throat, why give up valuable screen real estate to videos I already saw?

I had to fill out a literal IQ test the other day. 15 minutes, for 50 questions, and a note that you probably won't finish them, and not to use calculator. I'm out of practice for arithmetic tricks _because I've been out of school for 20+ years_. What exactly is that supposed to test, especially under such time pressure? This was followed by a personality test (no time limit).

This is all before they even decide whether they even want to interview me.

> - On the other extreme, you have garbage consultancy/software factory work. Low quality, outdated tech, low pay, and they'll hire anybody who can demonstrate minimal expertise since they aren't interested in quality work but in selling billable hours.

I just had to pass on one of these. Not quite desperate enough to take it just yet. Time tracking software was already iffy. Having to interview again for each project was iffy. Basically, glorified contract work, but less stability. Oh, and they wanted me to screen record my tech assessment assignment.

What cinched it for me, though, was the Glassdoor reviews: they boast about their star rating on Glassdoor, but the CEO would passive-aggressively rip into negative reviews, including one that told a former employee they were wrong for having a bad experience.
We need a more sophisticated debate about the impact of the Internet. It has been a failure by any measure, especially given the high hopes we had for it back in the 1980s and 1990s. Here is productivity during the 25 years after each date on this graph:

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2023/04/04/opinion/krugman04...

Paul Krugman goes over the numbers:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/04/opinion/internet-economy....

In the 1990s we believed that once knowledge was universal and free it would lead to the biggest economic boom in history. Instead the opposite happened: the economy slowed in the early 2000s, then crashed in 2008, and then the period from 2008 to 2020 was the slowest since the Great Depression.

How to reconcile such a failure with the spread of universal knowledge? We need to answer that before we can answer the smaller and more specific questions that surround AI.
I'm a deep learning researcher so I can speak to this a little. Until roughly 2010 neural networks were barely used and broadly considered to be less efficient and less accurate than rival techniques (decision trees, support vector machines, etc.). For decades, far more work was put into these other approaches but the amazing thing about neural networks is that, even in a relatively primitive and neglected state, they outperformed traditional techniques. AlexNet is the poster-child of this phenomenon, but look at facial recognition, speech recognition, etc. These are all fields where older approaches are just dead. Nobody is working on SVMs for facial identification or object pose estimation anymore.

It's more accurate to say that neural networks succeeded against the research darlings of the time despite being relatively ignored for decades.
Well there's this thing called friendship. You see, executives at VC firms and such are typically pretty friendly with each other, and view their fellow executive's success as potentially pulling them up the ladder. AI is the next big thing. Sam Altman and his company is in a nice spot to profit. Moreover, YC research is an investor in OpenAI.

Thus, because the executives want Altman to succeed (to presumably advance their own career) and because they're in charge of YC, which is an investor in openai, they have every incentive in funding startups that then use OpenAI as the main platform.

Since most of our early users are just using foundational LLM models over API (like OpenAI models), we're still working on the best way to manage uploading custom weights and NLP models. However, for users that need it asap, we can upload and download fine-tuned weights/architectures manually.

In terms of privacy policy, we haven't had many users doing much with fine-tuned deltas, but we think of it the same way we think of all model data: All inference and benchmarking data belongs to the user and we don't aggregate it across other users or shared between orgs.
