> I'm tired of this ludicrous insinuation that a free and independent press either doesn't exist or if it does it should never be trusted.

I don't think all journalists deliberately serve some agenda, but it's very easy to find instances of reputable medias being incorrect or extremely biased. It's not that they should never be trusted, but it's important to remain critical even with reputable new sources.
That's because they haven't expanded into new markets recently. That will flip if they entered Europe or Asia
Generally speaking (small sample size), I've been able to move things out a few more weeks because I've wanted to take a vacation or hit a vesting date. But I agree in general. You can't usually move a start date out months.

>No, the entire promise was to eventually have a fleet of autonomous vehicles doing the driving.

No, to the best of my knowledge, the push towards autonomy came after they realized that they would struggle to get profitability through scale. Just look at their first pitch deck[1] from 2008, there's no mention of autonomy. They didn't really start pursuing autonomy until around 2015, when they finally started hiring researchers for that[2].

In the U.S., an employee that resigns is not entitled to severance. In this case, you would only have received severance if you had been terminated before your resignation date. If they sent you home but continued to pay you for that month, you would not have been entitled to severance.

Unlike McConnell, there doesn't seem to be a lot of "regular joe" support for Feinstein. There's practically nobody in this thread singing her praises... even among her fellow D's.
I think the reasoning behind not having an age cap in Congress is that if the people want to elect someone who is old, they should be able to do so. The ultimate check in a democratic society is the people, and like a different commenter said, it's strange that the voters of California continue to vote for Feinstein.

As a datapoint, this wasn't my experience at Google. Both times I left I gave notice and continued working (with full access) up until my negotiated last day.

Where I live, there are no laws against public nudity (as long as the nudity isn't "salacious" in nature). And yet, very nearly 100% of the people are clothed at all times.
> There is ~zero chance that you actually are Mr./Ms. Special, who your employer will happily treat differently.

Except when you are.

When I turned in my notice (in writing), I noted that according to my contract my notice period was X days, but that I wanted to ensure a proper handoff and would voluntarily extend my notice period to X+Y days. The employer was happy to accept X+Y, without arguing. HR even stated that they appreciated me doing it.

Then again, I'm not in the US.

> you aren't cursed for having those desires, but for acting upon them

That sounds exactly as repressive and hateful that other major religion, as well as historical laws which punished homosexual acts in many western countries. You have highlighted the difference between our desires and our behavior, but you seem to deliberately avoid acknowledging that straight people are permitted an institution in which their desires can be met within constraints, but gay people are not.

"You're invited to participate in our faith so long as you scrupulously act like someone else for your whole life" sounds a lot like an unvitation.

Maybe I'm just cynical, but I would not expect a far better experience for anybody with more competition. We have that in a bunch of other areas of tech, and it always ends up being a race to the bottom. You end up only being able to choose between ad and malware riddled garbage or being heavily surveilled, and yet still under the threat of losing everything if an arbitrary algorithm decides it dislikes you. I would expect the same for developer experiences with other app stores, but with less upside because nobody is going to install those other app stores.

> This is not out of any deliberate malice

Having seen quite a few instances of deliberate malice I beg to differ. It is out of deliberate malice, though there may be a couple of cases where it is an emergent thing. The vast majority of these companies are aware of it, won't change their ways and have a hundred different ways to rationalize their illegal behavior.
> In an information environment, security and privacy are the same thing

Yes. Privacy is a subset of security.
Most companies have a standard resignation policy, if you don't know what the policy is at your workplace, you should really find out. Usually, you can also get the big picture by watching other people who have resigned before you.

I have worked at a company where the moment you signal your intention to resign, HR cuts you a check for your remaining PTO, your manager goes to your desk to collect your things in a box, and security escorts you out the door. But this was all well-known to everyone who worked there, so every departing employee made sure to say goodbye to their (trusted) co-workers before telling their manager.

The company I am at now, they let you stay on for basically as long as you want, but one to two weeks is typical. Most people don't make their departure fully public until their last day.

If your current company is the latter, then jumping ship without giving your manager and co-workers any kind of heads-up is a great way to burn bridges you might need in the future.
Aren’t you missing the key ingredient though? The integrated editing experience?

I always hear this but I'm not sure how they subsidize rides, is it just the 50% off type deals they give out?
When I was a driver nearly a decade ago I would get roughly 70% of the fare and that would be reduced if they used a coupon so it seems more like I was subsidizing the ride. I get that they'd lose a bit of their pie as well.

Recently I see the price I pay on my phone and then see the fare the driver receives on theirs and it's sometimes a good chunk less than 50% of what I pay.
I'm not going to spend a day and a half reproducing old pixel art in Photoshop. I celebrate an artist who will take the time to do that, and I think their final result is fantastic.

If there were a tool that would help me do this, there are situations where I would use it.

I actually wrote a tool that took a PNG and helped me break out the original sprites, backgrounds, and fonts from an old video game. But I recognize that doing this from a photograph is a couple orders of magnitude more difficult.

If anyone is looking for a technical challenge, and has the relevant skills, here I am highlighting how amazing I think it would be.

Seagate to Pay $300M Fine for Supplying Hard Drives to Huawei
For the system to function, you've got roughly five variables:

A: Drivers need to get paid enough to want to do it.

B: Riders need the rides to be cheap enough to choose it.

C: The quantity of drivers generally available needs to be consistently high enough that riders can find the rides they need when they want with little wait time.

D: The quantity of riders generally available needs to be consistently high enough that drivers are willing to sign on and wait to accept rides.

E: The overhead of running the business.

Profit comes from the spread between A and B minus E. But A is dependent on D: if there aren't enough riders seeking rides then drivers get fewer of them and need to make more per ride to it to be worth signing on. Likewise B is dependent on C: If they have to wait longer for rides or risk not having a driver available, they won't pay as much or choose to use the service.

The company has knobs they can turn by controlling how much they charge riders and how much they pay drivers. But because of the connections through C and D, they can't turn one without affecting the others.

And it may be that depending on their overhead and the natural density of an area, there may be no valid pricing solution that doesn't lead to the system collapsing from disuse. They have been able to avoid that up until now by infusing the system with "free" investor money, but that doesn't last forever.
A big difficulty is the conflation of fact with judgement. 'Vaccines work', 'masks don't work', 'a lab leak is impossible', etc. are judgements, not facts. They are not even hypotheses, in that there is no clear criteria by which they can be falsified. Hence fact-checking presents obvious problems, as in practice it will be judgement-checking.
The Prius' efficiency comes from much much more than regenerative braking. Part is a focus on good aero and low weight, like many electric cars. But most is from leveraging the electric motors to allow the engine to run at max thermal efficiency (probably a touch above your 30% figure) at nearly all times.

ICEs are most efficient under medium-low RPMs and high load. The electric motors can sustain low speed cruising, letting the engine shut off entirely if it wouldn't be well utilized, and also fill in for high torque demand to keep engine power output lower.

Something I realized. After you give notice, at most, the business needs about a week to decide what to do with the work you were handling. In tech, most projects can be deferred, and most services can go into KTLO.

After the week is done to figure that stuff out - no one really cares about you anymore. There is likewise a tacit assumption that you won’t deliver anything again (why would you?). As such it’s usually best to let someone out the door after a week.

Typically when I give notice, I simply state that the employer can do whatever over the next 2 weeks. 70% of the time, when given the choice, they will decide on a fast transition of 1 week. There hardly is anything to do the second week.
Years ago they had the chance to shape how installing software outside the App Store would work. They could have gone the Android route and it's possible this legislation never would have arrived. Their arrogance and greed created such a animus that we now have the DMA; one of the most comprehensive pieces of technology focused legislation in my lifetime.
> the research is mind-blowing.

Drug companies said that about ketamine, and then they realised they couldn't make much money from ketamine infusions, so they tweaked ketamine to get eskatamine and turned it into a nasal spray. That's patentable and it gives them more money.

The results are pretty poor though.

SSRIs had mind-blowing research, but that was based on very carefully selected test subjects. As soon as it got rolled out to the general population the efficacy drops pretty alarmingly. Some people don't get much benefit from them (SSRIs are a useful, life-saving medication. I am not saying these meds are useless for everyone). See also SNRIs, exercise, etc etc.
Interviewing isn't just a measure of how good you are at programming in real life. It's how good of an employee you will be. Conformity is a strong indicator of this. Comparing someone who completed a CS degree versus some guy that learned to program in a garage hacking together broken computer parts - the employer is going to choose the CS degree guy, even if the hacker is better at programming. CS degree means you follow direction, you can work within a rigid structure, you follow rules enough to make good grades and not get kicked out, and you're capable of doing monotonous work that sometimes has very little value.

Video[0] isn't a direct answer, but I found it helpful for understanding the trade offs that come when considering using electric power for a plane vs regular fuel. They show the math in an easy to follow diagram.

tl;dr for their small kit aircraft the weight of batteries they would need to match the stored energy of equivalent fuel (even with a battery at 500wh/kg) would be 5-10x heavier, and also not get lighter during the flight. They said for long range it doesn't make sense, but that there are lots of companies iterating in the short range electric space.

Lithium-air and all other -air batteries have outsourced part of their mass to the atmosphere, which is also part of the reason why liquid motor fuel has such high apparent density. The joke with lithium-air batteries is they absorb oxygen when they discharge, so a dead battery is full of lithium peroxide and weighs significantly more than a charged one.

> Are things really as bad as they sound online?

No, online rhetoric bears only a passing resemblance to reality. Especially on HN, where most folks these days get unlimited vacation and work less than 40 actual hours per week. If you're in a low skill blue collar job you will definitely struggle more than someone in the skilled trades. And if you went deeply in debt because someone convinced you that a four year degree in business would pay for itself, I'm sorry.
Is browsing hn so different than a clerk reading the paper or a book or chitchatting with a coworker during some down time in the 1940s? Probably not. Downtime is part of work unless you work by the piece. Even when I worked outside labor jobs, there was plenty of downtime e.g. waiting for the 1 skid steer to move some stuff before you could do anything else. That being said its not like 2/3 of your day are truly free, you are omitting the sleeping, the cooking, the eating, the washing the dishes, the commuting, etc, that quickly sucks up your time. I know someone who works 9am-7pm. Maybe 1-2 hours of their day are truly free during the week. Plus on the weekends thats when you typically play catchup, and do all the chores and errands you'd been neglecting during the week due to work.
I think "find each pixel" is a lot harder than you and I are describing it. (I've done some of this work before.) Without knowing the intrinsic parameters of the camera, and how the photo from the camera was cropped, it's pretty rough...

I think that if no one has to work, scarcity is a problem solved in this theoretical scenario.
Hmm... this seems like maybe taking things in an overly literal way. It sounds like clearing the tower was their threshold for a successful test - if they didn't get that far, it would be deemed a failure.

A phrase like "all I hope for" doesn't necessarily mean "the only thing I hope for" but instead usually means "the thing I hope for most (or above all)". If someone were to say, "all I want is a good night's rest", it doesn't mean they no longer want oxygen, for example. :)

> Like event x led to y which led to z.

Grammar parsers have been able to do this since the 90s. There is no reason to believe that it's not just a slightly-fancier grammar parser: the kinds of errors it makes are those you'd expect from a pre-biased stochastic grammar parser.

> But it's only a hunch, based on our wetware.

Our "wetware" fundamentally does not work like a GPT model. We don't build sentences as a stream of tokens. (Most people describe a "train of thought", and we have reason to believe there's even more going on than is subjectively accessible.) ChatGPT does not present any kind of progress towards the reasoning problem. It is an expensive toy, built using a (2017, based on 1992) technology that represented progress towards better compression algorithms, and provided some techniques useful for computational linguistics and machine translation. The only technological advance it represents is "hey, we threw a load of money at this!".

The "LLM hallucination problem" is not simple. It's as fundamental as the AI-upscaler hallucination problem. There is no difference between a GPT model's "wow amazing" and its "hallucinations": eliminate one, and you eliminate the other.

These technologies are useful and interesting, but they don't do what they don't do. If you try to use them to do something they can't, bad things will happen. (The greatest impact will probably not be on the decision-makers.)

> well the current moment is the most accurate time to say it.

This is true of every event that is expected to happen in the future.
Not an enterprise use case but I do find ChatGPT useful for qualitative review of written text. I show it a few paragraphs of writing that I'm not sure about and ask it to give me feedback as an audience member. If I have a particular concern, like that the text reads as pretentious or overly technical, I include that in the prompt.

This surfaces a lot of useful feedback, especially if I constrain the model to list 3 specific places where the text reads as jargon-y or 3 specific points I could address to make the text more accessible.
