My company has a goal of 35% women in executive position. The thing is that we are working in the industry, you know, factories and machines. This environment does not attract women, we barely have women engineers.
That means that any women in engineering willing to take responsibility is fast tracked to management.
This was the same at my previous employers.

No, ChatGPT is not simply regurgitating. It actually understands the data. It is one of the largest deep neural networks ever constructed.

Consider AlphaZero, the neural net that learned how to play Go and became the world champion. It started with nothing but the rules of the game. Deep Learning systems build a generalized model and reason about it. They are not simply regurgitating what they have already seen in their training set.
As someone who actually knows this stuff, effectively sorting my trash is way too much effort for effectively very little return as I also know chances are even if I do it right my stuff will be burned anyway.

It is completely unrealistic to expect the average trashbin user (as in literally everyone even if you can't read) to follow recycling instructions for plastic (paper tends to be simpler). It's much too complicated and a majority of the packaging you'll find in supermarkets involves way too much effort separating the materials.
>Why do you trust the company will continue to provide said benefits?

Not sure if this is a great example from history. But my 87 year old grandmother still receives a monthly pension check from IBM from my late grandfather who passed away 6 years ago and retired over 30 years ago.

I'm sure IBM wouldn't be making these payments if they had any other option. I think the answer to your question is "because they are obligated to" via contracts signed with employees (and ex-employees, and even deceased employees).
So we're effectively saying, "infrastructure is expensive" to justify burning the piles of money instead of using it to improve the situation?

When shit hits the fan, you will suddenly hope they become part of your personal life. It is only in a relatively high trust society with a mostly working police/court/government that you can afford to exclude your neighbors from your personal life.

My parents taught me a saying from their native language that translates to the people physically closest to you are your closest family. They are going to be the ones who can help you in times of need (or harm you), so building and maintaining relationships with them is advisable.

COVID-19 is not a harmless disease, especially for the elderly. You can argue about children and young adults without risk factors, but that is only a small part of the population in developed countries. A large part of the population is older and/or has risk factors that put them at a higher risk due to COVID-19.

So yes, large parts of the population did need that protection now. And while the process was accelerated, the vaccines were tested and closely monitored.

> A language is OO if it supports two things

Yes, but only in your personal opinion. I disagree. As I've said clearly, for me a language is not OOP without inheritance. Go is not an OOP language. This is important for me because I like Go and think it's a great non-OOP language. In contrast, if Go was an OOP language, then it would be a really bad one - no traits, no mixins, no classes, no multiple inheritance, no multiple dispatch, no true dynamic method dispatch (see below), etc. Besides, treating Go as if it was an OOP language often leads to horrible Jave-in-Go programming style.

Btw, I wasn't talking about C++ inheritance, I had things like CommonLisp CLOS and Ada's tagged types in mind. CL's OOP is among the most powerful because it has multiple dynamic dispatch and a metaobject protocol. Go lacks both, and it also doesn't really have dynamic dispatch. Dynamic dispatch means that superclass and subclass methods can be called at runtime depending on what is needed. You cannot call various superclass methods of a Go struct because Go structs do not have a type hierarchy/superclasses as there is no concept of inheritance. You sometimes get something that looks similar because of the duck typing (which is dynamic, but it's still not a full method dispatch) and because you can downcast at runtime using .(type). But that's still not the same as dynamic dispatch in an OOP language. Here is an explanation of the difference: [1]

However, if you insist on imposing your definition as the one and only right one, then that's okay for me. In that case, Go is the most limited and crippled OOP language I've ever used, and so be it.

As a user of OCaml I have to disagree. Rust requires far too many type annotations and they are mostly unnecessary and clutter everything up (particularly with it's very heavy syntax). In OCaml my editor shows me types if I mouse over a variable, and if I need to document the code I can add annotations, but that is rarely needed.

I agree, if this was to happen it will have to happen with a third party. But America seems to be allergic to any third parties.

For the longest time I used to think that the two party system is like a law in America or something. Like China has a one party system. When I learned that it isn't, i spent a considerable amount of time confused as to why then in all political discourse is the two party system so... enshrined. Some say if you listen to me closely, I'm still confused about this. I come from a country which routinely has 20 parties in different levels of government each with significantly different agendas (or at least we used to, sigh...). Why is this not the case in America? It seems to me that everyone is dissatisfied with their party, yet they don't want to support anything else. For a country which prides itself in its entrepreneurship and startup culture, the reluctance in supporting innovation in politics is so surprising.

Edit: btw, i disagree with you that Republicans will "start" to hold their leaders accountable. From an outsider perspective, the Republican party seems to be achieving their targets and GoP members are more active than Democratic party members. I may disagree with most of their social and financial goals, but I will acknowledge they are effective and there are severe consequences on failure.

I'd add that honestly people weren't really complaining about the ST's speed at the time it was current. It beat the Mac and PC for horsepower and price.

While it was kind of a crappy games machine compared to the Amiga, it certainly was better than a PC or a Mac, and as an all around general home productivity computer was the best value for the $ out there at the time. Which I think was the Tramiel's aim.

This argument is highly unsatisfactory. The only way for humans to divide two large numbers is to perform long division. That doesn’t mean that’s how a computer does it.

GPT LLMs are literally highly-skilled probabalistic next word predictors. It would be an astonishingly bad GPT that could not unscramble 12 words into a meaningful sentence. I just don’t think success at that task tells us anything other than it is a GPT.

>How did those 5 million better-paid jobs got created?

I don't think that matters in this argument because the author assumes that housing prices will rise, which would only be possible if there is growth in desirable jobs. If 5 million high paying jobs don't get created, you don't have to worry about rising home prices because very few people would want to live in a place more expensive place on the same income. Instead you'd have a situation like Tokyo where housing prices don't rise.

>I've known a lot of people in rural areas years ago

They are alluding to suburban rather than rural migration. Your average country folk isn't going to suddenly decide to move to NYC. You need about 30 acres for an indefinite supply of firewood. You're probably not going to able to aquire that much land within a reasonable distance of an office, and if you can, you'd be wasting a lot of energy with commuting.
It seems to be a lot more stable as a Flatpak! Too bad Flatpak is messed up on my system, but now I have a reason to fix it!
AI will not replace humans. IBM's CEOs and managers will replace humans with AI. Shareholders will force IBM to replace humans with AI. Let us stop blaming the only thing that is _not_ making any decision.
Capitalism is a powerful idea that will kill the same people that vouch for it.
Don't be so quick to upgrade the "stuff" you have - cars, phones, computers, etc. You don't realize it and won't admit it but you're playing the "keeping up with the Joneses" game. Your pay increases are better suited to be dumped into entire stock market index funds (VTSAX for example) and left alone. You might just end up in your 40's as financially independent or at least be looking at not needing employment by your 50's.

Occasional upgrades are fine and necessary sometimes but try to outright purchase them, especially cars - start small with what you can fully purchase and save until you can fully purchase the next one.

When you consider buying a house realize you likely need to own that home for 7 years before you reach a break-even point (first years are lot of interest payments). Home ownership has many additional costs people neglect to think through when buying - all the mechanical systems are yours to maintain, the appliances, the upkeep like lawn, paint, pests, HOA dues, property taxes, etc. At least in the last 6-7 years the amount of mortgage interest + taxes hasn't broken the US Standard Deduction for my household so the advantage of lowering your federal income taxes may not be there either.
It's a shame, but I think it's understandable considering how social inept most of us are around here.

I suppose this is because you will be met well before you arrive at the door-the resident will come out to greet you, presumably because their dog alerted to your presence?

It’s too late now, but the FDIC should just guarantee all deposits with no limit. If they did it with SVB they should do it for every other bank too moving forward. It is ridiculous to expect the average person to dig into bank balance sheets and try to determine whether their bank is managing risk properly.

That would have prevented these runs, which counterintuitively means fewer FDIC payouts, not more. Then couple that with stricter rules to prevent risky gambles funded by deposits.
What's to prevent that in a slightly less monopolized system? In some cases, players in a market may all even independently arrive at the same solution and decide not to undercut competition, they may add additional fees (e.g. tuition) to universities across the board. They may find canteens unsustainable with a profit motive.

Functionally, the consumer has the same problem: competition isn't giving them alternative choices and variety, policy and options are mandated to them. Providers may find school canteens too expensive so they close them, the one who thinks an opportunity may open one but be forced to charge a fee too high for participants to consider so ultimately lunches get packed anyways. In theory the market dictates these things from consumer consensus but consumer consensus is really just some degree of a manipulated majority opinion over w minitory. In practice I don't care who dictates it, my voice (dollar in this case) doesn't seem to matter all that much in contexts without healthy competition.

There's definitely some sort of threshold level of actual competition (however we define that) that has to exist to create a landscape of options for the consumer. As time progresses, the argument for private enterprise grows weaker, in my opinion. The solution is for markets to become less anti-competitive, to allow real competition (not sure how we achieve this). An issue is, no one wants to do this and is incentivized to be anti-competitive in every way they can.
You better believe you have had a truly blessed career.

In most places the moment you say "this will take 67 minutes and not the 65 minutes you thought it would", all sorts of idiots that know nothing about programming will come and dispute your every technical decision.

Exaggeration of course, but not far from the truth. Worst of all are the CTOs that already sing only the CEO's tune, come and review your entire project in exhaustive detail, conclude that you did 99% of everything correctly and well and exactly how they would do it, then proceed to fire you over the missing 1%.

Again, kind of an exaggeration, but again, not far from the truth either.

In most places people are treated like interchangeable cogs. Better hold tight to your warm positions, it's not a given you'll find a better one if you figure that you must leave.

I dream of a workplace where after I prove my worth -- 1-2 months -- I'll just be left alone to produce and correct code and protect the company's interests without being second-guessed, even though I am one of the most productive devs there. I dream of that. I might cry if one day I realize that I've actually landed such a job.

And I am a senior. 21 years in the profession. Food for thought for you.

It's all about who you know and drink coffee with, apparently. Your abilities as a professional barely matter, it seems.

One could counter that example with the multitudes of businesses who failed on meeting their defined benefit pension promises, resulting in laws like ERISA 1974 and PPA 2006, which resulted in businesses ceasing to offer defined benefit pensions because it turns out, predicting decades of future economic conditions and insuring volatility for that length of time is insanely costly.

Not to mention that IBM has been dying for a decade+. I certainly would not expect them to make good on any decent size DB pension in a few decades, and unless you are part of a politically connected group, you may or may not get fully bailed out by the feds (see General Motors pension renegotiations in 2008).

See also multi employer pension plans which have crazy regulations where if one employer fails, the other employers gets to pick up the tab.

Why the concept of invisibility so captivates the imagination
Drake's AI clone is actually a clone of his Autotune-d voice, so it will be interesting to see how that transform maps.
A really easy reliable example is to combine one real thing with one fake thing and ask it to explain it.

So for example:

- tell me about the advantages of madeupdb’s event-sourced architecture.

When I did this it told me how madeupdb was a nosql database and had a bunch of stuff that is true about event sourcing in general but of course it is all a hallucination because there is no such thing as madeupdb.

This makes as much sense as “guns don’t kill people, people do.”

AI tech is being driven by capitalism. The reason companies are so eager to embrace it is to replace people. If you’re in the AI business or advocating for it, you’re (at least in part) an arms supplier for cutting jobs.
What would be so bad about having bank monopolies? Think about how much profit they could make, and as a society, isn't that what's truly important.
That is true, my question was however about _actual_ cases, because 1950's USA is not 2020's USA (neither Germany, nor Iran, nor whatever country). Because I'm not arguing bad stuff never happened (or happens), I'm arguing that measures to make this less likely to happen have been and are taken continuously. Are those measures enough though? Without examples I cannot judge in good faith.
