Wow, there’s a lot of unjustified negativity in this thread. The whole encyclopedia (and a whole bunch of the wider world of computing) is built out of this kind of hyper-focused nerding over details.

These changes don’t make your day worse. He’s not shoving it in our faces or claiming it’s going to save the world. We don’t know what’s going on in this editor’s life or what he “should” be doing with his time instead. Maybe simple routine work is his way of unwinding from the maddening pace and complexity of the rest of life. Good on him for feeling passionate about something and seeing it through.

We should be grateful there are people willing to do this kind of mundane janitorial work.
Yes, it is great platform to discover talent.

It has a medium talent density, as a buyer there are lot of protections & power to switch.

As a Freelancer, you similarly have challenge of working unreasonable clients.

If they have any sense they pass the cost of the fee on to you in their hourly rate or project cost or whatever.

I appear to have just given up and symlinked them together. Anyone have a better idea?

Edit: Actually, my profile apparently has a conditional to detect what shell it's loaded by (which I did remember), and for at least bash a conditional to detect interactive mode (which I did not). So I'm still dealing with this, just not at the file level.

The point of the article is that for team work with unclearity you are more creative by working in a physical space together.

If your work can be done in isolation and doesn't require a team to deal with any uncertainty, then by all means work fully remote. However, if your work is about innovation and collaboration, then it's going to be more effective to spend time together.

I think it's telling that you talk about 'looking at a clock'. If that's how you spend your office time, then indeed there might be something off. E.g. a controlling manager who wants their minions to be visible and on the clock.

Personally I work one or two days from home. Some team members more, a few even fully remote (but it's noticable that they are more task oriented and less included in any new concepts/roadmaps/designs/etc). The majority of the people spend the same one or two days together in the office where all kinds of formal and informal interactions happen that further the collaborative creative process.
This is in addition to the % fees they also charge the buyer.

As a very long time user of Upwork since before the days of oDesk and Elance, don't understand the greed here. They used to at least offer discounts on the rate when you had over $10K billings with a client.

This just increases prices across the board as contractors will raise their rates to account for the fees.

Silly as it gives their users motivation to give competitors a look, as well as a competitor to rise that doesn't want to be as greedy with the now common Airbnb style of charging all sides fees.

Surely they got jealous of all the 20-30% fees relatively new services like Uber, GrubHub, Fulfilled by Amazon charges and figure they should get in the game as compared to their legacy thinking...

Wish they'd provide additional value and services for additional revenue, rather than continue to squeeze both sides of the transaction.
But no one uses ‘using “literally” to mean “figuratively”’ to literally mean ‘using “literally” to mean “figuratively”’, either. Instead they mean ‘using “literally” in the context of a figurative usage’, as you point out—the censure of which is warranted by its being a lazy cliché. The augmentation is not generic; the coincidence is feigned in the service of irony.
JP Morgan does something like $38B in income per year. Its new HQ is $3B. Spot lease prices might be down 50%, but since the building has a 60-year lifespan, it won't be that big of a deal long-term. That's for a company that owns. Companies that rent don't care. While some of these companies own commercial real estate, they're not really commercial real estate companies.

Well you have a good point, I'll give you that.

Although you don't seem to understand the real reason you're living a "better" life: Someone (you or others) pays for it. Lives don't get better by regulation, they get better by hard work. The real reason smoking are less is because nice hard working people reach a consensus that smoking is bad. Not a genius that imposes regulation on smoking. Actually, if you don't offer alternatives for a nicotine addict (like a good life), regulation only makes them resentful and anti-social. So get your priorities straight.
What was wrong with the old method of using waxed paper? Non-toxic and waterproof. They did of course eventually go soggy at the ends but it's somewhat incredible that we go for known toxic coatings instead of previously-used non-toxic alternatives.
Not just more successful in terms of adoption, but safer even than many "native" typed languages. You can never really tell if a random method in Java can return null without reading through its source and the transitive source of anything it may potentially call. And with dynamic dispatch, this becomes literally impossible. That Java virus of null contaminates other JVM languages like Scala too. It's even worse because you can have Option types that are themselves potentially nullable. Some/None/null is a terrible situation to be stuck in.

And then the expressiveness of the type system there is also really pragmatic. You can't natively express union types in Java and many other static languages without writing your own Either monad implementation. Instead, you often wind up with code that has objects with a hodge-podge of field sets that are nullable.

It's nothing short of miraculous how well the null-safety situation is in TypeScript. It's built on the back of community-driven types in DefinitelyTyped where the maintainers of libs often aren't the ones writing and keeping types up to date. Nowadays, types are becoming more and more first-party, but it still amazes me how we got to this point.
They actually _did_ change it a few months ago.

You can customize LS_COLORS if you want, but I've never been mad at the defaults. Also, I prefer c-style escapes, which allows you to copy and paste the filename and use it in other commands:

alias ls='ls --color=auto -F -b -T 0 -A'

-F classify entries with (*/=>@|)
-b use c-style escapes instead of quoting
-T 0 do not use tabs for alignment
-A show all dotfiles except . and ..

Plus, I find colors to be insanely useful when my old eyes try to read 'ip' output, so I really do prefer:

alias ip='ip --color=auto'

But how can you trust it to provide accurate information?

When I've played around with Bing, I've been seeing hallucinations and outright false data pop up quite regularly.

My initial assessment of LLVMs is that they can be great writing aids, but I fail to see how I can trust them for search, when I can't use it for simpler tasks without getting served outright falsehoods.
hey,

that is fair answer! AFAIK, there are two things that consider:

* Aurora do have some vendor-locking feature if I'm not wrong?

* moving from Aurora to PostGres will lead to downtime of 2 minutes + unknown waiting, where this is not a case when you convert from PostGres to Aurora.

GP post regarding 1 is just a manifestation of the illness in the US of considering companies to be people.

You should not have empathy for a company.
The main value add of Upwork for freelancers is helping them to find work in the marketplace.

If you can find and bill directly, of course that may be preferable, but finding clients is hard and the business development also has a cost.
You win the non-sequitur of the day award.

Interesting! I've been using "grc" to provide colours for commands like "ip", I didn't realise that "ip" had a "--color=auto" option.
With groups they're still somewhat unbeatable.

Usually the price of hotel rooms scales roughly linearly with the number of people you have with you.

With 6-8 people airbnb is almost always less than half the price of a hotel. And you can cook together, which often adds to the savings, as well as having a common room to hang out in the evening.

Hotels are usually not that nice to hang out in.
The thing they are against is workers having power. Nothing else.
My experiences have been similar. Very happy with the talent and confident that I could get good people there at any time. At the same time, I'm quite ambivalent about their UX (the invoice issue you mention is really bad) and the fees. I feel it's prime for disruption.

The platform has a lot of features, including complex ones in the area of payments. But I think a challenger should be able to build something with fewer resources and take, say, ~7% instead of 15%. Being an old incumbent, Upwork probably carry a lot of cruft around.

Of course building a marketplace is very hard (dual marketing problem, etc.) but I don't think it'd be that hard to build a new one. As a buyer at least I'm not that locked in, I have also tried other platforms (ex: a European one called Malt) with great success, and I often shop around between platforms if I can.
> But I would have though the model relied on the higher accuracy during training. So losing that would screw it up.

Yes, during training, where you need to make tiny adjustments to weights. But as far as I understand it inference can still work well because of the sheer number of weights. Give a black-and-white image a high resolution and you can represent any shade of gray if you zoom out a bit.
I can only say it's from experience, and though I know folk at the end of their careers who will say things like "it's different now; you're only a number these days" which might suggest there's been a shift, in all honesty I can't suggest it, because I feel that for me it is more of a red pill scenario, and not that I have observed a shift in my ~10y career.

Your thoughts about tempering idealism, running up against 'the system', etc feel familiar to me and I could even relate it to a painful scenario I found myself in 2 jobs ago. I don't think the origin of that idealism is coincidental, and if it were, it is still certainly exploited. It's not difficult to see how cynicism might result from the realisation that your idealism is at best convenient for your employer; that doing The Right Thing TM is only tenable when it aligns with the goals of the employer. At worst, it's just handwaved away with "this is what the business needs". And how can you argue with that? (Nearly all) businesses exist to profit and arguing for intangible Right Things TM against cold hard dollars is tough, sometimes hopeless.

Regarding your mention of how things have worsened over the years: I speculate that the pandemic itself, the resulting WFH, the looming recession and current layoffs, and (for some folk) the CoL situation have created conditions where the corporate world is struggling to maintain the facade that working life is great and a good job is the path to happiness. There are definitely folk out there working hard to attribute blame and "worker productivity" gives us a clue who.

Semi related edit: I have been reading [1] and though I find the switching between labour movement history and anecdotes from today's workers kind of painful, there's been some interesting bits. Possibly worth checking out the reviews and reading only the first half as many have said is the better part.

Interesting. I wonder if the word "presently" could count. It can mean both "soon" or "currently".
In the UK, if you work through a recruitment agent then they will be taking 10-20% of your rate as a margin.

If you work through a consultancy that could be as high 30-50%.

If you do your own business development then that is hard work, risky and also expensive. It would take much more than 10% of your time.

Though freelancing can be a tough gig, I don’t think Upworks rates are unreasonable considering they have a marketplace of work requiring very minimal biz dev and various financial protections to make sure you get paid.

All of these rates just gets loaded into the rates the clients pay anyway so it’s a wash to a certain extent.

“Remove discussion of how other SaaS providers work”
The alleged "market cap" of ETH is presently: $236,692,623,586 .

Consider an IPO for a company which sells shares, there is no question "at what point does the share price collapse to zero" -- it has a price. The company is worth something: it has profit/loss, assets, etc.

Consider selling all ETH for USD -- the obvious question, to me, is: at what point does the price collapse to zero? 10% of them? 15%? 25.00000001%?

This is an extremely non-linear effect, after 20bn is sold it might just be the next dollar afterwards. Or 50bn. Or 15bn.

I suspect there's about 20-50bn of "real money" in the system, radically double (-double-double) counted by many participants (esp, eg., via tether).

If any coins on any chain were sold off at a high enough rate, perhaps so the total across the entire ecosystem were a trivial 10-20% of ETHs alleged "market cap" -- i think the whole thing goes to zero. At 18.9111123% there'll be no buyers at any price, everyone will realise, and bang goes the whole show.

You can't say that about apple; or any stock whose value derives from owning a business that has *actual assets.

ie., I think the fragility here, of this system and this posted numbers, is radically extreme in percentage terms. Yes, your $1m USD here or there will make no difference.

I had the same thoughts. When you think a chatbot is the best interaction you had in a week, you might want to look into that.
They're regional though. "Purse" and "handbag" don't have the same meaning in the UK, and "pop" and "soda" are rare in their US meaning.

In this case "compose" and "comprise" do have different meanings. "Compose" has the sense of "put together" whereas "comprise" is closer to "contain". You'd never say "contained of" unless you were going for a really archaic sentence construction. I think it's less clear that "comprised of" is incorrect in all cases, but I do agree it sounds ugly and that there's almost always going to be a better phrasing available.
IMHO, most of the Upwork jobs are upwards of $1000 if it's a serious client.

A large number of freelancers & agencies have built a stable clients on Upwork from years together. It will be a little revenue shock for them. Or eventually clients will pay more to cover the costs.

Let's assume you are a freelancer with a client relationship of 40k

* 20% fee for the first $500 earned from a client - $100

* 10% fee between $500 and $10,000 earned - $ 950

* 5% fee after the first $10,000 earned - $ 1500

New model - 40k

Am I missing anything here?

* 10% fee of any amount - $ 4000

Mainland EU's first orbital launch site was inaugurated in January 2023. It is located at Esrange, in Kiruna, high up north in Sweden.

The Themis program ("reusable space launcher demonstrator") will actually do some of their tests there.

I wonder how much of the "lag" in European space launcher innovation is due to the logistics of having to haul everything half a planet away to Kourou over an ocean for the actual launches. Hopefully having a mainland facility will improve things.

"Trump will never be president" is an excellent support of TFA's thesis: it was said by people who were not so much terminally online as terminally reading, and who were therefore convinced that no one who is demonstrably illiterate (having a command of the oral register but not the written) in his mother tongue could become president*. In 2016, some large percentage of the US electorate was already post-language (or at least post-literacy), as they agreed the lack of literacy(/language) was no impediment.

* despite having been indoctrinated for years that the genius of the States is that "anyone can become president"?

A lot of people are focused on microservices as a way to address scaling (of load, team size, etc.) but there's other reasons to choose a microservice. A pretty basic one is when an existing microservice already does what you need and no suitable module or library exists. In that case, there's no "until". Start with a microservice. There's a number of open source projects that are pluggable microservices, for example.

I think it is more that language is a convenient way to capture high quality human intellectual capabilities to train an AI easily. LLMs have highly curated training text to keep that quality high.

In reality we think not just in words but in pictures, sounds, abstract unsymbolized concepts. We also just do with our bodies and just watch with our hearts.

Image models capture some of that. We don’t have a way of capturing our unsymbolized thinking or doing yet. Expect lots of video data to be used to train AI in human body movements.

Unsymbolized, and worse subconscious, thinking will be harder. My assumption is we will have AIs which can learn directly from the world rather than via curated human culture by that point, so won’t need it.

This leaves a bad taste in my mouth because of our history in Germany.

There was a bunch of institutes for the "Erhaltung der deutschen Sprache" which were all founded under the umbrella of a quasi-propaganda organization that officially was just a society/club. [1]

They created their own "purified" dictionary with a "clean language" that was trying to find replacements for foreign words, and strengthen the nationalistic awareness with all its perks.

It was so ridiculous and opinionated that they tried to even enforce the use of "Nagelindiewandschlageisen" instead of using the Swedish word hammer.

They burned all their stuff in the war, but it's somewhat folklore that they were heavily involved with Goebbels and his propaganda in WW2.

They got away with that during the Nuremberg trials so technically this is an accusation from my side.

Culturally I think this is the opposite of what cultures should embrace. Languages will always evolve, and you cannot prevent that.

As a side-note: Those were so puristic people that they even pissed off Adolf Hitler at some point, because they criticised him for using foreign words in his speeches.
