> You know, I remember meeting someone at a conference once. Within maybe 10 minutes of meeting, he showed me this terrifying — to him it was probably wonderful — spreadsheet of how he accounted for every hour of the day for the last couple of years... I don’t know if he secretly feels punished by his own system or if he feels empowered by it. There’s not really any way for me to know... I think that person has the potential to use that way of thinking very self-punitively.

As a society we seem to lack the ability to say "this is not for me" without passing judgement on people for who it is. I think it's great that the person being interviewed has a point of view, but I also think there are few things more personal than how one manages their time, so to make a value judgement so casually feels deeply un-empathetic.

Signing a lease is a new, expensive obligation, and being a landlord is a second job. That approach might be right for some people, but it's definitely not the same as just selling your old house and buying a new one somewhere else.

Due to market pressures, 'we will buy $xxM per year guaranteed if you make this cheaper', Omron moved bulk of microswitch manufacturing to China. Japanese Omron switches were 10M clicks in name only, they were build like Toyota builds cars. Chinese made ones all die around 10Million clicks which is around a year. Mouse is "just" $30-50, too little for someone in the west to bother repairing or even considering hassle of RMA. Logitech turned their physical products into recurring revenue business.

There are mice with optical microswitches - you move a plastic knob that blocks the light path between two diodes soldered directly into mouse pcb. Personally I just replace switches regularly using a bag of Chinese $.5 Omrons.
We did not, that's the famously debunked hockey-stick graph claim.

Using the built-in tools, you can save the exact versions of dependencies (i.e. a lock file) using "pip freeze >dependencies.txt". This should give you the exact same set of packages in two years' time.

If you want to be even more sure, you can also store hashes in the lock file. This has to be generated by a separate tool at the moment [1][2] but can be consumed by the built-in tools [3], so "pip install -r requirements.txt" is still all you need in two years' time.

This is also explained in the pip documentation [4].

Alternatively, I've worked with Staff Engineers who are still fixing bugs, and also building (maybe staff-level?) tooling and project improvements. The most significant issue is the lack of standardization of expectations. "Staff" doesn't mean anything in a vacuum because it doesn't mean the same thing between any two companies.

Personally, I love doing senior stuff. I don't know if I even want to be staff at any point, maybe I'll want a different challenge someday, but I still get a lot of enjoyment out of churning out high-quality code and shaping things at multiple levels. But if I stay where I am, I'll eventually be promoted to staff with minor shifts in the work I do.
Intimidation tactics like that should count as impersonation. If they don't, there's your problem.
One of the main reasons behind Proposition 13 was to constrain rapid growth of local government expenses, and it has been effective in that. We do need to reform it so that the tax burden is distributed more fairly, but I won't vote for ending it without some guarantees on limiting government spending.
There are plenty of jobs (and recruiters) still reaching out. Just for smaller companies than the tech giants.
While you're not wrong, the issue from the article is about a local issue, not necessarily with the legal system.

In some places, proscribed burns are routine. Just not in the place that the article is about.

Heck, the Chicago Parks District does proscribed burns in Lincoln Park, which is a very urban location.

Individual countries know this, and even share rather successfully across unions.

EU exchanges VAT information which is exactly about who buys from whom... down to transactions of 120€ and more if I am not mistaken.

A couple of friends and myself got laid off in Germany a short while ago - was really tough finding a new job. Very different compared to a year ago. Same for friends from the US and especially the UK.
When you say "let the natural cycles take hold," do you mean in the way Western governments used to before the Great Depression, say during the 19th and early 20th centuries? Do you realize how horrific the panics of 1818-19, 1825, 1837, 1847, 1857, 1866, 1869, 1873, 1884, 1893, 1896, 1907, 1914 were, in both the US and Europe? And after all those horrific panics, the old systems led to the Great Depression, 1929-1939. Is that what you mean?

To the extent economists today recommend propping things up, it's only because they believe the alternatives are much worse. Judging by the historical record, I'd say they're right to focus on minimizing damage, akin to doctors with their Hippocratic oath.

> your job can end at the whim of a boss

Maybe it's a big company thing, but every time I've had to end someone's job it took several months of performance management and about 50 to 100 pages of documentation. Imagine about a year of having your team limping and not being able to achieve its commitments, while you have to be polite and supportive to a hostile person who's obviously on their way out but can't see it, and all the while your 1:1 meetings with your boss start with "Sooooo... What's going on with Charlie? Are you documenting? I don't feel like you're documenting." Every meeting you walk into where they ask why "X" isn't done yet, you can't tell them that Charlie fundamentally can't deliver it, because any mention of that is wandering into HR territory, and you can't take Charlie off of "X" because that's going to screw up the continuity of your documentation. Meanwhile, Charlie is wandering around the halls trying to foment some kind of misguided rebellion against you, and (edit: possibly) stealing stuff.

So not really a whim.
>>But rational analysis is sorely absent when an armed gang shows up at your door demanding something and threatening more violence if you don't comply.

That is why my standing policy is to never answer the door unless I am expecting someone. Even for package delivery I have a table for them to leave the package on.

>>Whereas what really needs to happen is for various aggressor parties to be legally restrained from using coercion to begin with.

Examples of laws where this happens would be great.

>>And that's not even touching the dynamic where various types of aggressors end up shooting first despite being in the wrong, cry "self defense", and then successfully avoid getting charged with second degree murder.

Examples please.
That would still be under impersonated law enforcement
Still won't be enough. Driving I-5 from LA to SF on a reasonably warm day (85+F) means the phone will shut down within the hour if it's on the dashboard. I've specifically gotten a phone mount that attaches to the AC vents for that purpose.

Asking a question with another question without answering mine directly isn't a good way to start a conversation.

It's really a genuine question since it is true that Steam doesn't reveal their Steam Deck sales and figures on this, yet we are already assuming it is a 'success' without benchmarking their performance against the existing generation of gaming consoles.

Assuming you have the figures, do you know what they are and how it compares to the current generation of games consoles on the market?
It’s a toy example of solving an abstract task that using classical techniques would have been impossible, but by combining the abstract semantic capabilities of LLMs with classical techniques becomes fully achievable. The problem with classical agents and other techniques is they fail hard when faced with a landscape that was unanticipated or requires a comprehensive semantic awareness beyond the models domain. LLMs provide a space where abstract semantic “reasoning” can happen. It isn’t a deterministic optimizer in any way, no matter the attempts to show it can do basic math tasks etc with larger models and context lengths. But why does it have to? There are tasks, class as classification, description, semantic analysis, and others it does very well at. By combining techniques you can create agents that are much more robust and autonomous in many different situations that wasn’t practical before.

This example could very well have been a factory robot that can use LLM to assist in solving unanticipated challenges, expanding its generalized capabilities beyond a very narrow and specific task set. For instance, the same machinery can have the ability to assemble many different things with minimal additional programming by providing it with specifications, drawn plans, quality control criteria and examples, etc. The LLM can use those to encode instruction to its specialized sub systems that operate with classical techniques to achieve some goal based optimization. The “glue” so to speak to achieve the abstract task is supplied by the LLM. As it performs if it’s doing things wrong reprogramming is as simple as promoting it with the error and examples of better. Through reinforcement techniques the more it performs the tasks and encounters edges and errors the better it’ll get. Compared to current factory floor robotics this would be a remarkable advancement as floors could be reconfigured more rapidly, and the set of specialized machines could be reduced to a more general and commodity set.
1. No legal cause or case.
2. They were basically trespassing, if only the owner asked them to leave.
3. Person invited them in and let them take their property.

Geez people really just create the drama they want. Easily should've told them to pound dirt and slam the door in their face.

Instead the article goes on about one agent being apologetic, and the others not caring.

People really are not aware of their rights.

Remember, if someone has to ASK you or have you CONSENT you can say no. But it seems people don't know they can refuse anymore.
On your home page you list Microsoft as being one of your clients. I'm pretty impressed that you managed to sell them what appears to be (mostly) their own data.
What do you mean by “higher level”? AI code generation tools are extremely useful to people who know how to code, but how is it useful if you can’t understand the code it spits out. They are far from bug free and prompting it to handle complex business logic is tricky. If the higher level paradigm is simply English, then I don’t see it. If something else, I’m curious what you foresee.

You realize the house price obsession is rather uniquely British, right? It's a bit of a national stereotype to people outside the UK. In many countries it's considered normal to rent, including rich countries.

https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/land-of-lessees_swiss-continue-...

Weirdly, the dominance of renting in Switzerland doesn't stop the Swiss having children. So this is really very much a media induced anxiety disorder of some sort. It's not rational to decide whether or not to have children based on whether you can get a mortgage.
It helps to start with recurrent neural networks first, since those were the previous standard way of doing next-token-prediction. They worked, but training them was extremely slow because it couldn't be parallelized. Transformers are a way of getting mostly the same capabilities as RNNs but with a parallelizable architecture so you can actually train it with huge parameter numbers in a reasonable amount of time.
Graydon Hoare created Rust as a personal project while working at Mozilla Research in 2006 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)

I'm using self checkout almost daily, in different stores with different systems. I almost never have any issues. The last time I had to call for help due to an unscannable bar code was at least 6 months ago. Staff is also available to approve purchases that has a minimum age requirement.

I don't recognize the situation that you describe, and I have been using these several times a week for a decade.

You mention paying by cash, which tells me you are probably an American (I pay by card or an app). It could be that your systems are worse, but there's nothing wrong with self checkout in general

It sure sounds like it to me, even if only implicitly. They were certainly being intimidating, and intimidation rests on the foundation of the threat of violence.

That was d&d, I’m talking about magic stuff. Just off the top of my head, they just seem generally incompetent and people keep buying.

Here’s some stuff I remember:
-underprinting (legends) and overprinting (fallen empires)

-saying they wouldn’t reprint things (reserved list) then reprinting some, and monkeying around with it for 5 years

-original magic online in early 00s was completely poorly built at the time of lots of other MOOCs and a super lively IRC open source client, Apprentice, that they could have just cloned

-launching their new digital game, arena, as desktop only for its first three years

-killing their tournament play

-cutting out local stores with direct to consumer sales (and massive distribution through Amazon)

-$100 “vip” booster packs

-poor quality control that makes cards look like pringles

-multiple versions of each card with different foiling techniques

-firing artists over liking tweets

-new product every two months instead of 3-4 times per year

-freaking out over leaked spoilers

-telling some people what cards would be reprinted beforehand to have them purchase or sell accordingly

-not putting shandalar on steam/ never making sequels
The real answer is her question, "why would I move?" Recruiter probably didn't have a good response.

But for a lot of people the answer is "I want to live somewhere else." I relocated away from a really nice job with challenging work and interesting co-workers simply because I didn't like where I was living. I suspect that I'm not the only one.
Biohacking is not feasible at this time—at least in my opinion:

* TMS machine is a powerful precise device that is expensive and unlikely to be safe from doing-it-yourself
* Every brain is different, so, you’ll need to get an MRI if not an fMRI to understand the structure to target
* Once you have a target, you’ll need to align the device with your skull
* It’s not clear how you’d measure or control the regime on the brain, even if you made it to here

The last thing I’ll say is that you should look for the complaints made against TMS device manufacturers. I’m optimistic that this approach will work for some people; I know many people who could benefit from this technology but I’m not comfortable with recommending it to a family member when I know there’s a risk of permanent brain damage, tinnitus, etc.

Please fact check my claims by visiting the US government database to find complaints against these TMS manufacturers: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/s...

Top manufacturers should be a Google search away.

You’ll find examples of seizures, etc in there.
You may be willing to make the tradeoff, but you should acknowledge the downsides.

The most extreme example is in academia where they get a lot of stability in exchange for an excruciating job hunt and interview process. And if they don't like the job, they are stuck.

I would rather have a world where we can take a chance on someone, then not. If you have all your ducks in a polished row, and look and act the right way, maybe you prefer protection against that.

If you're a programmer, start with Karpathy's video series. For a somewhat gentler intro, take a look at the MIT intro lectures first to build up on the fundamentals.
