I agree with this sentiment. Imagine if we tied reductions in working hours to productivity increases…

The fundamental problem, IMO, is unintuitive: it’s property rights. Specifically, we have all these complex financial instruments (assets) and have commodified/securitized/priced in many assumptions resulting in a price. Even small changes in those underlying assumptions can hugely affect asset prices and result in some entities losing massive amounts of asset value. This is very upsetting to precisely the people with the most power and influence, who don’t even stand to gain much from things like income redistribution or a reduction in output so we get what you’d expect given that

That’s why we often end up with hugely wasteful things like the military industrial complex, US insurance system, or the grant system in the EU. Once people are extracting huge amounts of value from something, even if everybody else would be better of on average if the thing stopped, it’s hard to stop it.

There’s also of course the global competitiveness problem. As you note we can simply reduce consumption to address that, but the semantics of that at scale are a hard sell in many cases. When it’s demand driven, like central business district coffee shops going out of business because consumers don’t want to shop there anymore due to WFH, it’s not so bad. But if it’s not demand driven, you end up in a situation like the UK is in now where inflation goes haywire and everybody is sad that the economy sucks.

Everything in a set of financial statements that the auditor refuses to sign off should be considered bullshit.

So that would be the financial statements of every bit of pentagon funding, which will no doubt continue to increase.

An assertion of a $600 hammer (or a $6 one) should be considered equally as a billion dollar unicorn in those financial statements.

AI Engineer Pay Analysis (Levels.fyi)
I am a contractor in a niche industry but a little downtime, of up to maybe 2-3 days at the start of a new project is enormously valuable as time to think deeply about the task before you have an overwhelming to-do list. Getting paid $1500 a day to read manuals is not at all surprising when I know people who have gotten almost that much to do little to nothing.
I mean we have a trillion dollar fighter which is still dangerous for pilots. The small things are overblown and the big things even when they hit the news don't get appreciated.
Well it depends.

Hidetaka Miyazaki,for example, is one such “auteur game designer” and it’s very clear when he has had his influence on a game.

Just compare Dark Souls 1 or 3 (which he worked on) to Dark Souls 2 (which he didn’t work on) and Bloodborne (which was created by Miyazaki in parallel with DS2) and you’ll see that his influence on games that he has a direct hand in is massive.

Or for something more relevant, the first and only Metal Gear game released after Kojima was fired by Konami - Meta Gear: Survive - was an unmitigated disaster. Metal Gear Solid 5 was unfinished and flawed, but there’s no denying that it had Kojima’s flourish on it.

Yeah I think this ties into not only the fact that we are highly paid, but also how unions generally form. When everyone works at a factory and have similar positions, you can stand outside and hand out flyers and have face to face conversations. With programmers, you might have a few others on your team that match your job description, then PMs, managers, designers, etc. Imagine trying to get a portion of the engineers at a midsize company together and you won't even have enough power to do anything but get yourselves fired.

To me, this is why if you want a more ethically bound software industry, you need regulation, not unionization.

The difference is Walgreens took the tech and held it out to the public, implicitly stating that they had done appropriate due diligence and the outcome was that they were backing it.

Being a Secretary of State or other politician and investing and sitting on the board only means that they thought it presented a reasonable investment opportunity and that they believed they could execute board governance requirements. I don’t think anyone believes Henry Kissinger could do due diligence on technology.
And the stronger this rejection, the stronger the pressure on anyone who represents a counterexample to the dogma to leave.
I just downloaded and read: https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/921859O/3m-true-definiti...

I get the impression that 3M provided a range of services in conjunction with the scanner product. From that I assume that most of the processing was being performed on 3M SaaS servers. Which in turn suggests that raw scan data was being sent to 3M and various outputs sent back.

So I think you have yet another example of planned obsolescence, just like your iPhone, etc.

I went right before the pandemic and it was truly awesome, so let's hope so! Not sure though.
Under that system, a Honda Civic driver who’s angry about the ultra-rich could allow himself to ‘accidentally’ rear-end a Lamborghini, knowing that even though he will be found at fault, his insurance has a standardized repair cost cap, while the Lambo driver’s going to be on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars (either directly, or his insurance costs are going to skyrocket). It might be possible to design a system that doesn’t have this perversity, but it’s hard to see how that could be possible without imparting at least a little bit of “that car looks expensive, I should take more care around it” expectation onto drivers of regular cars.

I do agree that ultra-expensive-to-repair vehicles do impose extra costs, but I also think to some extent that cost is already priced-in by both insurance companies and the current system probably handles it better than it would with your proposed change.

I've tried this and chatpdf with some Computer Aided Geometric Design mathematics theses and papers. These tools do not seem to "read" the math parts of the papers, only the text.

Ecstatic this is finally being publicly addressed after half a decade

The actual awsdocs source code was never really open. The internal source code wasn't even the same language and the Github markdown files were just build artifacts generated from the internal source code using something like XSLT. Some services didn't upload anything at all for years

Public issues will be sorely missed if repos are archived, but soliciting pull requests in the initial announcement never made complete sense because PRs usually created more work for AWS' tech writers because PRs edited build artifacts instead of the actual source code used to generate them

---

Was never a tech writer myself, but always empathized with them knowing how much AWS leaders rush launches out before they're ready and refuse to make necessary investments post-launch while individual contributors slog through maintaining hacks like this for half a decade before leaders publicly acknowledge the extent of internal issues
No, I wouldn't use it for anything critical either. But then, I'm required to support IE11 as long as Microsoft maintains it.

My attitude towards stuff like this is if you're just using it for a bit of visual extra that doesn't break basic functionality, go for it. Comment above was suggesting site was broken without it. That's just a bad idea. We've managed for decades without this, there's no design that requires adding works in progress, even if it only breaks for 1% of your users.

And if something is a spec in progress, definitely be prepared to keep an eye on it for sudden fixes in the future. It's happened more than once.

The unibody design, while still bad, actually seems to be a bit of a red herring in this case. The article describes that the actual cause for disassembling the entire vehicle was that they had to replace the tailgate, and had to repaint the body to match the new tailgate. Painting the body basically required disassembling the entire truck (which is also ridiculous).

For the painting though, even in "simpler" cars, vehicle painting is ridiculously overpriced and complex, IMO. I've been quoted nearly $2000 to fix a dent the size of a nickel on my basic 10 year old car because the body shop said they'd have to repaint the entire door, then repaint all of the panels adjacent to the door to blend it in. In other words, fixing a dent the size of a nickel somehow requires repainting an area thousands of times larger. It's ridiculous. There must be a better way.
I’m on the same page. It also requires users to create an account in order to get the free version, and I would argue that in most cases that’s part of a monetization funnel.
>petty things like political differences

To be fair, political differences are a result of moral and ethical ideology. It's fine to not involve yourself with someone whose ideology is antithetical to goodness as subjective as it may be for some.

I will never understand someone who says political differences are petty. Thinking that the traffic light's hue of yellow is a shade too light or dark is petty. Thinking that pregnant women should die because the unviable fetus their carrying is more important than they are is not petty.

One argument I believe is that younger populations have shown interest in change. Assuming that holds true, it’s interesting to speculate about how demographic changes in western economies will undermine their impulses, as increasingly older populations will be less and less inclined to embrace change.

Software can address units of any size, by packing and unpacking bits from bytes (or more likely words) in the underlying implementation. I don’t know about any specific NN implementation here, just commenting in general that the size of the addressable unit and the size of your reads can writes can be completely independent. I routinely use bit-packing data compression techniques in CUDA, for example.

It's a bit unclear from your comment whether you're saying situational depression is different from chronic depression. Having seen chronic depression, I would say that in at least some people it is triggered by stressors. Obviously when it is chronic there are other factors at play such as genetics, childhood experiences, etc. which make depression more likely to happen at any point in time.
From Wikipedia... "McDonalds had received more than 700 reports of people burned by their coffee to varying degrees of severity". I remember reading a lot about this. It was the fact that McDonalds knew they had a dangerous product but wanted to keep it "hot" at the drive-thru so it would still be drinkable after people finished their car rides. That was a large factor of why the courts found McDonalds 80% liable in the case.

SVB was essentially a social-media fueled bank run, and it took out FRC as well. They were both vulnerable to a run in ways that should not be allowed, but the fact remains both would be solvent still had the rumor-mill not sunk them.

the use of words like "attention" or "hallucinate" as 'terms of art' concerns me because while its actually fine and normal to re-purpose normal english discourse words to have highly specific meaning in a field, When you use them outside the cogniscenti, they carry meaning which is not strictly appropriate.

In this case, AGI proponents are using words which are highly loaded to mean "is a thinking, reasoning being" in some way.

I don't like it. I would prefer that they'd chosen words which were more neutral and not based on illusions of intelligence, or allusions to known intelligent behaviour.

"attention" is a thing, sure. But, if you use this word in formal session presenting to Congress, you're misleading them without conscious effort to believe you think "it's alive"

I don't like it. I think in hindsight calling the field AI was a huge mistake.

If you want something to hang on this, think about legal english and words like "real property" -do you really know what a solicitor or lawyer or barrister or judge means when they say that? or "without let or hindrance" -what does the word "let" mean there?

Within legal contexts, using the jargon is a given. misusing them outside the courtroom as a non-legal practitioner is a recipe for disaster. This is were "Sovereign Citizens" are playing: look how well that's going.

I grew up in the East Bay and was fortunate to have a camping trip there almost every Summer. Some of my earliest outdoor adventures were under, over, and around those giant trees. It really was beautiful.

If you want a similar experience now, your best bet is to head north on 101 into the Redwoods State and National Parks system, visit places like Avenue of the Giants and Women's Club Grove. All north of Garberville. Spots along the road will all be crowded from now through September, but if you do some exploring of your own, you can still find some nice quiet places full of enormous trees.
