By adding "morally" it enforces questioning one's own principles in support of the thing.

Without "morally" it's dismissable nonsense (ie. bullshit). With "morally" it requires pulling at strands that make up our world-view.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to question one's world-view on occasion, but causing that level of fundamental questioning, for a comment that would otherwise be easily dismissable, is gaslighting.

Do average tech employees care about criminal misconduct by their employers?
Some employers run pre-employment or post-offer background checks. Those checks vary but will generally include felony convictions. If the employer does get a background check do they are supposed to get the candidate's permission, but criminal convictions and sex offender registrations can show up in Google searches. Some jurisdictions don't allow pre-employment background checks. In any case the candidate should know if the hiring process includes a criminal background check.

Some employers simply ask (usually on an information form) if the candidate has any convictions.

A candidate doesn't have to volunteer information, but should have an explanation for a criminal record should that come up. If asked the candidate shouldn't lie because lying to get a job usually gives the employer grounds to terminate later with cause (unless you get elected to Congress).
Once again, not necessarily.

A few states extend FCRA-like provisions for felony reporting. Most don’t.

Even if your state does extend those protections, most have salary caps: if you are (for example) a felon in Washington applying for a job over $20k in annual salary, the 7-year reporting exemption doesn’t apply to you.

Other states offer an exemption for misdemeanors but exclude felons entirely.

Assuming battery tech advances, how long would you expect SF<>LA trip to take?
I do not know the answer to your question, since for me programming has become a lot more enjoyable being able to throw outputs of LLM's together and then being the glue in between with my expertise. Coming from my perspective, going back would throw me into a career with prospects which I started to lose passion for. Doing the same thing over and over again, spending weeks on stuff I have already solved many times over in different flavors, frameworks and languages.

I understand that some engineers/developers struggle with this change, but it also seems to be a personal take on ground breaking changes which are shaking up this career path; which are positive for some, and negative for others. Maybe we are on two different part of the spectrum, because I can't wait to have my job reduced to prompting and building even bigger things. IF it was not that way, I would have been close to a career change. No doubt, these changes will introduce new engineering challenges, which will be equally as exciting and in need of an engineering mindset as the previous paradigms have been.
Ok, that settles it! Since I have never personally experienced police brutality, racism or sexism, I am going to be as dismissive when someone tells me of their personal experiences as you are of my account of an SF guy muttering with a knife. Alternatively, you could consider that you might have some special circumstances. For example, since you always lived in cities, you may have intuitions about where and when to go or not to go, and how to act to discourage troublemakers from approaching. You may just look not as the type to mess with. Or you might have just been lucky so far.

I’ve also been in that situation and considered something like a Roland Integra 7, which can be found for around $1k in good condition if one is patient and willing to buy second-hand from Japan. I already have a pretty nice Studiologic 88 key hammer controller, but using that with Ravenscroft 275 on an iPad with an interface, mixer, preamp, and the speakers in the living room (studio monitors) is still a pain to turn on and use when we want. Acoustic pianos are obviously the most immediate, but a Nord or other stage piano with powered monitors is pretty convenient too.

Hard disagree. Is Rust similar to natural language? Has English become more similar to <pick the easiest programming language>?
I'm imagining an AI based on a deductive system rather than sequential text generation. This is roughly how "strong type systems" work, and so it might be simpler to map this model to formal methods.

By the way, if you spend 90% of time debugging your code, I think that's really sad. Either the programming language sucks, or the codebase sucks, or both. I probably spend 10-20% max of my time on debugging.

>Why does an employer need to lend anything to union work or organizing?

The complaint alleges that Amazon prevented employees from posting union-related material in a non-work area during non-work hours, in violation of Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act.

Basically, Section 8(a)(1) makes it unlawful for an employer to interfere with or restrain employees in the exercise of their Section 7 rights, such as the right to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to engage in collective bargaining, or to engage in other concerted activities for their mutual aid or protection.

As you say, no one has figured end to end out. The way AI works some tasks get figured out quickly and some take a very long time. Elon has been talking about an end to end system for a very long time, and I’ve watched every lecture from Andrej Karpathy on their architecture. I like their plan, but they have been working towards end to end for years and I see no reason to believe anything will “change quickly”. AI is very much a “don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched” kind of technology. People can promise anything about AI, because when it works it feels like magic. But it’s not magic, and we can’t expect every goal to be met just because someone is using AI. Nobody knows what challenges lie ahead for an end to end self driving system precisely because no one has done it. And it should be noted that with their “hydra net” architecture it is relatively end to end but it is not a single large network, but an engineered assortment of many small networks. Quite a lot of human choice goes in to decisions around how to design that, and this also leads to edge cases. But even more general systems like GPT-4 suffer from issues with edge cases.

We still don’t even know how plausible a camera based system is. Human eyes and the human brain are so much more advanced than a computer and cameras, it may not follow that “images are all you need”.
"Just in Case" preparation maybe?
> His company had taken out commercial real-estate loans that carried floating interest rates and were adjusted each month. Those types of loans in 2021 offered initial rates as low as 3.5%. Everything changed when the Federal Reserve began raising rates last year, driving up monthly loan payments. Inflation contributed to higher expenses, and Applesway couldn’t raise rents fast enough to keep pace. After bills went unpaid, company properties went into foreclosure.

Adjustable rate mortgages strike again. Is there ever a legitimate reason to go adjustable rate? It just seems like such a great way to scam investors or blow up your own finances because you're optimizing for a low payment today instead of a consistent payment over the duration of the loan.

I agree with this take. Speaking of dogma and absolutes, I wonder what's your take on GP's comment: "Pure software dev jobs are very easy to do remotely".

Now with that perspective of pragmatism, I believe job of C-suite is to strike a balance between what's good for everyone on average. There would be some who are actually productive with fully-WFH and those who want fully-RTO. Which is why we are seeing a return to a hybrid approach. WFH a few days and RTO for a few days. The key is to mandate RTO days uniform across the org to ensure that benefits of RTO are actually realized.

Tech company profits are declining. Management (especially Boomer management) needs to be seen as "doing something" or they're the ones on the chopping block. So they force everybody back into the office so they can be seen to be managing.

God forbid the cause of declining profits be things like national monetary policy or years of short-term decision-making that propped profits up to unsustainable highs.

It's generally not worthwhile to try to get meaningful answers from someone who drank the Nintendo flavor-aid. Nintendo is a company that willingly chose to produce and monetize their software in this way. Nobody made them do anything. They wanted this, chose this, and brought this sort of thing to market.

They also took your ability to buy their games away (ownership such as it was) and forced you to buy a subscription to their Switch Online program just to own games you've probably already purchased at least once. Anyone that defends their approach is delusional at best.
I think this observation is spot on - and you don't have to look far to understand why individual productivity != systems productivity. 100% individual utilization in a system is a negative - manufacturing companies learned this years ago and is where the principles of the toyota system/kanban/lean manufacturing/etc. rose from. The only resource that should be 100% utilized in a process is the bottleneck - and anytime anyone is interrupted to help the bottleneck, that is a net win for the company output, even if individually it feels annoying.

It's really unfortunate that it seems so many people are in the "you can pry remote work from my cold dead hands" camp that it's hard to even have a conversation that doesn't devolve into "I feel more productive remote, so you shouldn't care where I work".

Couple of interesting implications:

Everyone repeats this argument, but it's wrong.

Higher speed -> you reduce the angle of attack -> lower cross-section. The drag per unit of area increases, but the area decreases. Overall, you still have higher drag, but you get faster to where you need to get. It is not pre-ordained that you need to burn more fuel overall.

In fact, you can end up burning less, not more fuel.

Here's why: drag per se doesn't matter. What matters is the lift-to-drag ratio [1]. To keep the plane at a constant altitude, the lift needs to be equal to the gravitational force acting on the plane. To keep the plane at constant speed, the thrust needs to equal the drag. If the lift-to-drag ratio is 10, the thrust needs to be one tenth of the weight of the plane.

Now, the fuel consumption per second is roughly proportional to the thrust. If you double the speed and the lift-to-drag ratio gets cut in half, your overall fuel consumption is the same. But here's the thing: in supersonic regime, the lift-to-drag ratio does not get cut in half. The empirical lift-to-drag ratio is 4(v+3)/v, where v is expressed in Mach number. For example at Mach 3 you get LTD ratio = 8 and at Mach 6 you get 5.33.

Of course, things are not that rosy: on one hand the airplane needs to be sturdier, because it needs to withstand higher vibrations. On another hand, even if in cruise mode you may save fuel, it's difficult to optimize the plane in a very wide range of velocities. Concorde was horrible at low speeds, so it was burning a lot of fuel at take-off; it is quite obvious that a plane is the heaviest at take-off, so if you burn more fuel at that point, you really burn more fuel.

But design has made huge advances in 50 years. We may be able to optimize better an airplane now than we could when the fastest supercomputer was slower than the iPhone in your pocket.

Bottom line: it is not at all obvious that a supersonic plane needs to burn a lot of fuel, and it may be that it could actually burn less than a subsonic one.

True, true. We may see a change of heart for them if solid state LiDAR ever actually hits the market, but last I checked Velodyne/Ouster keep announcing things and then letting them disappear. I did see them saying they have samples available for 2025 model years cars so perhaps Tesla could be testing with that now. I don’t see them deploying mechanical LiDAR but solid state is similar enough to a camera they may do it.

Edit: then again for such a critical component Tesla might want to make their own solid state LiDAR, or at least license someone’s technology so they can produce them on their own terms.

It's worth considering whether that's a positive, or if the extra coordination is required simply because there are fewer and slower information channels available to communicate vs. on-site.
But that's exactly the point. The game of 20 questions is exponential as well. To uniquely identify a thing, the more specific you go, the level of precision needed to be unambiguous blows up. However, as a dialogue, you don't have to fully spec out every branch of the tree ahead of time. They ask a yes or no question and the ambiguity decreases exponentially for every question asked.

By having a dialogue, you can resolve only the ambiguities pertinent to the specific question at hand.

I've noticed a similar trend in myself. WFH was, averaged out by day, (to the extent I can objectively do that through my own memory) more productive when I was 100% WFH than now, where I am 40-60% WFH. Overall I think it's probably a wash: I think I'm a bit more focused when in the office now than pre-covid, which makes up for the the less focused time at at home.

However there may be less tangible benefits, even if overall productivity is a wash, to having the WFH times. 1) Is the obvious work/life balance. Everything that comes with the convenience of not having to commute, freedom to intersperse everyday household chores during the workday even when it means extending working hours a little later, etc. 2) Is that when I'm WFH I seem to be a little less concerned with the immediate work issues and more likely to drift off into peripheral & speculative projects, things that may yield less results in the short term but might (too soon to really say) yield more in the long term.

Overall I think my general output is about the same, but I'm more content, and perhaps (though not definitively) doing things that will be more productive in the long term.

But there are countless different jobs and responsibilities and personalities that intersect in a way that doesn't lend itself to a single one size fits all rule. But unfortunately, "One rule for all" tends to be the top down approach in most work environments.
If that became popular enough, would you eventually need something akin to air traffic control for those waterways? I'm not sure existing water navigation rules and protocols would be a good match for these gliders, because they might not be operated by experienced sailors, because their altitude is also a potential collision-avoidance factor, but most of all because of their speed.

I imagine other waterway users being frightened, but also having enough demand for coastal transportation in Southern California, specifically because of the speed, that you end up potentially operating dozens of these at a time in the same region.

(It looks like you answered part of that in a different part of the comments, but I'm still curious about the big picture.)
This is a perennial favorite of transportation NIMBYs.

Where I live extending the light rail the last little bit over the river to Washington state is a no brainer, but it's been paralyzed by decades of opposition from suburbanites in Vancouver Wa. My friend's dad is/was one of the key activists. He'd stand in planning meetings and no joke scream about how "criminals" were gonna ride the train up, break into someone's house, steal their tv, then ride the train back. Lots of saying "crime train" over and over again.

We have solid data that building transit lines actually decreases crime. This man is a credentialed civil engineer. He rejected that evidence without consideration every time we put it in front of him.

I have zero respect for these people. If you talk to them for just a few seconds it becomes readily apparent the root is just straight up racism, but they don't wanna own it overtly.
