I doubt there are that many Boomers left in tech management - almost all that age cohort are in retirement or semi-retired, they're enjoying their Saga cruises and golf courses (or if they're unlucky, their Walmart greeter jobs).

I suspect there are managers panicking about losing relevance in a post-office world, but those will be middle-managers, not CEOs. Much of the panic is from owners of commercial real estate and their flying monkeys in the media who are seeing empty office blocks and declining property values and rents.

As for Musk, who knows. He's in his own very weird bubble of long-terminism or cosmism or whatever it is he believes in. Maybe he thinks if everyone works from home it will lead to a drop in birth rates or decline in Western society or something.
> I know this is a bit of a meme now in HN, and I agree that GPLv3 is certainly a much better license.

The GPLv3 is certainly an open source license, sure.

Better in blanket terms is...not the point I’m making, and I am not arguing that, in this space, all open source licenses are categorically better than non-open source licenses.

But, I do think its important to describe licenses accurately and understand the implications of particular licenses.

> However to push back a bit, I would say that at least the license allows researchers to do the important work that needs to be done.

Yes, as far as sharing research, this is worlds better than OpenAI. And its worth noting that while the usage restrictions aren’t as competition-restricting, the most widely touted successful “open source” model (Stable Diffusion) is also not open source strictly (the license has usage restrictions) though there are some notable truly-open-source models.
Others have mentioned Materialistic and Glider. Both are great options that I used for a few years. However, I've recently changed to Hacki. It's also in the core F-Droid repo and works great for me as a HN client. Since it will even try to notify you of replies
In some mainframes and micros, the filesystem is based on database model, there are no files.
Put simply, someone somewhere made a decision to enact security theatre. Usually this happens because a non-technical manager made or approved a decision that looks good to the important people above them. It could also be due to following some ridiculous audit requirement to the letter. (Security audit requirements are also generally written by non-technical people.)

There is really no way you are going to convince anyone in the company to change these policies. They are already not listening to reason. If this is really the worst part of working for this company, I would say let it go because you're doing far better than average. But if the whole workday is filled with crap like this that prevents you from getting any real work done, then maybe it's time to start looking around.

> The gap between an LLM and a "human with below average intelligence" is far more than 10x.

In which direction?

GPT-4 passes the bar exam with a top 10% score. How do you think a human with below average intelligence (or even with average intelligence) would fare?

Copilot generates programming code that solves problems, and in most cases the code is correct. It outperforms many junior professional developers. Do you think a human with below average intelligence could do that?
No they're not. They're superior at specific tests when prompted.

But asking for a complete application nearly always fails, when an average human that knows programming should be able to make one that works.
This reminds me of the Octuple MIDI tokenization scheme introduced in the MusicBERT paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.05630.pdf). Would be interesting to see how much of a performance difference results from using a smaller decoder model (in Megabyte) instead of just doing a softmax (a la Octuple).

I have a hard time feeling sorry for landlords in these scenarios. Welcome to the cold world of business. Sadly, your property being damaged is simply a risk of that type of business, and just like I wouldn't be sympathetic to an excavator hire company whose digger comes back in need of repair, I don't think landlords deserve any sympathy either.

> companies are using their resources

Precisely the OP’s point it seems. The company is using the company’s own resources whereas the employees are using someone else’s resources ie the company’s resources. Why is it justifiable to violate the property rights of the company owners to exert influence on jobs that the company also owns?
Billionaires own the most widely circulated print media in the U.K. so it doesn’t seem impossible that this agenda is being influenced.

Especially when those exact papers spilt a lot of ink telling people to “get back to work” despite the fact those people were always working during the pandemic.
In randome order

1) Positive PR to compensate, e.g for privacy law violation fines (see yesterdays news cycle)

2) Identifying and nurturing the next generation of hires or acquihires in this very technical area

3) Depriving the competition from alternative business models that might threaten the adtech walled garden they exclusively rely on

4) Collecting ideas about how these models can be improved or used creatively (related to 2)

5) Keeping some key employees happy with intangible rewards (name recognition, career prospects)

When you spend billions on development this type of strategic leakage is just a few marked droplets into a digital ocean
If my company's office were close, I would return to it without much of a fight. But my roundtrip commute is over three hours. That changes my entire day/life. That's a lot of time and energy spent and the benefit isn't clear to me, at least not the way the office is currently structured or laid out. Our office is an open office plan and engineers are near sales and others whose job is to chat on the phone all day, making it nearly impossible to get any deep work done. The reality is that on the rare occasion that I do go to the office, no real work gets done. Constant interruptions, I maybe get 30 minutes of uninterrupted, heads down work done. There is so much socializing and roaming around and eating that goes on at the office. When I'm home, I'm just working all day. Being in the office is kind of cushy, actually. But a) I'd rather do my best work and b) I'm willing to work harder at home if it means I can avoid spending a large chunk of my day commuting. I think companies really need to make the office a place you _want_ to come to. Give me a space that's conducive to work. Make the office feel more inviting than home. Simply saying "you all need to be in the office" just isn't going to cut it. I know I've conveyed a few unrelated ideas here, but that's my ramble. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk :P
Nirvana fallacy
There’s a technical detail here to note though. To management the share price actually does matter because they have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder returns, and the board even more so. So while it’s true equity has no bearing on current operations, current operations does have to consider share price.

> I imagine previous generations blamed radio and newspapers.

Speaking of which, when people bring these things up it's usually framed as "see? there's ALWAYS been some new media to complain about!"

But this isn't really true. The treadmill of new mass media really only began at all (in a very small primordial way) with the printing press, and in earnest with radio. Prior to radio, things really were very different, and did not change dramatically for hundreds of years. Radio brought about massive change and people did have a hard time adapting to it, although they did eventually, but ever since then, we've been on a treadmill where just as one generation manages to get a handle on how to deal with a new media technology, yet another one comes out, throwing everyone off balance again.

The idea that this is how things have always been for humans is ignorant. This is new to the last hundred years or so. Prior to this people had the privilege of learning how to deal with the world and pass on their wisdom to their kids without having most of their wisdom invalidated before they could finish raising their kids.
It isn't very efficienct honestly. It is better to produce a lot of the little components ship those and then complete assembly at the destination. One it ensures jobs, two is prevents cargo from getting stuck in places.

Source production is not only more energy efficient but also a great way to increase profits in certain territories. Also it will balance much of the economy internationally.
Hmmm. I think the point was that NIMBYs fight bike lanes because they’re concerned about what they could bring.

I don't think it's nostalgic. I was locked out of my rental a couple days ago because of a crappy Samsung "smart" lock which is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. It also happened that it was 2 AM and it took half an hour for a technician to come over. There is no fail recovery for these stupid locks unless you have a couple tools on your hands at which point it's better to just take a traditional "key"?

While the technician was manipulating the thing I was surprised how badly its designed. How fragile its whole "state" and memory and how easily you can get it to reset itself or to lock yourself. This is, supposedly, an important thing and it can be critical (no technician that night? You'd be locked out of your apartment until morning. Good luck figuring it out.) What if it happened when you took the garbage out and your wallet/phone are not with you? Well, you are in a weird situation. I take my wallet and phone now to throw the garbage out. This is a regression of living standards.

And I'm a techie and I'd love that everything become IoT or "smart" but it has to be done right. The developers have to consider the criticality of the tool they are building and designing. Unfortunately, today, this is not taken into consideration. There is a blatant disregard of any of that and instead you have a focus on aesthetic, advertising, marketing, short-term profit, scale, reach, data collection, etc... But real, reliable functionality is thrown out of the window.

The system got to be breaking at some point. I think we are at that point and a big re-structuring of the tech sector will eventually happen.

That was a real head scratcher for me too. I really think it was some kind of a virtue signal. He framed it in a way that evokes a kind of righteous indignation from people...like calling out the privilege of people who work from home when there are nurses who have no choice but to be at their workplace. I too tried to see the argument, but I just don't get it. I _can_ work from home and some people can't...therefore I ought to travel to some arbitrary place...for what exactly? As a show of solidarity with people who don't have a choice? I just don't get it...

Hint: ML will get better. Humans will not. ("Slow moving target," indeed.) What we're learning is just how many aspects of our vaunted 'intelligence' are really just features of our languages and the graphs they encode.
Have you tried getting it to write a high level description before reproducing the code with comments? (via either FSL or instructions) Most of the reasoning ability in LLMs comes from them rambling about something and then the attention picking up on the rambling when it needs to generate the conclusion. If you skip that then the output will probably be much less coherent.

I don’t have a problem with the term Human Resources. It’s not trying to hide anything, it’s stating the obvious utility. It’s not trying to do anything extra or communicate something it’s not.

Worse would be something like Vanguard of the Revolution or Organization for the Workers, etc.

Just because our kind of people thinks of it as the dream job does not mean every type of person shares that ideal!

The law of headlines should also mention that they mention events in the future: “Today, we expect the president to meet with xyz and announce what they will do with abc”, building up the thrill, rather than reporting when it’s done and the announcement is made.

Journalists talking about the future. That’s not journalism.
No professional physicist I know thinks natively with relativistic mass. They much prefer m to mean the rest mass, a relativistic invariant, and to include explicit factors of (v/c) or γ when they're talking about frame-dependent quantities.

Anecdotally, this is also good pedagogically: the mass is an inherent, invariant property; avoiding the relativistic mass helps students. Just make sure to drive home that E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2 is a statement about a four-vector magnitude.
Thisbis done, of course. Risk with securing long-term prices so is that those prices might be higher than short term ones for the same future period. So usually, admittedly it is a while I did raw material procurement and aerospace is different, you use a combination of both.

You can still get squeezed so either way. But that has close to nothing to do with JIT, JIT just concerns the delivery bit (over simplified of course).

But those aren’t moral issues, they’re productivity issues. My younger brother used to do his computer job from the office because it was attached to the factory. It meant he could talk directly with the people manufacturing the steel frames he specified in the building dressing to get the right thing built quickly. This was a USP of the company vs other design shops.

This could be true for Tesla, there’s no morality to this. The fact Musk brings morality in suggests he’s talking out his arse.

Twitter is a different company. If he doesn’t bring morality into it, he doesn’t have to be a hypocrite. He could easily say “working on site is necessary for Tesla, not for Twitter.” Being dogmatic is not good business.
