Based on this I think the likelihood of me enjoying the park is inversely related to how hard the park moderators have to squint to apply the park rules. I'm totally cool with people having a park where a stroller counts as a vehicle but it's not a park I would want to spend my time. (The only one I agreed with was the one where a random person drove their kia into the park)
I'd like the roads to be safer as well. Potholes and inoperable stop lights are rampant in Bay Area and generally in California.
Was this us (Fly.io)? I'm not sure how many companies give the 2 hour guideline, but we definitely do.

We don't fail take homes because of edge cases though. There are things we expect people to handle in the challenges that are important, but I don't think more/less time really influences those.
I suspect most people already know but I just wasted a few minutes:

I mean it really does seem like a compelling simulation of a real or imaginary world situation would be the best way to either sell accounting software or at least teach an economics class.

Particularly the parts about arbitrage.
It seems pretty spot on to me! A "vehicle", like "hate speech" or "words that glorify violence", is an category that humans create, and the things that fit in that category vary from person to person and situation to situation.

I'm curious — what do you think a better analogy would have been?

Figma and Sketch are fine and necessary for design tasks. We still need to quickly conceptualize and iterate on design ideas, including creating comps for research purposes.

The missing link, often, is then formalizing the design in some form that both developers and designers can use.

At the job I mentioned in my anecdote, we had a guy who lead our design system team. He had string design experience and was also a front end developer. He acted as the interface between the dec Org and the design team to create and develop a component library that was actually used in production and documented on an internal site.

Devs had real code they could use and design could focus on future products and reducing existing things.

Wait, they don’t? What’s missing?
I also had 11%, but included the tank memorial.
I think the police and ambulance examples are interesting. To me, they're clear and blatant violations of the rule. To be sure, I certainly think it's ok that they broke the rule, but they still broke the rule. Yet some (45% of respondents) clearly think the rule wouldn't apply to them in the first place?
Right? It's strange that the whole point of the essay is still lost on lots of people.
Or just return a 410 and force folk to deal with the situation when their dependency breaks. I'm not convinced the convenience outweighs the risk. Especially given how many folk are just out here git-cloning random stuff from unvetted "vendors".
Just adding: The above is actually basic epistemology. Anytime you design a study, you are supposed to ask, what is considered a fact, in what framework is it considered a fact, how is it defined in that framework, what is the claim and reach of the framework (hence its legitimacy), what are contenders or alternatives, how does this conform with the study design and the overall framework it fits in.
I also got 11% with a mix of yeses and nos. I'm guessing something broke. Hopefully the data is being logged correctly at least.
> If he'd said "mode of transportation" that night be more ambiguous- skating could be one or could be recreational and not to go anywhere.

Perhaps as a non-native speaker I miss some linguistic subtlety, but does not "mode of transportation" mean "thing to (help) bring person from A to B"? Thus whether skating is a mode of transportation (or not) should be rather clear.

In this sense it should not matter whether the transportation is recreational or not, i.e. you can also recreationally drive a car or recreationally go by train.
Well...We are a no lesser Species in this planet, and this was just a freedom of navigation operation...

People are saying that it's not, and that it's a strawman for what a layman's view of what content moderation should look like.
If everyone agrees you wouldn't have to do content moderation, it's not a meaningful point of consideration.
Appreciate the explanation. His unique perspective does sound useful.
My initial reaction was also something along the lines of spikes, but though it may be non-lethal, it isn't non-harmful, and depending on the unknown logic of an Orca, it may just force them to find an alternative method.

Great piece. At the end though there is a concerning bit.

We've seen numerous times now, censoring/railroading degrades quality. This is why SD 2 was so bad at the human form over 1.4

I get they want a PC AI but this isn't the way.
When one answers these questions, one must consider the reason behind the rule, the spirit of why vehicles are not allowed in the park: because this disturbs the park for many others in the park. It makes the park less enjoyable. People won't want to come to the park if it's full of cars.

Content moderation is about the same thing. It's about trying to minimize the negatives for everyone else while restricting the least. Part of Western cultural values seems to be that we want people to be free to have opinions that don't match the majority or those in control.

This is why the actions Elon Musk is taking in "moderating" Twitter are so problematic- they aren't about minimizing negatives for most users, they're about minimizing negatives For Elon Musk. This short sighted behavior erodes the platform in the long term.

That would depend on your definition of "carry." I personally wouldn't say that shoes "carry" people any more than floors do (which is to say, they don't).
Yeah, clearly the attitude that lead to the controller went too far, even if the controller itself wasn't a problem.
I was thinking some small electrodes, that run down the fin, to give them an uncomfortable tingle when they try to contact it. That way, it would still maintain a direct cause->effect relation from the fin, and not directly related to a human.

There are electric shark deterrent systems, but I don't think they're very good at speed, where the electrodes could be applied to the fin, using marine-readied conductive tape, or just thin wires at the leading/trailing edges.

From everything I can read, I think Jessica contributed as much as pg but I have no direct knowledge in their world and it's not my business to speculate there.

On the other hand, it would be hard to argue that Lucas, Bezos or Gates wives had same contributions in Lucas Films, Amazon and Microsoft. When I look at their cases, I feel they cashed out with massive windfall taking advantage of broken laws.
I only take issue with saying that the system worked. It didn't work, since it was designed to detect failures well in advance which it did not do. Almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

I wonder if they knew they were doomed or whether Rush was telling them not to worry to the very end. Personally, I think I would have rather been vaporized without the minutes of terror beforehand.

Well, startups are not actually a mainstay of European cultural tradition… ;-)

On the other hand, more traditional enterprises, like, say, Mercedes Benz, will be quite cautious with claims about their R&D, until they have their level III autonomous car system actually approved (and even then… don't make too much of a fuzz, as it is still limited, etc…)

What do you mean editing? I only commit at the end. I happen to set the date and time explicitly :) For all anyone knows my timezone was still off from traveling when I committed.

And yes, lots of companies have an interview process that state these things. The process makers are not the same people as are interviewing/going to be your team. I know from the other side where I have in the past internally had to advocate for proper take home practices. They really wanted to extend the take home and to say "should take 4-8 hours" (meaning really it's 2 days of work) . I told them that's BS and I wouldn't be with them right now if that was the practice back when I interviewed.

The worst thing that can happen is that they think you are cheating and they never even call you back. Bullet dodged. The best thing that can happen is that they do call you in for an interview and the interviewer tells you that you're so far the best sport and apparently know your git very well and you bond over it.
I thought the same - the surprising thing to me is that most people disagree apparently; my match was 11% with the majority.

In my mind the rule would obviously have related list of reasonable exceptions filed away somewhere; the simplicity of the rule is to improve the effectiveness of preventing the common case violation of regular people driving their cars through the park, causing damage and impacting the people using the park for its intended purpose.

In my opinion almost all of the examples provided were either obviously not applicable or were perfectly reasonable exceptions (and I don't think exceptions violate a rule).
These takes are trying to impose a weird "pure primitive world" take on something a pragmatic person would recognize for what it is. The orcas are messing with "weak" sailboats on purpose and leaving the "strong" boats alone. They're essentially bullying the sailboats.

To admit this doesn't make you a specist and doesn't force you to also believe that the animals should be harmed, btw.
One of the hypotheses being floated around is that the orcas are fighting back against boats after one of their elders were traumatised, and others include the idea that they're basically protesting against noise pollution, overfishing, dangers to water mammals etc.
It would appear the orcas do not share your defeatist attitude

Social norms are quite culture-specific. Online people from all countries and cultures interact, and that's where some misunderstandings come from.

It's not a big problem if everyone is civil and existing moderation mechanisms aren't overwhelmed; people quickly learn from online faux pas and the online social norm is restored.

"vehicle:"

* means of carrying or transporting something (planes, trains, and other vehicles) such as a) motor vehicle or b) a piece of mechanized equipment - Websters Online Dictionary

* 1) any means in or by which someone travels or something is carried or conveyed; a means of conveyance or transport: a motor vehicle; space vehicles. 2) conveyance moving on wheels, runners, tracks, or the like, as a cart, sled, automobile, or tractor. - dictionary.com

* a machine, usually with wheels and an engine, used for transporting people or goods, especially on land - Cambridge Dictionary

Any of these definitions could have been applied successfully to the series of questions on the website without ambiguity (edit: without ambiguity, but each would have led to different sets of conclusions). Which is to say, the entire point of the excercise reduces down to finding out which definition of the word someone is working from. This is only a problem if we're dealing with something that can't be defined, or something that we refuse to define.
I'm always assured by fans that it's the bad examples that make it online even though its always big Tesla fans posting the videos. Here's a skeptic and a fan on a short drive and a little more evidence for FSD still being quite bad.
It's been surprising to me to read through the comments posted here and seeing how most people seem to really despise take-home assignments during the interview process.

Speaking as someone who absolutely hates live-coding something during an interview (unless, maybe, by chance it's a practical exercise ... something like "build up this simple CRUD web service" ... not "solve this leetcode problem" ... but this is pretty uncommon in my experience, unfortunately), I rather like take-home assignments. As long as they don't take any more than 1-3 hours. I've been in situations where I've declined a take-home assignment that was given to me where I estimated it was going to take 10-20+ hours. No idea why any company would think that is reasonable.

For myself, what I hate is when the take-home assignment comes first. Like, before you talk with anyone at all, or maybe immediately after you did the 15 minute HR/recruiter screen. If I get a take-home assignment at that point, I decline.

There's no denying the fact that a take-home assignment is a large investment by the candidate on this random chance to get the job. I'm not willing to make that investment unless I've gotten a chance to talk to at least _some_ of the people I'd be working with at a company to better gauge what the situation is and whether I think it's a good fit for me. Even a 15-minute HR/recruiter screen is not going to do that. So yeah, if they just throw the take-home assignment at me right off the bat ... yeah, no thanks.

This all being said, yes, it is frustrating though to have to go through a bunch of these and get rejected with no feedback, or just ghosted, yeah.

So.. step #3 is full on money laundering. Got it. So simple.
"Travois" seemed the most interesting one. Based purely on the first page of Google images, it struck me as somewhere between a horse and a carriage, but ever more on the vehicle side.
In the US legal system, probably elsewhere as well, we have the concept of an "affirmative defense." That means "I committed the crime, but it's OK because of extra facts." That's different from denying one or more elements of the crime.

Example #1: I didn't poison Joe. I was out of town when it happened.

Example #2: I poisoned Joe. He had been sentenced to death, and my job is prison executioner. That's why I injected him with poison.

The second example is an affirmative defense. A murder occurred, but it was not illegal because it was authorized by the state.

I have a feeling that lawyers who took this quiz were more likely to answer yes for the ambulance and police car, but nonlawyers would answer no. That's because most people were answering the question "would they get in trouble?" But lawyers might have been thinking "is there a valid defense to a violation that actually did occur?"

In your example, calling for the death penalty isn't advocating for violence because executing someone in the justice system is legally permissible (let's not get into ethics or morality). The Reddit rule is generally understood to cover only illegal violence.
And, now you've land locked North America: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/s3/styles/original/s3/dam-mig...
One thing that makes this exercise fairly useless is that any real world law or rule would have exemptions for such circumstances, and a definition of “in the park” and what a vehicle is… not just one sentence with no clarification. Beyond that, also a history of previous legal interpretation to which one could refer.
That's why the analogy is so good! The police car and ambulance were the most obvious ones to me (other than the Honda Civic); surfboard and ice skates were much tougher. It shows how we're really seeing things through our own lenses, even when they seem so obvious that no one could conceivably disagree.

Also interesting: the fact that 50% more people described a skateboard being used as a vehicle than a skateboard being carried.
> That's not censorship (which legally refers to government restricting speech)

Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions and other controlling bodies. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

They oppose government censorship. - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/censorship (Now why would they have to specify government censorship, if there is no other kind?)

Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. - https://www.aclu.org/documents/what-censorship

Originally neutral in tone, the term has come to mean the suppression of ideas or images by the government or others with authority. - https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/censorship

Now that the facts are settled, let me mention that what you are doing is extremely common. A word has acquired a negative association, so you try to redefine it so your side can engage in the behavior it previously condemned. The exact same thing happened to 'racism'.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vehicle

Other definitions include an agent of transmission (e.g. for and infection) and a medium though which something is displayed (dance is the vehicle for my creativity). Would have been interesting to see the different definitions exploited vs more strained classification of shoes or skates or whatnot as vehicles.

There was one question about some sort of thing that was pulled that started with the letter T. I had no idea what that was. But then later it goes into detail defining what a Matchbox car is. I thought that was odd. Was the assumption that everyone would know what the T- thing is, but not a Matchbox car, part of the test?

Also, many people said the International Space Station was a vehicle in the park. I find that suspicious and question if people were choosing random or opposite or spurious answers just to pull the levers. I would like to hear from people who do believe the ISS is a vehicle in the park. What is your justification?

I've encountered the same with certain food items. My conclusion is that those items aren't profitable to deliver unless they come from the nearest physical store so unless they can deliver from there they classify the item as out of stock. In your case, I suspect that the furniture you want is not available near by so they show it as out of stock.

That's my guess. I hope someone that knows will comment.

> Exactly. By the strictest literal terms a rule prohibiting any call for violence would prohibit things which many people would find entirely unobjectionable like standing up for a country’s right to defend itself (with violence) against an aggressive invader.

Having rules against advocating for violence means that you want to prohibit such calls (otherwise you would have written down such exceptions and admit that calling for violence is sometimes OK).

Let me put it this way: what Reddit secretly wants is not standing up against advocating for violence, but avoiding the reputation risk that might happen if there exist to many post that advocate for violence in a way that causes an outcry.

In other words: the hidden problem is rather Reddit's "secret" agenda behind the rules.
