Don't forget about the monopsony problems. Large buyers distort markets faster.

> Previously, farm workers believed it was fair to work 70 hours with no overtime compensation.

Correction: previously the farm workers believed it was better to work 70 hours with no overtime compensation, rather than starve or become homeless.

> If we keep making low rung jobs illegal there is no ladder for people to climb.

There was no ladder to climb when piecework was legal, there’s no ladder to climb now. Just because a vanishingly small number of people in America manage to get out of poverty, that doesn’t justify a society structured so there will ALWAYS be large population of people in deep poverty. Nobody should be forced to work 70 hours to feed their family, while we are this rich a nation.

> A judgment of fair payment is up to the employee and the employer not the nation as a whole.

Here I agree. Employees should band together, and use their collective power to extract as much wealth as possible from their employer - since that’s exactly what the employer is doing to them. The job of the government is to support the workers, they are the plurality of the people, after all.
That's some funny math. When I had to travel for work, I did not get paid for every hour of the day I was away from home at the job site.

Capitalism and incentives for companies and private citizens are the only way we will defeat climate change. If you think we'd have no climate change if we were all state owned or communists, you're naive. Also, your framing that the only way to give defeat something is to give up essential freedoms and have a command-and-control economy creates more pushback to the idea of even fighting climate change. You're just feeding right into the narrative that the entire thing is about control. Humans have conquered tons of things with markets and incentives, and we will do it again, without falling into a totalitarian regime.
Generally the output of a machine is not copyrightable. Similarly, the contents of a phone book is not copyrightable in the US even if the formatting/layout is. So I could take a phonebook and publish another one with identical phone numbers as long as I laid it out slightly differently.
>and fully allowing them to weave a narrative - while only talking to the workers to get a few pull quotes backing up one element of the story: that things have gotten worse.

I do read, history books for example. Using quantum physics to argue some meta-physic view on life is, well, it is I guess... I think it is loughable.
It's a complicated question and I don't think anyone can give a clear yes or no answer before some court has ruled on it. One school of thought is that copyright is designed to protect original works of creativity, but weights are generated by an algorithm and not direct human expression. AI generated art, for example, has already been ruled ineligible for copyright.
> whereas cheapest battery replacement costs are north of 25,000 USD/EURO sometimes 25% or more of the cost of the a new car.

You know that not all EVs cost 100k+ as you seem to be implying. For a perfectly adequate 50k car the battery would be 50% of the price. Really?

Anyway.. even if this were true how are you so sure that battery prices won’t continue going down in the next 10 years?

Also an ~8 year + 70% warranty seems to be pretty standard nowadays which would make no sense if manufacturers expected most batteries to become useless in 8-10 years?

I see you are not steeped in internet memeology...
Do the employees agree it's fair or are they desperate, in a survival mentality, and they take whatever they can get?

It's far-fetched to think a farm worker is going to ascend to a higher income. There is no ladder when you're making less than subsistence.
Yep, same with SSPL. GPL has been tested in FSF vs Cisco (2008), but none of the more restrictive licenses have.

I am a meditator from India. When I read the theory of meditation in Hindi, it is much more deeply understood (hindi as more words for explaining concepts of mind and consciousness) than english. However, I also think if someone is into experiential learning practices about the mind (such as meditation), it doesn't matter once you are sufficiently developed in those practices.

Nope. Because I think the White House's press release is expressing the White House's view of what's important. That the White House didn't get distracted by the chaff says nothing about the chaff or those firing it off.
In the diagram, there is theoretically another category outside the 'Restricted Weights' but maybe less than the 'Completely Closed' superspace, and that would be something along the lines of 'Blackbox weights and model' that is free to use but essentially non inspectable or transferrable. This would be the sister to 'free to use' closed-source software. An AI that is free to use but provided as a binary blob would meet this criterion. Or a module importable to python that calls precompiled binaries for the inference engine + weights with no source available. The traditional complement of this in the current software world would be Linux drivers from 3rd parties that are not open source. They are free, but not open.

We haven't seen this too much yet in the AI world, as mostly people who open the weights are doing so in a research manner, where the inference is decidedly needed to be open sourced- and people with closed models do so in order to make money and thus no reason to open source the inference side either, just charge for an API ("OpenAI").
I think you've muddled "Elysian fields" (the reward of heroes) with "being put out to pasture" (superannuation).

So we start with terraform fmt -check, terraform validate, and terraform plan.

Contract tests are used

Then we have test resources that get created, validated then instantly destroyed.

If we don’t have access to the CSP, then we can only go as far as contract tests. I can’t integrate with it live such as GCP.

If labor is one of the primary expenses, and the profit margin is low, then increasing the cost of labor will drive the profit margin into the negatives. In other words, the man can't run a business that pays the level you think it should - it would go bankrupt. So what do you propose as a solution?

Perhaps it is because in 2014, Russia broke its promises and stole Crimea with a military invasion and the west figured they could not be trusted and would almost certainly do the same thing again; which they did.
I assume GP was talking about a scenario in which you had not entered into a contract with Meta. E.g. if I just downloaded the weights from someone else.

Where are you getting 1.5x from?

The article is about 48 vs 40 hours. And that is just for the labor cost part of the price, while logistics, quality control, marketing,... stay fixed. So 1.2x would already be a very generous upper estimate.

> Your response to realising that you need some more information from someone part-way through build, and they won't be able to get back to you instantly, is to down tools and not do any work until they do?

It depends on context, but I won't write it off.

Here's the thing: it's correct from the point of view of managing work in progress. If you value responsiveness over busyness and presenteeism, you absolutely do not want to risk your utilisation approaching 100%.

If you actually don't care about WIP, sure, pick up the work.

> Things can not always be done instantly to fit the whims of developers.

It's nothing to do with the whims of developers, and I'm not sure why you think it's reasonable to write it off like that. If I'm in a system that's managing WIP, there's a reason for that. WIP-management is frequently used to keep the lead time for any given work item as low as possible; if I'm blocked on three things that means lead time on all of them is out of control and that's absolutely a management concern. Or mine, if there's anything I can do to get them unblocked. Picking up additional work while they're blocked means I'm guaranteed to be busy when they come back in, making their lead time worse than it would have been otherwise. In that situation it's exactly the wrong thing to do.

> I do not think I want to work with people like that.

That's fine - one "You may need to realise that you are not the center of the universe" and I don't want to work with you either.

>migrant workers come in and work for wages that no local person would accept

I'm sorry but this is more political talking points than reality... depending on jurisdiction, many of these ag positions are exempt from minimum wage, where people are still paid based on production. That is - the wage is kept low by regulation, put in place by the people who benefit from keeping those wages low.

You aren't wrong when you say there are migrant workers, but it's important to put that in context. In commercial ag, there are many types of workers who migrate around the country (and yes, also into Mexico) following the seasons. So for example if you are a skilled asparagus picker (yes this is a thing, and not a surprise it is mentioned in the article), you may start the season in Mexico, work through CA, and then continue northward following the season. So it isn't just a matter of "wages no local person would accept" but also a matter of training and skill. As an employer, you want someone who has the training and skills who you can trust year after year. Predictability. You don't get that hiring the local high school kids for the summer. Yes, I know there are places like Iowa where corn detasseling is a right of passage, but that's just not the case for the bulk of west coast commercial agriculture.
Oh boy, wish I had read this 6 years ago. I've had little stats training, and worked a bit in a research hospital. People would NEVER plot distributions, just give the mean. Frequently I had to beg for error bars. Eventually I started voicing my belief that everybody should be validating their distributions (which was ALWAYS assumed to be a Normal dist), because we HAVE the data, and in an earlier life I been working with log-normal distributions for which the mean was a useless measure. Couldn't convince anyone, probably because I never could state it this clearly and this well supported with stats knowledge. One of the reasons I left, this incredible creative poverty.
I don't see any questions except the murder one (which I noted is non-sensical) and some rhetorical ones.
The median age of the average car on the road in the US today is over 12 years. Independent mechanics everywhere are buying and installing rebuilt ICE vehicle engines on a daily basis; you will face no particular difficulty in sourcing one for pretty much any vehicle more than a year old.

I'm not saying this can't be - someday - true for EVs, but it's disingenuous to try and throw mud at the fact that this absolutely is the case for ICE cars today.

> 1. Constant crying wolf about climate change. I've been told we're "10 years away from climate catostrophe" since I was a kid in the 90s. But this time it's really about to happen, right?

A large part of the problem is that it's "we have 10 years to fix stuff, otherwise it will get really uncomfortable in 100 years". Followed by "ok, we didn't do anything and we will be kind of screwed, but if we don't correct course now things will be even worse in 90 years". But the big bad is always too far away for people to feel the consequences, so they feel like nothing happened.

Of course the other part is people running with fringe scenarios like "Europe will freeze over in a couple years".
In reality, in the case of an accident in polite company, most people would just say "the glass broke" since who broke it is irrelevant.

In a supermarket where I dropped a jar of pasta sauce, I said "the jar broke". Me breaking it was not important, since I wasn't going to pay for it.
You're not the commenter I was addressing, but it sounds like your position is: AI will eat the entire economy but that's going to go fine as long as it's entirely unregulated so that the magic of the free market can fix any problems. Is that right? Or maybe you're not endorsing "literally all" in the literally-literally sense, in which case it would be helpful to spell out what value you think AI will capture (for monopolists or otherwise).

Let’s take a simple linear regression model with a handful of parameters. The weights could be an array of maybe 5 numbers. Should that be copyrightable? What if someone else uses the same data sources (e.g. OSS data sets) and architecture and arrives at the same weights? Is this a Copyright violation?

Let’s talk about more complex models. What if my model shares 5% of the same weights with your model? What about 50%? What about 99%? How much do these have to change before you’re in the clear? What if I take your exact model and run it through some extra layers that don’t do anything, but dilute the significance of your weights?

It’s a murky area, and I’m inclined to think copyright is not at all the right tool to handle the legality of these models (especially given the glaring irony they are almost all trained using copyrighted material). Patents, perhaps better suited, but I’m also not sold.

The alternative to sprints is frequently no
process at all, not the strawman waterfall.

Yeah. I see criticism of agile/sprint/Scrum practices all the time and I just think: to what are these people comparing these practices? Developing a solo hobby project where there's no collaboration, scheduling, or management to worry about?

My experience over 25 years in this industry has been that it's a fairly chaotic place, filled with meetings and management and overhead. Every shop, manager, and team generally had its own ad-hoc and ever-shifting "process" or lack thereof.

I find that Scrum, while highly imperfect, is generally a step forward over that mess.

I've worked on others where it was debugging,
understanding existing code, research, and resolving
circular situations and in those cases [estimation
is impossible]

Yeah. The only resolution to this is a healthy respect for the time it takes to produce an accurate estimate. That process must be viewed and respected as a separate task, with an according amount of time allocated to it.

This is actually a fundamental concept of Scrum: https://www.agile-academy.com/en/agile-dictionary/spike/

But in my experience, teams absolutely shit the bed when it comes to this. Management wants estimates but does not want to allocate the time needed to come up with good ones.
