I think it's less "this is bullshit" and more "this is receiving far more attention than long influenza or long any other infection". We've fixated on long COVID to a degree that might not be productive and which - if it has a psychosomatic component in some cases - might be causing more long COVID.
I haven't had an SO account in over a decade. In fact I had mine deleted per my request circa 2010 and it was Jeff Atwood himself who was handling that request. I still have that email interaction with him somewhere in my inbox :)
cool beans. I didn't think about it like that. Could be.
> And this is a superficial difference carried from old days when we need to do deployment and deployment-specific optimizations.

Is it? From what I understand, to use an analogy, ONNX is the bytecode specification and JVM whereas Pytorch, TF and other frameworks combined with converting tools are the Java compilers.
You're right. After reading what I'd wrote, there should be some reasonable expectations about a tool, such as how accurate it is, or what are the consequences to be wrong.

The AI detection tool fails both as it has a low accuracy and could ruin someones reputation and livelihood. If a tool like this helped you pick out what color socks you're wearing, then it's just as good as asking a magic 8-ball if you should wear the green socks.

Neon CEO here. Happy to answer questions!
Tough one. Sounds like you need to communicate your needs to each other better, and agree some mutual boundaries.

While returning to the office as an escape may alleviate some symptoms, I would still recommend that you work on your relationship.

Edit: your partner may also have needs too, this isn't just about you getting what you want. It's about communicating better and respecting each others needs.

Humans provide increasingly wrong answers as questions get more complex too.

Human this, Human that. LLMs aren't humans. "My model is crap but the human brain isn't very good at this either" is irrelevant when we have machines that are not only very good at these tasks but almost perfect at them.

Humans make such mistakes precisely because they are not perfect reasoning machines. To compare LLMs to humans is not only disingenuous, but proves my point.

(And no, I will not humour you with an argument about how the amount of wrong answers is drastically lower from human mathematicians)

Jumping from that to "incapable of abstract reasoning" is silly.

They are language models. It is explicitly what they are designed to do.

If these LLMs are not, as I claim, reasoning on language rather than the abstract model of the query, then how come they fail miserably in exactly the ways you would expect where that the case?

LLMs generalize to non linguistic patterns.

Yes, congratulations, if you turn a problem into a linguistic one LLMs can deal with them. This does not in any way go against what I said about the capabilities of LLMs.

The same levels of actual abstract reasoning can be achieved on a graphing calculator running off literal potatoes.

After 1st psychedelic experience “damn, everyone should try this”. After further experience, no longer a huge proponent. A new user has to make a mental commitment that they will be changed and they themselves take responsibility for that and own the positives and negatives and can’t externalize that blame, otherwise they’re going to have a bad reality going forwards.

My first experience was late 30s, I don’t know what it would have been like having that experience 17 or 18. I don’t know if I’d want my kids to have that experience at such a young age.

Psychedelics are profoundly strange. My before-the-experience expectations about what it would be like (having read an absolute shitload of literature and trip reports) and what it’s actually like were orthogonal.

A bad trip does equip you with a lot of confidence and resilience in yourself and your mental strength to almost get through anything. Once you’ve been through that (like seriously believing your reality is broken) a lot of other things in life seem easier.
Season 1 was closer to tradition SciFi TV of the time (think of the Star Trek Next Gen.) Each episode is fully self contained and there is little in last weeks episode that you need to know to understand this weeks. There is a tiny bit of story moving from episode to episode (basically the Sheridan/Minbari/Battle of the Line bits and pieces), but mostly it is 22 episide of setup.

Seasons 2-4 move away from that construction to a fully searial story. its 90's TV so there still need to be a definite episode arc in most of the stories, so you still have pointless digressions like Garibaldi getting stuck in Grey 17, but the Shadow/Vorlon war takes over the bulk of the story telling followed by the Earther war.

Season 5 seems more like they did well on the previous seasons so while it was intended to end with season 4, they kept going but without a larger story to propel it.
Future routing protocols (already under development) that include end-to-end route verification will be the end of it, I expect. "Democratizing" part of the Great Firewall and building it into the 'net itself. Only way around it will be proxying, and that'll risk getting the proxying-IP partially blocked, if it's caught or any of the traffic is deemed "bad", and requires that you can route to the proxy itself in the first place. Won't be entirely immune to circumvention, of course, but will make selective and region-blocks and throttling more common and more precise, and significantly raise the bar for getting around it (which'll probably be illegal nearly everywhere, too).
I did this as well. It took a little time, and a few rebukes, for my kids to understand it as a hard rule. But after that it's been smooth sailing.

It also helps that I majorly soundproofed my home office. Even well-intentioned kids will won't be silent for the entire work day.
For the benefit of someone digging through comments in a future generation. I chatted w/ Lars via email. My memory of "doing LOGO" on a 940 comes from typing on a terminal that was sitting next to a 940. It's entirely possible the terminal was connected to another machine, and it just happened to be next to the 940. Lars suggested LOGO was actually running on a PDP-11, which is certainly within the realm of possibility. Alas, I am depending on memories from over 50 years ago, so I can't be completely sure.
There is a fair amount of vitriol towards companies requiring some in office time, assuming anything from BS to evil intent.

While I personally like being able to work from home I have seen many cases when bringing the team into the office, at least once or twice a week, removes blockers and helps people sketch out and try prototypes in a way that remote work does not. It is painful, when you are working with hardware in some restricted access lab and something breaks, to hear that the person who can fix it is remote and will come in next Monday. Maybe.

So I am not surprised that some employers are pushing RTO from purely business reasons; no chicanery. And as this often carries various costs for employees, this will eventually, in a business cycle or two, get negotiated to a sane state, where both sides are slightly unhappy, but realize that they got a decent deal. My 2c.
Just because science hasn’t proven something or understood it doesn’t mean it’s not real or doesn’t exist.

If we lived solely by this definition there could be a lot of obvious things in the brain that could be canceled.

I understand your point but science is usually playing catch up with covid because it’s been so fast and far out of the gate.

Just because we don’t have the scientific understanding doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

In case you’re curious, lots comes out about long covid regularly.

Following my first infection with COVID, I developed mononucleosis as the infection reactivated the Epstein-Barr virus in my body, which gave me many of these symptoms. I have since found many scientific articles that discuss a link between the Epstein-Barr virus and long COVID. I'm always surprised that the Epstein-Barr virus is rarely talked about in popular news media when long covid is brought up.
This is true. Novak Djokovic just withdrew from competition in Toronto due to fatigue. Famously, he protested against vaccination. https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/novak-djokovic-withdraw...
Sure, but I think for the bulk of reported long covid symptoms, there is a dispute over whether the cause is more related to post-virus sequelae or perceived infection by covid.

Long covid is likely a combination of both types, but there is evidence that a significant proportion is of the latter form.

Autoenshittification. How the computer killed capitalism. – by Cory Doctorow
If I'm not mistaken Arc is also a closed source browser. The company has raised $18M since 2020. How are they expecting to make that RoI for their investors?

Monetisation for browsers is incredibly hard, and doing it in a way that respects the end user is even harder. Curious to see their play.
This article is about a specific job board.

Your comment was actually interesting, but the way you worded it was both confrontational and made it off topic.

Even the idea of it is bad, ChatGPT is supposed to write indistinguishably from a human.

The "detector" has extremely little information and the only somewhat reasonable criteria are things like style, where ChatGPT certainly has a particular, but by no means unique writing style. And as it gets better it will (by definition) be better at writing in more varied styles.
Im not sure why this is even getting downvoted. Top pay of market has significantly shifted to hybrid. Even once a week in office means you can't live anywhere in the country you'd like. Though i'm not sure if the original article counts hybrid as remote in this case

> MBTI is an attempt at classification of people's personalities at a high level from a series of questions.

Not one which works, however.

They both purport to tell you what sort of person you are, with an explanation for how they do this which might be vaguely convincing to some non-experts, but are, statistically, meaningless.

> At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, MBTI testing became highly popular among young South Koreans who were using it in an attempt to find compatible dating partners

Astrology is also not, as it turns out, the only woo used in dating.
> For COVID to cause severe illness in a few % -- enough to kill in rare cases -- but to not cause permanent lung or heart or kidney damage etc. in some significant percent who got very sick is implausible, even incoherent with all other theories about how viral diseases cause disease.

So then why do we never talk about long flu? Long meningitis? I don’t think people are in disbelief COVID can cause long term damage to specific people. Obviously that’s a possibility.

I think they don’t believe there is a specific disease called “long COVID”. Call it what it is - be that a damaged lung or heart or kidney. Hell even “post COVID symptomatic disease”. But “long COVID” strongly implies that you have a long, currently present case of COVID. That somehow just doesn’t show up on any tests. After 2 years.

It's because the people who took them back then are now old, CEO age and powerful and making decisions.

They are not popular in the normal use of the word. But "officially accepted" is more accurate. Psychotherapy is popular.

(We should expect things which are unpopular now but that the kids are into to be accepted in 40 years time.)

"There is no reliable evidence that TA generates alpha."

To be fair, there is no reliable evidence that anything really generates alpha (efficient markets, random walk, etc), but there are hedge funds who consistently outperform (Renaissance, Two Sigma, DE Shaw, etc).

So, maybe there are things that work in practice, but there is no way to produce reliable evidence that they work besides looking at track records...
Good point, and I'm not saying giving control to this random group makes sense, but at the same time, actual governments seem to be completely failing.

The plan that governments have for resolving the geopolitical and economic problems seems to be WWIII. And then things like WorldCoin, but very poorly implemented, and people already distrust the government so much that those ideas never even reach lawmakers since they know they won't be accepted.

The thing is though that humans may not be able to survive without a truly functional international government. And it also has to integrate with technology since that is ubiquitous now.

There just isn't a way to do it without some kind of identification.

Not trying means we will still descend into a cyberpunk dystopia.

And then after hundreds of millions die in WWIII, we would still end up getting our irises scanned. It would just be administered by the superintelligent Chinese police robots. And we would also all have to learn Chinese and would be subjected to the CCP's social credit system.
Hrm. I think you're right, but my mind has now gone to Ukraine.
in my experience, the process is the same at any salary or compensation package

it isnt “easier” to get an offer at lower ranges, those companies think they are taking a risk with their comp ranges too
This is my personal experience as well. I'm ~4 months in, and I'm still looking for an appealing job.

Anyone know of a forum where people like me can candidly compare notes about finding a job after layoff?

I'm learning so many lessons, but some could only be shared in an anonymous setting.
It's weird. I feel like you can get more done at an office at times... but then there's also a lot of downtime. Also the commute is always killer.

I honestly believe people work better when they get dressed and have some routine. No idea how people can work in their PJs, I'd feel so lazy, lol.

However. The commute is killer. Even if you get it down to just 15 min. (which is hard unless you live right next to work) that's 30 min. a day. Prob adds up to well over 100 hrs a year just commuting. I know some ppl do public transport with an audio book or something but for me, that's still 100 hours commuting.

If I could teleport to the office, I'd say in person 60/40 split. Since I have to commute, remote all the way except for important kick offs or brainstorming sessions.
I'm not ignoring anything, and this conversation has gotten strangely emotional for people responding to me. I joined this thread when it had a few comments and explained what an XY problem was.

I'm in a similar boat, working remotely since 2017. I don't even have kids, and just enjoy my local parks with my dogs, my wife, etc. My social interaction tends to not involve work, which I actually think is healthy, and gets me away from the echo chambers I've experienced in major tech hubs.

My biggest wish, or obstacle, is finding a team that truly values writing. So many times I've sat in meetings where the discussion largely focuses on
everyone just clarifying their own ideas. Or status meetings. It's led me to believe that a lot of "in office is better" folks just value the instant gratification of face-to-face conversations.

I suspect HN's a community of early adopters, but I'd be curious how that actually plays out over time.

The one thing that killed the enthusiasm of Reddit for me was when they started killing old.reddit.com and the loading of comments.
