One interesting (to me) thought is that while HNers are generally worried about what we can lose here (in the curated world) many non techies are likely to see such a bifurcation in car transport.

At some point soon self driving cars are going to get good enough that they can be used on many roads and cities - but I seriously doubt they will be good enough to be used in a mixed environment (pedestrians, human drivers, snow ice etc). So there will be a push to have self driving cars (convenient taxi style) on isolated roads - sort of a weird inversion of pedestrianisation. Maybe Barcelona style super blocks with only 15mph self driving cars allowed? I don't know - but the impact will be people who used to drive their petrol manual cars around town find parts of town locked off. And it's not anti-car it's anti-freedom-car.

Just a passing thought
The question was, how accurate does replication need to be, in a replicating system with selection. My argument is that if you do not need perfect copies, and if you can make large numbers of copies, replication does not need to be very accurate to produce offspring that can continue exhibiting some property that can be selected for.

It seems like your perspective is more information theoretic, and does not include selection.

> Apparently they had so many problems with remote employees (and their managers!) barely getting any work done

This was most likely also happening in the office, it was just masked with the appearance of work in the form of in-person meetings and people zoning out at their desks. When you have a bunch of people in a room together progress grinds to a halt because it becomes completely about performance.
The primary metric I believe is important in evaluating the viability is TA is the number of people that "believe TA works." To the extent that other investors trade based on mystical figures on a chart, the price behavior may start to match investor movement and become somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy, at least until more meaningful fundamentals start to stabilize the behavior.
It's a lot more simple than that. You don't need to discover aliens to move the market in unexpected ways. A crop failure halfway across the world, a border skirmish between two countries, discovery of a new oil reserve, a ship blocking a canal, a tech company not selling as many phones as anticipated in a quarter...all have ripple effects through the economy and can screw all market projections. Stuff like this isn't a "black swan"...it happens every month.

If you want to use math and statistics to get an edge in the market then become a quant trader. People who aren't smart enough for that but want to feel smart get into "technical analysis".

Nice work. This is great!
The paradox of tolerance is the invention of Karl Popper, a member of the Mont Pelerin Society - a hard-right group literally founded by F.A. Hayek. It is a justification for the persecution of collectivists, which mostly meant the persecution of left-wingers at the time. It's the justification of the actions general Pinochet would later undertake.

The only way I can use such a thing to understand left wing thought is by assuming someone is picking and choosing ideas in the pursuit of power . Citing it makes me think of an unconventional medieval priest who tries to justify burning all his enemies at the stake by combining Calvin's inflexible concept of damnation with the Catholic penchant for punishing sinners and heretics.

And the simplest statement of the paradox is "It's OK to persecute and kill collectivists (meaning communists and fascist), because they deny the validity of a universal reason". I assure you it's not an argument that justifies "de-platforming".

I've been remote since 2005. Organizations that pioneered that kind of work didn't do it because they were forced to, so there is a whole different vibe in such companies. It's not seen as a "perk", and there's never anxiety about "RTO".

It's never been exactly easy to find the opportunities, but I always managed to. I'm glad now that the baseline of available remote work seems to be permanently higher.

> Obviously this can only count jobs that say they are remote, I've seen many complaints about remote jobs that turn out to require significant time in an office location.

This happened to me.

The company wanted to fly people to offices any time something important or urgent came up. It led to ridiculous situations where something urgent broke, and instead of sitting at our computers and working on it we'd be scrambling through airports and sitting on airplanes for a day, getting rental cars, checking in to hotels, and then driving to an office the next morning for a meeting.

Then we'd end up working the problem in transit anyway. Solving problems from a cramped airplane seat from spotty in-cabin WiFi instead of home with my big monitor, reliable internet, and camera for video conferencing.

The company also had a mix of empty-nesters and young single people in charge of company events. They wanted to put together quarterly on-site meetups where everyone was supposed to travel and stay in hotels and do team-building exercises. I pointed out that having to travel 4 weeks out of the year was equivalent to a job with an 8% travel requirement, which they scoffed at because it was for "fun" activities.

That job was "remote" but ended up having 20% travel time.
This was very different; prior to that I used to do 1-2h of strong cardio or lifting activity a day, was studying at multiple universities and worked multiple consulting gigs. This was like being hit by a train suddenly, going from hero to zero. I've noticed that positive thoughts helped but I attribute it to brain being low on processing power and negative thoughts taking more processing power/energy, causing even more problems. I had a stroke-like experience where I could no longer read text, locate symbols, follow visual clues which told me there was some problem with visual cortex VC2 or VC4 and I could perfectly see delineation between different "algorithms" running in my brain for visual processing and they seemed to be running low on fuel. Quite amazing experience for a Deep Learning researcher but would never wish it to anyone.
No, that's exactly what's happening. Ezrion is asking good questions. Dismissing those questions is not valid science. It's always valid in science to ask "but how do you know?" It is then necessary to accept a good explanation in good faith, though. However, OoL has gaping holes that are currently papered over with handwaving. It's not required to accept handwaving.
Exactly, the give and take of social media has mostly turned into taking more and giving less. Social media sites have less and less to offer users as content has become soulless cash grabs or attempts to go viral.

I'm at my best at writing (code, text, everything) when I'm working remotely. The option to sit down and focus in the apartment all to myself has done wonders to my code and ability to solve problems.

However I'm still a bit unsure how this affects my career. I feel like conventional corporate success depends more on your relationships and politics than the quality of your code and writing. It's really hard to build quality relationships and see the politics and status games people are playing in my company by being a remote worker. I met most of my current network by sitting in the same office with them.

I wonder if this is everyone else's experience too, or maybe I'm just missing something obvious, like scheduling more face-to-face meetings with people.

A few reasons.

1. Instead of needing 100 passwords, which increases the chance of users just choosing something and repeating it, you have 1 password.

2. Similarly, instead of needing 2FA on 100 sites they can just have 2FA on their SSO. In fact, the other sites don't even need to support 2FA - you get that "for free" with SSO.

3. SSO providers implement auth really well. They make it smooth, as in "I don't have to reauth when it's obviously me" and safe, as in "that might not be a valid auth, let's get them to 2fa again".

Of course, if you have a password manager then (1) is not a problem. But SSO is a lot simpler for users.

I don't mind working from home, but I find WFH-accommodating calls exhausting; it feels they take far longer than the equivalent in person discussion, in addition to losing the ad-hoc nature of office conversations. The context switch feels heavier on calls than it does in person. Also, the way daily calls tend to be scheduled (everyone at once, let's hash out everything for everyone so we can then get on with things) means I have to sit in on conversations that are irrelevant to me and for some reason having noise coming out of my headphones means I can't focus on anything else. On the opposite end, I'm now sat in the office while colleagues are having a meeting right next to me and I am able to focus on writing this reply (or maybe coding, if I wasn't procrastinating on HN).

Maybe it's my audio setup, but I've tried multiple types of headphones to no avail. I feel the quality of my work (and life) would improve if I could cope better with calls, but despite my efforts, I can't do it. I've removed myself from calls with an adjacent team that mostly don't concern me, and asked them to ping me only if they need me. That saved 30m to 2 hours of my life and saved me from becoming exhausted before the day has properly begun.

There's also a problem in that _some_ people prefer WFH because they can slack off more (or have multiple jobs); that means they're not always available and not fully committed, with whatever implications for the people who rely on them and the company/product.

Maybe it's down to the pace of the work. Startups, I feel, benefit from in office huddling. Corporations with ample time on their hands could be better suited to WFH.

That’s not what LongCovid implies, that’s possibly referring to persistent spike proteins but that a separate thing. LongCovid specifically refers to post covid sequelae, as in not a chronic infection but the after effects from an acute infection.

Viral impairments were called ME/CFS, the main difference now is that such a large number of people got it at one time which is making it more difficult to ignore.
The ideal government would be the ideal partner — unfortunately the governments of the world are far from ideal.

So I can understand why you'd want to circumvent them. But in the end, we do need government, and circumventing them just means eventually needing to re-create them.

Which leads to the question: Do we fix the governments we have, or create new ones?

It seems analagous to the rewrite-from-scratch fallacy. In the end, I can't see any way around fixing the world's governments. Educating the electorate, structural reform, all of it.

So yeah. Currency and UBI seem like functions of governments to me too.

> There is no such thing as clean VHS. VHS is roughly youtube's 240p quality.

And yet if you IVTC a film telecined for reproduction on VHS using 3:2 pulldown you end up with the full 480 lines at a rate of 24fps.

Furthermore, if you consider the ~3MHz in luminance bandwidth, you get ~240TVL which works out to ~320 "pixels" per line at the NTSC DAR of 4/3.

Chrominance bandwidth and analog noise notwithstanding, I'd say that ~320x480 is a fair bit better than "240p".

And, for the record, VHS sucks. It just doesn't suck as much as you're claiming.

Finally, Laserdisc FTW.

Not in this case. They even had a chart showing the sharp decline in several different metrics when they let people go remote.

If you subtracted out the outliers, most of the company was fine going remote. About 20% of people dropped their productivity to a fraction of before, though.

Some people can't handle remote work. I think it's time we stopped pretending like everyone handles remote work just fine. That lie is making it harder to get companies to admit that they need to differentiate between employees who can and cannot successfully work remote.

The IA can always defer to putting a census of noindexed items as a json item though if they want to stay true to their motto of "universal access to all knowledge". For every invalid reasons there are always a valid reason for retaining such features. Some people might not want to see their works easily scraped by AI companies and so on which then profit off their backs, among all other sensitive use cases. If they do away with the self noindex option, the search results will one day become very clogged if you want to look for a refined result.

Permanent.org which is more geared toward the personal private backup use cases were only formally released in 2020. Before it there was only IA which could really provide digital preservation for all swathes of people. Even then I occasionally saw that Permanent.org cross-pollinates their datasets into the IA.

Contrary to the claims that I'm not looping in with them about noindex, in fact they had already been keenly aware of my (and probably others) use cases for a while. Before then I'd sometimes even contacted their staff members for help if I for some reason cannot no-index the items alone. Their tone changed slightly to say that "IA is a library" around the time of the bookseller's lawsuit but coincidentally because all the items I wanted to be archived, had been so, I was able to promise them to not upload any private items, at least I could discuss with Mr. Kahle about the issue. I did sent an email to the latter afterwards, but perhaps because he's heavily distracted by things like the lawsuits, it was eventually let slide and forgotten, until now.

I actually conversed with the founder somewhere before this year where I floated the possibility of the IA becoming an all-out archive and digital vault, more than just a library, in which he seemed to be welcoming with.

Edit: At one point IA even endorsed/recommended the use of noindex as an option to hide bulk-uploaded files from search results to avoid clogging it.

Yeah, this is all anecdotal, but I'll add my 2c - been in the business for something like 15 years and was looking for work in May. It has never felt deader, remote or onsite. Usually recruiters are beating down your door. This time not even friends could get me any interviews.

The way I got a job was by writing some technical articles and establishing a relationship with a very energetic VC person. I asked him if he could introduce me to his portfolio companies and day later I had a few conversations lined up. I think I found what is probably the most interesting job I have ever had. I am usually nobody to hustle or advocate for it, but it sure paid back.
I think providing employees with office hubs to work at within 10-20 minutes of their house will be available as a perk or benefit - instead of paying for an office.
