A couple of reasons. Essentially you are asking “what is wrong with a perfect system” but the problem is no system is perfect, and we spend most of our time dealing with the imperfections.

In my previous jobs the consequences of me making a mistake were that a page didn’t load or some content was unavailable or in the worst case deleted. But a mistake in a loan decisioning system is likely to be 1) much harder to detect and therefore 2) much more likely to persist but most importantly 3) vastly more consequential.

Second, there is no way to determine from first principles whether someone will repay a loan. So you will need to use historical data. Loan data is very messy and biased due to cascading historical legal and quasi-legal policies. You may believe you can erase one feature from the training data (e.g. race) but if your model can infer race from other factors (which is likely because other features are not randomly distributed across populations) then you have the same problem you started with.

To take a concrete example, there was a man who was wrongfully accused of fraud. Then after he won his lawsuit, he was wrongfully accused trying to cash his damages check.

Some amount of racism, classism, and negligence went into that decision. That’s the bad part. But the good part is we could see what was happening. If instead the process was automated, it would be a lot harder to prove the same problem.

> How do you suppose that technology came about?

By people, inventors, creatives, entrepreneurs, explorers. Certainly not government or bureaucracy. Many of the most incredible inventions, discoveries, and creative works came about under governments that were not free or democratic.

I'm sure some amount of government is needed for a society to keep running. I have seen no evidence that it is what gives rise to technology and production rather than the other way around, or that bigger, costlier, more complicated, and more imposing is always better.

> It's not just money. This could also mean forcing them to change course. We had something called "Urgenda" that took our gov to court (and won). In this case our government was blamed for doing too little about climate change and they had to adapt. There were also cases that for example challenged governmental oversight.

These are trifles. Corporations are all "on board" with climate change now. Petroleum profiteers have ESG scores. As far as the government is concerned, "doing more about climate change" means nothing for the people involved beyond making the commoners pay more for their food and energy.

Did you hear about Parler? AWS cancelled their service for violating their terms of service. This was allegedly because Jan 6th was planned on the platform, but it turns out Jan 6th was mostly planned on Facebook.

Also apple pulled their app from the marketplace when they were trending.

'build your own platform' is a lie. You cant do that without relying on other services today.

Yes, I agree. Human factor plays huge role here and we started from MVP without providing terms & agreements for the projects what published, just to connect the people (just because it doesn't require additional costs from us as we don't have investors).
I would posit the vast majority of non-specialty restaurants will have vegan dishes that are objectively inferior to the non-restricted menu items, which is why people tend do avoid them.
Thanks, it's already useful in seeing how a more normalized mind map would be really cool given my normal mind mapping activities.

That made me want to find a data-focused mapping API, start building & connecting nodes, and...wait a minute, what about just a database ;-) But sticking with mind-maps and a locally-scoped enhancement to the practice, instead of "let's completely jump concepts, mind maps are just a cheap DB" is really fascinating in its own way.

The new "Custom Instructions" for ChatGPT are pretty neat here, kinda similar to your pile of numbers, because I asked it what e.g. "fostering connections" meant in context, and it gave me a deep example based on one of my career fields. That led me to a really interesting back & forth regarding how to exploit the concept of betweenness centrality.

Nope.

Let's juxtapose them and see:

Von Moltke:

"No battle plan survives contact with the enemy."

Tyson:

"Everybody has a plan until you get hit in the face."

Pretty much the same meaning, and Von Moltke's quote is three words shorter, so no, Tyson's quote is not simpler.

Also, Tyson was ungrammatical, IMO:

"Everybody" vs. "you" in the same sentence, referring to the same entity.

There's absolutely nothing stopping you from just using WireGuard if you want to. I don't understand the mentality of complaining about a completely separate entity offering extra features just because you don't personally have a need/want for them.
This guy just keeps on giving. Incredible.
> The paid features have nothing to do with the providers;

They absolutely do. If I use AWS and Pulumi could not deploy to AWS, well I'm certainly not going to buy Pulumi Cloud, am I? If I use multiple cloud providers and Pulumi doesn't support all of them, I'm unlikely to invest further in Pulumi Cloud, right?

The providers determine whether I can even use the tool to do what I want in the first place. The providers are 99% of the value!

The fact that Pulumi leverages the Terraform AWS provider under the hood adds huge value for them, and I absolutely believe they indirectly profit off of that.
You are bunching dark matter 'deniers' in with anti vaxxers? Really?

Also there really isn't much of an anti vaxxers movement if you separate people opposed to vaccine mandates vs people who think vaccines are unsafe. Separating those camps isn't often preferred for politically convenient reasons, but they believe very different things.

Personal choice and body autonomy should be something we all support. The covid vaccine works, those who get it are protected. Unprotected individuals aren't undoing the protection vaccines provide to the people who get vaccinated.
My understanding is that this incident is one of the reasons why pilots are now trained ad-nauseum for such events, but that training for things like high-altitude stalls was not the norm previously
You didn't make an argument, you just said you know enough. The onus has to be on the people making the claim, you can't just imagine it might be dangerous and expect a rebuttal without putting forward an argument. I also "know enough" and have never seen even a vaguely coherent argument for how any conceivable evolution of current technology could pose a "serious threat" on it's own. I've seen terminator, I don't count made up situation where computers can control things and AI has goals of its own unless there's a coherent argument of how we'd get there.
Almost all of the people who were involved in Jan 6 have gone to jail. It was a serious crime.

And you can't expect companies to be wilfully complicit in criminal acts by allowing services like Parlor which you admit partly facilitated the Jan 6 event.

That said you can run internet services without AWS or Apple. Build a web app and host it on your own infrastructure.
Putin is a mafioso who happens to own a government, an army, and a secret police force. He's like Sinaloa but wildly more ambitious, with fingers in all kinds of enterprises, criminal and otherwise.

There is no chance he could have become president without the support of the Russian mafia, which is the biggest in the world.

It would be hugely surprising if he didn't owe some very unpleasant people - like Semion Mogilevich - for it.

The possible Sam Bankman-Fried who thinks this is a win-win is not the one in our universe. [0]

Our universe's Sam Bankman-Fried has been caught witness-tampering, which you only do if you think you are going to get away with it.

Being caught witness-tampering is going to lead to an early start to his jail time, yes. But you understand that it's going to lead to additional jail time, right? It's a crime and a really serious one. It will be seen as aggravating behaviour, so extra time, perhaps extra charges, not a head-start.

Edit to add: it's entirely possible in a legal sense for the primary charges against him to collapse entirely and for him to still see extra time, not just time served, for witness tampering. Because witness tampering is a crime even if what the witnesses saw turns out to be something the state declines to prosecute.

[0] unless he is both sorely misinformed and poorly advised
Maybe he should try the the Naughton defence: Arrested for various "related to chatting up a child online and crossing state lines to meet up", his defence was that he was involved in role playing the life of a successful high flying executive, in other words, himself. It was at least persuasive enough to get him a hung jury, which is often as good as getting off entirely.

It doesn't! It's simply filling out the public version of the form, which shouldn't require authentication.
I downvoted you and I want to explain why.

The public square, and the communication around it are controlled by BigTech, BigMedia, and are heavily beholden to Govt & BigPharma which means pushing provax, esg, and various other uniparty narratives. That means publications, and new sources, as well as social media, forums, instant messaging, IMs, email and many others are all censored. It is hard to reach eyeballs if all communications are controlled&censored too.
> My guess is that most employers really have no way to measure if an employee is being productive or not so managers are just reporting what makes them look good

My money would be on that being half right. They have no way to really measure productivity, but they were very afraid that productivity would drop to zero—and that is something they would be able to see.

Before COVID I don’t know how many times discussions around WFH basically stopped at “we can’t know that people aren’t just watching TV all day”. I think in a lot of places that was a genuine fear—nobody will be working.

So seeing productivity not go near enough to zero to be noticeable was… really good productivity compared to some people’s initial expectations.

GraphQL exposes your backend model the same way your json response to a REST api exposes the backend model - they dont. It's up to your REST api to assemble data from the database (or elsewhere) and return them in a structured format.

GraphQL resolvers do the same. You can hit another API, query a database, or return file data. It's up to you what you want each field to resolve to.
I have a new conspiracy theory on RTO in Big Tech. Much has been said about commercial real estate. But I think getting highly capable people to work hard for you is a difficult problem & something tech executives put a lot of thought into. If you don't pay people enough, someone else will. But if you pay them too much, they'll become financially independent.

Mid six figures is an objectively life-changing amount of money that an engineer would be insane to walk away from & that few companies can match. But because it's contingent on living in places where the "working rich" are on the lower half of the housing market totem pole, housing will always place significant pressure even on an obscene income, and your home will never be quite satisfactory. It keeps you on the treadmill working harder and longer, worrying about the stock price, chasing the next promotion or refresher so that you can afford a little more light, a little more space, a little less commute time. And that's right where they want you. Location independence means people could actually get their fill of "TC" which would make it difficult to keep them sweating over such uninspiring projects.
Hard to say, right? I'm always hungry. Constantly ready to eat and I have to force myself to go hungry just so I don't gain even more weight. If I eat 500 calories or 3000 calories it doesn't matter, my body screams at me that I need more food.

>This was allegedly because Jan 6th was planned on the platform, but it turns out Jan 6th was mostly planned on Facebook.

"mostly planned on Facebook" doesn't mean "not at all planned anywhere else." There was a whole data dump of content from Parler showing that yes a lot of planning was done there. Here[0] is a Slate article about it.

>'build your own platform' is a lie. You cant do that without relying on other services today.

Weird, because Parler was recently acquired and will presumably be relaunched, Gab still exists, and Rumble and Truth Social and plenty of other "alternative" platforms are still active as far as I know. How is it that an entire ecosystem of platforms to serve the conservative and right-wing market has popped up if it's impossible to build alternatives to mainstream services?

I mean, for all of the censorship supposedly going on, the "dissenters" don't seem to be hindered in getting their message out at all.

Because it's impossible to build new housing stock! Impossible!

I'm coming to the belief that the denial of housing construction is willful generational warfare. With so much "wealth" in housing values, the boomer voters resist any reform, and will sacrifice the next generations happily (just like they ALWAYS have).

And well, it's probably just good old rent seeking of the most literal kind by the "ownership society".

What the literal fuck has HUD been doing? This isn't even a project that the government should (theoretically) lose money on. You basically directly fund a shitton of housing construction directly. THEY SHOULD MAKE MONEY IN THE PROCESS!

Could HUD literally build anything it wanted regardless of local building codes and zoning, because the Feds (interstate commerce) can trump local laws?
Yes. That's what dissidence means.

The problems arise when liars and the deluded adopt the label, but censoring can never be the answer - who decides "The Truth"?

I think you're right about this, but there are companies that are putting distributed teams back into open offices just so that... they can sit in zoom meetings with their team. But now, they're less likely to have ad-hoc collaborations over Zoom because it's a pain in the neck to find a conference room and feels borderline disrespectful to one's neighbors to carry on a long call when they're trying to focus.

It's all situational. I agree with you that in-person collaboration is beneficial, but bringing people to the office doesn't necessarily do that without restructuring teams that were built on a distributed basis, which can be super disruptive and lose a lot of organizational context.
