It's weird to me that some people just don't see the oncoming train. AI is here to stay. Use cases are still being worked out, but it's here to stay.

Reminds me of the Astound application around 1995-1996. It was a pretty major PowerPoint competitor and I used it a lot. For whatever reason, they only had a Windows 3.1 version. So I called them asking when the Windows 95 version was coming out. They told me they didn't think Windows 95 will be anything more than a fad and therefore they are sticking with what they have.

I remember us laughing in the office about how an entire company could be so clueless.

The Scam in the Arena
I think the "good house" would need to be defined first.

Like, going by objective measures like "how well it is insulated and how much it costs to cool/heat it", or "how well it uses the space of the plot" most of them fall well within "good", partly because at least on insulation level most countries require them to be at least decent.

But how well that fits the new owners ? Now that's where there would be actual benefit from either customization or doing it from scratch.
My own observation while using the OpenAI API is that it is massively rate limited due to the enormous demand. So while the public hype may have lessened the actual demand for their core product is so large that its problematic for users.
> Anyway, the army and CIA make none of those. They just contract it out to Northrop or such, no? I haven't accused defense contractors of paranormal pseudoscience.

As of 2017, the military actively conducted research in the domain of Anomalous Mental Cognition [1]. The modern terminology is different and more technical, but the goal remains the same: to identify and understand precognitive and extrasensory abilities.

Also, SRI International was a defense contractor, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. A defense contractor may well be charged by the military to make a device for Anomalous Mental Cognition.

As a french, you may be misunderstanding the article.

Iceberg is not a salad, it's a lettuce first of all. And this is not about being torn up to use for the "cheapest blandest salads" you're referring to, it's a wedge "salad" which is an entire large piece of solid iceberg lettuce dressed in creamy blue cheese and bacon. You say it has "no recognizable texture" but it's all texture, the entire point of a wedge salad is the amazing, crunchy, ribbed, fresh texture. Contrasting with the rich fat of the cheese and the crispiness of the bacon. It's a pairing made in heaven, just like strawberries and cream, or melon and prosciutto.

I'm always dumbfounded when people assume their own country/cuisine/whatever is so superior to another, especially when they don't even seem to understand the item in question in the first place.
> Apple is not a monopoly.

In what sense is it not a monopoly?

Walmart doesn't have a monopoly on toasters because you can go across the street and buy a toaster at Target or order one from Amazon, and it plugs into the same power outlet and works with the same bread and may even be the exact same model of toaster. If you want to sell your toasters and Walmart won't give you a good price for them, you can sell them to the same set of customers through dozens of other channels.

If you want to install an app on your iPhone, you cannot get it from Google Play. If you are an app developer who wants to reach your entire customer base, you cannot choose between Google and Apple, you must use both. Because the customer with one type of device cannot use the other store.

> You are not a monopoly on your own platform

It certainly isn't inherently necessary for you to be. For example, Microsoft has no existing monopoly on app distribution to customers with Windows. But if there is no on else who can distribute apps to that distinct identifiable set of customers, you have a monopoly on app distribution to those customers, because "monopoly" means no one but you can do that. And no one but you can do that.
Which in itself would also imply that it has found only limited use so far.
Only viewing total cost misses the point. For some people, it may be more reasonable for them to want to pay a fraction of the cost monthly vs. one big sum every 12 months. $10/month is more expensive, in total, over a year. However, $100 is more expensive in the short-term.

Also, paying monthly is only more expensive if the person paying decides to stay that long. Monthly payments allow flexibility to cancel rather than committing to a year.
The most important advice is: let them talk first.
There are two cases:
1) You'll get more than you expected. Good for you.
2) You'll get an offer for less than your expectation. You'll see how much your work is worth for the company. Maybe it's time to submit your CV elsewhere.
It's a one time effort you can easily avoid with a much smaller one time effort (tapping/holding a very convenient numpad layer modifier). And it's especially a wasted effort for very short numbers like TOTPs

That's a very under specified criticism, what type of complexity do you think it has introduced and how do you quantify "minor gain"?

Some people clearly think it is an appropriate complexity to solve for the gain it gives, hence the detailed proposal and long discussions that have already taken place:

Something about searching and parsing through content myself just feels so satisfying. Being able to dive deep and find parts that are meaningful for the context I'm driving towards just makes the whole experience more enjoyable then having an AI tell me what meaning is based on training.

why should we believe anything on any media? organized media outlets are subject to the constraint that they can't say anything that's demonstrably false without getting flamed, but that constraint is so loose.

social media accounts can straight up lie, organized media can lie by omission - is it that big of a difference? lying by omission gives pretty tremendous wiggle room as well

> How do you avoid wasting your time doing interviews

Simple. Only interview with companies you'd like to work with so much that you'd be willing to negotiate from a starting offer 2/3rds of what you want. When your interest in the company is sufficient, you'll be motivated to tell them that their offer is "a good starting point for discussion" and then make a counter-offer or ask for additional vacation, bonuses, or whatever you value.

Conversely, if interviewing for unattractive positions that pay well is motivated by non-negotiable financial considerations (mortgage, kids in college), then by all means, be up front about it.

You’re correct. pg refers to startups as cramming a lifetime’s worth of work in ~8 years. Pretty hard to do that if a startup is your 3rd priority in life.

There are plenty of exceptions, of course. But as a general rule startup founders are young because young people have no responsibilities and the energy to keep going day after day, week after week, month after month, for years on end until they exit. An extra advantage young people have is they don’t know how hard it will be. Older, more experienced people don’t have this tailwind of ignorance.

Only apply to businesses that advertise pay range, or at least a minimum pay, in their job listings. It is the law in CO/NYC/WA/CA, so all the highest paying businesses have to comply anyway, and any business that wants to compete with them will have to advertise pay range also.

Thus if a business does not advertise pay ranges, you can assume it will not be on the high end, at least not competitive with pay in the above regions.

I feel very fortunate to have landed a non technical faang role early in the year. Simply applying never worked but when I was recruited I always made it to the final round if I wanted to. The whole process took a lot longer than before. I really recommend doing lots of mock interviews, drills, and other prep. Think 20 hours a week until you get the job.
1. You can share templates between front & back-end using any language. (im not talking about WASM)

2. CSS has NOTHING to do with js/ts.

3. Most single page js applications require SSR anyway, otherwise you have a blank screen or spinner until the browser has downloaded & intialized everything.

Personally, i dont care if it's SSR or SPA. But the js/ts community tends to use things like webpack in combination with ~20 packages which themselfs rely on ~20 packages, resulting in index.js files that are +2MB... That's bad programming.

All modern cars are deadly, just the deadliness is projected outwards.

Honestly, the economic "it's cheap to sell!" is a pretty superficial trope in most of these articles, and in this case it's probably dead wrong. Kale or chard are usually much easier to grow and last longer than iceberg.

Iceberg won out because our grandparents and great-grandparents considered it a superior ingredient. They grew up in a world where bitter chewy greens were common and iceberg stood out based on their tastes at the time.

No. However contract clauses only apply to people who are actually parties to the contract.

For example you and I could enter into a contract for me to use AI to generate something that is not copyrightable from data you provide and give you a copy of that thing. There would in general be no legal problem if the contract included restrictions on what you could do with that thing, including restrictions on distributing it.

Part of the quid pro quo of a contract can be one party giving up a right to do something that they would normally have a right to do.

Now suppose the contract did allow you to make and distribute copies as part of your product. Someone else starts making copies of those copies you distributed and distributing those copies.

There is no contract between me and that person, so I would not be able to stop them. I've got no contract with them, and the thing is not copyrighted, so there's nothing that prevents them from copying it.
This exactly. Had way too many companies waste my time before revealing a 20-30% increase from my current comp was too much.

I cannot imagine the effect a ruling like this would have on businesses if you actually got your way. It would very clearly lay out that investing in an ecosystem of hardware products and doing it well will only result in all that investment, time, energy, employee sweat and tears, ALL OF IT, to be rendered useless. Basically setting an entire business on fire.

Quite frankly I find it ridiculous people here are even suggesting this.
It's the design and marketing of the product. Game consoles are designed and marketed to play games. General-purpose computing platforms are designed and marketed to do almost anything (including but definitely not exclusively to play games). Apple says "There's an app for that", while console developers don't say that, nor should they, because it would be false marketing.

If game consoles were marketed and sold as general-purpose computing platforms, then consumers would be very disappointed with them, because they make crappy general-purpose computing platforms. If iPhone or Mac were marketed and sold as game consoles, consumers would be similarly disappointed with them.
Idle comment,

I perpetually react poorly to the wink icon, at least, as it appears on Apple devices.

I get the sense people intend it to mean "droll wink" which is inclusive and often characteristic of good humored positive "play."

For me the icon parses as a more confrontational eyebrow raise, sardonic shading into sarcastic, with a whiff of the scornful, contemptuous, or hostile.

It's not a big deal, but it's been years and I still have to hand-hold myself past the intuitive reaction by reminding myself that's almost never how it was meant.

I wish you could swap out the glyphs.
Do Catholics or Rastafarians call themselves Jewish?

If a group self-identifies as Christian, they're probably Christian. At the very least, they're much more Christian than all the people that don't identify as Christian.

If a religious group is based on following the teachings of Jesus Christ, and claims to be Christian, I don't see how you could ever claim they're not without going full No-True-Scottsman.

Not talking about your salary history is a decent tip.

But negotiation isn't rocket science: you need to be thoughtful and honest to yourself and come up with an aspirational number (what you want, best case) and a floor (which you will not go below). Any number in between should be acceptable to you, by definition.

I find the hardest thing for people is being honest about the floor and being willing to walk away.

According to the link in the article (https://deadline.com/2023/08/wga-strike-amptp-deal-revealed-...):

>This is the highest wage increase for the WGA in 35 years: a compounded 13% increase over the three-year contract, with an increase of 5% in year one; 4% in year two; and 3.5% in year three.

>On top of wage increases, a 15% increase in minimum weekly rates for Article 14 writers (other than Story Editors or Executive Story Editors) in the first year of the agreement with further general wage increases in the second and third years of the agreement. This would take a writer from:

> $9,888/week to $11,371/week for guarantees of up to 9 weeks;

> $8,240/week to $9,476/week for guarantees of 10-19 weeks; and

> $7,412/ week to $8,524/week for guarantees of 20-29 weeks (all are 15% increases)

>Total worldwide (domestic and foreign) residuals would increase from $72,067 to $87,546 per episode for 3 exhibition years.

>Writers will be guaranteed a minimum of 10 weeks of employment and, for Article 14 writers (other than Story Editors or Executive Story Editors), the week-to-week rate of pay will increase by 43.8% over the current rate, raising the rate from $9,888 per week to $14,214 per week.
Is there really a complex version of that algorithm?

# AI: The Overhyped Phenomenon Missing Immediate Results

In recent years, there's been no shortage of hyperbolic rhetoric when it comes to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Prophets of the digital age tout it as the solution to virtually all of humanity's problems, from healthcare to climate change. But as we pause to look around, it's pretty clear: there aren't any robot butlers serving us breakfast in bed or AI doctors diagnosing diseases with unerring accuracy. So what's the deal? Is AI just overhyped?

### The Promises and The Reality

Remember when we were told AI would change the world? That the miracles of machine learning and deep neural networks would solve complex problems humanity had been grappling with for centuries? Well, it's been years since that promise, and what do we have to show for it? A few smart thermostats and chatbots that can't even understand sarcasm. Wow, revolutionary.

### The Lack of Immediate Results

Proponents of AI would argue that the technology is still in its infancy, and we need to be patient. But how long are we supposed to wait? Time is ticking, and some of the problems we face are immediate. If AI is as groundbreaking as we've been led to believe, why hasn't it delivered immediate, transformative results?

### Where Are the Breakthroughs?

You might say, "What about self-driving cars or AI in medical diagnosis?" But let's be honest. Self-driving cars are still in the testing phase, not yet a ubiquitous sight on our roads. And as for AI in healthcare, it's still largely relegated to research papers and small-scale implementations. It hasn't ushered in the medical revolution we were promised.

### Conclusion

All this isn't to say AI won't have a substantial impact in the future. However, the absence of immediate, world-changing results should give us pause. Perhaps it's time to tone down the rhetoric and acknowledge that while AI has potential, it is not the panacea we were hoping for. At least, not yet.
Of course. That was just word play.
