Back in 2014, I was an intern at a major tech company doing software testing for $13.25/hr. I was about to finish my CS degree and my internship was ending, so I was applying for software engineering jobs.

During a phone screen at one company, they asked my salary expectations, and I said $60K. They asked what I was currently making, and I (naively) answered the $13.25/hr. They said they could do $16/hr, and that I should consider that generous, as I shouldn't expect to get more than 15% more when getting a new job. Also, they would expect 50-55 hrs/week of work.

I noped out. Yeah, I needed work, but I wasn't desperate.

After looking at Glassdoor, I got the impression that this company was preying on desperate new college grads, underpaying the shit out of them while expecting the world so they don't have time to apply for better jobs. One guy, in his review, said that when asked about work-life balance, the manager said "We believe in work-life integration." He noped out just as quick.
Exactly. It bugs me that we make the penalties for DUI so severe... when the reality of being charged depends so much on chance (getting caught, officer testing and arresting you, prosecutor deciding what to let you plea to).

If we really cared about it as much as the legal penalties make us feel like we do, there wouldn't be any wiggle room for wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

Three people shouldn't be able to do the same thing, and one gets the book thrown at them while the other two have zero consequences.

> After a couple of days I concluded that most (all?) of these dating apps are pay-to-play.

It's definitely most and certainly feels like nearly all, especially once you start to notice just how many of these are all run by the same scummy corporation, Match Group [1]. Most of them are just thin skins over the same underlying terrible monetization platform.

Most of the dating apps that aren't from Match Group generally either have their best features stolen by Match Group and monetized and then out-competed to death or live long enough to see themselves become the villain and reaching for the same monetization dark patterns or even just exiting directly into Match Group.

(Among others, OKCupid was explicitly founded to be the hero against Match Group and eventually succumbed and was bought by Match Group. Tinder was built by whole cloth by Match Group to steal good ideas for features from smaller apps including but not limited to Bumble and was built to be an intentional slow boil-the-frog as it slowly added in other Match Group monetization features and then slowly started passing on its own features to the overall group "platform" as the features themselves stopped being the novelty. Now nearly all of Match Group's apps act like Tinder and swipe left/right.)

Renting is much more common in Europe and renters have significantly more rights. This is because much more wealth in Europe is generational (although we are quickly moving in that direction in the U.S. as well).

Some European countries have things like the imputed rent tax (basically taxing homeowners as if they were renting their own home). This goes a long way towards balancing the scales between homeowners & renters.
> I think AI in general, across almost every industry, will shift value away from technical proficiency and toward creativity and taste.

The problem is that an artist still needs to eat in the 10-20 years it takes to develop "creativity and taste".

What AI will do/is doing is knock out the entry-level jobs. If you can't train humans on the entry-level, you will eventually have no experienced people.
Paul, please write the article. I *want* to read it.

Hard agree. It's why I also believe that more & more companies will be more strategic with their licensing choice from the beginning. The common wisdom is to give it all away and grow at all costs, then switch licenses when there's brand value and the business needs revenue. This is poor because the license changes aren't bad in themselves because they still enable the individual developer to take enormous benefits, but they come with significant disadvantages like community drama, bad pr etc.
No I'm sick of the "What we need is better regulation" solution that's excreted as the first idea from this community. Except when it applies to whatever niche field they happen to work in, then it's "GET OUTTA MY WAY GOVUHMENT, I'm HERE TO INNOVATE"
> will you keep maintaining it if there is no incentive for you in the process?

Speaking personally, Datasette is the first project I've worked on in my entire career where I'm confident that I would be delighted if I was still working on it in 10-15 years time.

The space it operates in - analyzing, exploring and publishing data about the world we live in - has completely limitless appeal to me. Every project I've ever cared about can be attached to it, especially given the plugin architecture which supports me trying out all kinds of weird and interesting applications for the core technology.

If I can't make it work financially it can go back to being a side-project for me. I'm confident the financial side of it can work though.

"So what might have caused this strange new syndrome in our trading platform?" "Perhaps one of the market participants was doing something different?" "Nope."

Then literally two hours of me stumbling through possible technical issues to do with the internals of a system I had never seen. Even though I had thought I was being considered for my maths rather than my computer skills.

"Well just so you know, it turned out that one of the guys trading on the platform was doing something different." Laughing politely, "but you told me...". "Oh well no that's not what I would consider a market participant."

I call my laughter polite but I suspect it had an edge to it. Anyway he immediately walked me out saying, "we'll send you feedback." The feedback was that I had asked for too much money. (I hadn't asked for anything.)

Open sourcing Pytorch was also a human resources decision. Big tech learned this lesson somewhere around 2014, that whatever problems they solve, other companies will have 5 years down the line and if they don’t open source their solutions someone else will release the industry defining standard and meta & co will have trouble hiring people for their handrolled solution 15 years down the line.

If you know your chord's format in just intonation, there's a (not-so-)secret converter. Type in "play_on_keyboard('4-5-6 15/2 12 10 20/3')" in the F12 console to produce fingering and play it on the keyboard. Maybe I should make this clearer by adding a text box.

EDIT: thanks to your feedback, I added a textbox below the keyboard. It will show how to play things if you can write the ratios of the notes. This may be a helpful map for turning 12 ET into just intonation:

The scam is that these bottom-of-the-barrel recruiters’ contracts pay out based on providing a certain number of “qualified resumes”, not for actually filling the position. They’re basically doing lead generation, not real recruiting.

After a while you can tell which positions these are by how they are worded and how the recruiters associated with them talk and behave during the call.

Strongest defense of consulting I've read

Neither. The security profile is the same, device is still used or managed by a human, and (most?) humans hate rubber hoses.

(Therefore all security should be based on the users preferences, as you can't protect a user 24/7)
Being more secure for Google and [ad-/tracking-supported] app-vendors is more-or-less independent of being more secure for computer owners.

If some change happens to benefit both groups, I assume it's a happy coincidence. I like to think that most Google employees try to implement win-win stuff like that, but it's pretty clear that they frequently worsen user security/privacy to improve their bottom line (nearly all their revenue comes from spying on people, and preventing them from effectively opting out).
We had a McKinsey consultant team at a large governmental agency I was contracted to as an SME. Scope creep was a daily threat with them; they were always trying to get into another subline in the business and set up a new basecamp there as work faded elsewhere. The worker bees were earnest but had little or no domain-specific experience, and worked off obviously pre-fabricated steps that were carefully calibrated to emit "just enough" progress -- but not too quickly. I remember advising higher-ups we needed to get off that train, but the problem was the agency was far too shorthanded and relied on them for even basic operational tasks instead of higher-level conceptual ones, thus making them essential, and their management almost certainly knew it. I moved onto another opportunity and I have no doubt they're still there in some capacity.

I don't think many here have had the opportunity to work with or be in charge of preservation and archival.

When I offered to 3D scan an artifact repository for a rare books library, they declined after some discussion because as appealing as having space for more books was, they already had the facilities to store the artifacts and make them available, but they did not have the knowledge or budget to create, maintain, and develop a virtual library of the artifacts or to hire people who could.

I've deployed collection management platforms for two museums, and the first time I met the person who would operate it, I don't know why I was surprised to learn that they'd gone to college to do exactly and only that. Expertise and authority have meaning outside of tech, and "being good with computers" or a generally smart person isn't a replacement for serving a role in a longstanding and historied field.
You at least have the technical possibility to do so - not the case with closed-source or even cloud-based systems. It may be a breach of the license, and it will be up to you to weigh the cost of potential litigation against the cost of stopping using the software immediately.

Also note that fixing bugs/making adjustments doesn't mean releasing them - the latter may be a problem with some companies, but it's unlikely anyone would care (nor know about) if you do the former internally.

The author has more experience in the field than me, so gotta defer to him for the most part, and while I generally agree with the post, I disagree strongly with one point. The author frames this new era of AI about using transformer models (and diffusion models) but transformer models have been around for a while and have been useful from before GPT3, the model the author claims as the starting point for this new AI. BERT is a transformer model that came out in 2018 and is a very useful transformer style model, which showed the promise of transformers before GPT3.

Edit: Going back through the post, the author’s slide has Transformers labeled as 2017, so he is aware of the history and he’s just emphasizing that GPT3 was the first transformer model that he thinks had something interesting and related to the current AI explosion. I think BERT style models would be worth a mention in the post as the first transformer models found to be widely useful.

Thanks for the reply.

I think most DC equipment should have built in coolant loops, standardized to the point where you can order all the equipment and just plug it in.

Spec that DC components can run at a much higher temperature.

The issue is that DC operators get to trade money for a natural resource (water, power) for lower up front build costs. Owner operators do a much better job, but Google still extracts billions of gallons of water from municipal supplies, often even ground water which I think should be a crime.

I'd also like to see the cost of cooling be passed on to the cloud customer. Mixing it into the hourly price causes a tragedy of the commons.
10x price increase would mean a lot of broken links and significant destruction of value on the web.

I think ICANN would not entertain a startup taking over registry operations for .com or .net. ICANN recently defended their no-bid contract renewal for .net with Verisign:

> If ICANN were to put every TLD out for bid every renewal cycle to give it to the lowest bidder there would be no incentive for registry operators to invest in long-term stability and growth of the TLD(s) they operate.

https://domainnamewire.com/2023/08/16/icann-says-putting-tld...

I find it odd that "growth" is a justification. I was unaware that ICANN has a mandate to promote growth of specific TLDs.

These justifications, especially of "stability", make more sense to me in the context of the root DNS server that Verisign operates. Verisign would not agree to run a critical part of DNS infrastructure without a big TLD contract. I'm certain that maintaining and running those DNS servers with 100% uptime is an engineering accomplishment and its stability requires safe hands.

We're going to be in a weird regime if people can be held liable for "harmful" (offensive to a certain political viewpoint) AI output but you can't copyright it. Ultimately, it's nonsensical to imagine foundation model creators being liable for output, it's a collection of stats about data scraped from the internet. Ironically I expect the same "stochastic parrot" people also support trying to criminalize a computer predicting a sequence of tokens they don't like.
> I delete things that no longer spark joy. Deleting things is an important part of curation, even if my general inclination is to keep things forever.

I used to think this way, but I had one too many things I acquired, then deleted because I wasn't really listening to it, then years later suddenly wanting to try it again because something just clicked and spending many, many hours having to re-acquire it.

Storage is cheap. I just keep everything and buy a bigger hard-drive.

If that were true, then people in big dense urban areas would be paying less share of their income than in other areas. But I don’t think that’s true at all, at least for those making at or below the median.

Dense cities are more desirable to live in, but that induces more demand, so even though the cities generate more wealth, the equilibrium between supply and demand still skews to people wanting to pay more of their income to bid on a limited supply of housing (even if that supply is larger, more demand is simply induced). We should allow more building (and denser building) in popular cities, but we shouldn’t do that blindly thinking that it would somehow make housing more affordable.

You can google housing supply shortage for basically any country with a good economy, not just the USA. The only way to get around it is somehow suppress demand (low paying jobs in Berlin 20 years ago, or a declining population in Japan).
That's kind of like saying "I have a fork of bash that you may be interested in". It fails the familiarity test, and that's really important.
