This shit is wild. That stuff is insanely confusing even at the closer view. It's crazy that you have to make these split second decisions at 7 g with life on the line. When I was a child, I'd always wonder how pilots die in training. I think I didn't really appreciate that with these kinds of things everything has to be in the realm of unconscious competence. Almost everything has to be freed into autonomous functioning so you can make the few tactical decisions your brain can manage. And you need to train yourself at that limit to really be ready for it in the real moment.

Great story.
But why will it get better at accuracy if it isnt trained to be accurate?
"All dine-in checks include a 15% service charge, and all to-go, delivery and curbside pick-up orders include a 20% service charge. 100% of these charges are distributed to our employees in order to keep compensation as fair as possible to everyone"

I guess this is mentioned on the page to signal that menu price is the final, no need to tip? US' tipping culture is so strange. Normally you don't need to mention anything, people would pay the menu price and you'd include whatever you'd need for paying the staff. That's how it is in the rest of the world.
That is a gross oversimplification.
> We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention.

The ball feels a little gimmicky but otherwise in general I am in favor. The whole point of no laptops / standing / forced attention is to actually cut down on the meeting time by encouraging people to be present. When people can tune out and multitask, you get wasted meetings. If people are paying attention, they'll call out time wasting.

> I had to use t-shirt sizes to estimate software.

Why is this a problem?

> We spent more time estimating story points than writing software

This I just really don't believe. Perhaps it was meant in jest / hyperbole and does not actually represent a true accounting of time. If actually true, this is not a problem with scrum, but with your organization. Just because a process is misused doesn't mean the whole thing is useless.

> scrum is not for developers

Probably the biggest thing I definitely agree with. You know what else isn't "for developers?" The existence of the business itself.

The Inhabited Island is an amazing book with a great ending. SF, government conflict/war, weird and fun machinery, etc.

Others are suggesting Hard to Be a God by the same authors, which is an okay book, but it's not really SF as most people think of SF IMO.

No, NFTs were to capitalize on the new tax reporting and valuation requirements for physical art that closed the money laundering loophole.
For me as a backend eng the hardest part in fe (for me) is css! Back when I dabbled in iOS I found UI to be very easy (the layout part not the sexy looking part). On web I get very tempted with having to make something look like a modern app when a plain looking button would do and down i go into the rabbit hole of material UI and css and dependency management and versioning etc. Things like pagination etc I think are just standard problem solving abilities (for me).
Hot take! Can you explain more? It might foster some good discussion. Also, how do you feel about the comments from the other "sister" post? They seem to be very keen about list vs tuple.
Given how Amazon treats people and is well known for grinding people into the ground, is there really a big stigma from getting fired from Amazon?

Heck, the whole hire to fire thing gives a person excellent cover beyond that provided by return to the office.
If you have a ford, you can swap out the camera for the mobileeye camera and put in the power steering rack from the same year as the camera (2019+). Reflash the firmware to match your model options and tada, retrofit lane centering in your ford.

I used a 2019 ford edge lane centering camera + steering rack in my 2014 ford fusion. Bonus: it is supported by openpilot. If you DIY, I highly recommend a lift.
Disagree and commit (more specifically have a backbone; disagree and commit) is one of the fourteen Amazon leadership principles which is why he’s probably using that specific language

What they aren't telling you is even worse:

If you're remote and choose to accept their relocation ultimatum, you have a very limited time to execute on it. I've heard 90 to 180 days.

Relocation assistance is provided, but you're moving to an expensive city.

Compare a mortgage for a 2 bedroom house purchased in 2017 in the sticks versus rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in Seattle. It's not an attractive change in living expenses.

If you leave Amazon within two years of relocation, you must repay the pre-tax amount of the relocation assistance.

These handcuffs ain't golden.

Voluntary resignation? What a sick joke.

In such cases, I believe there are (and should be) guardrails. It already has some guardrails internally set:

ChatGPT already knows how to say: "I am not a lawyer, but I can provide you with some general information on this topic." The same thing for medicine: "I'm not a medical professional, but I can provide some general information..."

But, for instance, ask it to design a canard for a 4th generation supersonic fighter, and suddenly it spits out pages of output. [Though it finally corrects itself and balks to answer when you ask for angle of forward sweep and a formula for the curvature of the surface.]

There needs to be a way to "sniff out" if there's topics that people are getting too close to danger zones for it to answer. Ways for organizations themselves to set those 'bounding boxes.'
Some people argue with baseball, pokemon or whatever cards. I mean they have at least more or less a real usecase. But how about rare sneakers? The are really just for collecting and trading.

Not trying to kill the vibe of your comment, I just want to point out that the burden of proof historically has fallen on the accuser, the regulator, the plaintiff, (point is: not the defendant,) to prove that some behavior is illegal and problematic. So I’m not sure I agree that it’s good to foster a regulatory regime where everyone trying to innovate is questioning whether the political winds will change in the future and some new hotshot regulator is going to make their career by being tough on whatever they’re currently doing when last year nobody cared. Post facto regulation doesn't really do any good as you’ve realized in your comment—the damage is already done.

So at least I think we need to protect innovators by holding regulators to a statute of limitation on enforcing policy (like no bringing cases against activity that predates some signaling by the regulator that the interpretation is changing), and ideally require regulators to publish guidelines before they’re allowed to take legal action. Or maybe regulators should have to inform an innovator that they’re no longer in compliance with an updated perspective and provide them actionable steps that if taken would make them compliant, etc. prior to taking legal action.

I’m not saying there’s no room for interpretation practically, but this deal where the SEC sits silent on whether “crypto assets” are securities or not and the only way we’ll know is if they sue one of the innovators doesn’t seem particularly healthy either. It’s exactly why you can’t be held criminally accountable for something you did before it became a crime, and we should hold regulators to the same expectations.
This sounds a bit like word salad, and your argument is worse than an LLM output. You even contradict yourself at the end.

Also I think you need to better understand how much hallucination has been driven down recently and its clear path going forward.

Or maybe it’s not obstructionist people and you just have a difference in opinion. Or you might be wrong. Or you’re the obstructionist person.

That’s the whole point of disagree and commit. Most decisions are not clear cut obvious decisions, otherwise it’s unlikely there would be disagreements about them.

Disagree and commit allows everyone to contribute to their max capacity and move forward once deadlock has been reached.
A cat would never. I'm just saying.
Why are people people?

For nearly any policy change, you can probably find 20% or more of people who would not have made that same exact choice. Many of them, if left to their own devices, will persist in disagreeing, slow-rolling, being mildly obstructionist, or similar.

If you don't have a clear (and enforced) principle that requires the implementation of made decisions and bars re-opening discussion absent material new information, you'll end up with an organization that lazily drifts towards the new decision instead of aggressively pivots towards it. That's clearly accepted in some companies; it doesn't seem to be accepted at Amazon.
Of course it is. Because front end libs are made by people that sometimes lack an in depth understanding of architecture and good design. It’s a self inflicted wound.

I think a good chunk of this is caused by an inability to see past the flaws of others, and assuming the worst of people. And also assuming that someone completely lacks personal integrity because of a opinion that they hold that you disagree with.
Not being from the US, this is probably a stupid question. But why can't people in the US sell willingly and freely sell things (legitimate or otherwise) to other willing buyers without government interference/participation?

I guess I used to think the US was the "land of the free" I guess I understood that people used this phrase in a literal way. Im wondering, when American's use the phrase "land of the free" perhaps I am misunderstanding, and it's really generally used in an ironic way?

Can someone please explain?
That’s a ridiculous comparison. “just following orders” is very much shorthand for following morally heinous decisions because you were asked to. In that case you disagree and quit. If you’re braver than most people you blow a whistle, etc.

Just following orders is not about working arrangements in a corporation. And if you do find working arrangements morally heinous then you disagree and quit.
Business as Usual (BAU)
I enjoyed the amount of pizza when I lived there, but it was getting annoying how many boba shops there were. Got to the point where a business I enjoyed shut down, and I could guess pretty accurately that a new boba shop would replace it. And somehow the average price for boba went up each time a new shop opened.
> a year of weekly backups makes your 1 TB into 50, even if it's offline storage.

20TB (~18GB usable) drive is $370 + whatever power it will use

6 of them in RAID6 will give you 72TB backup storage, add extra copy and say extra drive as spare and that's 13*370 = $4810 USD for ~5 years + whatever power it will use, ~50-55W if idling most of the time and just writing backup once a day

I think people got completely disconnected from how it actually costs to run something because of vastly higher resell value of storage and bandwidth in the cloud.

> My own company struggles with that - throwing more storage on the live db is easy, so we've kept doing that for years, but pushing around multi-terabyte backups is getting cumbersome and we're going to have to slim down the data in prod even at the cost of engineer effort.

...but that's definitely a bigger part of that issue, cloud or not. Backup is slow, restore is slow, anything that involves any of the two is also slow

> What? Why? Are they like nuclear bombs? What happens if an iPhone screen gets into a wrong hand?

Does it matter?

I’m stating as a fact of matter what their interest is in a comment in which I try to describe the interests of both sides of the equation (with reasonable efforts made to be accurate).

You make the mistake of reading that and attributing it as a personal opinion of mine and then proceed to get all worked up and making false equivalencies in a strained effort to make your point.

The fact of the matter is, for better or for worse, that they are free to decide who they want to do business with (pending some legislative changes here and there).

What their reason is for doing business with one, but not with another, is neither here nor there but if i had to venture a guess I’d say it probably has to do with the prolific market of fake Apple devices.

> It’s shocking to me, that in your mind my right to keep my phone repaired is somehow comparable to Apple's right to prevent me from buying (not stealing) a replacement part.

It’s shocking to me that you present the argument in such a way that the only logical conclusion is for you and me to encroach on Apple’s property rights by being able to dictate if and how they sell their property to us.

And what is the basis of this? Apparently according to you, your property rights are so broad, that it includes access to someone else’s property lest you be deemed a medieval serf of all things.

Drama much?

It needn’t be this complicated nor dramatic. When you purchase an iPhone the iPhone (i.e. the physical device and the physical components it contains) become your property.

You can do with that property as you wish, but those property rights decidedly don’t lend you any rights over other components Apple might produce.

To suggest that your purchase somehow grants you any entitlement to components that weren’t part of the initial sale is outright bizarre, regardless of whether you assert that the entitlement exists outright or as an option for purchase.

I think you're using Elasticsearch/Kibana for logging. Sentry is mainly for exceptions and errors.

You can self-host it: https://github.com/getsentry. The integration is probably fewer than 10 lines of code; it sits on top and you don't have to change how your code works or send things its way, Sentry does the capturing itself, so you wouldn't be using it instead of your E[?L]K stack, but in addition to it for exception monitoring.

Not wanting to at least try it, or something similar to catch exceptions, especially when the current system isn't delivering, is what should look bad.
I’m curious about how the partnership works and would have liked more details on how it works. In particular after 6 months, do people still have to put in $1000? If the staffing level increases does everyone’s stake get diluted? When you stop working there what happens to your invested capital? Do you maintain profit sharing? Do you get bought out? Does it work like law firms and other professional partnerships?
The vulnerability is the automatic insecure rendering of image markdown. One way to trigger it is with an indirect prompt injection payload. The scenario is that the user analyzes some text/data, which contains malicious instructions. The owner of the text doesn't have access to the chat history (it's just some random text somewhere), it could be a comment on a webpage, text inside a pdf file, copy/pasting, or even instructions hidden inside an image the user analyzes and sends to the LLM. You can find many examples of indirect prompt injections on my blog (e.g. analyzing YouTube transcripts,...). Just yesterday I put up a video explaining the various TTPs (and also fixes companies put in place): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_1plTXF-FE Hope that helps.

They are afraid of overemployment. It's very easy to slip through the cracks once you're a few years deep in some companies and stop working for months/yeahs before you get terminated. Someone I know is doing exactly that, got a new job anticipating being laid off/RTO from their big company job and still hasn't been terminated, despite not working beyond being present for random emails/meetings in over 6 months.
It's the tax breaks.

>Of the billions in tax incentives granted to US companies every year by cities and states, many agreements require workers to come into the office some of the time, or at least live in the region. For companies receiving these incentives, relaxing in-office attendance could be costly.

>The contracts were crafted in a pre-pandemic era, at a time when commutes to the office were a given. Now governments are deciding whether to crack down or rewrite the rules entirely. In some states and cities, policy changes have already been proposed to account for the new reality of hybrid work.

I remember learning the hard way during the dotcom bubble that the optimal cube size is just big enough for another person to bring a chair in and discuss a problem with you and not smack into each other.

If there's barely space for two workstations, someone will put a second person in there.

You want a cube that could theoretically hold about 1.3 to 1.4 people. Any bigger than that and it might be worth it to the company to redo the cubes for higher density, at which point you will have space for 0.9 people.

I guess you could look at the profit/revenue of these companies over the last few years during the WFH experiment, apply some slight multiplier for "this is our first go at WFH at scale and we haven't really committed to it, either", and draw a conclusion based on that. AFAIK, many companies did pretty well during the WFH experiment, and maybe in some cases, they overhired and now this is a convenient lever to pull on to bring the headcount back in check. Speculating wildly though.

I don't do disagree and commit. If I disagree and get asked to commit to something I don't agree with, I start my search for a new role immediately.

One of the bounding boxes should be requests to introspect. The models absolutely are incapable of introspection. They just simulate a human introspecting, but they think totally differently from a human, so the output is less than useless. If you ask “why did you say X” it should just refuse to answer, the same as if you asked it to swear or say something racist.
Come to think of it... The main people that are working on it are advertisers. That is probably the future. =P
