If you are going to barbeque for a dozen or more people, the pre-made patties are much more convenient, particularly because they will take the same amount of time to cook.

So if that's a thing you only do every once in a while, you are a prime candidate for confusing advertising. You don't already know what the thing you want looks like, and you probably weren't expecting the ambiguity, because "meat" has meant one thing for thousands of years.

It is extremely disheartening to see one of our many bureaucrats come to an anoymous international forum for input on an American domestic policy issue. A domestic policy issue that should be exclusively taken care of by the elected legislature rather than an unelected bureaucracy.

I hope that all of the comments in this thread are fully discarded by all who hold actual power at the FCC; the opinions of the international community are not relevant.

> You're being disingenuous claiming that this is about preventing it from harming people with bad medical advice. And you know you're being disingenuous. And everyone knows it too.

I don't think I'm being disingenuous. I didn't claim that this was only about medical advice or anything of the sort. I was just giving some examples of things that I think would obviously require some sort of filtering, because the parent comment seemed to me to be suggesting that either (a) all filtering is due to "political correctness" or (b, a lesser claim) filtering language models in general is the wrong course of action. My point was to illustrate that (in my opinion) it is necessary to filter the responses given by language models, at least to some extent. I chose medical advice because that seems like something I would imagine practically all reasonable people would agree about.

> Even if you wouldn't admit it.

I'm not sure why you think I wouldn't admit that.

The filtering added to systems like ChatGPT seems to me to be about "How much face can we save with the least amount of effort?" I suppose they chose topics that were either obviously problematic and worth filtering or else potentially controversial and easy to filter.

The trade-off there is that there will be a lot of false positives: topics and prompts that are actually not objectionable but confuse the system due to insufficiently sophisticated filtration techniques. This is where your instructions/gardening responses get hindered.

> It is entirely about political correctness.

I disagree with the "entirely" bit. I think much of the filtering is probably due to a desire to avoid controversy, but some of it (maybe a lot? I guess we don't know) is also surely due to an actual need to prevent people from taking advice from a glorified text-prediction system. I don't think this position is particularly crazy, nor do I have been disingenuous in the slightest. I think your (mis)characterization of that is actually rather ironic.
No idea if this book does it, but this seems like a perfect fit for automatic differentiation. You can get a simple implementation of automatic differentiation for one dimension in a small amount of surprisingly clear code, without needing to pull in any dependencies or extraneous concepts.
> Honestly I'd be happy to sign up to your newsletter and be upsold into a private $20/mo high-end consulting community forum if I were to learn how to earn those kind of numbers

Based on communities I am aware of that basically do this…:

1. $20 a month might get you a community that is working to get to $100k. The biggest hurdle will be simply taking action, with the second hurdle of having that action be reasonable.

2. A $50-$100 a month community might get you into the solid $100k-$500k range. I think this is your target. Biggest hurdles will be structuring work and addressing low self-esteem issues (e.g., imposter syndrome). Lesser issues will be finding reliable sub-contractors and/or communities thereof.

3. $500-$700 a month gets you into a community of folks running businesses with $1 million ARR and higher (usually as CEO rather than sole proprietor). Biggest issues will be things like hiring (especially key CXX-type slots), info on lesser known/documented processes (typically easier once it has been done once), and info on broader issues (e.g., outsourcing to $COUNTRY, to-the-minute status of manufacturing in $COUNTRY, etc.).

The numbers can go higher.

All of the above will also have an element of sanity check (“is hiring really this tough right now?”) and commiseration (“omg, my sales guy has to have his emotional support emu next to him in every zoom call!”).

Most of my clients tend to be Medical Device startups, but I did have a really long relationship with a major food manufacturer. While it makes sense for them to hire full time software engineers for some of the work, they always have a hard time finding device driver experts. Also they tend to attract less experienced engineers, so having me on board helps to manage and mentor their team. And I'm generally the one laying out the architecture and breaking the project into smaller parts so their engineers can implement it.

If you want to break into consulting, you have to figure out which field you want to be in. I'd avoid anything that has a boot-camp available for it, that's a race to the bottom. Then you need to get at least 10 years experience working in the field, preferably at a variety of companies, and make friends and business contacts at each place.
Certainly not criminal, but I was on a county commission which put me in the position to watch people litigate pro se regarding land use suits in California. And I would occasionally be in court waiting for a final declaration (that for some reason had to be in the courtroom.) There were plenty of people who successfully defended themselves pro se, but I don't think I ever saw anything more exciting than someone bringing in documentation clarifying they weren't the owners of a property on which some crime occurred (apparently the county's GIS system is not the local sheriff / prosecutor's strong point.)

I'm not trying to imply you should represent yourself on a felony case, but at least in California in the past, people have successfully had cases dismissed when they appeared in court, representing themselves with documentation the prosecutor should have looked at before filing the case.

Don't set that expectation. Don't work with clients that expect you to track hours when you bill days. The threshold for productivity and exclusivity I've had has been "if I billed you for a day, I'm not going to bill work for anybody else in that day"; that's as far as I go. In 15 years of doing this kind of work ('05-'20) I never had a problem --- but we did bail on RFPs where clients made it clear they'd be looking over our shoulders to make sure we were busy. That happened only a couple times, and, in retrospect, based on conversations with the people who ultimately won those bids, we were always glad to have had the early warning on those clients.
It might help to explain how that works - how do public comments influence things?

The FCC conducts notice-and-comment rulemaking and is accountable to a public interest standard. Obviously the public interest can be hard to define, but at minimum, if reasonable comments on the record raise issues that we are clearly ignoring, this is likely to emerge in item debate, dissenting statements, and the press. In fact, the courts can go as far as overturning a rule if the FCC failed to adequately address arguments made on the record during the rulemaking process. A lot of our rulemaking is technical and not of general interest, but the public has the right to comment on all of it.

In this particular case, I think the much of the relevant experience and expertise resides with the public more than the federal government. A lot of tech workers are very upset with the current state of IoT security and with the US Government's actions or lack thereof, so if we get a lot of comments on the records about specifics, those will be hard to brush off.

Actually it's a 0% pay cut because you pay for apartment door delivery.

IMHO the biggest problem is that there is no end-of-life date made clear to the user. I think if the purchaser could clearly see the support lifetime on the box then they can make an informed decision. Maybe this model that costs 50% more but is supported for 10y rather than 2 is a better deal after all.

I don't think we need to kill the device. Ideally it would somehow be made clear to the user when it drops out of support. But I would rather have the consumer informed and capable of making a decision than taking away their control to keep using the device.

Even if the system behaved like PRISM such that chat apps and network operators used the client-side apps to scan for keywords on specific accounts and reported back, similar to how child porn filters might work today, which would be an end-run around e2e encryption but not require transmission of every message, the risk is that the system itself might end up in a compromised state where any nation could request records of any device and suggest that national security is the reason. And that assumes the system is designed securely using asymmetric encryption and unleaked keys, there’s still data storage on the other end to worry about. I get it though, it’s possible to dive down a rabbit hole where you continuously think up technological ways that this could happen securely and prevent attack vectors as they come up. The point I’m trying to make is that it is indeed a political problem to prevent technology from being abused. Making zero exceptions is still more technologically and politically secure than making even one exception for trusted government use unless you trust every government.
> How do you deal with clients that perceive and expect to have you available and working more than eight hours a day?

The contracts specifies which days I will be there/available, and the times (usually 9am to 4:30pm in their time zone). Sometimes if the work is interesting I'll give them extra hours on me.

> What do you do about when your not immediately answering during lunch etc.

I work through lunch. I always answer. I take care of my personal needs before and after the contract time. I build in 30 extra minutes to account for bathroom breaks and heating up food to eat.

> What do you do about days where you detect l weren't fully engaged by the client for a full eight hours?

That's a them problem. If they don't have enough work to fill my time, then that's on them. If they have enough work, then I do it. It's just my work ethic.

Review of Korean Generative AI: Wrtn
The simple answer is that the people who would make those decisions are the people who hold those jobs. It's a classic instance of "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

And it's systemic. The product of management is reports. The product of management is meetings. To them (and the people who ultimately run the company) these are the solutions. Have a meeting, write a report, do a review. Those are the tools they know. They have hammers. Everything is nails.
This issue has been pointed out so many times, it's clear it just doesn't matter, really, to anyone on the Cargo team. Meanwhile, years after this criticism was first offered, the problem remains, only more entrenched.
If you think stronger action is needed, please share it through an official comment. Even if we don't do what you suggest, thoughtful comments really do influence the rulemaking process.

As an aside, it's worth considering that there are also very sophisticated purchasers in this space, such as government and large businesses, and that a standardized, legally binding, label might help them insist on purchasing higher quality products.
Java/Kotlin. You define where to get the dependencies in a simple script, you define the version of the build tools, a wrapper script fetches the build tools (gradle) for you and that's it. Everything is neatly cached system-wide where possible and on a project-level otherwise. No conflicts, no shenanigans.
Even if you go to college, you can choose between majoring in something that will give you job opportunities later on, versus a useless boutique major. Or you can choose to go to a state school, versus a private college. (That being said, I think the financial aid/loan practices of universities are predatory; we certainly shouldn't be rewarding the predation with a government bailout, though. Make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy!)
There is no distinction between licenses tagged to "versions of projects" (whatever that means) vs the project itself. Hashicorp was well within their rights to change the license moving forward, and you or I or anyone else are within their rights to continue using an older version and fork it – which is exactly what happened here.

Which makes it crazy to me that anybody thinks about delivering work metered in hours, as if they were a furniture mover. A contract developer is selling a (quite valuable) enterprise product. You don't need an MBA to know not to do cost-based pricing.
You're right, and you should always refuse delivery and get reimbursed by the application.

Once the situation has happened enough the driver will be banned and finally you will be able to get the service you paid for.
Not the OP, but our company Measured is building Puck as an open source project, so I'll try and answer.

Puck is targetted at content/CMS use cases, rather than general UI building. So the ability to establish guardrails in the editor experience is intentional. For best effect, we envisage Puck being used alongside a well-considered library of on-brand composable components. The aim is to enable non-developer editors/authors to freely update and build content, whilst keeping the UI consistent and on-brand.

This is a problem area we've encountered many times in our client work, hence why we wanted to scratch this itch.

Having said that, I do believe the Puck editor GUI _can_ be configured to work with remote data somewhat as you describe, using the adaptor linked above (but there's currently no demo for this feature).

I don't see any reference to them being a journalist, anywhere? Why are you expecting some random person who saw and got frustrated with something and shared it, to be a journalist?

Are you a journalist because you're frustrated that this person isn't being a journalist...? That's kind of the same logic.
I've been a contractor for 14 years now and have faced little of what you describe, but I've also attempted to insulate myself from it as much as possible. You learn pretty quickly which clients not to take, and haggling over rate is the first red flag. My rate is my rate, it's not negotiable.

Other red flags are "we have a project starting in a week" type offers. Mom & Pop's are right out as they are the worst companies to deal with. Startups tend to be great since they have tons of money to throw around and don't care how it's spent as long as work gets done. And if it's not at least couple months worth of work it's not worth my time.

Once you have a network many of these issues go away. If someone is coming to you because they know you or you know someone on the team, they are much less likely to dick you around. It's also easier if you promote yourself as a consultant as much as a contractor because then all the "planning" hours are part of your offering (and I never use the term "freelancer" cuz I don't work for free).

The most powerful thing you can tell a client is "no". There will always be other clients, there's no reason to sell yourself short.
> A disclaimer for medical advice would work just as well without hamstringing the model into uselessness.

I disagree. A lot of people skip disclaimers all the time, and when it comes to things like this, I think engineers of these systems have a duty to consider the possible consequences.

> Doctors give objectively bad advice in an authoritative manner all the time.

That doesn't mean we ought to automate the process.

> ChatGPT is a great way to get a second opinion, and at least could be really nice for truly rare conditions that doctors have a hard time diagnosing.

I don't think it's a great way to get a second opinion, and I think it's especially a bad idea to try to use it for diagnosing rare conditions. By the statistical nature of the language model, the more rare the condition, the less likely the model will predict a string of words that accurately diagnoses it.

> Also, don't confuse "biases in the training data" with "facts I don't like." It seems people often do.

The problem is not the actual facts but the inferences drawn from those facts when they are used to statistically generate responses by a language model.
The intent of open carry is to make the people around you feel fear. It's clearly a "dickhead" move.
Corollary: Take a generalist observation about any type of creative work, stick "developer" somewhere in there, and act as if developers are unique and/or the observation is new.

Example: Not long ago I kept seeing some variation of articles about how meetings are bad for developers. Specifically developers.

Guess what? This is true for pretty much any creative type work like writing, design, or any type of work that involves deep thinking. But it was treated like a revelation because it was about developers and made no case for all the other workers in the same boat.

This piece? I could've written this 20 years ago as a freelance writer. Generally I refused to stick an hourly rate when dealing with clients for lots of reasons, not least of which that when I know a topic and it's in my wheelhouse I write very fast. (And if I struggle with a topic, it isn't on the client to pay for extra time...)

My dad could've written it 45 years ago as a sign painter and pinstriper. He charged by the job / value of the work delivered, not by how long it took to do. (Insert Picasso anecdote about "but that only took you 30 seconds," "yes, but it took me a lifetime to learn...")

At the time his craft was highly valued, hard to learn, and the difference between a good sign painter or pinstriper and a bad one was enormous. If there'd been a Hacker News for his field, maybe we'd have seen the same thing. Then came vinyl signs...
