You're actually proving the exact opposite of your initial claim, but at least you are now teasing out the confounding variables that actually explain this.

There is no significant causation related to a founder's marital status.

> Don’t be fooled, older founders have considerably more assets and a wealth of connections in their industry, as well as older more independent children. This offsets the wife and family effects.

> No, because there are a lot less older founders than younger ones. So when you extrapolate from the data it will seem that having a wife and kids is a negative for a founder’s chances of success.

These are the the confounding variables you were looking for. Older founders _are_ more successful and it has to do with, among other things, the experience and connections they have, and that people are more risk-averse as they start families.

_Coincidentally_, the likelihood of being married increases as one's age increases, which is why you see fewer but more successful founders at the ages they are more likely to be married.

No. You made it sound like you have a problem with her book showcasing her opinion. As if that is somehow dirty.

Sure. You still failed to elaborate on the lie inherent in the The Handmaid's Tale. Must not be that great of an example if when I asked about it you rather started talking about two other unrelated stories.

I don't know what we are "finding an excuse for".

Not just security updates and not just flagship products. Plenty of lower end devices on that list like the A series.

WhatsApp will also run on Android 5 from 2014. The latest version of WhatsApp. It's not the only Android app to do that. Many big popular Android apps only require versions 5 or 6. With iOS you have to be much closer to the latest version of iOS to run anything. A Samsung Galaxy S4 from 2013 can run the latest version of WhatsApp. An iPhone 5S cannot despite all those years of updates.

Security updates are just useful for security updates. A device has to be really old before it's typically dropped.
I’m not sure I see that many industries which ChatGPT will actually change. Anything that requires an actual person ChatGPT immediately fails at and it’s not even close. Especially anything that has human interaction and can be a pleasant humanizing experience.

Off the top of my head for typical human business interactions I do as a consumer:

Will ChatGPT work on my car? Will it give me a haircut? Will it walk my dog? Will it deliver me food? Will it be a therapist? Will it sell me a car? Will it sell me a house? Will it provide care to my children or family? Will it represent me legally? Will it check me out at the store?

There are also examples of customer support that can’t be replaced. At least not in the foreseeable future. No “AI” we have now or could have in the next decade would ever have the authority/capability to allow a customer to argue with it that he/she deserves a discounted rate on their internet bill and then lower said rate.

Your warnings seem more fit to a world where we have developed actual AI as well as a physical interface for that AI to inhabit.

Don't give access to a DB, the same way you wouldn't give access to any other external system. Instead you ask what is needed and provide a restricted REST API.

You come off as condescending and remind me of why I (ex dev who joined our business department) dislike our IT so much and do my best to encourage shadow IT where I can, while keeping sane best practices around CI/CD, security and testing.

I'm so fed up seeing working Excel solutions cobbled together over 2 weeks, that served business well over years with 0 incidents, get replaced by shitty cloud apps that cost millions to build.
ah, I see. OK.
That is happening to some degree, but is not nearly as simple as you make it sound. Much of the tech economy is dominated by one or a few large companies that have huge advantages over a newer entrant and that act in all kinds of anti-competitive ways, to great effect.
I’m using chunk of my A-game days to improve the results of my B- and C-days. This means automating and simplifying things as much as possible. In work, hobbies and life in general. A-days are rare, and even though they are very productive, the output is mostly generated on B and C. Being able to progress even on the bad days shies away the meltdowns and burning out.
Oh yes, been there and seen that. Guys on a trading desk at Some Bank wanted an app, so the IT Dept said "fill in this form, so we can set an agenda for a meeting to discuss how we're going to approach defining the requirements..."

One of them had Excel, Access and played with VBA, and in a couple of weekends had come up with a monstrosity that did just what they wanted. It lasted for years as a major part of their work toolbox until someone wrote a proper app for them in C#.
Nice hardware, except for that black strip between the |\ key and the enter key, making them look as one big enter key.
> New engineers are falling behind.

That's not my experience at all. Having onboarded new engineers (new grads) from pre and post pandemic, I would actually say onboarding experience has improved with the advent of remote work. We use many more tools and techniques to keep communication open and get new team members up to speed. Through a combination of live chat, jumping on a video conference, and a feedback cycle of asking questions to improving documentation - the whole learning lifecycle has been improved by the elimination of that awkward "need to walk over to someone's desk and interrupt them in real time to get an answer" barrier that caused junior engineers previously to get stuck for indeterminate amounts of time.

I will say that the one complaint I do hear from this cohort is the lack of an "out of work" social environment, especially for those jumping directly from environments like University - they are missing that "second place" social environment, but I question whether this should ultimately be tied to the workplace itself or whether there is a more appropriate solution which we will converge on with the advent of remote work. Assuming that the workplace is the solution for lack of social exposure seems misguided to me, in the same way that tying the workplace and gainful employment to health insurance is wrong - the workplace was a default social environment due to circumstances that have changed. Instead of shoehorning the workplace into that role now that it isn't needed for that purpose, we can come up with a better solution, and as new grads/junior engineers have evolved in their approach to remote work over the years, I have seen the seeds of these solutions start bearing green shoots - social networks of people with common interests which have met and mingled outside the workplace to fulfill their social needs. Honestly it seems like a much healthier direction as a whole in almost all dimensions.
Currently we distill the general GPT-4 down to function specific GPT3.5 turbo model using pseudo-labelling. The input-output pairs from the aligned few-shot GPT-4 are saved and this dataset is used to finetune a function-specific GPT3.5 model. Then that finetuned GPT3.5 is switched as the primary model used to carry out the function, which results in multiple times lower costs as the need for few-shot examples is removed and lower latency as well. If the finetuned model output does not follow the enforced constraints, we employ GPT-4 to "repair" the output and include that datapoint in the dataset used for future finetuning resulting in continuous improvements.

I've never had trouble converting between different measuring systems, why do metric folks complain constantly about it?
Right, since when does culture always equate to making money? Amazon and Walmart have pretty shitty work culture and they make a lot of money.

Even if remote work is less productive than in person work, office rents aren’t free.

Meta leases millions of square feet in Manhattan for I can only assume is at a cost of over $50/sq ft. You can hire a medium sized company with that kind of money flying out the door.
I've been surprised to see many pro devs using Excel/VBA as a secondary tool.

One example: a couple years ago I was working with a big hedge fund and one of their data analysts sent me an Excel model he had built and I was tickled to see the .xlsm extension (i.e., VBA code on board).

"Ahh ha", I thought, "Let's see what these macro-recording cowboys have been up to."

There was a lot of VBA inside, all written by this Caltech comp sci data analyst who was a Python superstar. The VBA was for pulling data from a database, putting it on a sheet, building some formulas, and some pretty formatting. There were even a few userforms!

I teased him, "VBA? What else are you guys using over there? A cotton gin and a steam shovel?"

I was startled to hear him heap praise upon Excel and VBA instead of the usual complaints.

He said something that stuck with me, "Excel makes it easy to understand the dependency structure that is implied by computations. If I had done this in Python, I'd be answering questions about it all day long."
My hot take: this is actually really good (and would be fantastic if all the big tech followed suit).

Why? Imagine a world where big tech was cool with remote workers. They would be able to out-pay and acquire all the best talent, everywhere.

With this self-imposed restriction, this leaves a big pool of high end talent able to be recruited by smaller start-ups who ordinarily wouldn't be able to compete on comp, benefits, and stability.
The issue comes down to reproducibility and understanding of the problem space.

A chimeral person with two different DNAs in their body isn't magical, but it can throw off any rule base system that says "People only have one DNA in their bodies".

> You have a typo of "486DX" in your first line introducing the 486SX.

You're right -- but I can't fix it now. :-(

> It was a significant amount of chips at the time, since the 486 was still new

It might have been. If you have any pointers to numbers, I'm curious.

But when the 80486 first appeared, it was just the "486". The DX/SX thing came later, and the early 486SX units definitely had a full FPU on the die -- I remember X-rays, de-capping, and die-shots.

I just checked and the gap was longer than I realised:

(80386, 1985)

(386SX, 1988)

i486, 1989

(Windows 3.0, 1990)

486SX, 1991

486DX2, March 1992

(Windows 3.1, April 1992)

Just a year between the 486SX and the DX2, which rendered it largely irrelevant -- then, the budget option became a non-clock-doubled model, and the clock-doubled one became the premium product.

> There is no power generation that has a potential for serious damage compared to nuclear

Of course there is. Good old oil, coal and gas burning. Since we’re fear-mongering on potentials here, would you like to estimate the cost of a runaway green house effect that turns the whole Earth into Venus? Climate scientists are warning we may already be beyond that point of no return. And we are still putting CO2 into the atmosphere while arguing the “potential” dangers of nuclear!
At the risk of sounding negative I have to dissent. Linux on the Framework is great *if* you use GNOME or KDE. Those two DE's specifically support Fractional scaling in Wayland the best

I've been using XFCE for the better part of 15 years meanwhile. Its Wayland support is a permanent unfortunate "work-in-progress" (apparently they only have two full-time developers for the whole project?) and I'd assume many other less popular desktop environments are in a similar bucket

The Framework is a fantastic laptop and a joy to use even under Windows 11. I don't hold its XFCE issues against Framework, but it's worth remembering that "Linux on the Desktop" isn't a single monolith

Depends on funding. Ask your employer to pitch in!
Maybe when read in a strictly narrow sense it is even a good translation. Practically, it is more of a caretaker role (especially in the case of Scheel here), though, and interpreting into the phrasing can be dangerous. Naming things that aren't named is always tough, and even tougher when needing to go from one language to another.

I'd agree that often things human are more loose but when there are narrow definitions ignoring them is dangerous.
I didn’t insinuate anything about sexism never existing.

I also didn’t cherry-pick anything, I used the exact phrase you said you’d heard all over women’s spaces.

The data you show are based on broad terms that would be difficult to ascribe to any causes or uses as they could just as likely be a reflection of men’s increasingly poor mental health — “why isn’t my husband happy” or the increase in relative participation of wives in Google searches.

Sexism is rampant. I had just hoped the incoming matriarchy would be more compassionate than the previous patriarchy. It isn’t looking good so far.

Correct. Nor do they even understand, or want to understand.

No it isn't that's a ridiculous position to take. Also every Google phone for the last decade has had an unlockable bootloader. Take it up with Samsung if they refuse to do the same, although a quick internet search suggests many of the recent generations of Samsung devices also have unlockable bootloaders.

I suppose that's a union by name. But for the millions of people in a real union, it isn't recognizable as one.

Most unions function to keep an established order where seniority matters more than capability and performance.

Besides sports unions, actors guilds, and other small examples, unions exist to provide a framework for collectivising unskilled labor into a unit of power, where individually they have none.
Simple answer my friend, so that they can use one chassis on both the ANSI and ISO models. Pretty standard practice in laptops.
Absolutely agreed. Some junior devs will always struggle, but I've seen FAR more struggling since remote work started. My current junior ICs are significantly worse at problem solving and lack significant context that they would easily get by sitting near more experienced engineers.

Heck, most of what made me a good engineer was that I started my career with my desk right next to a stellar senior dev. Watching him work taught me so much.
Doesn't seem like you can authenticate with a backend except for a GPT-wide api token, which makes this way less useful that it could be. You can basically not fetch or store the user's information outside ChatGPT, or am I missing something?
that's a good approach. haha
Maintaining links is going to be a pain in the neck, sure. I don't mean to make light of it. However, that's kind of inherent with going from one service to another, and not something GitHub's doing to make it artificially harder.
Right a trendline typically follows a curve before it reaches the apex.

If anything based on achievements we've had a speed up in the trendline. We are seeing acceleration. Predicting a limit like in Moore's law means seeing a slow down before we hit that limit.

You can make analogies but analogies aren't proof. An analogy to Moore's law ending does not mean it is the same thing happening in AI. You need evidence.

I agree that a limit will eventually be hit. That will always be the case but we haven't hit that limit yet. It's only been roughly a year since the release of chatGPT.

Additionally compute isn't the main story here. The main story is the algorithm. Improvements in that dimension are likely not at a limit yet such that a more efficient algorithm in the future will need less compute.
> Taxes would still happen on renter investment property.

Exactly. It makes renter investment property more expensive to maintain, hence making rental properties a less desirable asset, reducing the numbers built and increasing the cost of renting.

Whereas a homeowner doesn't pay that tax at all, meaning the entire residential property burden is put onto renter.

Stolen art requires the original to be taken from its rightful owner. The original owner still has their work, meaning no theft has occurred. Also worth a mention is that in the case of AI art the original owner is hard to discern in the first place because the work is often too transformative to pin any part of it to even a single artist.
