A lot of telecoms avoid it like the plague because:
1. it destroys network observability
2. they have so much IP space they don't even know what to do with it. /30 everything!

Management networks are a different story, but hey, some Tier 1's think they're so large they don't even need OOB anymore! (haha...)
So then some combination of my points (1) and (2), with the theory that there would be less wasted time during "work hours" and increased focus due to better work/life balance?

The counterargument to that theory, of course, would be that neither would happen, and there would be the same amount of time not getting work done, and people would work at same rate without any increase in focus or motivation. As you said, experiments may help answer this.

There's also another angle of why this is a contentious issue. The idea that people pushing for 4dww are already in cushy jobs with low accountability. Maybe of us here are software engineers being paid $$$$ meanwhile we're spending time writing long comments on HN instead of, say, working on that bugfix that people are waiting for. By contrast, a very large part of the workforce might be less affected by "motivation" than the kind of people pushing for 4dww.
Feel like the real question is what is the purpose of work, if not to feed the all powerful need to consume. Perhaps we need to look at the consumption end of things. Consume less. Work less.

The St. Jude Cloud (https://stjude.cloud) project is hiring Rust software engineers to rebuild the genomics ecosystem in Rust. We work on the forefront of computational genomics by applying advanced computational techniques to analyzing genomics data then sharing that data with the world. Come work with the individuals that wrote the Rust-based bioinformatics library, noodles (https://github.com/zaeleus/noodles), as well as many other projects (https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs).

NOTE that prior experience in bioinformatics or biology is NOT required for any of the positions below. We're just looking for amazing engineers, but rest assured, we teach biology/genomics/bioinformatics from scratch routinely. You must be interested in learning though! If you'd like to get a sense of what you'd be learning, check out the guide we wrote to teach software engineers about genomics here: https://learngenomics.dev.

The solution has exponential time and space complexity, which I noted in the blog post. It is only interesting for its simplicity and as a stress test for supercompilers.
> And I don't buy the lmsys leaderboard results where Google somehow shoved a mysterious gemini-pro model to be better than GPT-4.

What do you mean by "don't buy"? You think lmsys is lying and the leaderboard do not reflect the results? Or that google is lying to lmsys and have a better model to serve exclusively to lmsys but not to others? Or something else?
One issue is the way taxes work in Germany that disincentives entering the middle rungs of a career ladder. Like if you’re a software engineer and want to become an engineering manager, you might end up earning less after tax as a manager than you did as an engineer as your salary increase puts you in a new tax bracket.

Otherwise Germanys economy is optimized to support medium to large German companies with export businesses. Little attention has been given to support new business ventures, so for young people becoming an entrepreneur makes little sense when you can earn more and have less stress with a normal job.

full disclosure: this is based on personal experience and observation as a Brit that worked in Germany for a while and ended up in Switzerland

That could already be the case. Round trip time to the ~500km orbit is about 4 milliseconds (+ all other network elements before, after and in between). They claim to have a >5000km link running for significant time. Now think of a fibre link of that length and how many repeaters / routers will be needed due to attenuation and physical constraints. I can clearly see a path where Starlink laser links could be a viable option to subsea cables - at least for some priority traffic...

> no incentive to...

I am working hard to not build and fuel a fully loaded Boeing 787 into high-earth orbit and crash land it on the not-my-problem, told'ya, it's all corrupt-all-the-time, MONEY! money-is-the-measurement-of-all-things, it's bad-here-so-I-left city center fecklessness of it all.

Toyota at its peek performance (say late 1980s) was making king-kong sized money top and bottom line. No manager would ever say their only incentive or even primary care is cash. "Our only incentive is walk around with cash. Cash in the hand, cash in the brief-case, cash in the pocket, cash on the boss' desk. Show me the cash." has never spoken in companies knowing about TQM.

Instead there were aware of the numerous cross-cutting factors that, in net, determine what kind the money the company can make

Maybe medicine cares about cash so much, because it's broke or close to broke all the time. Hmmmm.

There are ton's of great incentives for the docs, the nurses, the customers, and the company's top/bottom-line to name just a few.

Somehow, someway, one day, one time management will have to get sick and tired of the on-going mediocracy. And until then I guess medicine doesn't suck hard enough. Eventually, like in Voltaire's Candide, they'll have to get into lockup, when the lady in the other cell says (paraphrasing): "You think that's bad? Big deal. I only have one ass-cheek" and goes on to tell a serious tale of woe. We're not sure yet if medicine is the one-cheeked lady, our Candide and his charges in the other cell. Only time will tell!

My extended family:

* runs several hospitals in the US

* owned a radiology business w/ multiple branches for a while

* worked at major city trauma care university hospitals that eventually went bust and had to stop operating

A few things I can tell you about them when we spoke about how the US does 16% of GDP on medicine with its high costs, and sometimes poor outcomes in what should be routine stuff,

- On the people: doctors, and nurses love to help and can be counted on same. Wonderful people.

- They did not tolerate quitters

- Good incentives (carrots) and incentives for dumb (sticks) are not per-se key, but rank in the top 10 with several other things to right the ship.

- Crummy hospitals run by crummy people (esp admin, senior staff, and management) that can't even break even can't help patients, because the unit has to close. There was serious contempt for anything contributing to that eventuality

- They tried in some cases to focus on process improvement, and process simplification instead of more automation for crummy processes.

- They were at times despondent about the sectionalism and the fact that software is too compartmentalized by discipline because the IT stuff often came from vendors that could have some integration but certainly not enterprise integration.

100% agree. We looked at comparable books in terms of how they were pitched to an audience, size, quality, features (slipcase, color, binding, etc.), and went rather low on the retail price in the end, hoping to make it up with quantity, which happened!

Definitely looking at comparable projects helps you figure out potential final dollars you might raise, average rewards, and distribution of rewards.

> What kind of a maniacal ego maniac asks everyone close to them to all gather together and talk about how wonderful they are so they can watch?

This, as currently worded, is a criticism of birthday parties as well
> Consume less. Work less.

The entire system we built during the last 200 years revolves around consuming more and working more, the inertia makes it nearly impossible to even imagine something else at that point (as we can see by reading the comments on this very thread)
I'd expect them to have used AI in the broadest sense of the word, one that includes spell checkers and autocomplete. But, for the same reason AI assists but has not fully replaced us software developers, I think it's not likely to have done more than that — LLMs are one example of AI that's great when you're lacking some skill, it "raises the waterline" so to say, but when you're the best in the business you see all of the flaws in its output.
Do you have similar positions to this available in North America? I have worked with Stryker through my prior company in a similar role, so this position interests me.

You definitely can have very different amount of GDP with the same number of people. Why would less people mean lower GDP than simple proportion would suggest?

Completely agree, the value with the message is really just to link an external ticket Id, the user experience is much better in external ticketing systems for all of the story telling that the article loves.

Don't read "external ticket system" as closed either, plenty systems are open to the public.

> My mom got oranges for christmas, now anything short of a new smartphone is borderline a war declaration on your offspring

And not only that, but we're outraged if the super-computer in our pocket costs more than a few hundred bucks, so we expect our goods to be cheap and therefore workers get very little (putting aside "corporate greed" and other buzzy words for a moment).

Does the 4DWW crowd acknowledge the point you are making? Because to me it seems their premise is "We can do the same in 80% of the time."
There are rumors, that AI could generate theologically more accurate homilies than some priests. It's funny and scary at same time.

From memory, I recall reading that there was work done by a french mathematician that didn't seem to have much applicability until the advent of 3d modeling.

I'm probably wrong here, it's mostly from memory some 20 years ago. But having said that, I think the overarching point is still valid, it's often the case that someone does something to explore and an application for it is discovered, sometimes posthumously.

Working in germany is just not worth it.
For example in this reddit thread(1) someone asked how much you would earn if you work for an us company paying 100 000 dollar per year while living in germany.
At the time the thread was written 100 000 dollar were about 91100 euro.
After taxes and other things like statutory health insurance you would only have 42.276 euro left (and you still need to put money into your securities account for your retirement as the state based pension isn't sufficient anymore due to the aging population).

New England is pretty vague, where is the office or is this remote?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the US government can take over a business like that. They can take the land where we host the equipment, though if that happens, I guess I'd just move it somewhere else?

I did personally sign some documentation (EAR) saying that I wouldn't export the equipment to a whole list of countries and I definitely won't do that. I also won't rent to anyone in those countries either, just to cover my bases. I have high ethics and have no desire to get in any sort of trouble.

It is, of course, also nonsensical and inconsistent in how it applies these rules. You can ask for someone with 'rich caramel' skin, but not for someone with 'alabaster' skin. You can ask for a hunting bow but not the knife.

Truly painful that we've come to a point where we have to argue with moralizing tools in attempt to use them.

Layer | San Francisco Bay Area | Full-Time | Founding engineer

We’re building SMB accounting software API-first so that it can be integrated directly into software platforms where business owners already work. Our customers are vertical software platforms in the vein of Toast, MindBody or Housecall Pro that help small business owners start, run and scale their business with workflows and financial products. We help them serve their customers who are stuck exporting all their data out of these systems into CSVs and importing it back into other accounting software.

Integrating with our accounting APIs gives business owners automation & accounting workflows directly within their core software while the software platforms get to solve one their customers’ biggest pain points: worrying about bookkeeping & finances.

We’re looking for a founding engineer who is excited about building a company and team as well as building better software for SMBs. We are well funded by top tier investors and are live with hundreds of small businesses.

Tech: Kotlin (KTor) / Docker / Postgres / AWS (ECS, RDS, ALB)

If you’re passionate about building software that real small businesses use every day, get in touch with me at daniel [at] layerfi.com

I always thought that in a highly automated world, reducing the mandated working hours would be the solution to bring prosperity and peace, but there are some obvious problems with that. For example, in a global economy, nations compete with each other, and for developing nations, an average german producing for fewer hours, but consuming the same or even more resources, would be a great competitive advantage. For something like this to truly work I think it would have to be rolled out globally, or certain tariffs would have to be in place against nations that don’t follow the practice - and let’s be honest, certain nations do much worse things today to gain competitive advantage, and really nobody cares, most people love cheap stuff, however morally questionable the source is.

Germany can import/export and trade with everyone outside of Germany without dumbing down their population to people with a vocabulary of 100 words. Cross border trade language may be English, but domestic business language is German.
