While there can certainly be case where items of local knowledge haven't been cataloged by (recent) science, I think that you are giving far too much credit to that side. It's not as if there was much oral tradition going on with ancient stories passed on from generation to generation, that just doesn't happen all that much in a place that had print media or better for half a millennium.

What we do have is knowledge encloded in place names ("Burgstall"), but locals won't be any wiser about the history of the thing unless they happen to be the type of person who collects and consumes books written by local history science buffs of earlier generations.

A chance discovery like this usually happens when some known (usually to science far more than to locals!) but not recently disturbed site has to make room for an infrastructure project and the archeologists are sent in to make use of the last chance to see.
There are many reasons that startups tend to have young employees.

As someone in a similar place in my life, I'd never take a job like that either.
One time when I was flying out of DC, I got to see a space shuttle on the airport tarmac. (I can't remember if it was mounted on a 747 or not.) A very cool surprise.

Well that's the gamble with OpenAI isn't it? There's some utility now but it's currently unclear when we'll hit a hard wall on what's realistically capable with the models (and their direct successors), and how many things OpenAI will be able to with them.

I don't think anyone knows for sure where that wall will actually be (including OpenAI themselves). While I don't actually think we'll get AGI any time soon from any company[1], if they did manage to fully crack it, then there's really no limit to how much they can actually do and how much money they can actually make.

I certainly don't think we've seen the end of the capabilities though, even in the near term; I think the GPT models have a lot of room to improve and I think that newer models for generative images and video and music and 3D models are going to get substantially better. How "profitable" that will be will depend on a bunch of variables (e.g. costs of GPUs/TPUs/something else, energy costs, potential regulatory hurdles, etc.).

Getting absolutely dragged on this by recruiters on linkedin - after seeing multiple viral posts on twitter about white-fonting text into a resume to get more interviews, we decided to add a small feature which allows users to add invisible content to their resume. While we do not recommending using this, it is super interesting and given our position of a large amount of job seekers, we figured, why not see if it works.

Men aren't playing victim, they're wising up to their circumstances. They're anti-snowflakes, they know society views them as expendable and fungible. They're done being viewed as "pathetic" when they're dying by the tens of thousands in the largest European land war since WWII.

The small amount of effort helps not only for those who are new to the concept, but also makes it easier to discover the article via search.

> Some abbreviations become so common they transcend the expectation of definition.

I agree with this, however it just seems silly to use an acronym 10+ times (as "BI" was in this article) and never once expand on its definition.

And it isn't as though the web site in question is specific to this concept, where users discovering the article are conveniently and unavoidably exposed to information regarding its meaning. In fact, according to a quick Google search, the string "business intelligence" doesn't appear at all across all of the site's indexed pages.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but it just throws me off to have to stop reading and go on a quick side quest to learn what a key acronym used in the article might stand for. :)

The prime example of evil incarnate? Not, say, death camps and genocide?

I think it's generally an interesting technology with a lot of uncontroversially beneficial applications - things like voice transcription, drug discovery/response prediction, defect detection, language translation, tumor segmentation, weather forecasting/early warning systems, EEG decoding, malware detection, or OCR. No longer having to memorise FFMPEG commands also doesn't seem that evil to me.

Automation of tasks is something we all already benefit from constantly, like to keep food fresh without having someone collect ice from mountains, but I do agree with the concern that under capitalism it tends to lead to concentration of wealth. I think the productive path is along the lines of UBI or broader economic changes, allowing everyone to capture the utility, not through rejecting the technology itself and definitely not a hatemob against an open source developer from deciding to take a handy opt-in tool as a stand-in for evil itself.

Revealed preferences are only as revealing as the market is competitive. In monopolies, is it not revealed that the populace prefers to be price-gouged?

be a founder or a consultant, not a founding engineer. build up a set of specialized skills in something you love doing, network your face off, keep lifestyle inflation under control, and keep a large amount of your savings liquid(ish). if the right people and opportunity comes along, be ready to tap those savings and live off them for at least a year while you build the company or be selective about your next consulting job. like the old cliche says, luck is where opportunity meets preparation.

if you're not that ambitious and simply want to live comfortably, then go to those early stage startups and negotiate for higher cash comp and a smaller slice of the options.

you can make great money as a SWE, but there's a massive leap between that rung on the income ladder and the ones above it. it takes a dedicated effort to get there.
people already do a variant of “earlier gets more, later gets less” that’s a lot smoother/linear than your scheme and can be customized and adjusted to roles (engineers get more than salespeople as an example). With what you describe, offering some exec down the line 0.5% or whatever is impossible.

You need flexibility because at any moment some killer candidate might come along that you need to juice the grant for. Just being earlier doesn’t mean they contribute more to the company

This is indeed impressive, I personally haven't accomplished anywhere near as much in the same timeframe. This is great PR here, and this is what would have been accomplished with a relatively meager spend on A PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT at Tesla. A steady trickle of undeniable Good News would have gone a long way and made for a smoother road for stockholders as well as made The Shorts lives a little harder. The value of one good Tweet (X-ing? what are we calling these now?) is one thing, the value of a steady stream of Undeniable Accomplishments over the same time frame would have been a lot more.

Regarding the stock, the same basic tools Elon uses to spook the market could easily be turned to stoke the market. Hiring a professional is expensive for sure, but its often cheaper than the alternative. This one tweet won't garner the attention or hold the weight theses accomplishments deserve.
> But I strongly believe it's a fallacy.

Either the LLM is the most efficient way to generate text, or there's some magic algorithm out there that evolution stumbled upon a million years ago that we haven't even managed to see a hint that it exists. In which case, you'd be right, this is a fallacy.

Or, brainmeat can't do it better or more efficiently, and either uses the same techniques or something even worse. The latter seems unlikely, humans still do pretty well at generating text (gold standard, even).

> it's better to look at the way generative AI fails than the way it succeeds: when it makes mistakes in text or images, the mistakes are very much not the kind of mistakes that humans make, because the process behind the scenes is very different.

But are you looking at "mistakes" that are just little faux pas, or the ones where people with dementia, bizarre brain damage, or blipped out on hallucinogens incorrectly compute the next word? The former offer little insight. Poor taste in word choice, lack of eloquency, vulgar inclinations are what they amount to.

> but it seems unlikely we've learned to write by subconsciously arranging all the words we've encountered into multidimensional vector space and performing vector math operations to arrive at the next word

You think I meant that someone learns to do that at 2 years old, rather than that the brain has already evolved with the ability to do vector math operations or some true equivalent? I'm not talking about some pop psych level "subconscious" thing, but an actual honest to god neurological level faculty.

> but we reason about concepts and
Wander into Walmart next time, close your eyes briefly and extend your psychic powers out to the whole building, and tell me if you truly believe, deep down in your heart, that the humans in that store are reasoning about concepts even once a week. That many, if not most, reason about concepts even once a month. I dare you, just go some place like that, soak it all in.

Human reason exists, from time to time, here and there. But most human behavior can be adequately simulated without any reason at all.
It's too bad WebSQL never took off, as that was sqlite built in to the browser.

From memory the wasm binary of wa-sqlite is ~1mb, which is certainly not nothing but is an acceptable one-time download size for many web apps. I've seen websites with single image files larger than that. Not an advocating for more bloated web apps, but a sqlite download might not be a deal breaker.
The main advantage of being an early employee is that you can leave.

Founders generally need to go down with the ship, early employees do not. If the growth trajectory starts to falter after 1.5-3 years, just get out of there and try another company. Let the founders clean it up (and you have equity in case they do).

I see device attestation is a different issue. Passkeys don't have to have device attestation. FIDO2 has long-supported this already in the form of AAGUIDs [1] which do address a valid use case of wanting to restrict the kinds of authenticators that can be used. For example if you have FIPS requirements.

I do agree that passkeys, implemented in software, should categorically prohibit attestation. I think the cost of needing attestation should be that you have to require/invest in the actual hardware tokens.

Oregon has gotten a little pricy lately, right?

You should be candid with them that you're uncomfortable with the cash portion of your comp.

5% is an unusually high % of equity, the founders likely assumed you were happy to trade-off cash for equity. Series A is usually a dilutive round and it's normal to grant people like yourself more options to compensate for the dilution (i.e. to keep you at 5% of the new cap table).

My 2¢: I know people in your position who have ~$200k cash comp in addition to meaningful equity. Don't feel bad about asking for more cash, if your founders have a good relationship with you and you're providing value for the company, they'd rather invest the marginal cash in you and keep you happy + comfortable.

Since we're talking about chip fabs as strategic military assets, I'm curious how vulnerable they are to sabotage.

No. You have to enroll the password managers independently.
Big caveats on these numbers:

2. Going from L5-L7 is _not_ trivial. It requires a somewhat miraculous combination of being on a productive team with a good boss, a lot of opportunities for showy work and your own gamesmanship around corporate politics.

Is it possible? Sure. But in my short stint at Amazon, I met a lot of people who should have been higher level and were simply not due to missing one of these factors.

If you feel compelled to surveil yourself so as not to be arbitrarily fired by an algorithm, I do consider that dystopian; yes. You're not "in control" of data you're expected to turn over to your employer to keep your job. Worse still if these keyloggers become normalized, and they'll shift from being "optional" to "professionally expected" to "mandated".

This (IMHO) is an example of an attempt at a technical solution for a purely social problem—the problem that employers are permitted to make arbitrary firing decisions on the basis of an opaque algorithm that makes untraceable errors. Technical solutions are not the answer to this. There should be legally-mandated presumptions in favor of the worker—presumptions in the direction of innocence, privacy, and dignity.

This stuff's already illegal on several levels, in some of the more pro-worker countries. It's illegal to make hiring/firing decisions solely on the basis of an algorithm output (EU-wide, IIRC?). And in several EU countries it's illegal to have surveillance cameras pointed at workers without an exceptional reason—and it's not something a worker can consent/opt-in to, it's an unwaivable right. I believe—well, I hope—the same laws extend to software surveillance like keyloggers.
