Exactly. Whether you can figure out your daycare situation with 5 day RTO is at the bottom of the long list of things Andy Jassy cares about. Even if you are an L6 -- a senior position that takes years to achieve within Amazon -- that means nothing to the CEO. Probably the same if an L8 decides to leave. So what? There are so many L8s in the company, let's just hire someone else. See this at Apple -- https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/17/ian-goodfellow-joins-de... -- even if you are a DIRECTOR.

Once you realize that the corporate, especially large ones, don't give a ** about your life, you'll have a clear(er) view of how the world actually works, and what you might want to do with your life.

And because of this, I kind of cherish my relationship with my manager. I am an IC and he is a bottom level manager. There is still a lot "human" aspect of this, and he actually cares about me taking time off etc. He himself fears layoffs. You can't say the same when you go up the ladder. The only things senior management cares about are product, revenue and efficiency (maybe a few more). Employees are nothing but replaceable tools. The higher up, the less they are about individual employees.
You can disable the entirety of Apple Intelligence.

You can't enable Apple Intelligence and disable PCC, though.
"iterated" implies that there is no improvement. Why do you thing 15.1 wouldn't be an improvement over 15.0? I do agree with you that "perfected" is also not the correct word choice. I think I would have gone with "refined" or "improved"
True. It would be a good time to short some candy companies.

Soda companies will figure it out by releasing lots of diet sodas and energy drinks and so on.

Back in 1991, there was an uproar, an uproar I tells you, because System 7 required nearly a megabyte of memory instead of the 600K System 6 could run with. Sure, most users barely had more than a megabyte of memory, but it paints a pattern for sure.

There's a lot of back and forth about whether it's more efficient to work from home or from the office. There are arguments to either side. I'll say, when I'm working with a team, I'm far more effective working from the office, because communication is simpler.

A lot of the ways in which people point out that in-person work is ineffective aren't actually problems with in-person work. For example, people complain about "attendance periods" where workers are expected to be present for 8 hours even if there's not 8 hours of work to be done, but this can easily be duplicated with remote work, where people are expected to be online for 8 hours. Micro-managing employers who prioritize control over productivity might have slightly fewer ways to micro-manage remotely, but remote work is really only a band-aid to that problem, not a solution.

Ultimately, my conclusion from a few decades of working on teams is that given effective management, in-person is more effective.

And here's the thing: I don't care. Working from home is worse for the team but it's better for the worker. Decade after decade workers have become more productive, and decade after decade workers are paid less and less of a percentage of the benefits of their labor[1]. The ability to work from home is one of the few concessions employers have (begrudgingly) made to workers in the last few decades, and it's nowhere near enough. Employers should be forced to give up productivity to improve workers' lives, and if they want the productivity (and/or control) of in-person work they should be made to pay more for it.

I'm tired of seeing the whole conversation about this being about what is more productive. Workers aren't seeing any of the benefits of being more productive, so there's no reason for workers to care what's more productive. That's basic incentives: if you don't like that, you don't like capitalism.

How do I find jobs like that?
Amazing. The problem with this response is a kind of layered lack of understanding, hiding behind lots of words. Thank you for the illustration.

(The “All You Need is Attention” paper is fairly readable, all things considered, and peels away a lot of the apparent magic)
Installed it on test machine. Fine. Installed it on main machine. Fine. Very boring. Can't find any issues to complain about.
It's not cynical to point out external costs, the alternative is to take corporate propaganda at face value without ever questioning if things are right or not.
i don't know if they were ever profitable. But certainly i think there's been a paradigm shift to commercializing everything (mostly through advertising) the last decade or two and if you fall behind, whatever growth you were aiming for goes away and revenues shrink.

And also almost all advertising revenues have probably become centralized with google search, social media by facebook, and youtube, etc. That combined with rising costs, and higher opportunity cost to instead do something else means these sites are biting the dust.
There's no specific reason why LLMs couldn't be trained to say "Don't know" when they don't know. Indeed, some close examination shows separate calculation patterns when it's telling the truth, when it's making a mistake and when it's deliberately bullshitting, with the latter being painfully common.

The problem is we don't train them that way. They're trained on what data is on the internet, and people... people really aren't good at saying "I don't know".

Applying RLHF on top of that at least helps reduce the deliberate lies, but it isn't normal to give a thumbs-up to an "I don't know" response either.

...

Of course, all this stuff does seem fixable.
I feel like Big Tech management is simply in revenge mode. Managers and executives felt a tiny bit less powerful for a small amount of time due to their workers pushing for remote and having the leverage to do so. Now that interest rates have wrecked the employment market they are wasting no time going scorched earth on their current remote employees. The narratives they keep shoving down peoples throats are insulting at best. They should just tell everyone they want to stand over people and feel powerful and get it over with.
That begs other questions. The relevant reviewer isn’t available until Wednesday. Do I start on the next tasks in dependent branches? The act of making all those branches is a large part of the inherent busywork. And then I need to remember to get back to them when the reviewer gets back.

The benefit of all these small PRs is yet to be revealed.
You forgot the PIP culture.
Apples pretty decent about putting toggle switches on stuff, for instance you don't have to enable iCloud or even associate it with an Apple account if you don't care for FindMy and remote erase etc

But I'm with you, since Apple signaled going all-in on "an assistant that has access to everything" I switched to an android with the intention of never enabling Google services and certainly not the voice assistant. Unfortunately I've found it too annoying to go completely without Google, I've read that RCS messaging won't work with an unlocked bootloader, nor will precise location, so I'm stuck with some evil in the name of features parity.

Moving from Windows to Mac because you hate updates is like moving from Ubuntu to Red Hat. It's more of the stuff you hated except you don't realize it; ignorance is bliss?
I agree with your sentiment in general. The problem is how people are actually using it, especially the rich.

We shouldn't prescribe antidepressants for life so easily, but we do. We shouldn't feed livestock antibiotics, but we do. We shouldn't solve an eating/sedentary disorder with Ozempic, but we do.
Hmm. I still play a mix of ADD 1E and Basic/Expert twice a week, and regularly re-read the 1E DMG. I think Gary has a lot of ideas about how D&D is best played, and is happy to share them, but between what's written in the DMG, all of his posts on dragonsfoot over the years, etc., I can't agree that he thinks the only way to play D&D (or even AD&D specifically) is the way he envisions it.

In fact, he's always known that the overwhelming majority of players have not ever played D&D the way that he did during the OD&D/AD&D 1e days. You have to remember that Gygax and Arneson's campaigns were much more like a tabletop precursor to MMOs than what we think of today when we talk about TTRPG campaigns. Both of them were running persistent worlds where 30-50 players were dropping in and out constantly, often with multiple characters involved in different things, multiple parties, etc. Time ingame ran linearly with time in the real world (thus Gygax's repeated insistence that strict time records must be kept), things happened in-world even when no one was playing, etc. But it's always been a tiny minority of games that were run this way, and Gygax knew it and knew that most people playing would have difficulty doing it the way he did.

You also have to remember that Gygax explicitly states in the DMG that players should not know all the rules and that you should distrust any player that has a copy of the DMG, and has many places where he recommends the DM adjust things as they see fit for their situation and table. He also was in favor of DMs fudging rolls when they believed it to be the right thing to do! And there's also his quote of “The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules” - to me, all evidence points towards Gygax believing that the heart of the game really was at the table.
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo take a cut too and you can't sideload.
Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS? You mean those small pharmacies--two of which also contain insurance companies, and the other one still has its own clinics?

Pharmacies can only give out what people are prescribed, the only things they can push are OTC products. They can't get and sell scheduled drugs without being explicitly tracked.

But you're right about health care in the US. We need a single-payer system to get prices lower, but that means fairness and cutting out unnecessary costs. The whole health insurance industry would cease to exist, and all the people abusing it don't want that to happen.
Close, that's the definition of stereotyping based on race and can lend to bigoted acts and decisions.

Racism emcompasses a bit of a different scope, including policy, institutional structures, and norms, of which stereotypes is directly related to norms and can be indirectly influential on the others.
Twitter is exceptional in the exception sense.
Can you elaborate on why it's nice? How do I do multi-touch gestures with a single cursor? Is the main benefit be able to use iPhone apps on a bigger screen? Can iPhone apps display more content (maybe let the app pretend it's being displayed on an iPad or at least a larger screen than the physical screen size)?
I once had a very boring job with long compile times. I played a sound at the end of the build script, because otherwise I would just start goofing off and not doing anything.

Do they have coin/card operated machines then or just no coffee at all?
Assuming no duplicates, the only case that would make sense would be if all but a single byte was different (sequentially across all records). Even then you’d end up with more than the number of bytes we’re talking about, even excluding the size of the index (which would be non-trivial).
This sounds exactly like the team/culture that launched Marcus at Goldman Sachs. A lot of people went to Amazon from that team and seemed to indicate it was very much the same type of deal.
If you can take it, PTO was one of the better parts at Amazon if you were tenured. I think it was

- 4 weeks (20 days) of PTO if you were there for 6 years or more, plus

- 6 "personal" days

- in Seattle at least, 3 sick days

Holidays were pretty bad (I don't think MLK jr day was a holiday until like 2021), but personally I'd rather be able to chose my own time off than have random enforced "rest days/development days" and enforced week long vacations when all the hotels and flights are full or pricey and traffic is terrible.

Come to think of it, some of my best work was done in the quiet times of Christmas/New Years when everyone else was gone and I was thus left without distractions. Lots of fun prototyping and project bootstrapping memories.

MacOS is not secure in the way you would like to think it's secure. This is already risk. And Apple really could do this right: make screen mirroring use the DRM playback paths, and open up the API to trigger it to competitors (who would get precisely the same DRM-playback-pathed result of a screen mirror showing up in a window from which they cannot read). I don't really know why a competitor would want to compete here, but they could.
Old Spanish (12th century, El Cid as an example) was closer on spelling to Latin than the 16/17th century one from Don Quixote.
That’s so hilariously petty. As if management was not already dictating who is in charge.

Only when it pertains to government forgiveness, because of the bag holding problem.

Nobody cares when it is an unrelated entity that is willing to become the bag holder (e.g. parents). In fact, it has become almost expected that entities like parents will become the bag holders when it comes to college debt.

The bag holding problem is something quite different, not a parallel.

> "Why did I have to exercise when they could afford a bypass?"

So it crops up quite often, but only when it comes to weight loss-related matters?
It's crazy to me that more people don't realize this. You're working crazy hours, have no meaningful hobbies or life outside of work... and for what? No one's going to remember that you built some nice feature in some bit of software in 100 years, or even 20. Enjoy your life, enjoy people and community and activities. You can still get paid incredibly well as an engineer, more than enough to live comfortably, and work a normal 40 hour week (or less).

People prioritize weird shit.
This is a mistake. Python tooling is a sandpit. Complicated Excel spreadsheets are another sandpit. Additionally, you can't evaluate your spreadsheet formulas if you don't have Azure access, and now you have to worry about the "cloud" permissions and storage.
I saw that, but I receive a 403 forbidden response when I hit the link in all browsers.
I think it's actually easier on macOS because you can just swap everything if necessary. For some reason I don't understand, iOS does not employ swap, so while it can kill background apps, it can't kill foreground app.

That's surprising -- I would think it is obvious Amazon doesn't care about internal uproars, and there is nothing people can do about it. Otherwise the current 3 day RTO wouldn't have happened.

Or maybe c) They actually do have the data, and it's inconclusive or d) They actually do have the data, and it shows a positive impact on productivity and they don't care, or d) They don't care about data at all here?
re-inventing the shell, not the wheel. love it!
Comparing to other FANNGs, I think Meta seems like a drop-in upgrade, it is more cutthroat, same level of boringness, but more money. Google seems a little laid back, at least it is used to be that way, but money potential is less, as well as promotions. Apple I don't know. So I think most Amazon people left to Meta as a result. Not the other way around.

Bot farms will love that. A lot of websites are using reCAPTCHA and similar to prevent automation, but a lot of apps do not have anything similar. Maybe they do a jailbreak check and that's it.

Customers of this sort of security consulting are largely uninterested in the security as much as the audit report that allows them to say to their customers and incestors “we had these security professionals look at our stuff and this is what they said”.
Most people interact with apps like Health on their phone not their Mac.

And there are also many third party apps that never made Mac versions.

So the amount of data we are talking about exposing is significantly higher.

And the issue is that the DMA is ambiguous about what competition and interoperability specifically means and so it would just take one company to complain about your solution for Apple to be fined 10% of global revenue.
Was looking for this!
Reasons:

- URI length limits (not just
browsers, but also things
like Jersey)

- q-params are ugly and limiting
by comparison to an arbitrarily
large and complex request body
with a MIME type

However, q-params are super convenient because the query is then part of the URI, which you can then cut-n-paste around. Of course, a convenient middle of the road is to use a QUERY which returns not just query results but also a URI with the query expressed as q-params so you can cut-n-paste it.

That is incorrect in at least Canada and Spain.

The American market rules supreme. Any setting and/or ruleset popular with Americans will be able to afford much higher production values than its competitors. Those production values in turn attract non-American players.
It appears that the update is now available in the store.
Pretty simple really. The EU can't fine Apple for not doing business in EU countries, including not rolling out a feature. But if they do roll out a feature, EU has decided it can fine them 20% of global revenue if it isn't just how the EU wants it to be.

Not doing so only costs Apple whatever marginal business they expect to lose in EU for not offering this or that feature. So I'd expect more of this going forward.
