They fell for the classic, "build a product and then find customers" strategy. It's the quickest way to burn 1-2 years.

I have a saas product that I have been running for several years by myself and I would consider it quite successful. The "strategy" I used (if you can call it that) was almost the exact opposite.

I witnessed customers paying services for a product. I looked at the product and thought, "Huh, I could do that and charge half as much" and then (the most important part), I did it.
There's only one metric that matters at the end of the day, and that's $. Revenue.

I think you underestimate the amount of boiler-plate code that a typical job at Google requires. I found it soul-crushingly boring (though their pay is insane).

Existed. Even from the cover, you can see gender substitution (fine). No need to stereotype gender roles.

But they messed with the art in doing so. Want equal representation of women? Cool, don't care. Just put Dad in the kitchen alone. Don't get rid of the scarecrow just to make room for a woman, because it messes up the whole image. And their art is not up to the original standard.

It's a market for lemons.

Without redoing their work or finding a way to have deep trust (which is possible, but uncommon at a bigcorp) it's hard enough to tell who is earnest and who is faking it (or buying their own baloney) when it comes to propositions like "investing in this piece of tech debt will pay off big time"

As a result, if managers tend to believe such plans, bad ideas drive out good and you end up investing in a tech debt proposal that just wastes time. Burned managers therefore cope by undervaluing any such proposals and preferring the crappy car that at least you know is crappy over the car that allegedly has a brand new 0 mile motor on it but you have no way of distinguishing from a car with a rolled back odometer. They take the locally optimal path because it's the best they can do.

It's taken me 15 years of working in the field and thinking about this to figure it out.

The only way out is an organization where everyone is trusted and competent and is worthy of trust, which again, hard to do at most random bigcorps.

This is my current theory anyway. It's sad, but I think it kind of makes sense.
But people largely want matchmaking. They don't want to deal with having to find a server of like-minded players, they want to hop in a lobby with maybe a few friends, pick a map pool, and go.

What exactly are these websites, why do their webmasters have a special relationship as "Google Web Creators," and how is it so many of them were coincidentally shadowbanned? This article is interesting about the state of Google as seen by a visit to the campus and at a dismal event, but I still don't have a clear idea who the people let down by Google are.
Our ability to solve integrals is much more limited when the dx represents a slight change in a function, rather than a small change in a real number. As a result, a lot of things that are easy to say in English such as "quantized curvature in spacetime," or "strongly coupled gauge theory," turn into a big mess when they're written down more precisely. One of the consequences of this limitation is that we have a model for quantized vibrations in spacetime that only works when they do not interact with each other. General relativity says that no, gravitational fields do interact with each other - so the picture we have at present is incomplete. The model of non-self-interacting gravity is a particle we call a "graviton," and it probably describes reality very well when the gravitation involved is so weak that its self-interaction is undetectable.

String theory and loop quantum gravity fit into this picture by trying to replace the integral over something we can't handle with an integral that matches it at large scales, but turns into something more tractable at small scales. Maybe the fact that we still can't make sense of the integral is Nature's way of telling us that she does not do the integral either...
It's not teleporting that's hard to deal with, it's aimbots and wall hacks. You have to trust the client with enemy position information that it shouldn't be able to see yet, and trust their shot position inputs.

Also, constantly flying around and teleporting is easy to catch, but using it in small bursts is very powerful and harder to catch.

That fits with the common observation that men who identify as women typically understand women even less than other men, and often have some oddly inflexible and sexist ideals of womanhood - because their ASD traits make it difficult to understand people generally and can lead to underinformed mental models of the world around them, including human behavior.

A lot of these are not scams! Over the last few years I've made in aggregate well into the 6 figures of side hustle advisory calls and engagements from these networks. Legit ones I've worked with include GLG, Guidepoint, Alphasights, Tegus and i'm probably forgetting a few more good ones.

Another interesting dynamic is that if you set your rate high, you might actually see more demand. Folks who use these services are not cost sensitive. They may often pick the most expensive expert in the hope of learning as much as they can in the fewest number of calls.

Just be smart though. Don't violate any of your current employment or confidentiality agreements when taking any of these engagements.
Net income is what goes into your bank after taxes/etc. In the US, the higher tax brackets are around 30% for federal taxes alone, so that extra $20k costs the company around $30k. Not counting state taxes or anything else like paying into benefits. Not sure if retirement savings count here. So let's say between $35k and $40k.

Googling "personal assistant salary", it looks like the average in the US is ~$50k/year. So a personal assistant would cost more, but it is in the right ballpark where that could be a better choice than that raise if this is the reason for the raise:

I feel like, given my experience lately with all the API models currently available, that this is only a fact if the models google is using internally are SIGNIFICANTLY better than what is available publicly even on closed models.

Claude 3.5-sonnet (latest) is barely able to stay coherent on 500 LOC files, and easily gets tripped up when there are several files in the same directory.

I have tried similarly with o1-preview and 4o, and gemini pro...

If google is using a 5M token context window LLM with 100k+ token-output trained on all the code that is not public... then I can believe this claim.

This just goes to show how critical of an issue this is that these models are behind closed doors.
Why OOP is a bad idea
It's sad really. They could have had the "courage" to say, you know what, there's not much to LLMs yet. We've been shipping NPUs since 2017 and already use ML across our ecosystem to improve the user experience, but we're not going fall for the AI hype. We'll continue shipping useful features as they become ready. And hey, you already have lots of ways to do gen stuff with apps!

But no, instead we get THE FIRST IPHONE BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP FOR AI!!!1!1! which... doesn't even ship with it and when they finally roll it out it's... standard gen stuff. And not even all that great compared to what you can already do, even local.

As many others have said, Google isn’t using a cryptographic hash here. It’s using perceptual hashing, which isn’t collision-safe at all.
A lot of people believe a lot of things. I wonder why you don't believe that people believe this.

Now whether you yourself believe he was born then, another time or ever existed at all etc is another story.

I believe for example that everyone can believe whatever they want about those things as long as:

They leave me alone when I tell them I don't believe that and I don't want to be convinced

They don't try to kill me, enslave me, etc for being an infidel (yes that includes the Christian holy wars sort of thing but also current events)
If that holds true (and not sure that it does), then it also holds true for when you decide to get another job, on your own terms, rather than being forced into it.

TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 – Matt Mullenweg Interview [video]
Sorry for not being more clear, I was referring to the advertising or promotion that comes via the elite players. Take Valorant, for example. Riot Games leveraged their League of Legends user base and gave early access to high-end players and that apparently played a big part in helping its popularity take off. Now it has a robust presence in eSports, again helped by the high-end players.

It's not uncommon now for popular professional streamers to get early access to new features/modes because the game companies know that those players can help build or retain the player base.
> (NB: I'm deliberately not saying complexity, because the code doesn't necessarily get more complex)

the context was already lamenting the duplication of code, which in itself is a form of inconvenience, as you kinda admit; because generalizing it to "complexity" would be forgetting the possibility of adding resilience, and adding stuff doesn't necessarily mean anything gets more complex - just more entrophic, the stuff added may not be optimal.

> But writing a .... is a huge lift.

And also the only way to minimize the security risk; by rewriting/auditing/formalizing.

Ultimately the risk transformation is exponential; don't roll your own crypto, don't DIY authentication/authorization, don't risk your own inconvenience and assume security.

However the opposite, to use all the "agreed"-upon code, introduces a near similar surface area of risk, simply spread across more vectors. And because the vectors are spread, and the system is more complex, the dissolution of responsibility leads to the opportune laziest option - patching code together, trusting it works.

it would be wise to question why this convention is so normalized.
It's nice that it's built in but I would have preferred they wrote an API for it and let apps provide the service. There's no particular reason we should have to use Apple's models. I already do all the same things locally with ollama with my choice of models.

> Well, by definition, thinking is always explicit reasoning, no?

That doesn't feel right to me. (Heh, accidentally appropriate word choice.) There are a lot of tasks we do that are arguably "thinking" yet don't involve an internal "Oh, hey, I'm gonna solve this problem, I'm thinking right now."

For example, imagine you're at a park, and someone is feeding the ducks. Another person walks up behind them and sucker-punches them into the pond.

It should be almost a reflex [0] that you'll conclude "the puncher is bad" and "the person in the water needs help" without explicitly reasoning out. I think that task qualifies as "thinking", especially since it involves some kind of theory-of-mind about those other humans.

[0] An exception might be someone with a sociopathic disability, who would have to think more-explicitly to realize what reaction is expected of them.

it's not always easy to tell if it's just a player playing weirdly or a mistuned AI though. Maybe the player just have too low mouse sensitivity so it is always a little lagged, maybe it's actualy AI. There is no easy way to tell, and require manual judgement in a lot of cases.
This is completely incorrect. You can download a random binary and execute it. You will get a warning dialog saying it’s not signed by a known developer. You are free to ignore that though.
War is terrible. Nobody likes war. Yet war is also the norm for as long as human being exists. Saying military is the war machine is a cheap emotional appeal.

Military also fight to protect civilians when war break out.

Military is the deterrence force that prevent wars.

Military plays a key role in rescue and recovery when natural disasters hit.

Most military forces have more peace time than war time duties.
When you mention nuclear forces, are you referencing weak force and strong force? Do we understand these forces at the same level that we understand electromagnetism?

I guess we build a world where being catastrophically and confidently wrong about many things is completely normalized.

Don’t we already see a shift in this direction?

C suite is being sold the story that this new tech will let them fire x% of their workforce. The workforce says the tech is not capable of replacing people.

C suite doesn’t have the expertise to understand why and how exactly the tech is not ready but does understand people and suspects that their workforces warnings are just a self preservation impulse.

C suite also gets huge bonuses if they reduce cost.

So, they are very strongly encouraged to believe the story and the ones actually doing the work and knowing the difference are left to watch the companies products get destroyed.

> In my experience 4KB is my preferred block size.

This probably has something to do with the VM's filesystem block size. If you have a 4KB filesystem and an 8KB file, the file might be fragmented differently but is still the same 2x4KB blocks just in different places.

Now I wonder if filesystems zero the slack space at the end of the last block in a file in hopes of better host compression. Vs leaving it as past bytes.

> The first algorithm intended to be executed by a computer was designed by Ada Lovelace who was a pioneer in the field.

Babbage designed the first programs for the analytical engine.

Hopper was the first person to use the word "compiler" for a program, but it was not a compiler by the modern meaning; it was a linker, and not the first.

> Throughout the 19th and early 20th century, and up to World War II, programming was predominantly done by women;

Not by the modern meaning; they manually entered programs designed by men.

> After the 1960s, the computing work that had been dominated by women evolved into modern software, and the importance of women decreased.

The design of programs has always been done by men mostly.

- Tech is a small part of employment.

- Everyone is investing in chips, nvidia, compute and training without much thinking.

- Last few years inflation has eroded lots of buying power. So even if you have a job, you still feel the pinch.
