Yep. For example, I can see a person is black/asian/whatever. And our society (well, most of it) acknowledges that to discriminate based on that is wrong. Someone can get my DNA data. Society needs to also acknowledge that discrimination based on that is also wrong.

> In 2008, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was signed into law, ensuring that employers couldn’t decide to hire or fire you, and health insurers couldn’t decide whether to issue a policy, based on DNA. But lawmakers carved out a host of exceptions. Insurers offering life, long-term-care, or disability insurance could take DNA into account. Too many high-risk people in an insurance pool, they argued, could raise prices for everyone. Those exceptions are why an insurer was able to deny Bill a long-term-care policy.

Technically Gattaca is off the table at least for health insurance and employment.
The purpose of the system is what it does.

Humans have eradicated tons of species from various islands and areas over the years. If this was a priority it would be solved or on its way to being solved. It's not a priority so the problem just kind of continues at a simmer and nobody really cares as long as it doesn't encroach on the developed areas where people who's voices matter (at a state level) live and the business of lightening tourists' wallets takes place. And people like the author are left sadly pissing into the wind bemoaning the state of affairs.

Earlier this year I published a paper [1] that was partly about recognizing place references from text. Various NLP libraries and gpt-3.5-turbo were used in the comparison. The comparison was not the focus of the paper and newer LLMs are probably better, but in the specific case, gpt had a lower precision score than most of the tested NLP libraries and was also a bit more difficult to handle when trying to force machine-readable output.

> If it sucks and hallucinates information it's not going to go live anywhere.

It hallucinates and it's live in many places. My doctor uses it.

AFAICT the hallucination rate is fairly low. It's transcription and summarization which has a lower hallucination rate than when it's asked for an answer.

It's massively better than the alternative. Taking the time to write down proper notes is the difference between 4 patients per hour and 6 and a commensurate drop in income. So notes virtually always get short-changed.

Very occasionally hallucinated notes are better than notes that are almost always incomplete.

Exactly my point, hence why at least from the learning side it works well towards making something that is actually correct. What I was aiming at is that too often people teaching this stuff get lost in the weeds without any clear motivation for what is actually being taught.
Everyone should be terrified. The "promise" of AI is the following: remove any kind of remaining communication between humans, because that is "inefficient", and replace it with an AI that will mediate all human interactions (in business and even in other areas). In a few years, AIs trained by big corps will run the show and humans will be required to interface with them to do anything of value. Similar to what they want to do nowadays with mobile/enterprise systems, but at a much deeper level.

I've had a lot of fights about this with my girlfriend. We both work in academia and regularly go to the gym, but she insists to have a drink every now and then, which she says helps her take an edge off work stress. She also scolds me some times when I want to go to bed before 10pm, saying this is too restrictive and less fun. We ended up breaking up last week - not exclusively because of this, but these incompatibilities definitely contributed to the decision.
Point taken.

But most people misunderstand love as merely the feeling one has about another person or creature.

Love's highest manifestation is, however, an action that serves another person's happiness. It can be something that lessens a person misery or discomfort, or actually makes them happier in some way. It can be as simple as a warm smile on the street or giving something to them. Intention is important, and how it is received is irrelevant. The universe is sublime, and there is no end to our learning, if we so endeavor to plumb its depths.

Every human being's life is the result of such selflessly compassionate service, for, as infants, we must be given everything or we perish. For years. There is nothing tangible received for that giving, unless one understands how very tangible inner peace and happiness is. Understanding our place in this moral universe makes such happiness the only thing that matters, to those of us who actually understand. Know that no one is forced to comprehend or accept this most sublime of laws, just as there are flat-earth folks, too, who refuse to look through a telescope. We all have the choice to be as foolish (and unhappy) as we wish.
It's unpopular to say, but mass incarceration works at mitigating crime. Tough recidivism laws gets criminals off the streets. It also acts as a deterrent. One can point to high relapse rates or that there is still a lot of crime, but one must consider the counterfactual and control for demographics. Controlling for demographics and culture, would there be less crime with more lenient sentencing? I think not. It's possible that societies where leniency works are advantaged culturally or demographically in ways that the US isn't, so it works better there. Or maybe citizens or politicians have higher tolerance for crime.

It’s a great post and often what I see folks doing.

Hot take though: why do we need so many people and processes and mysticism around software these days? It seems to me the reason why it’s so difficult to ship anything, let alone anything good and useful, is because there are so many people involved who don’t actually participate in engineering. They manage time lines and meetings and emails and talking to customers. And somehow they’ve made themselves essential to the process so that developers can’t ship code anymore.

Like… I know my users on a first name basis. I know how their business works. We’ve talked about the button and we want to run an experiment.

As a developer I might want to just try it out with them. Maybe the change will be a good fit for the product as a whole, maybe it will be a solution that only works for this one customer, maybe it means we need to be able to configure which workflow is used.

If I can’t just ship that and get the feedback I need without involving a handful of other people and being completely fearful that I could take down our service… what is wrong here? Is it that there aren’t enough “shippers” on the team or is it because the organization has made it difficult to ship anything?

That being said, this is the world we live in, and the article has a lot of great advice. I’m definitely used to/conditioned to think this way.

Respectfully, the search engine is "allowed" to do what it wants to for its business purpose. In Ecosia's case, that is to prefer environmentally sound modes of travel, sites, or businesses.

What we absolutely shouldn't be providing to insurers is tech that gives them an arbitrage over customers, whereby the risk asymmetry makes their product valueless.

Even today most insurance is a scam to meet a "compliance" need for something else. that is, they have managed to get their product mandated, and it is a negative drag on the economy. They are rentiers who provide data and indirect tax revenue, and they do just fine thank you.

This idea that insurers will be bankrupted by perverse incentives assumes a binary outcome, and ignores that insurers have operated without genetic information for a few centuries and yet somehow the industry persisted, and if we deprive them of it they will not survive. Please, it's time insurers had some skin in the game.
It has shareholders which benefit from killing people, and who benefit more from war proliferating. How do you think that turns out in the long run? How has it turned out for Ukraine?

War companies sell war, and they sell it to evil people (see Israel's apartheid and genocide in Gaza). The privatization of war is bad for everybody.
You talked about being factual, but also claim:

> And it is not on Israel to fix their situation, at some point their situation is entirely self imposed.

This is factually untrue. All of Palestine (including East Jerusalem) is internationally recognized to be occupied territory. Occupiers have obligations under international law, this includes lifting the occupation, or according to the UN[1]

> The overarching principle is that an occupant does not acquire sovereignty over an occupied territory and therefore any occupation must only be a temporary situation.

Note that this is enlisted in the fourth Hague convention of 1907 which Israel is a party to. The occupation of Palestine is the longest occupation in the history of that agreement, beating the Turkeys occupation of Northern Cyprus by 7 years, and Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara by 8, but also is this occupation characterized serial violations of other parts of the agreement, most notably a policy of settlements (violating the prohibition of transfers of civilian populations) and the apartheid wall (violating measures to ensure restoration of civilian life, seizure of property, among others; and ruled a violation of international law in 2003, and ordered to be dismantled).

Unlike Israel, Palestine is under no such obligations as occupied peoples. International law does grant the Palestinian people the right to resistance (particularly to peaceful protests). Israel has consistently denied Palestinians any means of resisting peacefully, including protests, but most destructively, Palestinians have no political avenue for their resistance, leaving only armed, violent resistance. Israel’s own policy of not obeying international law has indeed ensured this reality.

Whether or not Israel is a colonial power is up for debate, but the debate is only about semantics. There is no doubt Israel is an occupying power. In my view, occupation is merely very concise legal term we apply to a subset of colonial conduct. Occupation is neither necessary nor sufficient condition for colonialism, but does grant international law the possibility to punish for some colonial behavior. In my books, 57 years of occupation counts as colonialism, and using resistance against said occupation to justify genocide is very similar to the rhetoric of 19th century colonial powers.

Large companies tend to have very conservative legal departments, and be less supportive of exceptions and more willing to just not hire someone who has requirements outside their perceived norm. The question would be whether the company has ever established an exception path, typically by having a high-level hiring manager insist and running it up the chain.

There was a Lenovo docking station compatible with the T420 (around 2012). The headphone Jack had shrieky noise on it whenever the Gigabit Ethernet connection got going. Took a while to figure that one out.

Not sure if / who am I quoting, but this thought isn't my for sure: the more layers of management the company has, the more times the incentives are inverted between the planning at the very top and the implementation at the very bottom.

It does often feel like Chinese whispers to the people at the very bottom: the orders make no sense whatsoever due to the distortion coming from the middle management. And, I totally agree with your assessment that OP sounds kind of sarcastic about the whole thing. Also the way they phrase it suggests it: it's not even what your boss wants, it's what's going to make your boss happy (if the boss is an idiot, they might want things that will end up making them feel sad, but that only makes your job harder as now you should also anticipate what would actually make them feel happy rather than dully following their advice.)
This article hints at, but doesn't fully dive into, the perspective of personal ethics. Many people who would never steal money from an individual would happily steal money from the government. As humans we tend to view these acts very differently.

Relatedly, such people are more likely to steal money from a government they see as evil/corrupt, than a government they see as good. This probably drives a large part of the "contextual" corruption effect the article discusses, where a non-corrupt individual starts working for a corrupt government and suddenly becomes corrupt.

This isn't about an individual. It's about America's economy, which is broadly doing very well. I never claimed it's universally doing well for every single person. That's statistically impossible.

Inflation can come in many forms. The wave we just had came during a historically tight job market, so yes, the poor (those without any savings) didn't do bad. Remember the labor shortage? One of the main reasons inflation went down this year was the huge influx of migrants alleviating it. I'll concede that's not doing any short term favors for the poor right now (though it's important to remember that immigration pretty much always makes everyone better off, poor included, after a generation or so), but in 2022 the middle class was definitely suffering more than the actual poor. This was not necessarily the case outside the US where the job market was not as crazy.

The stimmy checks helped with the initial Covid job shock, which was the intention. Of course they contributed to inflation.

I have a copy of Churchill's memoirs of WWII and also read his memoirs of WWI. I always liked the maps in the books, as they somehow brought me a little closer to the time. They're another way of conveying information not only about what is being discussed, but also how the people going through it saw things and what they wrestled with conveying.

Maps made in the current day to accompany Churchill's text wouldn't have the same effect.
