Neat how do you compare yourself on the annotation capabilities with Datasaur.ai which launched in the last YC batch? In terms of training the models for deployment -- do we own the artifact? Can I move that into my own model repository? Al

I just don't agree there is some objective standard of merit because there isn't, its a subjective concept. That leads to issues because not everyone's system is the same arguing otherwise would be blatantly false.

by Grimm1 6y ago
Sure and I think I said this in another comment somewhere in the thread, merit is probably fine for smaller systems with homogeneous groups. I think both of those qualify. Even then what I look for in an employee is probably different than
604.
by Grimm1 6y ago
Oh I'm certainly aware in fact that is probably the seminal issue of the idea of merit -- it's not an objective quality. Applied to a small system of homogeneous groups it's probably fine, as applied to society it falls apart

I don't believe in the idea of a true meritocracy because not only does every system have different things to merit and because often we can't define what those merits should be. Though as someone stated in another comment this is

I don't idolize meritocracy as the end all solution to our problems and if that's what came off of my statement then I should have been clearer. My biggest if not only claim is that the article is arguing something that I think is
607.
by Grimm1 6y ago
This is a really good point and I fell for the all or nothing nature of the article hook line and sinker. Very often the correct answer is something of a middle ground and this case seems to be no different.

Yeah I personally believe a senior engineer or lead is defined by the latter married to the former and that the latter becomes much more important at that level. So I agree that defining the useful characteristics to evaluate for merit is v

That half paragraph should have been the basis of the entire article and is a much more interesting discussion.

This article is misleading they gloss over the key point that makes it such, "Most people don’t just think the world should be run meritocratically, they think it is meritocratic." Specifically the part after the comma after merit

No one in my family is an engineer, no family friends nothing. I searched I want to make a game when I was 11, the rest is history. I stand by what I say, even more so after reading this reply.

Not OP but there are more than a few domains that can be modeled with automata, a shipping pipeline with approval steps is an example.

Right on! This is exactly correct, you remove so much friction for internal teams by building high quality apps.

I see this line of thought floated a lot. Go build a fully dynamic app used by internal teams with just those three tools and tell me how it goes after you've been maintaining and building on it for a while. Those are good building blo

I don't trust the nation to coordinate tying shoes much less fighting climate change. Our federal system is broken and our populace is generally ignorant on scientific matters relying on it to bring sweeping changes at this point in ti

I'm currently working on founding a search engine that is in direct opposition of Google's values, or potentially lack thereof, so I think that might be a hard sell for them ;) And the numbers don't really work out for founde

I see the time spent making that 300k at a fang as 40-60 hour a week opportunity cost on better work with the caveat that if you are doing work you consider personally interesting then good for you. I think ultimately we have very different

That sounds like base salary. Most compensation in SV comes in the form of stock. A senior at google makes 170kish in salary and another 130-150k in stock.

Unless you're doing interesting things at google for that 300-500k, 100k to work on OSS problems seems immeasurably better to me especially because they don't have to live in the bay area. 100k in pretty much anywhere but the east

I went from being alone for 9 weeks to not being a lone at all for the last 6 weeks at my parents. Different but more tolerable downsides. I'm doing mostly fine and still grinding away on work but wake up finding that I'm more and

The Witcher 3 was one of the most successful games in a long time, I don't really get this idea that the genre is dead.

I thought HR was fantastic and was happy with Mankind Divided, I'm disappointed we won't see the reboot finished. I'd love if it lead into a modern reboot of the original DeusEx. I think your criticisms of the RPG element, wh

We already knew this about the general family of coronaviruses, but MERS and SARS both generated longer immune responses. I imagine we're starting to look at people who had severe cases in March, and survived to see if their immune res
