I had no trouble understanding, but perhaps it could be made slightly less ambiguous, like: > But that night, there was only one helicopter, and its pilot and co-pilot worked together to navigate...

Is that really the right statistic? Seems like the relevant one would be the number of maintainers whose maintenance work is company-funded. (Ex, I'd imagine it would be quite bad if most contributions were from company-funded develope

Ironically part of the long-term problem was El Salvador's dollarization, also preventing them from printing in a crisis (that crisis being the COVID pandemic).

This seems like an inevitable outcome of indefinite growth in executive power. > If there are no consequences, the law is immaterial. That is exactly what I mean by "growth in executive power".

A contributor in this space that I always thought was under-appreciated is Amazon SWF + Flow Framework. It's an older technology and SWF itself is deprecated, but it is a weird middle ground here in that it makes language-level modific

Maybe. It needs to be the right data, and interpreted correctly. More of the wrong data isn't particularly helpful. I think what I'm arguing is that just having data isn't good enough, and it's dangerous to accept data a

It's not in any sort of format to do this kind of analysis unfortunately. I'm also missing some data b/c I throw away certain kinds of datasets that are not useful for me. I can probably write some scripts to diff my archives

I’ve been archiving data.gov for over a year now and it’s not unusual to see large fluctuations on the order of hundreds or thousands of datasets. I’ve never bothered trying to figure out what exactly is changing, maybe I should build a too

Kinda? We all have bills to pay sure, but I also don’t want to spend my time working on something that doesn’t really need me.

Differences in how people want to consume the article, and what information they’re looking for. Some want snippets, some want summaries, some want long form. We have information compression machines now. Might as well raw dump the informat

It is a statistical machine but it is not over bare words/tokens, it effectively operates over a “concept space” that it learns during training. (Granted the definition of “statistical machine” is quite vague and different folks might

Why are they poor choices? What tradeoffs are they making? I can't really evaluate/judge them without understanding that first.

I'd add the additional nuance that cognitive load is highly dependent on the brain of the subject. One person's cognitive load is another person's effortless routine--it largely depends on how often the person works with thos

This is pretty normal. Even George Washington declined to enforce the law at times. A widespread recent example of "discretion" is the lack of enforcement of federal drug laws WRT marijuana. There are 39 states flaunting federal l

Making sure employees feel valued does have a cost though. Managers spend a lot of time on this, and they have a high salary. Career growth, 1:1's, conflict resolution, comp adjustments, etc. When managers' own heads are also on

The companies that take such a zero-sum outlook will be devoured in the long run. I think that companies that view AI as empowering workers to produce more, will blow past the ones dominated by bean counters and MBAs looking to optimize the

The whole article is an opinion piece that is judging a group of people. I don't think most people would agree with your definition. And besides, the definition of "woke" is a secondary issue anyway, the article's purpos

Well b/c of the "focus on social justice" clause. I'd definitely agree though that both parties are way too "aggressively performative".

Helpfully he spends most of the article elaborating on what he means by "aggressively performative".

TFA spends the first 7-8 paragraphs defining "woke", even a dedicated callout to a concise definition: > An aggressively performative focus on social justice.
