To add insult to injury, I'm guessing the lawyers that help them enforce their IPs are paid better than their top engineers and artists, also because of a disparity in typical outside options. My experience with Japanese people and som

It seems Nintendo profits were 4B+ last year. It has ~7000 employees, working out to 500k+ per head in profit (not revenue). I can't readily find compensation data but given the low pay in Japan I'd be surprised if the average ann

It's a fact that it is the collective perception. Whether people actually get to chill is team dependent but from my understanding you can't really do 30 hour weeks at Facebook, Amazon or Netflix, but it's more possible at Go

The SUMMONED_DEMON one probably came from a game. Where the gendered field can be strange things for non-gendered non-human characters.

This argument is also a holdover from a time where supply chain attacks weren't considered a serious threat.

Given that breathing is a normal, natural activity, there should also be a "ground state" MRI where someone normally does nasal breathing is examined without being given any instructions to do so. I also don't see how they co

You got it the other way round. The things you listed are implementation details, the list you quoted consists of abstract concepts.

Now, it's also perfectly fine advice that if a person wants to be rewarded, they should pursue projects that move the metrics of what's normally perceived as important. But that is also trivial advice. A common chokepoint in an en

No you were perfectly clear. You just did not approach this constructively. It would have been better if you asked first about how the impact was and could have be measured. Or at least responded more directly when they tried to explain the

"Owner or not" is a false dichotomy. I get it that the author and many SREs are probably jaded from developers not taking ownership at all. The right attitude is to figure out processes that let people draw a line when to go to D

If FTX had been allowed to stay profitable and grow with external market makers, it'd be possible to fill the hole, but there wouldn't have been a hole to begin with and that ship has long sailed. Best bet for an ex-con is to boot

The way I think of it is that in a business you often need to get a certain fixed number of things right before you could even start to make money. Indeed, 95% of those things are mundane and tractable (maybe you have to be fast and careful

potential risks of AI sounds the opposite of the position of someone who would think technology can solve everything. You're shifting goalposts to protect the initial narrative.

And yet Effective Altruism in itself is not technology focused. There's no evidence that list of people (many philosophers) think tech will solve everything.

Your reaction is a bit absolutist. The basic premise is that if you're capable of making 500k a year in the developed world then going to Africa to volunteer to build houses is not as effective as just donating your money to charities

The low-value theoretical question is whether it's NP-hard. For something like SR, if the solution space were to be big enough such that potentially NP hardness would be a serious partical hurdle, it's extremely difficult to trust
264.
by dchftcs 4y ago
That SR is NP-hard seems pretty trivial to me. Especially since the problem is framed to be combinatorial in nature; with a sufficiently weird family of functions, you'll be able to find an NP-hard class of subproblems. The computation

The company needs to bite the bullet to secure a short-term contract that stipulates certain things need to be done on a (expensive) fixed-cost basis. No reason to expect any of these employees to work the same way anymore, and they might e

His anecdote clearly says that his low GPA correlated to his inability to finish the degree (by doing the courses and passing the final exams), which is a real criterion to consider by admissions, and that relates to grit.

This is great though ironically one of the less humane ways to utilize prison labor. To be entrusted with work like that you'd have to have a decent record for a criminal, for example serving for a less serious crime or have made good

by dchftcs 4y ago
Most of what you're saying is that we should select prisoners better and avoid creating more criminals as a society. The principle I agree. However this part is completely non-sequitur, as the point of contention is whether there'

Incarceration is not necessarily effective but what alternative can you propose, as a scalable form of punishment? How do you define "totally rubbish"?
