I was offered a job coaching under-12 soccer for the top local club where parents pay thousands a year. The offer was $700 a month to run (by myself) 3 practices a week plus a game on the weekend. So less than $20 an hour, which doesn'

The government pays for roads. Why wouldn't they pay for rail if it's a more efficient path?

The more power shifts to businesses the worse society gets. "Profit motive" is extractive and full of negative externalities. If lone businesses wield more power than the entire government (or capture government) then, as individu

This should have been rejected as an idea just on its face. False positives are really problematic. And if it performs unexpectedly well (accuracy is high) then it just becomes a training tool for reinforcement learning.

Do the employees agree it's fair or are they desperate, in a survival mentality, and they take whatever they can get? It's far-fetched to think a farm worker is going to ascend to a higher income. There is no ladder when you'

How would you rank those possibilities? - OpenAI is lying. - Superintelligence is concealing itself. - Everyone is hallucinating.

So any safety concerns that would lead to slower development should be cast aside because your life is more important than future lives?

I'm jealous of older generations that were at least compensated for their hard work. We're expected to hustle all the time, for no benefit in our personal lives. Software engineering is a "high earning job", yet the basi

Why can posts not be links/URLs? Isn't that a pretty huge part of reddit posts? When submitting a post, why do I need to come up with a URL like non.io/example-i-made-up? If I leave that blank I would expect it to just assign

I kind of despise the pattern where in order to support translations you have to turn every string in your program into an abomination of bespoke markup, storing strings in variables, etc..

The idea that CEOs are these super talented individuals is ridiculous. People in high level jobs are often dipshits, and there are plenty of talented people who never get a chance to have a high paying position. People in power use their po

The standard process at tech companies for interviewing and assessing candidates is completely ludicrous. I like writing software but I've given up on the industry because of attitudes around hiring and advancement within companies. It
