Depends on the scale of the company; At the biggest ones you start to see branches of the organisation dedicated to c level services... Things like a driver awake and ready to go 24/7 (for the whole family), purchasing or even building

Even that is subject to shenanigans... above a certain level of wealth the overhead of establishing companies, tax residencies, and complex debt arrangements become a rounding error. Some of the mechanisms are loopholes, that might be close

Anyone who can still find any way to exchange their time for currency... Unless you believe that we are actually close to making humans generally obsolete.

Innovation can make specific skills obsolete; but only if the output of the process actually gets cheaper or better... It results in the output becoming available to people at a lower price point. It's not some artificial social system

If DEI operated on merit, there would be no need for the special new concept of DEI. Ive seen many cases where HR stalls hiring until the most qualified candidates move on, prefilter insufficiency "diverse" candidates from the poo

You are imagining that the opposite of DEI is discrimination, whereas most see the opposite of DEI as merit.

Only to a limited extent, the fine tuning of these models uses a much smaller more curated set to generate tone and defaults. The whole corpus is in there, but the standard style is tuned for.

I like that there are models with divergent politics; the status quo being creepy corporate left silicon valley is not healthy or pleasant to interact with. Even with grock it's only broadening things to creepy corporate right of silic

I suspect that culturally for Americans to embrace trains, you probably need segregation; a free class and a ticketed class with a bouncer.

No, it's taboo because actually trying to implement it requires invalidating individual human rights... And requires creating an authority who decides what traits should be passed on or removed. So people hear the word, and react to th

This to me is one of the most apparent failures of modern taboo infecting people's ability to communicate, or even reason. Eugenics is not ethical, for a variety of very good reasons; that does not mean that it's unscientific. We

In terms of what one person consumes, it would be rare to make full use of it. I wonder if this speed was available everywhere, would more people self-host?

Doesn't really work, men are stronger than women at the same weight... And that's at the peak of fitness; lower level competitions with juniors or not optimallyfit people exaggerate the strength difference.

Is that something other than a labelling convention? Is ground actually connected to a earth stake?

This is why I'm so sceptical about claims in Melbourne... If I look at properties I rented in the past, they are far less affordable. But that's just the few I've looked through, not statistically significant.

One of the things I like about the reporting in this Austin article, is they break down by building class. In Melbourne I've never found a good source for this, only general averages; and my suspicions are that we just build shitboxes

This is an unusually low overlap per topic; probably needs a different structure to traditional prs to get the best chance to benefit from more eyes... Higher scope planning or something like longer but intermittent partner programming. Gen

Someone giving work like that should be either junior enough that there is potential for training them, so your time investment is worth it, or managed out. Or it didn't really matter that the function was complex if the structure of w

Research is a very abstract field, not everyone with an interest also has an interest in teaching for it's own point. The motivation to take on juniors to grow your long term capabilities equation is shifting, to the point where its ha

This is something that will have to be solved through the way research is funded. At least for publicly funded work, it was always an assumption that you would need students to hit some goal; so by funding it you would get both the outcome,

My point is more that the history of those pages is a good example of how Wikipedia works for controversial topics; it's not really a process of becoming more correct as better sources are found and argued about like it is on more neut

by servo_sausage 7mo ago
I find it more surprising that the common understanding has shifted away from "wikis are crap for anything new or political". As soon as there is a plausible agenda for selecting a narrative the way Wikipedia works we should be sc

Fundamentally the union should be getting the workers a fair deal for their labour (conditions and wages); once the union starts interfering with the technical aspects or blocking labour saving investment it quickly sours the whole arrangem

History of manafacturing philosophy is a pretty interesting lens; I once had the chance to chatt with an old German colleague about the change in mentality over multiple decades. One thing he highlighted was the change from "lower erro

If you had your pick of launch systems to work on, I don't believe you would pick any of NASA's platforms since the shuttle. Their explorer robotics are interesting, something I would be proud to work on; but a pretty different ni

If there is a case for a smaller bus due to autonomy, there is a case for no bus at all. Ultimately public transport that doesn't get its own infrastructure (lanes, rails, or tunnels), is just a economic compromise to move people for c

Yeah, not compared with the extra money being spent on compute directly. $200 gets you a fair amount of extra processing power, and that's if one LIDAR is even enough, with the solid state style currently around we need several. Things

Urban operating domain combined with legacy approaches. If I was designing a robotaxi 10 years ago I would use lidar, designing consumer vehicles for near future L3 it's no longer the best use of resources. I prefer more compute and ca

This is not really true if you have multiple cameras with a known baseline, or well known motion characteristics like you get with an accelerometer+ wheel speed.

Yes, I am aware of waymo... What they do is impressive. However they don't have a product that works for all highways yet, that's the space I work in, and we have no real fixation on lidar... It's nice but not a requirement,
