Well, this is what you stated previously: "there isn't any reason to believe that companies can or even <<<<want>>>> to identify the lowest performers." And yes, there is at least some evidence to be
633.
by tgma 2y ago
Perhaps you should. It's obvious that all companies at very least desire to know who is the high performer and who is not. To deny that for a trillion dollar successful company is just ridiculous.

Come on... that's so unfair. There is a reason such individuals chose to work at Google and not Apple or Amazon for example and were able to "individually" come up with such work without being pestered by their management to

Google and Facebook do not indoctrinate their managers with Amazon management policies.

I am simply suggesting your assertion is self-evidently false.

There isn't any reason to believe... There's no reason to believe the sky is blue. ...even want to identify... Short of cuts of an entire division, sounds like fairy tales. Now, they might want to claim they have or have not d

What makes you think otherwise, statistically?

Imagine the bottom 14000 managers from Amazon on the loose getting jobs elsewhere and spreading the worst parts of its culture around in other companies. Effectively unleashes a biological virus at other FAANGs and smaller companies. Good j

I am not bearish on OpenAI, but the analogy is flawed in that Google probably raised, I don't know, less than 50 million, before it was actually profitable.

My theory is lots of people who want to circumvent Iranian internet censorship rely on tunnels/VPNs hosted on Hetzner, which correlates those IPs with `Accept-Language: fa` and GPS locations collected from Android or other similar beha

That's the HTML <title>. The actual headline is more accurate: "Exclusive: Employees at top AI firms back California's AI bill"

by tgma 2y ago
The HN title is misleading and clickbait. OpenAI is not supporting. Several employees of OpenAI et al may do.

"Not very dependent" is subjective. The objective relevant take is it is a required dependency of parts of officially supported APIs of major GCP services that have large paid customers with SLAs. It can't go away anytime soo

Depends whether you consider Google Cloud internal to Google.

Pretty sure videos are recorded for YouTube. I know my own talk was. I expect them to be posted this week or next.

(disclosure: ex-grpc-team here) Indeed. I'm quite confident there's never been an RPC library with so many man-years invested in it. Last month was gRPConf and it appeared it was as staffed as ever, if not more, and Rust is being

I am curious what your issue with Supertokens was?

by tgma 2y ago
That's what happens when Googlers have power these days. They are so used to censorship being forced down their throats at Google that it seems super normal for them to do it everywhere.

But that's always been true about SE. The processor in SE has always been the top of the line at the time it was introduced, exceeding the previous year's model. To alleviate the pressure on the mainstream model lines, they introd

The reality is that small companies also have advantages in not following the law in its strictest sense than big ones in some areas mainly because no one cares about them. Ignoring that dimension, here's another possibility: it is ver

I agree with your characterization. It's probable that they will have to weaken their existing positions and pivot to the new world of copyright. Nevertheless that is a good argument. That argument wouldn't start with a dig agains

by tgma 2y ago
So you define "fairness" as always following the rules as is. That's objectively false. Many historical examples.

It’s interesting to see so many supposedly ‘hackers’ take the state of Intellectual “Property” laws that are from a different era (and are “purchased” by old incumbents too by the way) as gospel and object to strategies to deal with them fo

Insane working conditions? At least at Google I'd say you have better working conditions than the sales staff at Anthropologie. They are not mining coal over there. Laptop class is indeed spoiled.

Fuchsia is part of the problem not the solution. It was the retirement home to keep a bunch of smart people busy who didn't have any rush to ship anything real for as long as possible. Architecture astronaut porn to the max. On the oth

If you're lumping together all the big corporations you're missing my point. Sure size is a parameter but not precisely what I meant to communicate, which is more true about Google than Tesla for example.
