I'm not sure if it actually is working out, or if the companies outsourcing are just absorbing the inefficiency. Every outsourcing effort I have seen at some of these massive companies has been pretty tragic, where the best that can be

There is this big hump of safety, where adding assist features causes (some portion of) average drivers to become inattentive, and decreases overall safety. Things start to improve again once the features get even more capable. IMO Tesla fs

Starburst and halo artifacts are the keywords to get an idea. The specifics are hard to estimate, since severity is fairly subjective, but it's pretty common for things like traffic lights at night to show them.

Appointing indian leadership is the single biggest sign of moving to an extraction phase for a company. The idea is they think the current value of the institution and IP is higher than their ability to innovate, so the try to outsource and

If you expect input cost for something that's mostly labour to go dramatically down, then you also fear the value of your product crashing.

My experience has been that the cheap outsourcing to India is one of the main areas AI is a real disruption. You can go straight to the artificial indian, and get a better result than an outsourced worker with AI tooling. It's one of t

It's interesting, ai seems to be enabling the middle in a positive way. On the other side, we have started to find that the value of outsourcing to very low cost regions has completely disappeared. I expect that the wages in eastern Eu

This would only decrease productivity if there was no other demands for people to do something; if this was a simultaneous saturation across everything that a company could do with their current resources.

Much of the issue with western democracies is that people assume consistently within their politicians. A pro surveillance party should also address crime. If someone sees crime as a big issue then they will be for the surveillance. Unfortu

But all the other students are doing the same, so the expectation will quickly become use of tools for potentially years. My introduction to programming was through my dad's outdated PC and an Arduino, and that put me on par with the b

The idea that a company is "siphoning out" value is fundamentally flawed. The company is creating value, and society enables it. This enablement is ongoing, and should be paid for with ongoing tax. If the actual value creator de

Often in the real world all of these things actually make a better candidate. I would have more empathy for programs that attempt to seperate things like who you know and institutional clout from a hiring process, anonymised candidates seem

Do you have any examples of dei actually making a better product? Do you consider the countless examples where a small startup grows and becomes more diverse while the product becomes shit as counterexamples?

by typewithrhythm 1y ago
The best argument against DEI is that its proponents actively oppose merit. Merit based hiring and rewards are fair, and actually build trust. The ends of the pipeline (the private companies) should never have tried to evaluate the opportun

The "anomaly" happened when we were less productive overall. What change made it possible, and why can't we go back? Western societies are naturally below replacement rate, getting back to sfh as the norm seems like the inevi

They are going down the same path of making a lower quality product available, then using deceptive averages. I have not seen anything that would create a supply of equally desirable properties (compared with detached dwellings).

by typewithrhythm 1y ago
How is this measured? I've seen similar articles for Melbourne, where the average per dwelling is reducing, but the quality of the average dwelling is reduced faster; less bedrooms, low quality noisy single aspect apartments. But if yo

The statistics are hard to come by, but at a glance the rate of successful rape convictions is similar to the rate of proven false allegation. And both are in the single digits. So how to neutrally approach this? If you ignore cases without

Seeing a minute fraction of their existence is a rubbish way to make a judgement. Most of they bring to the world is random rage, unspeakable fluids, and unpleasant interactions. But I guess driving past safari style is fine.

We get a significant range of new Chinese cars in Australia, and generally they are fine; in the low end of the market they are about the best quality for the money, in the middle they show issues where they can't deliver a overall pol

Can cameras do it eventually is a bit of a tangent. All the information is there in a video feed, but the amount of work to get reliable perception from it is not small. With LIDAR and radar you get to the end goal with less uncertainty.

You are missing the point, if you go and find reliable reviews for each price point, a good product in the 1000 bracket will be better. The point is that if you go to a store or Amazon, you can find crap products at any price point, so much

I don't think it's the price giving information there though. I can find many projectors being sold in the 1000 range that do not compare to the best in the 100 range. Yes I agree that there are better products for more money, it&

One big problem from the hiring side is the time to evaluate someone once complex tools are involved.

There is a disgusting degree of callousness with this comment. It's not a "colonial nation" that is being harmed by migration, it's working class people. Meanwhile the same classes that benefited from colonialism now ben

Migration is a policy issue, not some natural force like osmosis. It's entirely irrelevant why migrants want to come, when you have an existing population that is being harmed by migration policy. It's simply that the wealthy ben

Because you are using "small business" as an abstract term, where in reality it's often a stand in for one or two people. Those people are now providing a service to anonymous tourists, rather than being part of a community.

Absolutely absurd. Why is it people feel the need to make out that western cities are somehow magically immune from the exact same detrimental effects that they happily accept about everywhere else? "Enrichment" is a buzzword for
