People without a theory of mind are not p-zombies. They are people who see others as p-zombies. Given that, I'm not sure how to interpret your comment as it seems to describe an invalid inference.

Some companies who do that have both salaried and overtime eligible hourly employees who are otherwise in the same type of position. Or they did at different points in time. So the meaning of saying that it is not counting hours is as cle

Places I have worked mostly require salaried employees to report hours no matter what, whether or not they're even eligible for overtime.

My first office job was hourly, and paid overtime. For a short time, there was so much work we were allowed to do as much overtime as we liked. After a while we were told no overtime without permission, and then we were all changed (ostensi

I don't think it's about the amount or the language. I have 16 GB of memory, and I don't expect it to decrease. I don't expect the number of cores and MHz to go down either. I'm just saying that everything should be

Can you elaborate on what it is that causes you to judge someone as incurious and unmotivated? The fact that I did not learn data structures & algorithms 101 well enough to pass a FAANG quiz means I would probably have self-identified

Suppose that he were publicly cackling and saying "everything is proceeding as I have foreseen...". Would you not call it BS, if he were asserting it as some sort of triumph? Because that seems to me isomorphic to what people ar

You can, anyone can, write all your programs with the mindset that you are given X amount of memory, and you use it as a cache or buffer like they did back when computers had 64K or whatever. It would solve a lot of what I see as the prob

>usually it’s because housing is expensive I'm sure you don't mean that as an endorsement of giving people bus tickets as a "solution". Can you explicitly state why that is not helpful, to educate people?

So, yeah, after all that, how do you feel about my terminology? I didn't call the scripture of any other religion a Bible, and I read your wall of text as a lukewarm endorsement but you may have been thinking the opposite.

Speculation is risky. A bird in the hand... Slight tangent: It seems like there have been a lot of mentions of SBF on HN. Alex Mashinsky strikes me as an even less sympathetic character, who made some of the all time poorest aging comments

The takeaway is not clear to me. This implies it doesn't really matter that much: ` “I doubt that he’s fraudulent,” Bishop says of Matson. “I think it’s just this factory for churning out fairly trivial papers.” ' It raises the qu

Surely the developers have implemented rules or an overlay of some type to prevent undesirable behavior, separately from the underlying engine that produces text? I would think it's unjustified anthropomorphizing to treat it as an inte
