deelly··on Big Tech Resumed Hiring Foreign Workers Just Weeks After Layoffs
Maybe instead of killing "work visa programs" we can kill "low wages" for foreign workers?
deelly··on JPMorgan Chase and Co tracks employees to dystopian extents
> What about the employer’s side of the story though? > .... > I know checking “results” is what should be happening, but guess what? That’s actually pretty difficult and open to all kinds of debate.

If you don't know definition of "results", then how can you be sure that making people tired will somehow achieve the results? In the end do you need "results" from work or do you just want to make people maximally tired?

deelly··on A former pilot on why autonomous vehicles are so risky
Or, alternatively, we can slowly make roads safe for any AI driven cars. Use appropriate marking on the roads everywhere, clearly visible signs, clearly visible crosswalks, physically separated lanes for bicycles and vehicle similar to bicycles etc. etc. etc.

Funny thing that we will simultaneously make roads safer for all cars and pedestrians and cyclists too.

deelly··on Google Bard blocks all European Union countries
1. What about non EU countries, where Bard is blocked too?

2. "Overly-strict privacy laws". Yeah, asking users about consent is definitely overly-strict regulation.

3. There is other AI models that works just fine in EU countries.

Wait, am I answering to sarcasm?

deelly··on Please don’t upload my code on GitHub
There is a difference between open source and free.

> how do they differ from a software engineer who copies and pastes code?

They differ because author of the code did not agreed to use his code to teach LLM.

> Second, if the code is hosted anywhere else, there is no guarantee that Copilot (or another model) won't learn from that

This issue should be resolved not by author of the code, but by Copilot or any other LLM team.

> Third, for me, the crucial part of open-source code is maintenance.

Even if author is against it? This is a valid argument, but results is not very different from pirating of software.

deelly··on Change my mind: Density increases local but decreases global prices
I`m really sorry, but did you read the article?

> But Manhattan and London have the highest house prices in their respective countries, primarily because of their density and the opportunities density provides.

....

> But if becoming just as big as Manhattan or London would make Oakland more expensive, shouldn’t we assume that a little step in that direction would make it a little bit more expensive?

....

> No; I think the missing insight is that there’s some pool of geographically mobile Americans1 who are looking for new housing (or who might start looking if the right situation presented itself).

deelly··on Deming Paradox: Operationally rigorous companies aren't nice places to work
So, in simple words, when business decided that he knows better then employees how employees should work, how measure employees work, and don't want to listen to any complains, and force this view to employees?

To some degree you just defined absolutely any business on the planet.

Upd: wtf with random downvotes, I`m feeling like I`m on a reddit.

deelly··on Deming Paradox: Operationally rigorous companies aren't nice places to work
> Based on flawed thinking.

Please define "flawed".

deelly··on I hope you will never see this letter (1961)
Thank you for your time. Appreciate your honesty.
deelly··on I hope you will never see this letter (1961)
Sceptic and cynic in me thinks that this is a part of the russian whitewashing company. I want to be wrong.
deelly··on Chrome ships WebGPU
> In practice, no-one who answers a web permissions dialog truly knows if they have made the correct answer.

Counterpoint: if webpage with latest news (for example) immediately asks me to allow notification, access to webcamera and location I definitely know what is correct answer to these dialogs.

deelly··on AAD misconfiguration led to Bing.com results manipulation, account takeover
What is conscious choice for you? I really interested in your opinion, is it like few days spent with some other OS, few weeks, few months?

Few weeks doing different tasks, or few months watching video on youtube on each OS?

Few days reading technical info about how OS works on low level, or reading articles about OS philosophy and general direction?

deelly··on Stable Diffusion copyright lawsuits could be a legal earthquake for AI
Honestly, I`m not very optimistic about it.

1) same as with torrent trackers. you can download anything, but most of the times you can't legally use it.

2) yet. also harm/good point is a bit hypocritical. pirating of software is good? what about pirating of open source?

3) that`s could become issue for a model creator.

Honestly that`s quite impressive. How did you manage to ignore 1.6~1.7 billion of people?
deelly··on Mathematicians discover shape that can tile a wall and never repeat
I love the idea, maybe not in wiki colors but with some stylization. One concern thought, how can I know how many tiles of each type I will need?
deelly··on An Aperiodic Monotile Exists!
Very interesting idea! We just have to be sure that these tiles don't already exists in some crystals or materials, in biological creatures, or somewhere else.
deelly··on Google Bard waitlist
Sorry, just to be sure, its a theory, or you know it as a fact?
deelly··on Meta Layoffs
> these things based on intuition

And these people never ever mentioned using of intuition during making decisions because...

because no one believe that using intuition is actually working?

deelly··on Testing GPT 4's code-writing capabilities with some real world problems
Is it true that GPT4 failure rate is .5 of GPT3?
deelly··on We can't all use AI. Someone has to generate the training data
Of course no! Only people that can't afford ChatGPT will be out of luck.
deelly··on Jailbreak Chat: A collection of ChatGPT jailbreaks
All these talks about jailbreaks lead me to thinking: did anyone tries to give ChatGPT access to google search console and asks to do some research using google search?
deelly··on What I Learned at Stripe
So, cynic inside me thinking this is just another metric to game in office games..
deelly··on Treasure trove of mechanical animations (2015)
Can't recommend @BrickExperimentChannel channel enough. Lego submarine, lego shredder, lego poll climbing machine, lego quadcopter, etc. etc.
deelly··on HP bricking printers remotely if the client's credit card expires [video]
Serious question: why not try inkjet with refillable tanks? I use Canon Pixma for 2 years, I print A4 full color page every day, one time I printed color book and BW book with a lot of images. I spent like $ 8-12 on non-original ink and I didn't even finish these 4 200ml bottles yet.
deelly··on PayPal lays off 7% of staff
Depends on numbers I suppose. One employee - not a mistake. Twelve thousands employees - looks like a quite big mistake?
deelly··on Need help with students who've turned my class into a dating service
Same for both genders, of course! Of course?
deelly··on Blizzard manager departs in protest of employee ranking system
First time hearing about it. Some src to claims maybe?
deelly··on Ask HN: Why are toggle switches replacing checkboxes? Isn't on/off less obvious?
Sorry, but why this is so funny?
