pylua··on Social Media Messed Up Our Kids. Now It Is Making Us Ungovernable
To be fair, both parents are expected to work while wages have not kept up. Work demands more than ever from you with less upside than ever before. My point is that parents are stretched thin.
pylua··on Apple to 'pay' OpenAI for ChatGPT through distribution, not cash
In a few years there will be tens of thousand of ai vendors just like there are apps/games ?
pylua··on Intel pauses work on $25B Israel fab
Wouldn’t the us government step in if intel was bombed in Israel ?
pylua··on Viagra improves brain blood flow and could help to prevent dementia
Maybe now viagra opens up to older women, not just men ? It will double their market ?
pylua··on Japan's birth rate falls to a record low as the number of marriages also drops
Only six years to turn that around? That is a mammoth task. I’m not sure that will be possible.
pylua··on Elon Musk reportedly diverted AI chips from Tesla to X
Maybe they will announce a product that marries Twitter, solar panels, and teslas cars. Trying to sell a complete green package was Elon musks reason for bringing solar city into Tesla if I recall.
pylua··on Pre-Work for Setting OKRs
What about this scenario: two teams, rnd and delivery team. Rnd has an okr to make the projects easier to deliver. How do you objectively measure that, as one team does not completely control the result.
pylua··on Pre-Work for Setting OKRs
I think this forgets the most important thing: how to accurately measure the okr.

Okrs are primed to be gamed by people seeking to maximize their contributions even if it isn’t relevant to a real world scenario.

pylua··on Anthropic Chief of Staff: These next 3 years might be the last few that I work
Hypothetically, If a large part of workers no longer have income how would those roles be supported? Surely there would be reduced demand that would lead to those roles disappearing as a full time position.
pylua··on Aussies want employers to help with cost of living, travel to the office
These are deep insights that I appreciate.

I do feel like workers do take on risk, however. People invest their time in a company and can be arbitrarily let go. Years of domain knowledge they have invested that may not be transferable. The people laid off from the fast food franchise I mentioned are having a tough time finding new, relevant employment.

What do you think about companies like Publix and their stock buy in program ? Do you think that is feasible ?

This is a great post, thank you for posting it. Starting a business truly is great endeavor.

I mean #1. I am mostly talking about companies that pay such low wages that the government needs to subsidize with food stamps and other benefits. Or the fact that the job does not pay enough for rent. I don’t believe the monetary difference between the Walton’s and the cashier is ethical.

On the flip side I have seen employees give their life, blood, sweat and tears to a company that made the owners very wealthy. They were promptly laid off upon sale and did not benefit proportionally (or at all). This was a fast food franchise.

I guess everyone is being squeezed now.

I wish you all the best luck with your business.

pylua··on Bringing Rust to Safety-Critical Systems in Space
Just curious: do you see any issues with concurrency or anything else rust would help with, or is it domain knowledge related issues?
pylua··on Aussies want employers to help with cost of living, travel to the office
Sounds like a line from a dr Seuss book.
pylua··on Aussies want employers to help with cost of living, travel to the office
I feel like this is sort of silly. Unless I am missing something I would expect almost everyone to answer the survey in such a manner that would financially benefit them. With the exception of remote work I would imagine if a want isn’t met no one would quit.

The additional salary would just be diluted too? Proper Ownership in the company would be better.
pylua··on Aussies want employers to help with cost of living, travel to the office
The article says “are demanding” instead of wants, but I don’t see any hard examples of workers demanding anything but remote work in the article. If anything people are wanting more independence from their employer by having more money and time.
pylua··on Era3D: High-Resolution Multiview Diffusion Using Efficient Row-Wise Attention
Seems like this would be very useful for game dev. This looks amazing!
pylua··on Tesla Settles Fatal Crash Suit Ahead of California Trial
Sounds like that could be potentially true. Hopefully it has been fixed as that was an older version of the car.
pylua··on Tesla Settles Fatal Crash Suit Ahead of California Trial
I did read this article, which is what I was commenting on. “This incident” . The article was not about the previous case even though it was referenced.

I think lawyers have a different meaning for hard core. I mean, it sounds absurd to call your lawyers hard core.

Just to do what he is asking you would need a team like oj had but for each simultaneous case. He should start a law firm next.

pylua··on Tesla Settles Fatal Crash Suit Ahead of California Trial
It’s a little confusing, but this incident is not about self driving or software (unless the latching system is software) If anything it’s probably about the latching system or how vulnerable it is to catching fire.

We may never know the truth but I’m not sure what Tesla is at fault here for or why they would settle. Twice the legal limit for alcohol (alleged) by the driver is very bad for the plaintiff.

pylua··on Some Americans live in a parallel economy where everything is terrible
I think that is definitely happening. However, if minimum wage ( or even just wages ) had kept up with inflation, the jobs number would look much weaker. People are getting exploited.

As for tech, a lot of companies want everyone to be fungible for the cheapest price as you mentioned. It’s not a market where people feel safe to takes risks or innovate for someone else’s firm, considering there is no amount of loyalty that can keep you from getting laid off.

Honestly, it is starting to feel like propaganda. The quality of jobs is decreasing. If you are just starting out it is very bad.
pylua··on Microsoft Edge will start blocking screenshots on the job
I am constantly screen shotting debugger screens or error logs with our product team. It’s a very effective way to share that type of information.
pylua··on The Fall of the House of Etsy
Do people on only fans ship handmade contents to subscribers ? I thought it was a subscription website, but they may have more streams.
pylua··on Google's AI-generated search results keep citing The Onion
Worse than that is that it will diminish the desire to create.
pylua··on Google's AI-generated search results keep citing The Onion
That’s an interesting thought. Just order your fast food through Gemini, or schedule your car repair or book a hotel directly through gemini without going to a different website.

I haven’t even considered that.

pylua··on Google's AI-generated search results keep citing The Onion
It also may not be as blatant or as obvious as sponsored results are now. It could be mixed in seamlessly.
pylua··on Google's AI-generated search results keep citing The Onion
Seems like eventually, it would become the dominant predator, and deplete its food supply?
pylua··on Google's AI-generated search results keep citing The Onion
Well, I guess that is one way to “handle” it. I will be suspicious next time I have a white sauce pizza.
