My feeling is that only 30% of the outrage against Copilot is honest.

50% is anti-big-tech and 20% is our fear of being made redundant.

access management, and scalability: can better do simultaneous writes, and use several copies horizontally

BUT: you probably need 1k+ or 10k+ requests per second to start getting advantages

There is no way on earth there are enough remote positions for all those who want to work remote.

Yes, many new remote positions will be created, and it is a trend which will grow. But most will (have to) stay right where they are.

The question you address is much more difficult to answer, if not impossible.

I read the article with the preface: Lets suppose workimg hard is desirable. How to do this?

This is the correct reading for me

Correct.

Thats why it may be a good idea to test higher risk populations or people with health issues.

It could make the ratio of absolute true positives to false positives 10x better

As I replied to a sibling comment, I never thought about firing Bob. I think we can assign responsibilities without being mean or denegrate someone.

I am critizing myself all the time for stuff. No hurt feelings there.

I see: When I said we need to hold people accountable, you may have heard that we need to fire people. That was honestly never on my mind.

Maybe its a cultural thing. I hear a lot of firing at the US. I am from Europe.

I disagree. People implemented those systems, so if you are correct that it is the systems fault, then it is also a persons fault.

People must be held accountable to have good incentives to reduce such outtages in the future.

I do agree though that we should always be compassionate and realistic with other humans.

YC never claimed to have a perfect selection process. I wouldn’t hold them accountable for the teams they pick based on a business plan and a 10 min discussion. Its just a good guess.

If they doubled down on the team after demo day, then I am with you.

Compare this with hiring. I have heard successful people say they do get 1 in 5 hires wrong, even after a process which is 10x more thorough.

also U-net is great at this stuff, and a bit easier to implement for my taste. there are many ready implementations over the internet

Theoretically you are right. I wouldnt give Fig access.

But the world moved on without us.

Lets be honest: For 99.9% of users, no misuse ever happens which they care about.

A good Macallan Whiskey, eg 18y for 350 usd.

I dont need more than 50 ml per session. I will have one per week, which means I have 15 weeks of pleasure with that one.

i found that one weird

in my experience, there is no difference in how poor or rich people behave towards low-level staff.

in general, my feeling is the rich are more friendly, but it may be less genuine
