The patent comment is mentioning on the recent changes by the current administration where reports from last year indicated that there will be a huge reduction in the number of accepted refugees of which the majority will be white south Africans. What does numbers from 2022 to 2024 have to do with that assertion?
I think they are just generalizing the narrative around the current administrations stance on immigration by using those numbers to show it’s a completely mixed bag.
I find that level of detail succinct enough to allude that the current administration is just being extremely racist and bigoted by singling out colored minorities without lifting a finger for other racial demographics. In which case, relevant.
The paper mentions that on several occasions the LLM will provide a correct answer but will either take big jumps without justifying them or will take illogical steps but end up with the right solution at the end. Did you check for that?
Ignoring for now the severance package, the salary seems pretty low for a CEO of such a large foundation. $400-500K is about the salary range of a senior-staff engineer at FAANG and their responsibility is way lower.
One of the issues with non-profits is that people expects the employees/management to be there for the cause and to be happy with lower salaries. This seems to incentives IMO one of the following:
- only already rich people to apply
- high turnover
- people with less experience or options to apply
Having a generous severance package that for example requires you to work for at least x amount of years might solve some of those pitfalls?
This spells it out. This is foundation is spending tens of million on salaries and sitting on a quarter billion in assets. That's some spectacularly inefficient spending no matter how you look at it. I would call it shameless. And then they do the yearly thing of holding out their hand for donations because boohoo all the money is gone. Again!
But at least they are transparent about enriching themselves.
A senior staff engineer at FAANG makes decisions on the implementation of features which have effects on 8+ digits of revenue. It's mostly downside risk: if you don't do it right, then the lack of availability costs a lot.
She did have an extensive experience working in different areas prior to joining Wikimedia as COO. Seems unfair to just post an excerpt of her education background and directly unqualify her.
The article mentions that according to the Port Authority rules, vendors can't charge more than 10% of the street price of the equivalent products. So no, you can't charge whatever you want just based on supply and demand.
The article is trying to understand how they determine the base price.
The article is pretty short and it mainly says that it is due gas content. The amount of gas seems to be dependent on the presence of certain gut bacteria.
According to the study, naturally about half of the population of mice produce floaters. When you collect stool samples of that half and inject it on the other half, they also start producing floaters. On the other hand, when you sterelize the gut of the floater group, they start producing feces that sink.
> That’s not what the parent comment implied. It implied any tech career required this.
No, that's not what it implied. Only if you give the least charitable interpretation, rather than the most charitable interpretation.
There are work events that are unavoidable for many people. For all people? No, of course not. There are exceptions to every generalization. But let's not pretend that work events are unimportant to careers, generally speaking.
Would you not say that networking is important, in general? The article author was specifically talking about a networking event.
My point was that these events are not necessarily about pure personal enjoyment, and finding them disagreeable in some way is not necessarily a reason to avoid them, if it's important to your career that you attend. That's not a "waste of time".
