Yeah, that’s my anecdotal take. Montreal has had relatively cheap rent, and it’s attracted the youths. (Assuming said youths work for an English company and can get transferred, or they speak French.)
Not surprised to see Ottawa up a bit. Still pretty flat, but I have definitely known people who have moved there for the rent, or to buy.
"We commit to use any influence we obtain over AGI’s deployment to ensure it is used for the benefit of all, and to avoid enabling uses of AI or AGI that harm humanity or unduly concentrate power."
That sounds to me like they committed to avoid using any AI to concentrate power.
The whole sentence is just yada-yada anyway. All "commitments" are constrained by some undefined or impossible exception. Defining "unduly" would be even considerably easy compared to finding a definition for what could be meant by "harm humanity" or be "for the benefit of all". The last constrain is nonsense in itself actually, or does "all" except Microsoft who would not benefit if they wouldn't got an exclusive contract? Not to mention all the people who will lose their jobs as those jobs will be replaced by AI eventually… They didn't say "all equally" which would make at least some little bit sense.
Netflix is famous for paying absolute top-tier engineering salaries. Amazon is pretty middle-of-the-pack, or possibly slightly lower (hard to separate from the COL of being mostly Seattle-based).
No they're not, at least here in California. Maybe you're thinking of warehouse jobs.
Several people from my work have come over from Amazon, and we constantly interview people who either take Amazon over us (citing more $), or are trying to get away from Amazon but they end up getting a big counter offer from Amazon and staying with them.
On Blind they're famous for paying the least out of any FAANG company and having the fewest perks. I have met some talented engineers who work there though.
i guess it depends on perspective. i’ve had multiple offers from them for a swe role and it was drastically under my other offers. among fang they pay the lowest
if honestly be making less than half my current total comp if i’d accepted any of them
This is a really nice visualization. One recommendation I'd have for the author is to use a four-colour deck (usually blue and green for diamonds and clubs). This would make it much easier to see where each card lands after inserting it randomly into the deck.
Correct, but it sounds like there was no option for "strongly interested in working remote part-time".
What other option is this person supposed to pick then? Saying "not at all interested" skews the results of the survey to mean that this person is not interested in remote work whatsoever.
Imo in the absence of "strongly interested in working remote part-time" answer, picking "somewhat interested in working remote full-time" is the most rational choice.
Hi, I'm one of the authors. CraftAssist communicates with the Minecraft server via an implementation of the Minecraft protocol available at [1]. This is compiled into a pybind module which is imported by (python) agent code. You should be able to write a network client for Minetest that provides the same python interface (e.g. functions to move, place blocks, and fetch cuboids of blocks from the environment) and import this instead, while still making use of the pure python modules built on top (e.g. the semantic parser, the Tasks, and the memory system).
