I can't be alone in thinking this recent "robots are talking all the unskilled jobs" meme is a bit overblown. It feels premature, at best.

I'm skeptical about the robotic lawyer and pharmacist use cases the article calls out. These seem like really distant applications--nothing I gather we'll see in the next decade, anyway. I have a friend going to pharmacy school, and I wouldn't think to warn her about her career choice just yet. Mistakes in these fields simply cost too much.

What other careers are at immediate risk? How big of a working population will be put out of work?

I imagine trucking and freight is the industry most immediately at risk.

Autonomous vehicles are impressive, but there are so many social problems arising from failure modes we've yet to answer. I'm imagining the first fatal accident arising from an autonomous truck--the press will jump on automation like vultures. The lawsuits will be huge. I can't imagine the court of public opinion being kind to the shipping company whose machine kills an unsuspecting family on vacation.

I realize that doesn't prevent automation from happening, but I think it could bring any rollout to an immediate halt.

And though it's getting a bit off topic, I feel like the "no more car ownership" meme is utter hyperbole. I would be willing to bet money that private car ownership will continue to be a thing for a long time. How much would an hour and a half long Uber commute cost to make every day for workers living in a city without sufficient public transit, such as Atlanta? Are people that live or travel to rural areas going to participate in ride sharing? Increasing remote work and better housing options seem like they will be more pragmatic solutions to the plague of the commute.

As much as I'd like to see increased efficiency through AI and automation, it still seems much too early to count humans out. I guess I'll eat my words when I see it.

The latest OS upgrade of the Tesla prevents the autopilot from going faster than the speed limit. I wonder what owners think about that.
Nobody said buy a raw chip and give it to a newbie. You've stuffed a straw man just to further your point.

The ESP8266 is in every ESP8266 based board. Your favorite ESP8266 based board just happens to be the D1 that comes with extra bells and whistles, such as a USB port.

The point I originally made, that apparently started your tirade, was that the ESP8266 is the common chip that provides the capability people are looking for.

They don't need to buy a D1 to get that capability, they can buy _ANY_ board with an ESP8266 inside! So long as it has an ESP8266 inside, they get the community support, IDE support, and WiFi support. If they want/need it, they can also get GPIO and directly program the ESP8266 inside, but that is _NOT_ required. You can plug any ESP8266-based board into another microcontroller and get WiFi connectivity through the serial pins.

You've found the chip - now you just find the board. How do you not understand that?

With that said, I feel this could go on forever... so... we're done.

This dismissive "quota tokens" attitude really irks me. It's one thing getting in, it's a total different ballgame surviving and coming out the other end with a decent GPA. I've seen people of all socioeconomic backgrounds fail and some from remarkable poor backgrounds do exceptionally well.

Here's a graph of current consumption of an esp8266, which I measured with a 2 ohm resistor between my power supply and an rt9013 regulator https://imgur.com/a/c30mL (At one point I de-soldered the status LEDs from the module - I can't remember if this was before or after that)

There are several spikes approaching 500mA - and you might see even higher current consumption if you're further from your wifi AP, or if you have extra components, a different voltage regulator, or different capacitors.

Many beginners only have a basic multimeter (if that) so they might have a hard time diagnosing problems caused by spikes in current consumption. So I think it's good for beginners to get at least a 500mA power supply, even though the average on state current consumption only hovers around 70mA.
The problem with a vision of robots manufacturing things for 'wizards' seems to me that it replaces the production side of our current system, but not the consumption side. If we are all made redundant, how will we buy their wares? Or, if you take the more sanguine view, why would they need to make them at all if no one would buy them? Either way, it would be a dramatically unbalanced arrangement...
Here's a video of the installation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmMtUVO5XZA

The folks that made that video are probably the biggest DIY kit sellers and a big (and controversial) force in the e-bike community. I bought my kit from them including the battery pack.

First: remove the front derailleur (you'll likely have to break the chain to do this, your chain may have a quick-link, otherwise you'll need a chain breaker tool, check YouTube for instructions), remove the shifter cable all the way up to the handlebars, remove the shifter from the handlebars. This mid-drive only has one sprocket on the front, and you retain the stock gears on the back.

Next: remove the pedals, crank arms, and cranks aka front sprockets. Then remove the bottom bracket (special tool may be needed here).

The motor slides right in the hole, you cinch it down on one side, re-attach crank arms and pedals and chain, and from there it's a matter of plugging everything in and a little cable management. Zip ties will be needed.

Here's an incredible riding video to motivate you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZrleBFAleQ
What do you like about it? I have a few, but I don't like how many redundant/unusable pins it has and how big it is.

I generally find it better to recommend one thing to new people than to inundate them with options that they can't differentiate between and that, ultimately, won't matter to them. If you don't know what you want to get, what service am I doing you by showing you many different options that are more or less the same, and which you don't know enough to choose between?
>Unions were powerful because they could limit access to labour, which was required for production. Now they are increasingly powerless.

Given how little is actually automated right now, I'm always a little skeptical that automation drove the labor union extinct. It seems like politics, corruption, and mismanagement drove American unions near-extinct. A lot of countries still have very active trade-unions that take a strong hand in production and economics (Germany and Denmark, for instance).
I've also seen people who don't understand how his stuff works, and fork projects before cloning them because they think that's the process. A relatively small number of clueless people could result in a lot of pointless forks.
You made that page? Interesting. I'd like you to explain.

I believe that the Crab Canon is in no way analogous to a Möbius strip, and the topology is in fact quite different. When you go around a Möbius strip once, you end up in the same place you were, flipped upside down.

The Crab Canon is not a Möbius strip, it's a palindrome. It is not flipped upside down, it's flipped left to right, in the direction of time. This is already illustrated in GEB, with the clefs at both ends of the page, as well as by Bach himself.

The video bamboozles its viewers with poor graphics. They can't see that the music on both "sides" of the Möbius strip is completely unrelated.

A Möbius strip does have an analogue in music: it would be a canon by inversion. Bach wrote some of those. It would take a particularly short canon by inversion to actually be represented by a Möbius strip; the gap between the entries of the parts would have to be half the length of the song.

In your notes, what role does the half twist play? Why would it not be the same without the twist?

We don't need to speculate as to the speed or proximity of the two vehicles ahead. The data the autopilot system used has it. Does Tesla own that data, or the vehicle-owner? It's collected on the vehicle, which is _owned_. I'm sure Tesla gets a copy -- do they retain the rights as well?

I would not be surprised if Tesla were subpoenaed (or otherwise requested of) for the data, in a case like this (similar to the recent Amazon Echo news, or cellular providers with geolocation in abduction cases).

That's dirt cheap for an electric bike. I don't think you get good quality parts for that price.

My human powered bike is in similar price range (should be a bit cheaper in the US) and I've had to do some maintenance on it. It has quality parts but chains and sprockets get wear and tear and needs to be compensated by small adjustments (derailleurs, chain tensioner, etc) and the occasional spare part.

I get my bike maintained at a bike shop about twice a year and regularly oil it. But I get 2000+ miles a year.

I could do it myself for less but I don't have a space to work and store tools in.
Yes, A/B testing is the best means to answer this question. What works for other people says little or nothing about whether it will work for this person, though some comments might contain nuggets of insight as to why it works for some people and not others and that might be useful. But, ultimately, trying it is the way you find out.
Industrialisation has wiped out way more jobs than AI can ever wipe out. Manual labor in farms and factories. But the economy adapted and new jobs were created.

What I find more concerning is the evolution of the degree of skills required in that new world. Not everyone is capable to do conceptual jobs, and those will increasingly be left behind (and vote Trump!).
It's a great book. Their analysis of violence as the organizing force of society was what stuck with me the most.

They also talk about how the core values people will need are trustworthiness, self-reliance, etc. That's where the title comes from. But it's anything but a self-help book.

> Can society do something to prevent mass concentration of wealth into the 0.00001% of people via the march of technology and innovation, or is this an inevitable outcome?

That's the ultimate question. Very much looking forward to finding out the answer! I'll let you know if I figure it out. ;)

I use a Surface Pro 3 for work, with students currently being given the 4.

I don't remember noticing much difference between the covers on the 3 and 4, and I find the trackpad on the 3 is bordering on unusable for anything that requires a large range of movement.

I really like the Surface as a hardware product, but the type covers are just gross.
Yes, I wouldn't mind the police just going ahead and pulling PIT maneuvers on the speeding delivery salmon in NYC... except that would require them to drive their cars on the sidewalk. Joking, mostly: the police have no problem driving their cars on the sidewalk already.

But the real fix for that is bidirectional bike lanes on as many streets as possible, even if they're single-direction for cars.

The light is even automatic on human-powered bike share bikes. This seems like an obvious oversight or lack of necessary regulation.
It won't be accident-free, more likely accident-rare. There will be the occasional accident, but because it is so rare, it will be heavily covered in the media, thus skewing people's perception of the risk. (See: plane crashes)

> Universities don't teach programming, so it's not surprising you don't get applied skills out of the box with a degree.

I disagree with this statement. Some universities teach programming, some not so much, some only need a Java 101 to graduate.

There is a huge variance. We'd need a statistical analysis accounting for the quality of education given.
I only fear for the future of humanity in the presence of AI when I see how poorly humans treat each other. We design machines in our own image to solve the problems familiar to us; a manufactured brain is the fullest extent of this process.

If we as a society develop tools to remove people from production and leave them at the mercy of the modern jungle then the machines designed to do this will follow this path as well.

If we design machines to accomidate the needs of a large global population without regards to age, race, religion, productivity, or other factors that have historically been used to separate the "us" from the "them," then the machines will continue to solve the problems we designed them for.

We could, as a species, unanimously abandon all AI tomorrow, Dune-style, and the problems and paths of history would largely be the same. The strong will do as they please and the weak will suffer as they must.

We just need to be better to each other.

They'll accurately evaluate risk, as you point out, and many people will have the option of much, much cheaper insurance by using a driverless car. Most people hate driving anyway, so that's a nice cherry on top as they transition to driverless cars.

What happens when a majority of people have moved to driverless cars, though? The population of people who want cars that are human driven won't be representative of the general population: they'll be the joy drivers and the risk takers (there's a sexy marketing campaign in there somewhere...). Those people would represent a greater risk than the contemporary human driver, so they would pull up the costs of insurance. But that just drives the marginal human-driver toward automation, leading to a risk spiral until human cars become effectively luxury items.

After some disastrous wrecks, the government comes in, rightfully blames the deaths on the small minority of adrenaline junkies who want to drive cars without the guidance and protection of Google, and bans human driven cars from public roads. The next Larry Ellison has a fleet of human-driven cars to drive on her private automobile course, but day-to-day a human driven car is seen as often as a Bugatti.

Five things I’ve learned about solar and storage
> I see a problem that I can fix...

Remember, they said "out of the blue" which means "without prior contact to discuss doing so."

This exact reason was explained in the parent post: maybe the maintainers and project owners don't see it as a problem or are already working on something.

It's not just about being a machine that can crank out fixes to the individual issues in software wherever you see them. It's about participating in a social project intended to fix a larger scale problem.

> Of course, I don't have any problem with getting my PRs closed, I'm not the one who would end up maintaining the code.

A reason alone not to send PR's "out of the blue". If you're just looking to pump and dump, I'd rather not involve you in the process, only to have to do work to fix/rm code down the road.

But I mean, above all, it's your time to waste.
I find it interesting they essentially say 'node.js is a scripting language'. I dont get that. As far as I know, Node.js is a js interpreter with extra system api bindings. How would that make Node.js the language?
You know what would be cool? If I could create a fork off the project i was using. Then I write a feature I need in that project. it becomes a PR, but then the fork is also automatically (if possible) updated whenever the main branch is updated. If it can't be updated automatically you are notified to update your fork against the upstream changes. This would have many benefits, including easy testing of PRs, forks that don't stale, and overall helping closing the loop on open PRs.
But by that time, C was already very popular.

I imagine trucking and freight is the industry most immediately at risk.

I think it's jobs that are essentially a manual version of a computer program that will disappear first - the day-to-day work of lawyers and accountants is already being eaten by code, and that trend will continue until there are very few people in those industries. I'd go so far as to suggest there won't be any accountants in 20 years time, just accounting software and the people who run it.

Automating something mechanical is far harder than automating data processing.
I liked the ribbon once they added the search box, at which point you could mostly ignore the confusing and inconsistent layout of options and just treat the thing as a giant garish version of Emacs.
My mother worked with someone well above this woman's age who went from basically the department admin (admittedly, in IT with a programming group) to what was apparently a pretty solid Lotus Notes admin, though she did a bit of job hopping in the process before ending back at the same company where she'd started.

Many administrative jobs probably offer a variety of paths that could lead to this. The person working can be someone who does the job as presented to them, or they can be the person who finds out what's needed and figures out the way to do it, learning along the way. An awful lot of programs are written because someone with the skills wants to automate something they find boring.
Thanks for sharing. In a similar situation but my boss really wanted someone in the office. Just not very open to the idea. Shame.
Paul Krugman's brief rebuttal may be relevant:

One could argue that the shared prosperity created by automation/mechanization and distributed in part by unions raised people's living standards to the degree that they no longer believed that unions were necessary to maintain their lifestyle.

As corporations sent jobs to other countries and Reagan fired the air traffic controllers, people were complacent enough to let it happen while they succumbed to their own pleasures.
That would be great but I doubt it will happen that way.
Pretty awesome, well done!!
