I don’t mean to discount inflation, as it will likely be an increasing issue in the immediate future [1].

But it’s very clear that the issue isn’t unemployment stipends: it’s the low wages of working class jobs that are the issue. Unemployment and the pandemic seemed to just be the push for many people to realize their worth as human beings is more than $7.50/hour.

This is a surprising insight. Can anyone dispute it?
I don't see why you need context?

> A device changing would be indistinguishable from one being removed and a new one going in. Or future "rubby duckies" could emulate a hub, and add multiple devices, all operating simultaneuously.

In all of these cases, the system should show a prompt asking the user for authorization. Hopefully in a way that makes it clear if they didn't just physically attach a new keyboard, they should be extremely suspicious about what's currently connected to their USB ports.
Finding something reasonable between "we're at risk for a nuclear attack" (a black swan event) and "we're at risk for having our root credentials exfiltrated" (a daily occurrence) is not hard. I feel like these kinds of dramatizing hyperboles are nowhere near the nuts & bolts of the situation.

And honestly, why not double up your entire server fleet for a temporary build-from-scratch rehearsal? Many shops could quintuple their infrastructural costs and still sit far above being in red. Most software enterprises in the modern day don't reap economic value as a function of how well they can convert hardware resources, but human resources. Optimizing on infra costs is not a main priority for any shop I've seen. I imagine not even for an IaaS provider these days.
Yeah, the real curse is on the programmers who are going to be out of jobs much sooner than people anticipate.

All the talk about the low quality of code got me thinking: if humans aren’t reading the code, then the only thing that matters is correctness. Correctness may be an easier problem to solve than readability and refactorability.
It would be cool to compile a Python program (not runtime) to WASM. Nuitka compiles Python to a native program, but I think it still deals with a lot of runtime overhead, and I don't think an equivalent for WASM is coming soon.

Automotive industry after Covid-19
I don't know--as I get older, and see things like this, I can't help but think maybe I'm just turning into an out-of-touch old fart. Maybe norms are simply changing and the next generations are building a better world free of all these stupid taboos and hangups.

My ol' grandpa looked at my generation and just didn't understand how we were OK with things like interracial marriage, same sex relationships, drug legalization, etc. He resigned himself to the fact that he was just getting old and inflexible and the world was changing out from under him. Maybe the same thing is happening to us, now.
What concrete proof does your article have? Bezos literally has access to his phone and the text that MBS sent him, containing the exploit. You're going to take some conspiracy theory based on rumors over the analysis of the actual phone that was hacked?

The affair and all those things are probably true, but that doesn't really negate the fact that he was most likely also hacked by MBS.

Because the state wants to make their ability to use force against rule-breakers as strong as possible. Some states even make the use of body armor while committing one crime it's own separate crime.
This may be a little naive, but what if your expertise runs out before theirs? It’s not unthinkable that a candidate has more depth in a field than you do.

I remember asking a friend once if he could answer any Tolkien question, and he answered that he couldn’t answer everything, but the stuff he couldn’t answer, I didn’t know the right questions for.
It's not a manufactured phrase.

A knife is not generally a weapons.

Saddam 100% had WMD's and was capable of making more.

But he didn't have an active program, stockpiles were small and there wasn't really a huge risk of him selling to 'terrorists' etc..

The misrepresentation was really one of magnitude and capabilities and especially how the information is presented.

"He Has WMD's" is very true and legitimate (different than 'he has a knife'), but obviously the misrepresented context makes it a giant lie.

To this end, I suggest that the US would do better in their public communications if they revealed some Twitterable/TikTokable visuals and graphics which highlighted the nature of some of the incursions, so as to more strongly make their case i.e. it's easier to believe 'something material' than accusations.

My point of reference is very European.
In most of Europe you get very distinctive four seasons - cold, sometimes snowy, almost always frosty and depressing winter, fresh and optimistic spring bringing some change, muggy and sweaty, but exciting summer that you spend outdoors with your friends and 'white nights', nostalgic, colorful and beautiful smelling autumn reminding you of passage of time. And all of those are sometimes dry, sometimes muggy, often raining/snowing. To me (growing up in central-eastern Europe) it's essential to add some "rhythm" of life, otherwise I get into "day of the groundhog" workaholic mode.
I'm sure though that people who grew up in those non-seasonal climates have internalized some different ways of marking the passage of time. :)
Impartial judiciary? This is news to me.
What does nepotism have anything to do with the question I asked?
I've always loved this UI. I think of visualisations as data dimension bound to visual dimensions (eg x position, y position, z position, colour, size, group, etc). So dragging the data dimension to the corresponding visual dimension afforded by the visualization maps perfectly with my mental model. How do you think of visualisations? Do you have an example of a UI that better matches your mental model?

One really really cool option I've seen is this research project called Aprtus: http://aprt.us/ . It creates this cool two-way binding between the properties of the visual elements and your data; supports recursive rendering/composition; etc. It's a little hard to explain, but the video in their homepage is worth a watch. That's probably my most ideal visualisations UX; easy to use, whilst still making it easy to use code to make complicated visualisations.

You should definitely try.

Bare metal backups are a good place to start if you have a complicated system.

A lot of environments aren't as complicated, and you COULD just pull your hard drive out, put in a spare, and test how your backup works. At least, test it while airgapped to see if it comes up at all.
I see this claim a lot - "you can't save on rent because your landlord has to cover their costs".

But this is only true if your landlord purchased at the time you rented. I rented a $1.8M apartment for $3,000 per month (~1/3 of total ownership costs). That's because my landlord bought 20 years before when the apartment was worth $200k. His monthly costs were maybe $1,000.
Sell the house, and together with the savings you might already have you can do the FIRE thing somewhere where living is cheap.
Sports is predatory, see the NCAA monopoly. Music was well known in the last century for predatory contracts. People like Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey from the film industry are often called predators, and the casting couch is legendary. Celebrity culture is highly predatory with obsessive fans and stalker paparazzi.

You’re right, no real difference.
Why works it matter who's actually making the payment? I would've thought what matters is who is bringing them business & causing them to earn money, not who is actually paying them? It's not like customers can take their businesses to another arbitrator.

True. I ran a whole university’s DNS service on a 4MB 486dx2/66 running Linux 1.2.13.
This is an interesting topic. "Engineer" is a word that people respect. "Developer" is a meh word. You'd rather want to be Software Engineer as opposed to Software Developer even though some companies call you former and the other latter despite your responsibilities and everything being exactly the same.

Common people would respect classical engineers more because they can see that they are building something tangible. And it seems many definitions for engineers everywhere seem to exclude "software", something like "a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or structures.".

Fun story is, when I was doing medical checkup for my work the old lady saw I was marked as "software engineer", and she didn't like it and asked me for an alternative.

Corporations are just citizens cooperating in a venture. That shouldn't result in them losing rights simply because they are incorporated.

The law should be applied to relevant details of a situation, not something arbitrary like incorporation unless the issue is specific to the details of incorporation.
I think the point is that the example with irrational numbers guarantees that this mapping/sort can't be done.
> The code Copilot writes is not very good code.

This has been my experience as well. Some of the early promo material for Copilot showed someone writing a function signature with docs, and having Copilot write the entire body. This rarely works for me, except for fairly trivial functions. This is also not how I normally write code.

However, where Copilot has been rather good is offering intelligent "tab completion", where it makes a suggestion for the next line of code. In particular, it seems very good at figuring out the structure of my code and making sensible suggestions.

I suspect that if anyone ends up using Copilot for the long term, they will (as a human operator) need to learn and gain intuition about how to use Copilot's strengths and avoid its weaknesses.
Rents are only a part of inflation measurements and can easily outpace the general rate.

California's recent rent control laws caps rent increases at 10% or 5% + the yearly CPI increase (whichever is less) every year, for example, explicitly allowing rent increases to outpace the general inflation rate. Personally, the rent I pay has gone up 9% this year.

Rents can change based on whether an area becomes more or less desirable, as insurance or other costs for landlords change, as ownership of rental units consolidates, etc.--that is, for many reasons that might be only tangentially connected or even completely divorced from the reasons that the costs of other goods and services are changing.
This is a result of youtube's policies. You can't run ads because your content is unacceptable but keep uploading videos, build your following and push fans to someone they can make money.
Who's saying it isn't? Between Britney Spears' conservatorship, and the sexual abuse contract dispute between Ke$ha and Sony, (among many, many others) it's hard not to see the music industry as predatory towards pretty girls. I'm sure others familiar with sports and film can give examples from other industries.
You could also be winging it when you are inventing something or building something experimental and given the thing is not large enough to last several years. E.g. when inventing a light bulb for the first time you would be iterating on it and "winging it".
Looks like the only way to never sell out to anyone is to go live in a cave.
I'll tell you my experience as someone who went to school in India. I believe that kids there are taught to cram, and I get that you need to understand , but I believe a lot of math is also remembering stuff ( multiplication/division, trignometry, algebra). And kids just practice an insane amount of problems, that it just becomes second nature.
Fire up the throwaway!

Not 100% related to the article, but directly related.

I worked as developer for a product in the same niche ("democratizing adult content"). I spent almost 2 years working on the frontend, devops, and building out the analytics engine (all pre-covid).

Anyway, on to the comment at hand.

We had a small number of users compared to OnlyFans (when I left, there were about 20K active content creators). The average monthly payment was $5000 (skewed massively by the top 5%).

We had phone support for our larger creator. One very common request was to instantly delete all data and stop processing future orders. Usually, the requester was in a pretty agitated/distraught state (I'd occasionally get escalated calls to "confirm" that all data would be deleted ASAP and no copies would be kept).

I spoke to a few of our creators and most would be desperate to scrub all of their content form the internet because:

a) A parent/relative found out.

b) A fellow employee at their 9-5 stumbled on their account.

c) A 'fan' went nuclear and was waging all out digital war. One creator had a former subscriber sending data dumps to all their Facebook and Instagram friends (they also spammed every public email address at their 'normal' workplace, which was a local government).

We would occasionally get demanding letters requesting the removal of content from third party sites (Pornhub, Reddit, etc). The creators would somehow be surprised when they realised we couldn't remove content from other websites.

The experience was very depressing.
I do think that the bay area has pushed local artists out to more affordable cities. John Vanderslice/Tiny Telephone has done more than anyone else I can think of to keep the local music scene alive. He seems to be connected with just about every other local musician I know of.

Curious if you meant drug legalization here... or is this in reference to studies about younger generations using fewer recreational drugs than children of the 60s?
Maybe predatory was too specific, I agree it fits better when someone is on-the-hook for debt.

My thinking is just that it’s enticing people into this line of work, like a bait and switch, you thought you would be getting a steady monthly income but instead you get a few bucks a week and entitled creeps sending you death threats.

Old Discovery Channel was a national treasure. Even if they juiced the limits of science for television, it was much better/curiosity inspiring than the reality television rabble they put on today.

The producers and sponsors of discovery channel 90s-00s should be immensely proud of themselves.
Media synthesis means artists of all sorts will take a hit. Gpt means writers, programmers, journalists, and others will take a hit. Prompt engineering and larger models could mean any procedural use of knowledge in any context could be subject to automation.

Consumer level robotics, drones, and battery tech is close to a level that manual labor, delivery, and such tasks can be automated.

Maybe we should be preparing for post-scarcity. At the very least, the idea of "jobs" is going to have to transform. The 40 hour work week isn't going to make much sense in the near future.

Yes, you could prompt for every USB device detection. You would have to do that on boot too, though, which would probably give users security notice fatigue. There's basically no persistence, serial numbers, etc.

It was around 2010 before all the reinforcement learning madness :)

It was a university student competition in (mostly computer science bachelor and master students).

The core algorithm is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectiminimax which is a type of heuristic tree search over the possible board states.

Winning such a tournament meant you can write efficient C++ code (so you can search more states during the allocated turn) and you can invent/feature-engineer good heuristics that estimate how close is a board state to winning the game.

I don't remember what heuristics was used, I don't even remember the rules :)

But I've uploaded the source to github a few years ago:

https://github.com/amitport/senet-ai

The heuristics are at: https://github.com/amitport/senet-ai/blob/master/SmartUtilit...

I can't really make sense of it anymore :) but it seems to work
This seems like a gross simplification. We want factorable code because that helps with DRY. DRY code is more portable and the end product is smaller in size. Also, there's performance considerations.
I'll be surprised if there's a tool like copilot anytime soon that can identify need for memoization, for example, and implement it.

How does copilot fair in a language where correctness or at least well soundness is more transparent, for example Haskell (eg at least making sure all the types are correct, actual logic on the other hand seems harder, but maybe the declarative style helps)? I imagine in a less strict language you can generate garbage more easily.
Nice quote from Hacker News's favorite judge:

> “No doubt, DoorDash never expected that so many would actually seek arbitration,” U.S. District Judge William Alsup wrote in an order last February. “Instead, in irony upon irony, DoorDash now wishes to resort to a class-wide lawsuit, the very device it denied to the workers, to avoid its duty to arbitrate. This hypocrisy will not be blessed.”
Granted I'm a complete amateur here, but still I wonder if my approach is helpful. My home backup drives are running on Raspberry Pi, so I have control over what other software runs on them. I've been writing Python programs that run on the Pi and monitor for changes. My hypothesis is that if I do the right analysis, I will notice changes to the files unless the ransomware is capable of actually infecting the software running on the Pi itself.

I believe that I would detect unexpected binary blobs. Of course this depends on me writing the programs correctly, and a lot of other assumptions, but it might suggest a way to protect backups.

My backup "drive" is anything but passive.
Yes, and bluffing bad players generally doesn't work out as well as bluffing good players.

The AI notoriously bluffs a lot, which many bad player types accidentally counter by calling too often.

Good human players will also specifically exploit bad players, as you note, while the AI attempts instead to itself be unexploitable.

These always fail to take into account enormous legal and tax advantages of purchasing a home. First time home buyer tax credits, IRA tax credit, mortgage interest tax credit, capital gain tax exclusion rollover, one time capital gain exclusion, and on and on.
