So in the USA today we have:

1) Both adults working long hours to move up the corporate ladder, neglecting their kids and their elderly parents in order to afford the rent etc.

2) Kids are stuck in public school as a glorified "day care center", and if they fidget or can't sit still they are diagnosed with ADHD and given amphetamines like adderal and ritalin. Boys are diagnosed with ADHD more than girls, for perhaps obvious reasons (https://theconversation.com/why-is-adhd-more-common-in-boys-...)

(However, we can improve this. Finland doesn't have nearly as much ADHD diagnoses, for instance, because the kids are able to have a lot of exercise during the day, rather than only being trained to be corporate drones https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37306818)

3) The elderly, as we can see here, are being drugged also

4) One in four middle aged women is on antidepressants (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/no...)

5) There is an opioid epidemic, primarily among men whose jobs have disappeared (https://www.brookings.edu/policy2020/votervital/how-can-poli...)

The #4 and #5 have gotten worse since 2007, as many men started making less money, but women continue to want to be with men who make more than they do. Single, childless women make more than men, and sometimes choose to have a child and raise them as a single parent. (https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704421104575463...)

We could fix a lot of this by giving people a Universal Basic Income. Then, both men and women would have the power to negotiate shorter workweeks with their employers, spend more time with their children, and take care of their parents – things that are currently not remunerated by the market (although there are some government programs that pay family members for taking care of their own parents). They might contribute to open source software, do science, learn a musical instrument, practice their religion or learn something from a massive online course.

A high enough UBI would also allow us to abolish minimum wage laws, allowing companies to give free internships legally, so teenagers and new entrants can gain skills on the job and become competitive.

Finally, it would reduce the pay gap / penalties that a woman has for choosing to have children, because both parents would be able to afford to work shorter hours.

Rather than teaching women to "lean in" and work 10 hour days like many career-oriented men, we should be teaching both sexes to "lean out" and spend more time with their family. I would argue that women had a better work-life balance than men, until recently. At least during the pandemic, many have learned that they don't have to commute long miles just to sit in a chair. That's already good for the environment and gains people a few hours every day.

One thing that surprises me about the discussion of non-hetero marriage is how often it's about the sex.

Sure, sex is an integral part of marriage but it's not the most important one, by far. It's much more about love and sharing life IMO.

I don't understand why what happens in a private bedroom between consenting adults is such a problem.
Was there ever a time people would trust a piece of paper in isolation? Let us look at the example of Solidarność (the first independent trade union that managed to survive in the Warsaw pact; 30% of society being members). Unlike Stasi, Polish equivalent didn't believe in fancy tech. When regime falling was imminent, they simply burned the documents, leaving no hope to glue shreds back together. Except the documents that proved that the leadership of Solidarność, including Lech Wałęsa (Nobel peace prize winner, first post-communist president) were actually moles on regular secret informant payroll.

Nobody doubts the veracity of those documents... But the question "do you believe they actually were moles?" is an infallible predictor of who did a person vote for in the last couple decades.
For a rough anecdote, what I've heard consistent from my network is that the current job market is wildly different depending on experience level.

From what I've heard and seen, anyone hiring a junior engineer is getting overwhelmed with applicants the moment they advertise it. Going up in experience level, the same places that are overwhelmed with junior engineers are begging for senior and principal engineers and are leaving these positions unfilled due to a lack of applicants.
For months, every day?
I hope you had a reputable doctor interpret those studies for you in person. I read on CNN.com that it can be dangerous to do online research and think for yourself. I’m not sure if I should believe it though, since a reputable medical professional didn’t read it to me in person. In fact, even reading your comment, I’m not at liberty to reply, since a reputable medical professional didn’t read it to me, and I can’t be sure just what to think without a reputable medical professional telling me, in person, what I should think.
They're equally removed from my Facebook feed, along with most other non-local politics. Life is a lot less stressful when you don't get shown the most inflammatory political arguments on the internet whenever you check your messages.

Yes. It's client-dependent for all other systems too. For example Signal's end-to-end encryption only works if both parties are using Signal.

For XMPP the difference is that there are multiple E2EE clients to choose from (see https://omemo.top/ ). And if someone chooses to use a none E2EE client, you still have the choice whether to communicate with them without E2EE, if that's acceptable to you in the specific context (not all conversations demand E2EE).
People come from all sorts of backgrounds, with different coordination and relationship with body. Classes bring clarity of practice with group. With long experience, words or pictures may be enough. Otherwise the practitioner may be confused.
> Xiaomi as of late is making way more money outside of China than in it

Easy to debunk. The 2020 annual report (the latest available financial report I can find) clearly says

> As we continue to expand our overseas business, revenue from overseas markets amounted to RMB122.4 billion in 2020, representing a year-over-year increase of 34.1% and accounting for 49.8% of our total revenue.

https://i01.appmifile.com/webfile/globalweb/company/ir/annou...

49.8% is not “way more” than 50.2%. Overseas revenue does appear to be growing faster than domestic revenue (the overall revenue grew 19.4% YoY which means domestic revenue grew by 7.7%) so at this rate it could overtake soon, but even then way more is a stretch. I also somehow doubt the low-end business in India is higher margin than their flagship business in China. Hard to imagine earning much profit when you have to compete against $50 or something Jio phones.
There are always causes behind the symptom of "psychosis". People commonly develop metabolic problems.

My "crazy" friend was doing okay, back in July [ref: my comment history]. I watched her open a bottle of sugar free electrolyte drink concentrate and drink a serving. Over the course of the next hour she got paranoid and flipped on me, "DON'T FOLLOW ME, I DON'T KNOW YOU", and disappeared.

Brains need glucose and fructose, b-vitamins, thyroid hormone, vitamin A, etc. Stressed brains use more glucose than brains at rest. Old people commonly lose their metabolisms.

I think what I observed was the fake-sugar in the sugar-free drink causing insulin release -> low blood sugar. The normal response to low blood sugar is cortisol release, but people who have a tendency to psychotic disorders can't make cortisol. It was fascinating to watch & reconstruct.

p.s. your sci-hub link is titled "Characteristics of U.S. adults taking prescription antipsychotic medications, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–2018"
Perhaps this is unfair, but this just makes you sound a bit antisocial. You're actively trying to remove all of the personality from social media, and filter it down to just professional or single-interest posts. People aren't like that; everyone has many facets to what they're interested in, who they are, and what makes them tick. Removing them from your network as soon as they post anything from your red flag list demonstrates that you're not actually interested in the "social" bit, and really you want a curated list of facts. I guess that's your choice but I suspect you'll find it very isolating eventually.

One of the most important "soft skills" I've learned as developer over the past 25 years is that ignoring people because they're interested in things I'm not interested in makes managing a team incredibly hard. You need to be able to listen even when people are talking about "boring" or irrelevant stuff, because sometimes there's something very relevant buried in there. People aren't one-dimensional and they won't always talk about things you want to hear, so if you reject them on that basis you'll miss the good stuff too. Plus, I've found a lot of the time the rest turns out to be quite interesting too if you take the time to listen.

Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness
Such interest in music was not uncommon for someone of Herschel's social standing in his time. Note that we're not listening to Herschel's Ninth.

This is like saying today "In addition to Python, he coded in Javascript and PHP, and later in C#. He wrote numerous scripts, including 24 websites and many text-processing utilities, as well as some CRM plugins for his local church."
WSL2 uses 9P (of the venerable Plan 9 pedigree, I assume because Erick Smith is a nerd!) to remote the filesystems. I don't think that's part of HyperV (though it could be a custom VSP/VSC, and that channel is ridiculously slow.)

Personally I haven't run into slowness other than Windows sucking at copying lots of small files, which is NT's fault for allowing FS filter drivers and their ridiculous locking scheme.
> I wonder what examples of things other than memes would be the effect of that bias.

Looking at a similar phenomenon in a different medium, I'd argue that both Nickelback and Adam Sandler films fall into this same category.

People everywhere love to shit on Nickelback but when they were touring they were selling out stadium after stadium after stadium, having albums go platinum, etc. They were an outright commercial success despite being panned critically and seemingly "universally hated."

Adam Sandler films get the same treatment.

My theory is: Sometimes you just want to not think deeply about a thing and turn your brain off and enjoy, and I think that applies to music, film, and memes equally. There's something inoffensive but satisfying about mediocrity in these things.
> Christian Stransky ... analysed emails sent by 37,000 of the university’s students and staff between January 1994 and July 2021.

I doubt these 37,000 people individually opted in to handing over decades worth of emails, so presumably he just ran a script against the email accounts hosted by the university itself. That doesn't seem like a very representative sample of people, and it doesn't include journalists or politicians or ProtonMail users.
From a quick skim this is pretty embarrassing for Azure. I mean one of the main supposed advantages of cloud is that you don't have to worry about patching and updating the underlying infrastructure. But now it turns out that maybe you do!

It's not widely used outside of Ben Goertzel et al, and the LessWrong/MIRI community, because these are the only groups which believe there is a significant qualitative difference between "narrow AI" and "general intelligence."

From a pragmatic perspective, DeepMind and OpenAI have demonstrated to pretty good confidence that scaling up so-called "narrow AI" techniques are sufficient to create general intelligences.

That's not to say that there isn't a useful distinction to be made between classical AGI architectures and the neural network based techniques used by most AI groups today. But it's becoming increasingly clear that the specialized AGI techniques are not not required to achieve general intelligence, so neither is it certain that the conclusions reached by analyzing AGI architectures (which has led to existential risk concerns) apply to the sorts of general intelligences actually being worked on today.

But anyway, the word AGI is unfortunately not useful for being clear, because it's not clear whether you mean general/human-level intelligence, or the specific non-neural-network based architectures that Goertzel had in mind when he coined the term.

> unless you count that his CPU was a neural net processor [btw, James Cameron or whoever saw that coming in 1991]

Neural nets had been around for almost 50 years [0] by then so it wasn't really that much of an insight as one might think.

Other than that, I definitely agree with most of your opinion here, it's just really hard to predict the timeframe for something like this. Considering the advances we've made in just the last 100 years in comparison with the previous thousands of years, it's very possible that some breakthrough in either computing science or neuroscience or a few other disciplines will trigger an explosion of new advances in this area.

At the same time it's also very possible that we'll take many hundreds of years or more until we can fully understand what intelligence and consciousness really is or how it emerges. As far as I know, the jury's still out on whether consciousness is even a requirement for intelligence or vice-versa.

What I don't fully agree is that we're at 0% on the way there. The fact that we've now been able to make computers learn by example and become much better than humans at certain activities is in itself a huge advance. Will it be the basis for a future hypothetical AGI? Maybe or maybe not, but it's an important step and lesson that we'll eventually use (or discard) towards that goal.

What do you mean with "lifelong dependency implications"?
I take such medication and whenever I stop taking it for a time period, all of the side effects of the medication completely vanish. This type of medication is not addictive, actually it's a bit unpleasant, I don't think anyone would get addicted to it. And it's not like people with ADHD are rendered completely useless if they're not on their medication. We grow up like everyone else, and take on the responsibilities of becoming an adult. Granted, maybe a bit slower than everyone else but still.. there are no such dependency implications as you claim.

So, so many people in the comments saying "good to design components in isolation".

Why would design your components in isolation? Do they never interact with each other? Appear next to each other on a page? Participate in a layout?

This is my main gripe with Storybook in particular and any design system and design system tool in general: they never consider how components work together and force into a mindset of just documenting separate components complete isolation.

> How can I stand out to recruiters

Make a resume filled with buzzwords. Do a job search, look for jobs you want. Then just jam in every single tech buzzword you find in the job postings you want. Specific technologies, industry jargon. Trendy new stuff is better, because there is always a shortage of people who have experience with new and popular technology.

> and employers

Try to find somebody who works for the company, or knows somebody who works at the company. Make a new resume tailored just to what that company is looking for. Get it in somebody's hand. Try to get someone to be your champion at that company. Go to local meet-ups, try to find people who work for employers you want to work for, chat them up. Big companies in big cities always have employees who go to local tech meet-ups.

> What can I do to improve my resume?

Find some free resume review sites/services, or pay for a reputable one. But the quality of your resume isn't nearly as important as just making it look like you are the candidate an employer is looking for. If they're looking for junior employees (that's you!) then a crap resume isn't unusual, but it needs to tell the story that you are the candidate they've been looking for.

> I've worked with many different technologies but I'm afraid because I haven't bothered to work on mastering any of them that an employer wouldn't wanna take the risk on me being able to learn their stack.

Just don't tell them that you've used many technologies, mention the ones they use. A big part of landing a job is lying or embellishing to get to the interviews. Then you have to either be totally honest in the interview and hope they don't mind your lack of experience (find out what they're looking for first) or be really good at faking experience.

Finally: SW Engineering interviews are kind of a skill all their own, so start researching how they work. Look up how companies like Amazon do interviews and start preparing for those. Smaller companies will have a much less rigorous interview and be easier to pass.

Oh - and be prepared to sit around for months with no responses. One of the biggest limitations is actually location, because companies only ever look in specific markets for candidates. If the companies in your area aren't hiring, or aren't looking for someone with your experience, you may be waiting a while for a job to open up. At some point you may need to start marking on your resume and job sites that you're open to relocation.
Every Xiaomi phone I had started with a variation of the regular Android first start wizard. I suppose this is a kind of activation. These were supposed to be unmodified, original devices.

I say this because you can also buy modified devices, for instances Chinese devices that have been reflashed with an international ROM. If it booted without a wizard, you probably had one of these devices. Xiaomi always hated this, I'm not sure why, though a benign explanation is that sometimes these devices are said to come with malware pre-installed, and that's not a good look for Xiaomi (who like all Android manufacturers wants an exclusive right to install their own malware). This is one of the reasons unlocking the bootloader is rate limited and comes with a wait time.
Hmm, bit skeptic of this. Did the studies control for regular corona viruses? From that old article last year, it says:

> “With covid detection, you are not recognizing the virus,” Suslick said. “You are recognizing the volatile byproducts of cells dying because they have been infected with the virus.”

So hopefully the dogs are trained to know the difference, or maybe they can work in conjunction with other tests? Also, if they eventually get rewarded for it, how can the dogs not associate the reward with the positive detections?

A breath test would probably the most ideal technology.
The offer you handed out was not for me but is it okay if I send you my resumé as well? I am in the same boat as OP except it’s been a month since I graduated.
I have the paperwork from my friend's 2015 mental hospitalization. The doctors both said, essentially, "patient expects us to believe that she was psychotic because she'd been drinking 2 bottles of liquor a day, and using cocaine. We know she's a chronic mental patient who needs these drugs because we got her stabilized in 2008 and 2010..."

Antipsychotics do not treat alcoholism or broken metabolisms (cocaine, genetics, etc). There are always better options.
In the same way are they equated with food shots…

That's no fair comparison, as you're comparing the cost of a worst case caused by a misconfiguration under very specific circumstances with the cost it takes to operate the service without such a worst case.

If you want to avoid any possibility to generate costs like that by accident you of course are better off with self-hosting. However even then generating such costs is certainly possible, e.g. by accidentally leaking a database with customer data through a misconfiguration.

Without assuming such worst cases AWS Lambda can be much more cost efficient than a dedicated server, depending on the use case.

There is no silver bullet. For some use cases self hosting makes sense, for other use cases using a cloud provider is the better choice.
Very, very nice. Right from the beginning:

Why coins of the same type should make a full ruble? In Soviet Russia there where coins for 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 kopeck. I never thought that a divisibility of ruble by a coin value might be a thing to consider.
