As someone on the autism spectrum, there are AI-y tasks that I would enjoy as a job but which would to most people feel as, at best, unbearably tedious. If you view "AI programmed to enjoy doing boring computer tasks" as vaguely adjacent to an autistic person, then I would say that it's perfectly moral to create such an entity, as long as we treat it well by its own standards. I'm sure there are situations that could get me to second-guess that rule of thumb, but the golden rule feels adequate.
> If you aren't going for an actual secret (or higher) clearance

Note that despite how important it sounds, "secret" is not a very high clearance at all. It is the actual lowest classified status - there is "public trust" below that (eg for cops/etc) but that's not an actual classified standard, and FOUO/confidential/etc are not actual classification levels either, just handling guidelines.

Any time you are working on anything military-related you will probably need secret clearance at least. Anyone working with even a basic level of knowledge of military technical or operational capability, or force strength/moment/etc, will be at least Secret.

Anything that you think of as actually being deserving of "secret" most likely falls into the "top secret" category, "secret" is just the completely banal stuff, and you don't have to go far to bump into TS/SCI positions in STEM fields doing military contracting. Any sort of advanced research or development work is probably at least TS if not TS/SCI.

Actual low-level enlisted don't need to be secret (notionally you don't need to know that stuff to "go there and shoot him") but all officers are cleared secret, for example, and I would guess probably NCOs as well (so there's a cap on how high you could be in the military without it). And basically everyone in the civilian world who interacts with the military will be secret.
Apple puts web views in its platforms all the time.
I'd argue that WebAuthn may be classified as transferable?
Under the assumption one's using a FIDO security key of course - rather than the platform's built-in authenticator.

I too believe passwords will have their role in the future - although I'd love to see their roles swapped: WebAuthn as first authentication factor - passwords as the optional MFA.

Those checklists exist for a reason. Far, far more incidents and accidents are caused by ignoring them than by relying on them. These planes are sufficiently complex that pilots can't come close to holding all possible contingencies in their heads; the checklists are designed specifically to allow them to react appropriately in any foreseeable situation.

I'm not saying it's impossible that if they'd ignored the checklists and immediately made the perfect decision they could have turned back and landed the plane - just that it's far from certain, and if pilots get in the habit of doing this, it will harm more than it helps.

Typically 'q' will close Doom's popup windows (+popup/quit-window), otherwise you should be able use plain ol' Emacs 'C-x k' or Doom's '<leader> b k' (also 'b d') to kill a buffer.

If you actually want to keep the buffers, and you just want the windows out of the way, you can use winner-undo / winner-redo to cycle through past window configurations.

I was in SF yesterday for the first time in about eight years. I can't say I witnessed crimes, but I will say that the homelessness problem is much, much worse than I remember. It's hard to see any of these problems changing without it becoming cheaper to live in the city, and without more housing, I don't know how that's a possibility.

I see a lot of people talking about how people are homeless because of addiction or mental health problems, and there are certainly people who are homeless because of those reasons. That being said, homelessness seems to track much more closely with housing availability than social policies[0]. SF is such a beautiful city — it's sad to see all this abject poverty throughout it.

Sort of. You don't need identical replications of the same experiment, just long run probabilities for any application of the method. See example two here: https://normaldeviate.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/what-is-bayes...

(The author is a stats professor at CMU.)

Quoting: "The plot shows the first 50 simulations. In the first simulation I picked some distribution {F_1}. Let {\theta_1} be the median of {F_1}. I generated {n=100} observations from {F_1} and then constructed the interval. The confidence interval is the first vertical line. The true value is the dot. For the second simulation, I chose a different distribution {F_2}. Then I generated the data and constructed the interval. I did this many times, each time using a different distribution with a different true median. The blue interval shows the one time that the confidence interval did not trap the median. I did this 10,000 times (only 50 are shown). The interval covered the true value 94.33 % of the time. I wanted to show this plot because, when some texts show confidence interval simulations like this they use the same distribution for each trial. This is unnecessary and it gives the false impression that you need to repeat the same experiment in order to discuss coverage."

> The estimated damages caused by spatial disorientation cost the U.S. military an estimated $300 million every year, along with the lives of around 30 pilots.

I find it surprising that 30 pilots die every year because of this. I would think every time US loses a military plane there are some news about it on TV. But now 30 pilots dies per year only because of this? What about other causes of death? How many? US is not at war currently.

How many US pilots died during Iraq war? I seem to remember (based on TV news) it was about or close to 0.

Race64: Fastest Base64 Encoder / Decoder
Even if it's the most efficient energy improvement in history, it can still be best thing to focus on making more efficient. The best thing to target for improvement is that which has the best output from a function of highest impact and lowest effort. Making cargo ships 0.5% more efficient could still be the lowest effort, highest impact returns on energy (hypothetically, I don't actually know).

> Is it really necessary to cram like you're taking the SATs again to get a good job as a software engineer?

Frankly, yes. Just as the SATs and ACTs are IQ tests with a shitty veil on top, FAANG interviews are meant to be the same. Everyone knows interview prep has basically zero correlation to job duties in software engineering, but you have to play the game.

> the author wound up at Facebook, the most soulless company on the list.

Who cares? Searching for meaning through work is fruitless, unless you're at a company that actually really aligns with your values and what you hope to see in the world.

Huge comp packages allow people to pursue meaning in life outside of their 9-5. It pays the bills, and allows for hobbies. I'd attempt to be a MotoGP racer if I had unlimited free time, but I don't - what I DO have, is a pretty nice white collar job that pays well and is somewhat mentally stimulating. The paycheck allows me to do things I'm actually passionate about otherwise.

I've been using a similar stack (C++ and WASM) to build some simple applications and I enjoy it very much. For the UI components, text rendering and layout I use Dear ImGui [0] as I am very familiar with it and it allows me to implement GUIs very fast. The biggest convenience is that you can run the same code both as a native application and as a web app. The biggest drawback is you usually get 100% CPU usage when there is an active animation in the WebGL canvas because you need to redraw everything (similar to the OP's example).

I wouldn't say Roberts's arguments are splitting hairs, I'd say he's turning the whole thing around and saying Putin interpreted every Western action in the worst light possible, Russia decided that Ukraine was its domain, and the West and Ukraine had the right to define their own relations.

Mearsheimer's argument boils down to: Russia thinks it has the right to do what it wants in Eastern Europe, and the West caused this problem by not saying "ok."

Not sure why the down votes. You can simultaneously dispute with the Attorney General office while paying Affirm's demands, in the hopes of later getting one of the payments refunded.
0% APR over 12 months for a big ticket purchase like a mattress in an inflationary environment and a bull market can easily equal an additional 5-7% discount on 2000 dollars.

Admittedly this is not how most people are using Affirm, but it's definitely been useful to me in that way.
That’s not how the business model works (or how they’d want it to work anyway). Affirm makes money on transactions in the “correct” way via very high merchant fees.

Merchants will pay affirm a large fee for conversion benefits (e.g better a customer pay $700 even if I lose $50 to affirm fees than for them to pay $0 because they got spooked by the price). Affirm gets the fee. They suffer risks from inflation and nonpayment. Hopefully for them one is larger than the other.

> Has Apple marketed iOS as a self-hosting software development device ?

Apple has marketed iPhone as an everything device. "There's an app for that."

> But if this approach was superior, why are these same technologists fawning over Apple then ?

People feel a psychological need to justify their expensive purchases. On some axes, Apple's hardware is superior to alternatives. On pretty much all axes, Apple's software is inferior. People understandably want the best of all worlds, but in practice, they have to make compromises. If they find that they do not like the compromises they have made, they understandably will complain. Complaining about what is wrong with each device incentivizes companies to make them better, and criticizing people for complaining is not helpful.

I think many companies have a chicken-and-egg problem when it comes to cross-platform development. They already engineers for iOS/Android/Mac/Windows and there's established workflows for creating native apps for each platform, so cross-platform experiments are at an inherent disadvantage.

> You will go through multiple iterations to get your UX right.

For high-level UX flows, this is where cross-platform frameworks could have an advantage, because you can iterate without redoing the work for each platform. It might even make sense to use a web framework for the initial prototype and early user trials, and then reimplement in native for performance/details once it's finalized. As a bonus, if you're willing to maintain the web version you could use it as your browser-accessible version.
