This libertarian worldview is only coherent for goods like food or computers, where the quality and safety of supply is regulated but the quantity of supply isn't.

Property is a whole other ball game. In every market economy you see tremendous capture of government by landlords. They rig the game by constraining supply. The free choice worldview breaks down given that shelter is a necessity, and the only place I can get it from is this cartel that has 2x-ed the price of the good via their capture of government. That delta in price is theft facilitated by government force, masquerading as a free transaction between consenting parties.

Libertarians are supposed to be against regulatory capture and crony capitalism, and the property market is like a textbook example of this kind of depraved capture of government by special interests.

Are there rules/standards for how these top secret keys are stored? HDCP, Mediavine, keys to the Internet, etc. Sure, you could keep it locked in a Scrooge McDuck security vault, but you need to be able to burn the key into hardware/software, meaning it ultimately needs to be distributed across many machines, greatly increasing the number of people with potential access.

This is kind of depressing. I'm in computer engineering but I have a few friends in electrical engineering. I could really see that their workload is so much heavier and much more relevant to society than ours but the pay gap is just ridiculous.

Coming from Germany, I was shocked at the property prices in the UK. Living here for a short while, it seems to me that cost of living at a certain standard is higher than or at least similar to many parts of the US, while salaries are closer to European levels, maybe 1.2x-1.5x in London. Commuting from a smaller city close by, e.g. Reading<-> London comes out to >£5k/year for public transport, and getting there by car takes ages because the city is not designed to handle large amounts of traffic(IMO)
Yeah I'm not agreeing with it, just think that's what he was thinking of.
While you can understand inflation that way, that strikes me as trying to figure out the forest by studying a single tree. Better to look up the treatment of it as the interaction of money supply and money velocity. I'm not saying this is a complete picture either, it's only the beginning of the process, but it's probably a better starting point than trying to start at something so micro and trying to work your way up to macro. Such a path is theoretically possible but long and filled with peril.

Great insight here that a lot of performance drift is down to data and engineering, not "natural" non-stationarity. The corollary is that one of the hidden strengths of ML systems is the ability to adapt to imperfect inputs, and even changing inputs with retraining.

Re: monitoring -- When I was doing automated trading, we of course had automated alerts to stop systems that were outside expected parameters. However, as OP describes, there was also a long tail of degradations where there was no great precision/recall tradeoff on flagging "real" issues. Instead, we put effort into "calibration reports" that visually surfaced as much information about training and performance as our eyes could handle. These would include things like over time plots and PCA plots for recent feature histories, where it was more an opportunity to spot patterns than an explicit metric. Reviewing these for 15m each day with our own eyes was much more effective at detecting a long tail of unanticipated degradations than we would have been at anticipating and coding for each one explicitly -- and it help build intuition that fueled new research ideas.

As a frontend developer I've found the best designers have some development experience and likewise a good UI developer should have some basic understanding of UI design.

As a quick example at one place I was working a designer came up with this beautiful new site menu which I was asked to implement. Lots of animations. Items would slowly disappear depending on the space available. Things would resize and move around the menu necessary to look right. From a design perspective it worked great, but as a developer I knew it was going to be a nightmare. I knew even if I could build it as intended it would be overly complex, prone to bugs and difficult to maintain. A good design (and designer) is one that considers the limitations (and possibilities) of the technology and designs with those in mind.

Similarly I've seen great designers who understand the technological constraints well have their designs ruined by developers who implement them without care. For example, making sure things line up correctly or that padding and margins are correct and consistent are things that I see bad frontend developers miss a lot.

In my experience the best way to work is by sitting the developer and designer next to each other. It's less about tooling and more about communication. Ideally a designer should be asking questions about how easy something will be to implement as they're working on the designs, and a developer should be asking questions and showing their progress as they implement. This way you avoid situations where designers are building things that are overly complicated to implement and developers can implement the designs as intended while being able to flag up any challenges that might arise during implementation.

The absolute worse way to work is to ask a designer with little understanding of the system to design something. Then once they're done send that design to a developer who has no direct line of contact with the designer to build it. I've seen this done before and every time it results in bad designs and bad implementations - regardless of the ability of the individuals involved.

In my personal experience there's zero tension between myself and designers. The tension for me is when I'm not able to work as closely with a designer as I'd like to because I know I'm going to produce substandard work which I don't really want to put my name to.

What makes leftist parties unviable is the majority of the population disapproving of socialism.

People online vastly overestimate the actual effect of money on political results, naturally disregarding all the donations made to candidates that lose and ignoring races where the lesser funded candidates win.

If Americans wanted a leftist government, they’d vote for it, simple as that. And yet even in the most left leaning states and cities in the nation , leftist principles have failed to gain much electoral ground.

Agree, though your response doesn’t address if an attacker had the signing key; appears that an attacker with the microcode encryption key, knowledge of how microcode works, how it’s updated, the signing key, and how to generate a valid signed update — they would be able to deploy an exploit to the CPU; obviously this excludes the existing issues with Intel ME.
I would claim the opposite — VSCode is nearly unusable without very heavy customization unless you're fine with being very inefficient. Hotkeys for many common operations are not assigned out of the box. Without that, using it involves driving the interface with both the mouse and the keyboard. Those that are assigned are awkward and look like they've been designed for a spider since they require you to reach keys on the opposite sides of the keyboard. I always get the feeling that its own authors don't use it for anything more complicated than editing /etc/hosts, although it's quite obviously not true.

I mostly agree, it seems mostly a dead-end mindset. (Then again, I've decided for my career that it's best to work for someone who runs a business, instead of running a business myself.)

But, I was thinking a bit more about my statement last night; and I realized there are two directions to take: Build enough assets that, when the business fails, you can sell something off to whoever comes along with another wad of cash; or once you push everyone out and it's clear you don't have a sustainable business, rebrand so that everyone thinks you're a newcomer.

I personally wouldn't do it, but I'm too much of a nice guy to run a business.

> It's totally possible that you are paying appropriately

Doubtful. If anyone is having a hell of a time finding electrical engineers or embedded developers, then by definition that means the field isn't lucrative enough for people to stay in it. That's exactly the case I've seen repeated in every post in this thread.
The same thing doesn't go for many US based companies.

What US law requires US companies above a certain minimal (~50 employees) size to "hire" government employees to supervise their operations at the innermost layers?

What US law makes all US corporate intellectual property and information legally owned by the government?

Google barely even complies with subpoenas.
Yes, zero sum means a gain for one is a loss for another. But you’re not gaining or losing when you buy something. The seller isn’t gaining or losing either. You’re both trading like for like.

Again, zero sum does not imply like for like trades are impossible.
You can still enjoy it.
> I believe the Keynesian approach to fix high inflation is to just raise tax rates to get money out of the economy. But this tends to lead to recessionary behavior within the economy.

Build some infrastructure with these taxes. In this case, also massive investments towards improving productivity. That’ll put the money to good use and at least prime the pump for recovery, and private businesses do not seem willing or capable of doing that.
I prefer to see how "deep" a product will let me go (without hitting a regwall) before reading about it. After I've tested out the gatekeeping, I go back to the homepage to learn more about the product.

But my personal use case aside -- if people want to see the homepage again for any reason, like contacting you, or linking to a friend -- you are blocking that ability.
They already had limits on simultaneous streams.

I think they are limiting the number of TVs that can use the app, and then they will continue the quality downgrades on the non-TV platforms.

We already do this. You have the right to bear arms - just not nuclear ones.

Ad-hoc drones being able to take off, fly and land anywhere? Sure, at least in theory. In practice, even Amazon and various well-funded, profit-driven players couldn’t make it work (drone delivery was very hyped up ~5 years ago) so I have no expectation that an incompetent government will achieve anything other than getting fleeced by consultancies.

In addition, the Amazon/DoorDash model isn’t even what we’re talking about here - this is a predefined, specific route with the last mile still handled by conventional vehicles, so it is even worse.
That law feels very abusable. How do you prove an opinion to be honest/dishonest? That I expressed a different opinion at other times doesn't mean anything, because opinions change all the time. If my opinion is that your company sucks, I may also want to cause damage, so my motives for posting a negative review can't be used to show the option is dishonest. What metric would a court use to decide?

This is probably a major reason he’s being hired.

I haven’t experienced too much of this phenomenon but “famous” OSS folks get coddled and showered with money by many companies in hopes of attracting talent.

And to be fair, its not the worst strategy. Instead of some silly values document they pay real engineers and usually give them a ton of freedom.

There's only one page of executable memory left in the whole process. It doesn't contain any syscall instructions, and it's a shared mapping of a read-only file. That means the debugger can't point the instruction pointer at any existing syscall instructions, and it also can't create any new ones.
I'd say most software on personal computers prior to the late 1980s was written in assembly. Compilers at the time were terrible at optimization and you could really tell the difference as a user between a compiled program and one written in hand-crafted assembly.

I come from an engg school in India where after 12th, the cream of the crowd joined EE. 80% of these kids were hired by software firms right after college. Other went on to do masters in CS or MBA.

The support center at IBM Boca Raton will always be my favorite job ever. I loved that place with all my heart and the people that worked there. OS/2 was the reason I got that job when I called to report an issue with OS/2 running Renegade BBS and the Ray Gwinn FOSSIL driver. God I loved that operating system and still do. It really sucks that it didn't make it. If there is one thing I miss most of all about it was the community around it. People generally connected to help each other unlike what I have seen today in all of the tech communities. The hardest parts about getting older is seeing the "golden ages" of things past.
That's a very big 'if', yet no matter how small or big that potential/risk is, I'm still expected to pay the same amount for his potatoes just in case something goes wrong? And even then, many landlords will try and blame you and take it out of your deposite!
You have the benefit of suburbia, where you can let your kids bike around like in Stranger Things and maybe even have joint backyards. In other places houses are conspicuous and unsafe, whereas sets of apartment buildings can afford joint facilities like swimming pools, treadmills and lifting equipment, not to mention safe space for kids to run around. This isn't necessarily better than your situation; it's just that suburbia has been heavily subsidized in the US and not so much elsewhere.

Maybe i could have phrased it differently, i'll try my best to explain it. Keep in mind that this is open research, it can change quickly with breakthroughs. What you mean is strictly "following" logic, by executing code or combining axioms like in prolog. What I want to get at is maybe better described as "reasoning". Learning by thinking about stuff and combining knowledge, not by example. Our current models can't do this at all, this was all the rage of old-school, logic based AI (but this also didn't work at all, hence the AI-winter). Just think about the difference between learning to play tennis (repetition and exercise, learning from errors without much reasoning) and my IKEA furniture example, for which you are expected to assemble it on your first try without guidance or repetition. It turns out that we can solve, through repetition and exercise, a lot of problems that were previously thought have a lot to do with reasoning, like dalle-2 or gpt-3, this involves huge amounts of data and long training times. Is it all solvable by repetition and exercise? I doesn't look like it. The learning process is so fundamentally different that we have no idea how to build systems that learn by explanation and have the ability to "think hard about a problem". Some researchers are convinced it can be done, but we currently can't do this at all and there's not really an indication that it is possible using our current approaches.

My personal opinion is that we now have a hammer and everything looks like a nail. I don't think everything is a nail, but surprisingly many problems are, if you phrase the problem correctly. In practice this means that if we can gather enough training data then a lot of problems suddenly become solvable, but this is not possible for all problems. If we can not gather enough training data, then we have have a problem we just can not solve and there's no indication that it is solvable with current tools. It would have to "reason" and "think hard" about the problem, we can't do that. All those fancy things work by ever increasing datasets. This is currently a hard limit and I can perfectly imagine that we have just solved one of the ingredients for better AI. And just like rolling a dice, if you have rolled two 6s in a row the probability for another 6 is still 1/6. If we need another breakthrough this can take years or decades and just because we've made one in 2012 this doesn't mean the next will happen in 2022.
It's not "being hit twice", though. Inflation is a change, so if you're already paying for a and b, and both a and b go up 10% then a + b goes 10%, not 20%.
The only thing I really liked about XML was schemas (XSD I think?).

The ability to design a schema that could be passed around to let people validate the data and structure of an XML file before sending it was really slick. The schema designer tools were easy to use.

I actually enjoyed using WSDL based web services specifically because of this. You could take the file, which was just a schema and generate all the code and data structures you needed to interface with the API from any language…and you got the ability to validate your data client side before even bothering to send it.

It definitely had some pain points, but overall these were the good points that I remember.

GraphQL is probably the closest next evolution.

It is possible because the people in the bottom deciles can experience increases in pay, while people in upper deciles experience decreases in pay (in real terms). A wealth transfer from richer to poorer.

I view it as a good thing. Even in the US, I see stores/restaurants closing earlier, closed on Sundays, and job advertisements on the side of buildings advertising pay rates. That means the people at the bottom are finally gaining negotiating power.

There really is a lot of cherry picking, etc. going on in this area. Papers released without code and weights or even data make reproduction and validation nearly impossible.
Yes! Let's magic 30 million new AC units into existence and pump another 105GW of power onto the grid!

> Yes western governments are totally full of shit too, the proof of this is that Julian Assange is still being crucified for leaking information, for being a whistle blower.

That’s just not true. Many leakers and whistle blowers aren’t prosecuted every year.

Julian Assange is a pretty transparent Russian asset and has been for a number of years. There’s a reason he never leaks anything that is negative of Putin. Meanwhile if it’s anti-American he leaks it in full without taking any standard journalist precautions.

Of course he can pull the “I’m just a journalist bro” card, but the act is over and his time is up.
