Research moves forwards when people are willing to put time, money, and effort into it. Remember e-paper? Where'd that go? Patents made it hard to work on, and transmissive displays kept getting better, so we're still staring into flashlights while we're arguing about this.

One new law that explicitly redefines "fair use" to exclude "scraping half the entire internet and dumping everything you find into a training dataset", and creates a new framework for proper licensing of training data along with hefty penalties for distributing datasets without these licensing would be a huge roadblock.

A grassroots effort of pissed-off artists starting a sideline in assassinating AI researchers would have a pretty chilling effect on the field, too. This may be a little extreme. There are probably solutions that don't go this far. It sure does make a pleasant revenge fantasy though. Time to go read some accounts of how the Unabomber was caught...

What if the unions hire lawyers for negotiation, and so do the companies? Then everyone except the lawyers loses out.

Unions need to pay lobbyists so politicians don't repeal the laws they use, lawyers to review any agreements with the companies, possibly decrease the pool of revenue available to be split between workers and management(say, if doing something new gets caught up in negotiations and they lose first-mover advantage), advertising campaigns to convince people that unions are good, etc.

Depending on exact circumstances, they could be good for both companies and workers, or bad for both.

I'm also skeptical that companies are so competent that we should model them as ideal agents optimizing for profit EV. There are plenty of bankrupt incompetent companies, and while the remainder are the product of "natural selection", they only need to be fit enough to survive and not true optimizers. It's entirely possible that a company could benefit from unions, but management would be too prideful about losing control.

This is great. People should never use the number associated to their SIM card anyway as it allows telcos and others to track location and more. You can switch your real number to a VOIP provider such as voip.ms and use Linphone or other app for SMS. Use burner sims you pay for with cash such as Mint Mobile and only activate/use them away from home network when needed.

If Signal does enable creating accounts with non-identifiable user names instead of phone number, then it will be a great improvement and a protocol that can be used for activists.

I don't really see Signal as a useful tool for my uses after this change. I liked the SMS and encrypted messages in one place thing even though some friends rarely check it. For those friends I send SMS through Signal. There are certainly issues with group chats and media but nothing bad enough to consider using two apps. Now I have to look for a new tool, and figure out what to do with certain archive conversations I'd like to retain.

Isn't that the thing though? Being your kids, they already have an advantage. You are their advantage, everything you bring with you, your behavioral habits that will give them a huge head start.

I did not come from a family of engineers. For most of their lives, my parents had to struggle to survive as immigrants, living in a fairly rough area, and making ends meet.

I was lucky enough to go to university for STEM. I saw the huge difference between myself and students who came from families that had even one parent experienced in any sort of engineering (let alone both parents). Not only did they always have someone to consult, but they knew what they were getting into, they were much better prepared, and for the most part, they were building the toolset from their early teens.

It dawned on me that similarly, people coming from very wealthy families are likely to be better prepared to create or at least sustain wealth, in a way that might be completely taken for granted, but is actually the result of years and years of mentoring and picking up on behavioral hints at home.

This is the meaning of inequality. It's literally the family you're born into. Your kids will make it either way way because you have already paved much of the path and can show them the way. For schools and jobs to insist on hiring people who are not born into this circle, is a good thing.

Another thing to mention is that I am far from being a touchy politically correct person. I don't really care about minutiae such as naming your git brach this way or that. But in inclusion I feel I've seen inequality from both sides of the coin. And I definitely support letting more people into the party.
I think an easy example of that is what frustrates me the most in JS-land: everything has it's own CLI. Why? Quick start: `npm run nouveau-framework create@app 365 --with-voodoo`.

Unlike the cotton spining machine the aim of the robots is explicitly aimed to reduce the number of humans on any economic manufacturing chain, it has no resemblance to cotton-spinning specially when the space for growth has been reduced so much (unless you subscribe to the believe it is infinite), there is an obsession to believe everything has already happened before and that any concerns with tech can be dismissed by cherry picking examples of anybody complaining about any tech in the past.

Was that company of your old boss successful in the end? How many employees did it have?
I'm so old, I thought of the productivity suite from the 1980s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_(office_suite)

I still think about that suite, because it had a certain kind of elegance: Everything was frame, and therefore text documents and spreadsheets were frames, and you could embed a frame in a document, which correctly implies you could put a spreadsheet in a text document.

But the cells in a spreadsheet were frames, and therefore you could make a hierarchal spreadsheet, or put a text document in a spreadsheet's cells, and so on.

It had a "frames all the way down" philosophy that appealed to me, although the implementation was hobbled by the (to us) obvious limitations of the technology of its time.

From the wikipedia link:

The spreadsheet program was superior in its day, offering true 3D capability, where spreadsheets could form an outline which can be "opened" to reveal a separate spreadsheet, as well as other frame types — a feat of sheer convenient function never again seen and further enhanced in later versions.

Framework's built-in interpreter, the FRED (Frame Editor) computer language, was based on Lisp eval function. It can reference all frames and types across the product and can sense and perform all user interface operations.

This is what happens with a union. They voted for a floor and it came with a ceiling. Nobody experienced with unions should be at all surprised, but often folks who vote to unionize are not actually experienced with being in a union.

This is not at all to say that this is worse, it may be better at least for some people. But this is completely standard with unionization, there's nothing especially sinister here.

> nonunion employees make 83% of the salary that union employees make

This is usually mentioned as though unions cause higher salary, but it could be bias causing correlation. I did some quick googling and I didn’t find anything that clearly shows causation.

Of course assuming causation is probably the safe average move if considering joining a union, although one’s specific circumstances likely matters most in any decision.

Puma is a multi-thread, multi-process Rack HTTP server that implements a request buffer.

By comparison, Unicorn (the project upon which Pitchfork is based) is a single-thread, multi-process Rack HTTP server that does not buffer requests, so it's only designed for fast clients (or it needs to be paired with a proxy like Nginx to handle slow clients).

The narrower design of Unicorn results in a simpler, less-flexible potentially more efficient architecture.

The reforking feature that Pitchfork introduces to Unicorn was originally implemented in Puma [1], though they're controlled differently and the underlying implementations are entirely different.

People don't seem to agree with you. Google screwing up it's own messaging strategy for a decade and then whining about the consequences of their own decisions shows a lot of nerve.

> Google has been unable to field a stable, competitive messaging platform for years and has thoroughly lost the messaging war to products with a long-term strategy. At least some divisions inside the company are waking up to how damaging this is to Google as a company, and now Google's latest strategy is to... beg its competition for mercy? Google—which has launched 13 different messaging apps since iMessage launched in 2011—now says, "It's time for Apple to fix texting."

Guessing the split here is between internal and external use-cases. Maybe 7% of e.g. Amazon EC2 is ARM, because that's the percentage of orgs AWS and other cloud vendors predict are "ready" for arm. But internally? How much of Amazon S3 is ARM? How much of Cloudflare? Google Search? Netflix? I'd expect pretty high numbers in these vertically-integrated DC niches — they can literally do whatever they want to solve these problems, and one of the largest KPIs for any of these services would be performance + scalability (i.e. requests served per OpEx dollar.)

This is also true to a similar degree to how the US defines it. It's an important point, since a lot of people are arguably underemployed, but are still included in employed statistics.

Companies who try to build any type of codebase end up with a mess. Always. No exception.

There is no reason to pretend software development's natural tendency to increase entropy is exclusive to a specific type of software architecture. In fact, some developers even go to the extent of criticising software architects for existing, because they have "rules" and enforce "order" and "organization".

If anything, being mindful of a specific architecture goes already a long way to fight entropy.

Europe is a big place, but indeed I'd say in most of EU using SMS to communicate between people is a bit old school. I'd say most people have moved to WhatsApp (or equivalent).

SMS is typically used for notifications-style messaging (or spam), so the impact of this change is probably minimal for a lot of people there.
Even chat-bot/support style messaging in the B2C space are moving to WhatsApp (or equivalent).

Huh? None of these are compiled to native code ahead of time. By definition using a JIT compiler is not making things "native", it's just a way of making a very fast interpreter.

Why is the historical dataset needed?
Sure, but passkeys are meant to replace passwords, not SSO (although I won't complain if they do replace SSO).

Most services probably would not restrict you to just one model of authenticator, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see a service require that the authenticator be backed by a secure element, in which case you could use a security key, a passkey, a TPM, et cetera, but not a password manager. I'd still take that over passwords, but I don't think everyone would.

Exactly. I'm saying you can't have both low storage and full chat history. These two cannot work without a storage server. I have suggested a method of using the desktop client as the storage server but I agree that there is no great solution.

That does come with significant tradeoffs though. Now we have to trust Apple that they haven't taken our keys and that they still aren't handing over this data. It is a tricky situation.
