I kinda love how these generally give off a early 2000s Flash site vibe (in a good way, Flash, dear flash, how I miss the aesthetic, creative freedom, lightheartedness that you brought to the interwebbes)
Where is the license info in the repository? Can you tell us what license this is released under?
"Web3 is more of a vibe" is always the answer one eventually arrives at when asking proper questions about web3. Also a lot of goals that rely on artificially created problems to gain the ability of presenting solutions to those problems, as mentioned in the article.
Yes. After a short episode of amnesia, they continue to create jobs which create the labour.
The legal minimum compensation in the Netherlands for 'termination due to worsening financial conditions of the company' is given by:

Compensation = (years worked at company/3)*monthly salary.

This comes on top of the minimum notice period, which is given by:

notice period (in months) = floor(years_worked/5) + 1

In many cases, employers and employees agree that the employee will not work after having received notice, but are asked to be available to help answer questions their replacements might have during this period. The employee still receives their salary during this time (even if they find new employment), so effectively this notice period can be added to their compensation.

So for many employees in the Netherlands, the minimum legal compensation is better than what these employees will receive. In practice their compensation is often better than the minimum legal compensation.
A lot of my early x86 assembly language programming was done in debug.exe before I could afford MASM.

One command that is burned into my memory was invoking the low-level formatting routine on a hard drive:

Go to your favorite image search engine and try to replicate anything AI has generated. It's impossible. The results you get from image search are nowhere near as specific as what the AI produces. It's not even close. The only time image search can compete is when you are highly specific, e.g. "painting of the Mono Lisa", both AI and image search will produce very similar results. But for a generic prompt, image search will come up with nothing that gets even close to the query, while AI can produce a highly specific image.

DreamBooth really should have destroyed all doubt about this point point, as the AI can generated highly specific images of subjects that aren't even in the original training set.
I think you also need to measure the distance between your eyes. The only not supper easy part.
High school drop out rates were 27.2% in 1960. This is one third of students not even finishing high school. Meanwhile college enrolment rates were miniscule compared to today. Yet also, getting into top university requires way more effort then it used to in 1950-1960.

> standardized measures such as the GRE show declining levels of ability over the decades. A given score today doesn't mean the same as 40 years ago, because the test has needed to be recalibrated for a lower average performance.

Are they incomparable or they show regress?

The data dont show consistend decline in years where it did not changes, but there are massive drops in scores when the test was recalibrated. It also shows multiple whole new topics being tested against 1960:

Well yes, but actually no
Depends on the intention I guess. They might have been genuinely worried that the token was going to crash and also didn't trust the counterparty to be able to pay for it. In this case it would have been a genuinely legitimate transaction.

But if dumping the whole stock was done with the intention, even partial, to crash the price, then it seems to me that it would be manipulation. Of course crypto is unregulated, so it wouldn't be illegal.

The way people talk about bias in diffusion models is bizzare. Do they think that diffusion models are going to somehow cause damage because they don't generate diverse members of professions? Are they worried some kid out there is going to think "I wanted to be a financial analyst, but not anymore because stable diffusion doesn't want to generate financial analysts with my race"
First, part of my confusion was that the installer effectively asks your OTP path but I think it used to actually install OTP? So I didn't read the dialog carefully and didn't realized it changed, my bad :)

But, after installing Elixir and pointing it to the otp 25.0.4 folder.

> elixir -v

> Cannot find file at 'c:\program files\erl-24.0\erts-12.0\bin\erl.exe' c:\program files\erl-24.0\erts-12.0\bin\erl.exe). This usually indicates a missing or moved file.

I install erl-24.0

> elixir -v

> Could not load module C:\Program Files\erl-24.2.2\erts-12.2.1\bin\erlexec.dll.

I install erl-24.2.2

> elixir -v

> {"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{elixir,start_cli,[],[]},{init,start_em,1,[{file,"init.erl"},{line,1191}]},{init,do_boot,3,[{file,"init.erl"},{line,889}]}]}} init terminating in do_boot ({undef,[{elixir,start_cli,[],[]},{init,start_em,1,[{_},{_}]},{init,do_boot,3,[{_},{_}]}]})

All the while erl-25.0.4 doesn't seem used (while being in the PATH env), I guess that's the problem but how do you enforce the OTP version?

----

edit:

So I kinda made it work. First I noticed that I had erl-24.0 installed by Chocolatey (which I don't remember using ahah) so I uninstalled that.

To make it clear, I'm on Windows 7 so the problems may come from that, but maybe it will help somebody else.

But then the elixir-websetup.exe (2.2) would not actually complete any longer (while doing so when erl-24 was installed by Chocolatey?), it could not find the actual elixir downloaded installer in C:\<Me>\etc (not the valid user path in Windows 7 but maybe in 10+ ?)

I then used elixir-websetup.exe 2.1 and got almost the same error but this time it complained about "elixir-v1.14.1 (Erlang/OTP 25)-setup.exe" while it actually downloaded "elixir-v1.14.1-setup.exe", which I was able to launch myself and finish the setup.

And voilà, Elixir 1.14.1 ;)

Budibase is a LowCode Tool that allows you to connect to a database. It's used to create web applications and is optimized for internal business tools in a similar manner to Tooljet.

Other alternatives include Retool, Clutch.io, and AppSmith.
Cartoony generation is probably a matter of training on the appropriate source material, for what it’s worth.

https://dreambooth.github.io shows a glimpse of the future. You’ll be able to upload a few drawings that you want to emulate (e.g. Mickey Mouse), and then you can give it a specific prompt (e.g. Mickey Mouse doing a handstand).

You’re probably right about the consistency of 3D concepts, though. On the other hand, I was going to say “If you need a specific table, AI might not be able to help” — but again, dreambooth shows that we might be able to upload a few photos of a certain table, and it’ll take care of the details.

Give it a few years. :)

I think you’re spot on that AI will be an incredible tool for artisans. I used it to make some video game music: https://soundcloud.com/theshawwn/sets/ai-generated-videogame... Even though I can’t play any instruments too well, I was able to craft each piece uniquely. (My favorite is “Crossing the Channel”, which has a strange rhythm because I’m pretty sure the AI made a mistake at the beginning, and then extrapolated the next “actually, this isn’t a mistake” song that it thought of, which turned out to sound cool. A bit like a guitarist doing improv.)
I haven't checked, but they probably try to retain buffers as long as possible in order to reduce reads and writes.
Regarding point 1, are.na effectively does this for bookmarking, by showing you the categories that others have stored the same bookmark to (so really showing you what they thought was related, according to whatever relationship they were interested in) which I think is a much more reliable/same way to approach the problem — its much more precise, as the other user was literally on the same page as you at some point, rather than whatever tangential topical relationship identified by keyword matching. And it’s more broad, as the relationships you can find are not simply the literal topic itself (e.g. hexing the technical interview might be stored by one user alongside programming taos, and by another with closure hackery, and another with programmers-as-wizards).
Programming doesn't exist in a vacuum. Or better, there are some projects that only require programming skills, but many other require also skills in different areas. E.g. to write an automatic controller you need to know control theory and systems theory, to write a videogame's physics engine you need to know physics and so on. If one is an excellent programmer, but doesn't have at least some knowledge of the field where he's going to apply programming to, he's not going far. Conversely, a person that has a firm understanding of at least the basics of that field can do meaningful work without being a programming super star. So I would say, try to find some more specific field to apply programming to. Don't be a generic programmer but someone that is good at programming something specific.
Just for clarification, because zoltan isn't making very compelling arguments.

Docker made containers easy and effective. Solaris zones were not as good as Docker is, BSD jails are/were not as good or easy to use as Docker is. Popularity has nothing to do with it, except that the popularity is an indication of the fact that Docker was revolutionary in the way it made these technologies accessible to a very large professional audience.

Docker was not created in isolation, it was inspired by jails and zones and all the fancy new features that were added to the linux kernel at the time.

Using just the words FROM, ADD and CMD, you can make a container definition that effectively isolates a runtime for just about any application in a 3 lines. Beyond the couple simple keywords all you need to have is absolutely basic linux knowledge, the level you can teach any developer in an afternoon.

There's no need to pollute that developers mind with any other system administration garbage. Nothing about networking, policies, filesystems, whatever. Just basic bash and a couple keywords.

Then when you want to go to production, you just hand the shit your developers wrote over to a professional system administrator and they'll make it run perfect at any scale. It's magic. Before Docker the world was darkness and bullshit, and after Docker the world was drenched in light and all that is good.

The fact that it's 2022 and there's still people that are going "hur-dur Solaris zones, BSD jails amiright" as if any of those technologies have any relevance is ridiculous.

Docker is technologically excellent.
What web3 is missing is social manual labour.

What made the early web magic was the manual labour you had to put into the social dynamics of the spaces you created.

Algorithms and blockchains may help to facilitate the creation of new spaces but they won't solve the social dynamics that create real human connections, virtual or otherwise.
When I was a kid I managed to lose the contents of my hard drive because I overwrote the FAT when playing with DEBUG to understand how it worked.

Oh well, I guess that day I learned something after all.

I have been thinking a lot about low effort content. Because low effort is quick, dirty and might be akin to junk food. Will people gobble it up or go meh after the initial honeymoon period?
Indeed. “Lifestyle inflation” is never a good thing.
There was an article on BBC news the other day about people investing in property in the metaverse. It blew my mind because it's not a finite space like the real world... the idea that people are spending thousands speculating on virtual real estate in an unproven environment that has almost zero uptake is mind blowing.
It's super weird not to provide a GSI, it's pretty easy to do, and would allow you to reach hundreds of phone models with just one build.

Are you pursuing this way but are hitting issues with it?
It's absolutely not.

I think a big part of the myth comes from barely-legal techbros repeating what they heard, and maybe high-fiving each other. I half-jokingly blame PG for seeding this idea into early dotcom startups that took over tech, but I suppose it would've happened anyway (consider stereotypical teenagers thinking adults are dumb).

One thing that does happen is that, as you learn more, you're not as easily impressed with yourself.

Another thing that does happen is that a lot of people put their time and energy into other things. This is a long discussion, and I can hear the objections, but addressing them pre-emptively was getting too lengthy.

Another thing that happens is we forget how hard it was to learn some things that now seem easy. Besides the implications for collaborating with or teaching people who haven't yet learned particular difficult things, we need to remember it for ourselves, when we have to learn something new (and leveraging things already known isn't enough). Discouragement is a big deal at any age.

Health can slow down an individual in general. And that's important for 20yos to understand for themselves, not for generalized prejudice against others. Good nutrition, good sleep, exercise, try to avoid serious injuries (and when injured, make sure you're getting good medical advice on recovering properly), don't be shotgunning "energy drinks" and coffee or worse, don't think you're managing bad stress just by getting through it (nope, you're doing possibly permanent damage), mental health, good relationships, establishing financial security (too bad we don't just have this by default in a wealthy country, but until we do, financial security leads to better health, and can also solve problems that come up).

If you want to get into software, it just takes time and effort. You can start very vocation-oriented (e.g., do nothing but learn and practice React), or you can be guided more by curiosity and getting a broader diversity of experience over a longer period, and see what you end up diving into deeper. Or both.
I have been going through Brilliant's Chemistry courses[1] and was happy to find that in the article the author mentions the way to make a mirror. When i first got to know it in the Brilliant course I was amazed it required sugar!

I fantasize of going back in time and bootstrapping my arrival with useful future knowledge like this. I can't imagine the fortune I would make selling mirrors in the time of the Romans :D

Anyway, I really would like the author to provide a kit for the experiments mentioned.

Most developers in SV bounce around companies every 2-4 years, so using your Netherlands formula, they'd only get Compensation = 1.3 months of salary, Notice = 1 month.

Do you happen to have any screenshots of what you mean? I’m really curious to see dreambooth’s capabilities in the field, and it sounds like you’ve had experience with some of its pitfalls.
Indeed. I like this article/transcript, because it has a lot of criticism about the horrible state this whole "web3" thing is, while remaining cautiously optimistic about its future.
Hey Tim! I knew someone would be able to go nerdier than me, thanks for the video!
Mostly yes, but not in this case. It's also not a hard law, but more of a rule of thumb.

How do you stay on top of all the third-party API integrations?
Do you have any special process to keep track of (changes in) third-party APIs you integrate with i.e. functionality you integrated, versioning, metrics etc

Currently what I've learned about is using a simple spreadsheet that lists:

-Functionality as headings
-All partners on the left-hand side of the spreadsheet
-Versions of the API they've integrated with
-Nuances
-Date of integration + contacts involved
-Environment details
-Etc

And I'm starting to loose my mind

I missed being a kid prodigy as well. Started programming on C64 in BASIC at age 12. Why I never learned assembly language is beyond me; for what ever reason I don't recall it being on my radar. After high school I went to college for computer science only to drop out after a year and a half and joined the Air Force.

But anyways, eventually the search for getting laid and getting drunk gave way to keeping up with programming. I tinkered around with programming while in the AF but didn't do much.

The itch to program never left though I ignored it for a LONG time.

At 40 I started on a Master's in CS (have a BS in engineering). Graduated at 45. I did remote part time jobs from 45 to 50. Got my first remote full time job at 50 during the middle of Covid in June 2020.

I just switched jobs to a major health care org at 52. It is a Java / Spring Boot / Angular position. I was completely honest with them that I hadn't done Java since MS degree (95% of courses were in Java). Never did any Spring Boot and only did one project with Angular 1.0. And they still hired me.

After a month I kind of felt over my head so I asked my team lead why they hired me. Her answer was people with some experience expected way too much money and/or they weren't willing to learn. She said I was at least willing to learn. I got a 20% boost to what I was making at the job I left, plus amazing benefits so win-win-win for me. I still have a lot to learn; Spring Boot and Angular seems very heavy to me coming from Python / Flask / HTML / CSS / vanilla JS but it is all starting to come together.

Right now my personal interest is Common Lisp. So in the mornings, at night and on weekends I delve into a CL book. It's going slow mainly because I ... SQUIRREL. But whatever, I'm in no big rush.

Moral of story: Continuously learning, be willing to learn, be honest to yourself and employers. Play on your strengths, don't deny your weaknesses and work on them.
The way things are going, not many people will be interviewing next year either. There may be a few openings for attrition but they will slow too as there are less places for people to leave to. In this kind of environment employees are going to hunker down and wait for things to pick up (and hope they don't get laid off).

I think a lot of people being laid-off are going to struggle to find employment at anything even close to the kind of level of reward they're used to at the big tech companies (because you just know the people that are hiring are going to take full advantage of the sudden glut of developers to pay less!)
Start by doing light home workouts - body-weight or yoga, first thing in the morning, <30 minutes, 3 days a week. Doing it at home saves a lot of time and eliminates the possibility of not being able to go out. Doing it first thing in the morning (while not ideal for performance) prevents other things from eating your workout schedule or you being tired after a day of work.

Start very light and simple, especially if you don't have experience with working out. 10 minutes of just pushups and squats are perfectly fine to begin with. This way you won't get injured, over-trained or scared. You can progress with time towards a "real workout", but first you need to get used to a regular schedule and gather information.

For information I would start with https://exrx.net/ - It has a section for beginners.

Most importantly: just start tomorrow. Procrastinating in searching for the perfect start is real. Just do 10 pushups, create a habit.
This assumes an implausible view of rationality, knowledge and intent.

People who intend action-X do not also intend all the consequences of X, nor are even plausibly aware of what those are. And even when they are, those are often so numerous that a time-bound agent (a person) isnt going to enumerate and weigh each for most actions.

One common case is collective action problems, eg., the tragedy of the commons: by each fishing to their intended amount they harm their ability to fish in the future, which was not intended.

Social media is a very plausible case: by each posting to their intended amount, their create the unintended result of the "gamification & publication of social life as such", and thus harm their future ability to socialise as intended.
I am in my 40’s and probably programming more now than I did in my 20’s. I enjoy exploring new languages and new paradigms. That feeling of impacting someone somewhere with code I’ve written is intoxicating - much more when someone pays a $1 to use a product or service I had a hand in. Throw in speed and cost optimizations and it all feels great.

I am married with kids and life can get busy. Programming sometimes feels like a guilt free escape especially when compared to gaming or watching sports. I manage my time better because I’m forced to which makes my programming escapes much more organized and impactful.
