> Every time I see articles talking about this subject, it's always completely focused on Twitch streamers that stream for a living.

Because, for the most part, those are the only people affected by these problems. If you don't stream with the intent to maximize your viewer counts and profits at all costs - stream when you feel like it, play what you want, don't chase trends, don't encourage parasocial relationships - you're basically immune to most of these issues.
I agree it's likely an isolated incident unless we hear evidence to the contrary. Maybe the point I was making wasn't important enough to make, I didn't mean to suggest GitLab was systematically calling people at 3am, but I can see how my comment got swept up in the surrounding discourse and seemed to imply that.
That’s more of a project, I can see why it would be really involved!
At some point people will rediscover that "buying" whole sets of equipment through a lease financing company on a lease-to-own plan with $1 end payment, and colocating it the traditional way can often be significantly cheaper than paying endless "cloud" costs.

naysayers will say, but the cloud allows you abstract away your salary costs of engineers! look at all the people you aren't hiring!

I say: If your needs are sufficiently complex you already have a number of well paid six figure salary people on staff to admin your cloud-based software architecture/setup... Hire people who know how to build infrastructure down to the bare metal.
Yes, because they happen so infrequently and are widely known to only be used for alerts that most people think are actually important, even if they aren't always relevant to every recipient.

I wanted to point out a very serious problem related to this post: Google will no longer simply accept totp as a verification but insists on sending you a notification to one of your devices.

Now I can't just use KeepassXC to get into Google anymore, I have to use my phone. The problem that the OP points out provides very real and poignant evidence that this is not only annoying but dangerous.

What is it that companies have against totp? It's starting to get obnoxious. I want to use it everywhere but some companies have stopped honoring it.
I’m more concerned with skillset deflation. It’s super common to run in to people with 10 years experience, a nice resume, and an impressive title that can’t do much of anything.
As someone who is in the middle of pulling apart a BTRFS volume by hand (read: writing code to interpret the data structures) to try and recover it, I think being burnt enough is once.

No indication of any hardware issue: No recent power loss (& it's on a UPS), no SMART issues, no memory test positives. But the block tree (at least, WIP) is f*cked across all the disks (looks like two competing writers went at it) and none of the available tools can deal with it.

It wasn't a super exotic setup either: RAID10 with 4 disks (2 stripes), fairly full and regular snapshots/cleanup, but that's it.

I already converted my root to ext4 because paranoia and I'm probably going to move bulk data (what can be recovered) to ZFS.
It's fascinating to see the descendants of the original AMP Lab (https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/) are still generating value long after it ended. For reference, Spark and Mesos are two other projects that came out of the same effort.

The platform is supposed to provide him value, it should not be the other way around. Is it wrong for an individual like Elton John to choose to distance himself from a platform that allows, in his view, things that are harmful?

If the platform makes him feel uneasy, he is well within his rights to simply leave it. Leaving the platform is the way he exercises his own freedom of speech.

Super minor compared to a lot of the stuff here, but when I was a young data scientist I had the job of creating a model to tell our call center sales agents when an ancillary product would be a good fit to upsell to customers, and when not to waste their time. The only problem: integrating it into the sales application was nearly impossible, IT said it was a huge effort, nobody wanted to do it.

So what I did was built a greasemonkey script to watch the DOM as they went through the sales flow and record the values as they were entered. I then built decision tree model of moderate size, exported it to a string, converted that into a big javascript function. Then, if the model said things were looking good, I modified the DOM to insert a little "alert" box on the top of the page. I handled all the state manually in case they navigated away or did things in a funny order. I knew zero JS or web development at the time, so this was SUPER hacky. But it worked! I then manually walked around to sales agent computers and installed the greasemonkey extension/script. I even got IT involved eventually to serve the script from an internal endpoint, allowing for easier updates.

The actual model ended up being just okay, and didn't have a huge impact on actual sales, but the exec team was SUPER impressed with the delivery mechanism. We had a parent company and they loved to brag to their superiors how we had deployed a machine learning model "for zero IT cost". They had me a do a writeup and everything in case someone wanted to copy my revolutionary idea. I'm sure some guy at the HQ took a look at my writeup and got a good laugh out of how incredibly obtuse, insecure, and hacky the whole thing was.

That said, I still think it was a clever solution and even wondered about turning it into some kind of product at one point.
I feel that the old SETI@home project can use a comeback. Most home machines have powerful GPU these days. The ML problems are embarrassingly parallel and can be distributed to the home machines.

Oh this is new because our notion of expressions; thus functions, are different.

Sure you can have terms in types in dependent types; thus functions in types is nothing new. But again, we have a much different notion of function here.

And if anything I would say types in Verse are much closer to refinement types because of its ability to apply constraints. But they are still not the same thing.
Your point is not being disputed, nor is your experience. That it can be managed is the claim, and preserving culture is important, but only to an extent. And plenty of people in the US have seen positive change due to these influxes. That something may not have worked as you desired in Virginia is merely a data point.

As to the "abstractness", I think you misunderstood. The example you've seen is merely one place, with one set of immigration rules, with a certain set of immigrants, etc. There are a lot of variables, and the majority of the search space has not been explored. That's why this is an abstract discussion.

> If you look around the world, there are more examples of dysfunctional societies than functional ones.

And in most cases, the dysfunction is not due to immigration.

> More ways to go astray than to be on the right path.

There's no right path. Only opinions on what is the desirable path.

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"

Unless, of course, the measure was good to begin with - such as cash or bars of gold. The problem with most measurable measures in software is they are gameable proxy-non-grata.

The whole thing depends on being able to compute the net present value of a patch on a given code base. Then pay the developer/team some percentage of this. What a beautiful reality that would be for developers and businesses alike. To bad there is no conceivable way to do it. I'd guess computing this is 1E12X harder than protein folding.
I think we still might be talking past each other. My assumption would be that we do a pretty terrible job at both #1 and #2 on your list, and we should look at how we can do both better. I don't think it is a competition.

I have no doubt that professionals can predict suicide for some people with actually high confidence, e.g. >50%. Sometimes it is just obvious to anyone with eyes. My point is that despite this, it doesn't mean that they are good at finding suicidal people in general.

If 45k Americans kill themselves per year, how many of those were previously identified as "high risk". How many total are identified as high risk?

Most of the things we consider as "risk factors" are terrible predictors. Take depression or anxiety, which are considered major factors. They only increase the relative risk of suicide between 2 and 5x. That is crap. When your baseline suicide rate is 13/100,000 and your major depressive is 5X more likely, you are still at 65/100,000.

This is just a long winded way of saying that if you want to claim we are good at predicting suicides, we have to take into account all of the false positives, and all of the false negatives.

If someone gave top professionals the job of predicting which 13 people out of 100k would kill themselves, how many do you think they would get right and how many would they miss?

Anarchism describes a way of organizing society in a cooperative way without government compulsion. The idea that it is compatible with capitalism, which is inherently based on exploitation of labor and asymmetric distribution of returns favoring capital, is something being pushed retroactively by capitalist anarchists.
I have seen this happen more and more in tech as well. Engineers join a company right out of college, are promoted to "senior" in a couple of years, and "staff" another two or three years after that. Now because everyone is staff you have to keep making up fancier titles – senior staff, principal engineer, technical lead, architect, senior architect, chief of staff, partner engineer, distinguished engineer, technical fellow...

I asked a higher up why this was the case, and the response was simply that people quit if they aren't promoted quick enough. Titles are free, and smaller companies have zero problems handing them out like candy to keep people happy.
According to the article they were thinking that evading house arrest wasn’t as bad as murder and US usually only extradite those kinds of crimes to Japan when they rarely do an extradition.
It's funny that that is exactly how disruption works. Use tons of VC money to flood a market with a cheaper product, become dominant, then jack up prices hoping people forgot the alternatives.

It doesn't have to be jacking up prices for exploitation either, just sometimes the costs were always there dictating the price and, eventually, you have to foot the bill for those costs.
> Also, banks have capital leverage ratios they need to abide by.

I mean yes, but it's just a band-aid for a shitty system in which they allow banks to lend money they don't have, so they needed some ratio to control the mess they created.

In in ideal system nobody lends money that isn't their own. Period.

I would rather have such critical changes to done my account in person coupled with the Aadhaar verification. Banking security revolution you are suggesting has its own merits and demerits and it really doesn’t work for even decent fraction of the population. RBI can do the whip thingie in an instant but then the banks will have to do the magic wand thing.

You know, I saw in my village a gentleman forcing the bank manager to set a password for him on a phone pushed in front of uncomfortable young bank manager because he didn’t know how to sign up to mobile banking and he wanted to use UPI. No, the gentleman didn’t plan to change the password. Later the bank manager told me this is as common as it gets.

I see. This is more of a frustrated rant and I wouldn’t say it’s entirely invalid, but misplaced yes. In a place like India you can’t really think of specs, best practices, and certifications alone. That’s far from ideal, but that’s how it is for a place where a huge challenge is still the “reach and access of modern banking”.

> For starters, why not actually define the I in AI in a way that can be measured?

I can say for starters that attempts to do it started at least at 1905 when Bine created the first IQ test, and it never ended since. The craze at some point came to a "intelligence is what IQ test measures". But thankfully scientists mostly rejected this novel idea.

Turing's test is on the same quest, and it seems to me that people will reject the test as irrelevant if computer programs will master it better than people.

It seems impossible to define intelligence. Oh, you can say "I think, therefore I'm intelligent". But it does not help much to create a definition of an intelligence, because what you see in your mind is a result of thinking, the process itself is hidden from you. It is a black box for you. Like you vision: it took computer scientists half a century to reverse-engineer human vision exactly because it is a black box for us.

> Parenting for humans needs roughly 10-30 years to get results that the parent is really unhappy with. Why on earth don't Comp Sci get this

Because Comp Sci is unencumbered by limitations of biological parents. They can try highly experimental approach and then just `rm` the result from a storage. They would be trying electical shocks or public decapitation of randomly selected models, if it made any sense.

FrontPage used an interval tree to represent misnested HTML tags. The browsers would interpret the tags as covering the contained area using ad-hoc parsing techniques (e.g. simply keeping a running character property stack to handle font, b, i tags). Frontpage tried to preserve all the tags and the structure it saw on input while also producing the same visual output so it had a tougher problem. (I wrote that interval tree code.)
I have a Materials Engineering degree. In my 4th and final year I decided to pick "Solid State Physics" as an elective, it was a 3rd year course taught by the physics faculty it had no prerequisites listed and sounded like it was an interesting subject.

I was the only non physics student in the course and I remember sitting in the first lecture as the lecturer spoke a million miles an hour about Hamiltonians, Wave Functions and Fermi-Dirac Statistics. Almost everything he spoke about sounded like a completely different language to me and everyone else was nodding along to everything he was saying. I felt so lost. I somehow scraped a pass but in the process had to teach myself the prior assumed physics knowledge in order to do so. I would not recommend.
How presumptuous to assume that education needs disruption, I think the disaster that is forced e-learning and all the extra bullshit associated with MOOCs and anti-cheat would be enough of a signal to stop breaking things

Gosh, what a strong idea that is. Well, it won't be long now...
Been working with generative AI for 3 years. I think the fatigue is less about the AI, but people's responses to it.

A part of is the sheer laziness. People ask AI the kind of dumb questions that would get them downvoted to hell on Stack Overflow. Or they post 50 generative images from AI on a topic instead of filtering for one good one.

These days people are all, "write me a poem about a cat" and then claim that the result is soulless. Yes, it's soulless because you're not putting any of your soul into it, expecting AI to cover for you.

There is incredibly good stuff coming out of AI. Some artists manage to mix it together with a lot of editing to produce something impressive and new. Some people use it to tell stories, similar to a comic would and not just some lazy "60s avengers cosplay in claymation"
yes but this is a post about google.
I disagree out of hand that capitalism is "based" on exploitation of labor, but even if it were, exploitation and differing levels of capital return are completely compatible with anarchism. Anarchism is not a synonym for utopia. People can do bad things or simply amoral things that you happen to not like within a stateless societal framework such as anarchism.
