Couldn't that mean they're at least partially right?

For instance, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that the low-hanging fruit of developer AI will be combing AI with no-code so that a small to medium business owner can build their own website or apps using the English language, assuming their needs are pretty typical. This is more or less already possible with sites like Wix, just without the AI part; AI would add some flexibility that Wix and Squarespace lack. A business owner would then be able to say "put a widget on my homepage that shows the latest video from my youtube channel" and AI would probably able to do it when an existing component either wouldn't exist or not be as straight forward.

So what ends up happening is human software development more or less becomes an exercise in shoveling dung rather than building new things from scratch, which I think we're already seeing more or less regardless of AI.

The problem becomes when this vocal minority is put in a position of influencing what others do and how they communicate. At best, they are making people less clear at communicating, but at worst they are trying to co-opt the use of language and forcing people to acknowledge that this world view is the right one through the use of language.
They fight back by pronouncing it horribly:

“L'anglais n'est que du français mal prononcé”

“English is little more than badly pronounced French”

All in all I look back at my 40's and consider it the best decade of my life.
Do a quick search and you'll see that so many artists, writers, etc. did their seminal work later in life. Athletics and punk rock are the only areas your youth is a true factor (excluding Iggy Pop)

Get some therapy, re-set your ideas and expectations of your life and good luck to you truly.
The principle that people would like to defend is the idea that states can’t simply find end-runs around something that is (under then-current Supreme Court precedent) a constitutionally-protected activity. This is what the Court did with its finding on the Texas law.

You are correct that the Court has many ways to avoid providing a clear, consistent ruling that grounds its recent decisions in principle. But even this isn’t necessarily a bad thing: by doing so, the Court very clearly signals that it cannot be trusted to consistently enforce any legal principle, which is good support for the alternative solution: use the political and legislative process to remedy the situation.
Yeah, same in Russian but I was too lazy to type it out on a mobile :D
I think the Legal Profession is the low-hanging fruit for systems like ChatGPT. Paralegals will be hit the hardest, being virtually eliminated or transformed into “AI herders”, with a requisite tech background. Attorneys will be able to prep more letters/cases/pleadings more rapidly, leading to a slow darwinistic downsizing of their profession. Probably the first ones who blink and lower their rates will be the survivors.
That doesn't fix any of the other problems Snaps cause.
Amazing. Just waited 10yrs for this!
Bet you could even host it in a container-based on demand system ala Google Cloud Run (ideally behind a CDN).
As someone who hires a lot of ml engineers a masters can be a good way to learn but isn't a strong signal on a resume.

Hands on experience and side projects (especially ones in investing/betting where you actually put money on the line) count for way more.

A good masters will help you nail down the fundamentals of linear regression, metrics, regularization, gradient descent, metrics etc. That knowledge doesn't go out of date and you do use it and get asked about it in interviews.

Large language models etc are growing rapidly but how most practitioners user them is much slower. People still use BERT and the smaller ones for computational reasons and ways you fine tune, evaluate, prompt engineer etc for the larger ones don't change that quickly.

There is also the large area of debugging, monitoring, performance tuning and improving large training and production systems. Even if generative models write could write great code for an entire system i don't see this area going away any time soon.
> The flip side is the assumption that nobody in their right mind would pay for a chip that could be fully wiped and/or updated by end users.

Eh, TPMs are fully erasable -- well, the seeds that matter anyways, but not the public keys that sign firmware updates. There's a big difference between "fully wiped" in the TPM sense and "updated by end users" if the latter means "with their own code", but the latter is still OK if in the process all key material is lost that could be used to impersonate the original device.

I.e., an SE that users can flash with their own software should be OK provided that there is no way to impersonate the original SE after doing so. I've no idea if that can be the case for SEs, but it definitely could be for TPM-like devices.
> Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.
Given the nature of programmers, I think the bigger threat is that AI makes the jobs so mind numbingly boring and unchallenging that they quit before AI gets the chance to replace them.
So I have been rejected and "banned" from a MSG venue. It's not fun, and it has nothing to do with your behavior.

It was at the Chicago Theather and it was the Chris Rock show back in 2017. I bought the ticket, I don't believe that it had any special restrictions [this was a long time ago], the ticket had no indications about the "phoneless"/phone encasing demand. The event page didn't say anything about this. However they were trying to force this. I refused

Why did I refuse? The Bataclan attack* happened less than 2 years before this and mobile phones did [it was reported at the time] help people communicate for help and escape. This is a big venue, and I certainly don't trust a venue who doesn't trust their ushers who can't get people to stop filming. Think they're going to know how to call the cops/handle an emergergcy? lol.

What happened? Since I was denied, I asked for a refund from the venue. The main security guard corralled me against the wall, waited for the manager, the manager argued with me and refused refund [even despite the ticket saying nothing about this, their overall policy said nothing about this [I checked to see if I could bring my small camera with me]], when the manager left to get an artist rep she felt the need to "ban me" to another security guard, they got a "artist rep" trying to argue against me using "well this is the artist's preference". (Why they brought out the stupid artist rep is beyond me)

Ultimately I lost that 80$ and will shit talk Chris Rock, any venue, and any artist who uses the yondr device.

No one is going to toss out their ICE car as a long as you can still buy petrol. Manufacturers aren't going to physically be able to produce EVs much faster than they could produce ICE cars, so there will be a slow replacement as ICE cars get written off in crashes, or become uneconomical to repair with age

So on one hand, I think this is still too little. Even when buying porn one would want to know exactly what it is they're paying for, and it would make more sense to do the payment at some place with a gallery, previews, etc.

But on the other hand, this might be a plausible deniability sort of thing. This way paidlink.to doesn't host anything, they don't even say what it is that they're going to direct the user to. This might be an attempt to keep payment processors off their back as long as possible.

It may not work forever but since next to nothing is being provided, this site is extremely cheap to setup and run, which means it won't take long to pay off.
You cannot plan for every possible scenario in an unpredictable world, it is just impossible, be adaptable instead.
Seems like one issue would be that an older Mac device is not going to be able to run new software updates once it ages out and wont get new security updates once that happens.
The issue is I as a scammer can create a paid link to any arbitrary URL, including your URL. There's no verification of control like how say LetsEncrypt works. As a user I'm taken to a link with no verification of what I might be paying for. There's no preview of the content or even a declaration of who might own rights to the linked content. So I get a link that says I need to pay $10, what the fuck am I paying for?

Even if I followed a link and expect to be paying, a scammer could also send me a link to the same content. I expected to pay through this site so I go ahead and pay for the content. Since I followed the scammer's link they get paid instead of the content owner.

This is a system just rife with abuse potential.
They don't need feds, since "Mastadon" does't have an internal side, besides official instances.
I've also seen NYT and CNN make updates to articles that materially change the original reporting without noting the change[1], or adding an blink-and-you'll-miss it note at the very end of the article. Ars consistently updates the title and has the explanation for the changes before the original article body, which is beyond other news organizations since it's impossible to miss.

Amsterdam's perception as a 'party city' is a funny one to me. I guess the lax drug laws are to blame, making it easy and legal for folks to try things they otherwise wouldn't.

The red light district pretty tame, lots of neon cops and families. The 'coffee' shops are a fun vibe, but coming from a legal country it's nothing world changing. Fun way to meet people though.

Prague, Budapest, Instanbul, Berlin, even Belgrade have a party scene I'd describe as wilder and edgier. In Amsterdam, I recall lots of unimpressed bachelor parties and American college kids, not really an authentic Euro party scene one imagines. A wonderful city and one of my favorites to visit during the day, but if the desired highlight of your visit is nightlife, there are much better and cheaper options.
I switched to Linux Mint. It's Ubuntu without Snaps.
Imo as useless before as after. Software engineering is life long learning. 5 years in school is better spent solving real problems anyways.

All these Ai advancements help you solve more problems. Just like higher level languages or your favorite library or the cloud. More tools to solve things. That's our job.
> Greenwood and his co-conspirators, including fugitive Ruja Ignatova, conned unsuspecting victims out of billions of dollars, claiming that OneCoin would be the 'Bitcoin killer.' In fact, OneCoins were entirely worthless."

People who think that all crypto is worthless may be confused by this. The actual reason was far more silly. They blatantly admitted to the scam in writing making it an open and shut case:

> OneCoin was a multi-level marketing (MLM) pyramid scheme

> As Ignatova allegedly put it in an email to Greenwood, "We are not mining actually – but telling people shit."

> OneCoin's value, according to the Feds, was simply set by those managing the company – they manipulated the OneCoin exchange to simulate trading volatility but the price of OneCoin always closed higher than it opened.

> Ignatova allegedly told Greenwood that one of the goals for the OneCoin trade exchange was "always close on a high price end of day open day with high price, build confidence – better manipulation so they are happy

> Email correspondence between Greenwood and Ignatova, as cited by the Justice Department, describes how the defendants referred to OneCoin privately as "trashy coin." And in an August 9, 2014 email exchange with Greenwood, Ignatova's first option on a list of possible exit strategies is said to have been, "Take the money and run and blame someone else for this…"

It's sad that the only reason this case was prosecuted is because the founders were stupid enough to admit to fraud in writing. How many blatant scams are out there where the founders are using purely euphemistic language & making sure to have short data retention periods (~1 yr is standard in businesses).

Canadians kind of get the best of both worlds (at least for dualies) living in the US. You can max out your 401k on a pre-tax level; IIRC, you pay taxes both ways when investing in an RRSP.

If you have a Nexus card and live close to the border, travel between the two countries becomes a non-issue.

When you hit retirement age, you can move back to Canada and get provincial health care.

As of today, $1.00 USD == $1.36 CAD.

I will probably be depositing a lot more money back into my Canadian savings account over the next few years, just because I'll probably move back at some point in my life.

So yeah, Canadians in the US definitely get a lot of advantages over other immigrants. The only trade off is filling a 1040 every year, but even that is reduced to one additional form when residing in Canada.
I agree that's not so bad in general. In this particular case, however, when one wants to say that someone is obsessively preoccupied with irrelevant issues (which could be a valid issue), OCD is not a good choice, but 'detail-oriented' misses the point entirely.

Dart/flutter sound good and I have heard good things. The downside is you’re rolling the dice on whether it will still exist in five years because it’s a Google project.
The fact that you're talking about Saturn Vs and landing on planets and taking off again shows that you're considering the wrong paradigm entirely. If you're landing on planets you're already doing it wrong. Atmosphere and gravity wells are the enemy. Remember, even the non-self-replicating probe still needs to be self-repairing, since in your scenario it has to last for probably a million years' worth of radiation and micrometeorite damage. A million years' worth of spare parts is probably a much bigger investment than some automated manufacturing.
There is a strong implication that only men are artists, photographers etc; and thus women are depicted not as they are.

This is wrong on two levels

On the first level: there absolutely are women painters, photographers and artists, throughout history. Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun almost exclusively painted women and was a large influence on the depictions of women throughout the remainder of the 18th, the 19th and even 20th century.

On the second level: outside observation is a valid truth, what one person sees is not the same as that person themselves sees.

There was a hair dye ad in the 90s that covered this notion pretty nicely: a man is riding up an escalator feeling himself quite handsome, believing that his grey hair makes him look distinguished! A woman rides down the escalator, they lock eyes, she thinks he looks tired and unkempt.

The things we see as strengths can be seen as weaknesses and the things we see as weaknesses can be seen as strengths; but a self-portrait is rarely true to what people actually see.

I clearly identified it up front as a patent, and if you don't want to read about it, just skip it.
I implemented this algorithm to generate StarCraft 1 maps and it worked quite well. The results it generates have quite a natural property to them that you don't see with similar things like perlin noise. I wrote it in rust which I compiled down to wasm, put it on a web page with an ugly UI and gave it to the community. They used to to produce some interesting maps and the results of one run even got included in a real released and finished map. One other benefit of this algorithm is that people can hand craft a map, placing tiles in certain places, and then you can ask the algorithm to complete the map. The algorithm will seemlessly blend generated content with your original tile placements (which are just more constraints). This is really nice for filling in unimportant areas with a consistent level of detail.

Unfortunately I could never really get it to be fast enough. There are an enormous number of tiles in StarCraft, 15,000+ for some tilesets, and people want to generate maps of up to 256x256 tiles. This is a huge state space and under these conditions the algorithm very often gets stuck in a local minima. I've tried so many different heuristics to get it to work but it doesn't work reliably enough to be a truly useful tool in this situation unfortunately.

There are many explanations out there about how this algorithm works, more so than many other algorithms. I think the reason for that is because from hearing the basic high level idea of this algorithm most people are able to then go and implement it and then that makes for an interesting blog post (I could do the same after implementing, I think). What almost all of these blog posts are missing is how to make it fast, and how to implement back tracking efficiently. I had to try a lot of things to get to where I am now and I don't feel like I've fully explored the space of possible implementations despite trying a lot of different approaches.

Here are some example generated maps:

> For renting to be better value than buying, the rent has to be cheaper than just the interest part of the mortgage payment plus whatever portion of the maintenance costs is for things a landlord could be persuaded to cover, a somewhat lower bar than the entire payment

Yep, this is forgotten in many discussions comparing rent and mortgage. Only the interest portion of your mortgage matters for the sake of comparing expenses. The principal portion is money going from one of your pockets to the other and does not represent an expense.

Even if we take some of this list in good faith, this kind of manual is so over-the-top compared to anything in current American society. The cognitive load of constantly having to think about what you are saying in order to avoid microaggressions does more damage to free thought and discourse than any damage it prevents by policing it.

And then there are more examples of absolute stupidity than there are legitimate grievances. The policing of color references due to "perceived superiority" is ridiculous.

It is a net harm to make people think this way, especially when the penalties for getting it wrong are immediate apologies, lest you be run out of your profession.

There was an article yesterday in the New York Times where some people took issue with the naming of the James Webb Space Telescope because he headed NASA when there was a government-wide policy against homosexuals.

A well-credentialed and respected black man wrote an article saying "No, JW did not actively participate in purges of gay employees and in fact may have dragged the feet of NASA in any implementations of such policies" (I am paraphrasing). He also expressed frustration toward an unnamed scientist who “propagated unsubstantiated false information" regarding James Webb.

The rebuttal from said scientist, a self-proclaimed left wing activist and cosmologist? “The leader of a professional society and a senior scientist,” she wrote, is “going out of his way to justify historic homophobia” and “attack a junior queer Black woman professor.”

For some people, they only have their perception of their own persecution to lean on. She didn't argue the merits. She makes anyone who disagrees with her out to be someone who abuses power dynamics, hates LGBT people, black people, women, and women in high professions.

The point: Even if some of this makes sense in a lab setting, it is a net harm on the discourse, and those who would champion it wholeheartedly are the kinds of people who live their lives as perpetually persecuted, and are willing to ruin careers and lives if you do not consent to their total authority over language.

> Your totally ignore the key element here: a new technology is allowing denying entry at a whole new scale. Nobody really has an objection to organization blocking a single individual who is might cause trouble. But blocking an entire class of people is a) newly enabled* and b) much more harmful to society.

So you're okay with the principle of denying individuals entry to a private business, but you're NOT okay with businesses enforcing this with technology? How does that make any sense?
