As these companies follow the trend of trashing employee-driven cultures, which highly value employee contributions (rather than 'bossism'), there must be a supply of highly talented people who want this culture and who a company that embraces it could attract.

Many of these people may prioritize that over annual pay. And this culture has worked very well for SV - the most successful center of business in possibly generations.
Buddha didn’t invent Buddhism and none of the scriptures or discourses were written down until almost 400 years after he died. As Alan Watts used to say, Buddhism is essentially Hinduism “stripped for export”, given you really can’t be a Hindu if you don’t live in place where others are Hinduing.

Much of what we know about his words and lessons were memorized by his followers, some of which had perfect audio recall. Buddha himself was purported to be capable of projecting imagery into the minds of others.

Buddha likely indicated asceticism should be avoided and most would find some ease in the work they must do to be satisfied with life by following a middle way, or measured and balanced approach to living life as a householder. His followers were the exception to this guidance, as they sought a higher understanding and ability to teach others the dharma.

This middle way is mostly derived from the logic of ethical behavior, and these truths may be discovered without assistance if one considers and puts attention on them. The Four Noble Truths are just a means to remember the pickle we find ourselves in with our thoughts and conditions and give way to the Noble Eightfold Path which indicates where we tend to wander from the path of understanding and peace with ourselves and others.

Past that, the only way to see the truth of things is to sit and note breath until you see the truth for yourself. Then, suffering is reduced and you continue on, as if having seen the solution to a puzzle you didn’t know the answer to a moment ago. This is the more advanced route and not suggested for householders, nor should householders attempt to teach the dharma to others.

In short, being a householder following the path means you be present with your thoughts. Here. Now. Avoid negative emotions. Speak your truths. Avoid dissonance. Break it where it helps the most people. And, above all, die well.

What an atheist meme. These things were ‘lost’ because of breakdowns in trade networks caused by breakdowns of central authority and invasions by outside powers. If anything, the Church is what’s kept the Classics alive through its usage of Latin in the clergy and its preservation of Roman structures as churches.
If I recall (need to Google it but am out and about at the moment), Safari won’t evict if you’ve installed it as their version of a progressive web app (share button -> “add to Home Screen”).

(I say “their version” because they still lack a number of things most PWAs use, like more robust service workers for background operations, notification support, etc)

A few months ago, I decided to play around with IndexedDb (for the first time) and PWAs and created a Stable Diffusion web interface that stores data in your browser. [1]

I have thousand of images stored as base64 strings in Safari on iOS since the beginning of October and it’s all still there!

Granted… this is a web app installed as an “app” on my iPhone’s Home Screen. So, IndexedDb inside Safari itself may still behave as you say.

It was recently written up in PC World [2] as part of an article about a distributed cluster of Stable Diffusion instances [3].

> more tech people are making their living as independent consultants/contractors

For me it looks like the opposite: today companies want full time employees (with a good LinkedIn profile). Unlike the 90'ies they no longer want independent consultants solving individual projects.

And all companies absolutely wants full time no matter the efficiency. Partial time gray beards not wanted.

That video is excellent and I wish they existed when I studied mathematics years ago as I may have kept going! In particular he gives the broad overview first so you understand it at a squint level and then you feel motivated to learn more.

The best thing about a Kindle is that it removes the barrier to reading. When I have to carry around a paperback all the time (and a bookmark) I just end up taking out my phone instead. The Kindle allows for replacing the phone with a book, so I don't end up scrolling Twitter (or HN) for the 8th time in an hour.

Also: Kindle users should check out Libby[0] - it's like a public library but for eBooks, and you can probably sign up through your local public library. It's great for books that might be interesting, but aren't an immediate read.

>Turnout was relatively very high in 2016 and 2020.

And? The U.S. has countless local elections happening almost every year. The turnouts are abysmal.

>Progressives and the radical right don't think so, and they've certainly had tons of influence on government.

Those aren't 100% of the electorate. This loops back to the point that democracy is failing when the bulk of the electorate no longer bother to vote.

Only in a country with FPTP and distorted voter power distribution would a 60% turnout be considered "relatively very high". European elections regularly have turnouts in the high 80s. That's what normal democracies look like.

Symlinks are virtually just extra data in the inode. As such, it should be possible to add a symlink that points to an URL, provided lower level or POSIX limits do not restrict characters like ":" (though that's easily worked around by using a different character).

Now, interpreting such symlinks as files is a different matter.

I am surprised nobody has yet come up with an overlay FS for Linux that transparently reads from a symlinked URL: this would allow such symlinks to work in any symlink supporting filesystem.

How exactly would would this design keep track of how many funds a client has in order to fulfill an order? How does NASDAQ keep track of client's total funds?
Agreed. Self-aware doesn't necessarily imply having a survival instinct. That instinct came about due to evolution and doesn't require intelligence of any kind, so I don't see that the two are necessarily coincident at all.

To me the real problem wouldn't be the AGI itself, but the madman who asks the AGI how to permanently eliminate of all of the undesirables (as defined by the madman). But I think plain old AIs will (unfortunately) be able to come up with workable answers to that question before they ever develop to the AGI stage. So we might wipe ourselves with plain old AI without ever getting to true self-aware AGI.

I can make an argument for anything being better than cash including a massive tinned baked bean stockpile. It is quite hard to do worse than cash.

I don't follow, gold has been making pretty reasonable returns for about 20 years now and has been a far superior option to cash. What don't you like about it?
Man there are some real doozies in this repo's issues.

- an extensive month long discussion that leaks implementation details of a private repo and ultimately leads to adding 1 readme comment that merely _suggests_ something https://github.com/artsy/README/issues/459

- starting a 3 full-day hackathon every quarter. https://github.com/artsy/README/issues/441

- adding politically motivated language and starting a policy to open issues in dependencies that do not conform. Look at the time and energy putting into changing master -> main and white/blacklist -> allow/deny. Also https://github.com/artsy/README/issues/427

Some registrars offer more than 10 years, but the registries don't actually allow that (afaik), so you're really just depositing money with the registrar and hoping they make it work.

I've got a (static) site that I want to live for a long time, the hosting provider does allow for deposits from others, so I'm hoping to make a large deposit with the hosting provider, but also include the necessary info to allow others to pay the bills if the deposit runs out eventually. Hopefully the company stays around.

Worst case, someone can bring it back from the internet archive and give it a new home, as I did.
For many people, those signals can be wrong and shouldn't be listened to.
There is truth to this.
> It's a lot harder to see AGI as being possible in the next few decades (the current state of the art is still a sensationalized party trick

That's precisely the mindset that drives climate change denial, applied to technological developments. I can promise you that OpenAI isn't valued in the tens of billions because they produce "party tricks". People with money and influence have clearly already recognized what this technology is capable of, not in some unspecified future but today. They're tightly controlling access to GPT-3 because they're worried that it could be used to manipulate elections and drive social unrest by mass-producing messages that promote specific ideologies. That's reality today. The damage that could be wrought by the most advanced AIs 15-20 years from now is unimaginable, and could easily destroy humanity even if they aren't self aware.
My biggest take-away from Ancient Apocalypse is: This is out there now. Its popular. Graham makes a really big stink about how monolithic and hostile the archaeological community is, and the archaeological community has done absolutely nothing but prove him right on that every step of the way. This striates both groups further from each other, entrenching them in their beliefs about our history. As the article states: Graham is probably right about some stuff; and every time he's right, its fuel for his theories, and more likely than not he begins sliding even further into incredulity.

History has proven one thing: Science doesn't just get to win by being Science. Do you know how much I'd love to watch a Netflix (or Youtube!) series that point-by-point disproves or provides more reasonable explanations for the phenomena Graham proposes, filmed in a similar awesome style? Where is it?

Every field of science needs a Neil DeGrasse Tyson, or Bill Nye, or Carl Sagan. You need people who level with non-academics; who make the science fun, who know how to communicate, who are willing to admit when we don't know something but here's how we're trying to change that, and here's why pattern-matching One Grand Explanation into the holes is usually the wrong answer, who genuinely take the science and show, hey, those fantastical conspiracy theories are cool, but reality is WAY cooler, and here's why.
I have to disagree. The failure of ones peers does not make a person wise.
I didn’t go to college due to circumstances. I don’t regret and will make the same choice given the same circumstances.

But if you can, I think it’s the safest decision to go.

People in this thread give a bunch of reasons, which I challenge:

1. Immigration: I’m 25 from a shithole country. I have lived and worked in Asia, Europe and America. A bit more difficulty, but nothing major. Surely with a German passport this wouldn’t be a biggie.

2. Learning: Admittedly, the internet has a lot of noise. But there are good resources like MIT OCW, teachyourselfcs, etc. I will argue some universities are worst than some of the online resources.

3. Social connection: This wouldn’t be a problem if you have hobbies, community and a life outside work. You can always make life long friends.

4. You will learn or experience something vague: Please be specific? Usually, there are other ways to learn or experience these things.

The biggest issue I had to deal with was I thought all the college folks were better than me. But that went away when I joined bigger companies and started interviewing and working with college folks. They were not special.
> Domain knowledge is more important than your coding skills

In the short run. In the long run the lack of coding skills will start to show and bog things down. You need both domain and design in equal amounts for the long term success of a project.

The only problem with that is that because of the sanctions the Euro demand has plummeted and all major economies outside the west are dumping their dollar reserves and are moving to non dollar settlements, Saudi Arabia and the GCC just signed a massive cooperation deal with China and some other places have pegged their currencies to the Ruble. Yes the dollar is strong and will stay for a while, but to believe that nothing has changed in the recent past is to be wilfully oblivious of all the idiotic policies that have weakened the Euro and the Dollars position in the world.

My understanding is that development in some modern areas is exponential. This is the reason why China grew so fast. So a case could be made for faster timelines. US may not slow considerably but it will stop leading and being the only one.
I used NetBSD for my senior project (I graduated from college last year). We were trying to port the XFS file system to it. We didn't come close to a usable product but I gained a good amount of appreciation for operating system work and NetBSD which I otherwise wouldn't have gotten. The docs are good, the system feels unified (much more so than Linux ever will), and NetBSD+ctwm runs great on my 2009 Thinkpad (and the built-in wifi even works).

But if it weren't for a professor at my college who had been using it for 20 years, I'm not sure I ever would have touched it. The goal of "ultimate portability" was great in the 90s and early 2000s, but nowadays we only really use x86-64 and ARM64. What else is there that sets NetBSD apart?

Honestly curious why you consider SWE not “working in IT”
Coded throughout my teenage years, didn’t go to college and that was one of the best decisions of my life.

A lot of very hard things of life were pressed upon me a lot faster than if I had stayed in the candy world of education, like: “who am I? What do I really want to do besides making money?”
And yes, indeed getting visas can be 10x harder, but with the right skills and lawyers you can make it work. And honestly, if you’re going to do something for 3-5 years of your life, just to get a piece of paper to go somewhere, that’s a significant chunk of your life consumed… especially in an age where you can work anywhere on well paid exciting opportunities.

Bottom line is that: everybody is always going to give their biased opinion. Most people who have gone to school will say that school is great. Dropping out is not for everyone. Not everybody has equal mental and emotional strength. For some people, it might be dangerous, they may not know how to find themselves in the world at such a young age. But if you have confidence, courage, skills and trust your ability to grow up faster than avg, then I fully celebrate you my man!

Pulling CAT6 cable in existing conduit
Programming is a "dream job" for me. I'm getting paid to do (approximately) the same stuff I would be (and am) doing on my own time, and I have entire departments whose job it is to handle the boring drudge work, like accounting, taxes, billing, client meetings, etc. etc. Sure, there are trade-offs. I have to use a language that I'm not entirely happy with, infrastructure choices I don't fully agree with, pre-existing code, and meetings that I find irrelevant, but, overall, I'm happy with the tradeoff.

And besides, it's not as if you're free of those things as a freelancer.
