The inherent problem with hardware related jobs is that you require physical prototypes. It becomes frustrating to wait for days for the hardware to arrive to complete the assigned tasks. Sending hardware to remote location on every revision of the prototype becomes a bottleneck. And if you are in a country which the west think should not get new hardware, then it is impossible to work remotely for countries in the west.

It is too much of a hassle to do remote hardware projects unless you are medium to large scale contractor who manufacturers the prototypes, like the Chinese companies.
I don't see a huge difference between $60k and $77k for instance, and it all depends on your actual job offers.

Regardless, while I don't disagree with your facts, the original claim (not by you) was that Japan had a "hostile immigration policy that is against permanency". This is false, and sounds like a lie in fact, unless the OP just woke up from cryo-sleep after being frozen in 1985. Sure, there are real challenges to working and living in Japan if you're a native English speaker (which I am), but my whole point here is that legally, immigration here is actually very easy, contrary to the anti-Japan posts like the OP's that I frequently see on forums like this one. Immigration policy here is far, far more inviting than the US which claims to be open to immigration, yet has severe limits on visas and green cards and is legally extremely difficult and expensive to emigrate to.

The threshold for "obese" and all such labels has changed over the years, in such a way that makes it seem like people are fatter, when in fact the labels have changed.

Some history. https://elemental.medium.com/the-bizarre-and-racist-history-...
To be fair our ideas of normal are extremely skewed. If you look at photos from say 1962, you'd consider most people "skinny" (even photos of places like the US). Yet even then, 23% of American adults were obese according to the CDC. Even in 1987, the actor that played Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket gained 75lbs to play a comically obese Marine. Today he looks fitter than most people you'd see everyday.

If you look at the US today, an average of just 1 in 4 people are not medically overweight or obese. What was considered (and is factually) obese, is now considered "chubby" or "curvy" if not normal by most Americans for whom that is normal.

Yeah, and that's a definite bonus. It's the attitude I've read from people taking it that grinds my gears - when I read the semaglutide subreddit it was full of people saying "oh, so this is what skinny people feel like."

No, how you feel on the drug isn't how most of us skinny people feel. I'm probably somewhat uniquely qualified to make that distinction at the moment. The rest of us have worked hard our entire lives to stay skinny and now you all get a cheat. It's one thing if you recognize it, but it's beyond annoying if you don't.
I'm a former "fat folk" and I tend to agree this is more about willpower than many people are willing to admit.

I'm not insulted by anyone who discounts the effort I put into getting fit though. Weight and genetics and willpower are all confusing concepts and it's understandable to not be willing to attribute it all to willpower.

I will say that it is almost discouragingly hard to maintain this level of discipline for many years though. My body does seem to fight me in ways other healthy weight people don't seem to deal with. So while it does come down to my willpower to stay the course, I also admit that if I were to have an unexpected life event that caused me to fall out of my routine it might lead to weight gain again.

Upvotes/downvotes are too easily gamed as the weights are are the same no matter who you are (thus a bot farm can promote any post/opinion).
I'm in a similar boat as you. COMPLETE opposite experience as other folks, to the point of pathology. I could not overeat to save my life. I cannot lift weights and expect any growth due to lack of caloric intake. When I try to exceed 2k calories in a day, I find myself so full I need to lie down and groan for an hour until things move and digest. Force any more down and I'll vomit. I cannot concentrate with a meal in my stomach, so I wake at 9, eat ~500cal at 1pm, and leave the rest til I'm done work at 8.

Sometimes I lose 15lbs when having a bout of constipation due to goddamn IBS.

Every person in my life, friend or foe or family or partner finds it clever and completely acceptable to tell me I'm "too skinny and need to eat more".

Others without my experience just don't get it. Glad these overweight folks have a tool to help them.

Strange, I've found doing meal prep one day a week that you partition into fixed quantities for each day to be way easier than making a meal every day. I'm surprised you found it such a pain in the ass. It's a pain to setup and do the calculations that first time, but once you do it's fairly easy to maintain the routine.
Don't you think most kids would also choose to quit maths or history or any other boring subject at school too? This article skirts around the fact that I think is the reason kids quit 90+% of the time: the kids just don't want to do it but their parents are forcing them.

How many young kids actually, genuinely want to play a violin/flute/clarinet? I'd wager very, very few. I don't think it is the teaching method at fault here, it's just that probably very few kids want to play an instrument.

Of course kids will quit boring/tedious stuff when they are not forced/compelled to continue. You can't just opt out of learning maths (at least in the UK you can't anyway), but music "lessons" are obviously optional (in the UK there is/was music classes that taught theory, reading music notation etc to the entire class, but not how to play a specific instrument).

My kids are still too young, but when it happens I am strongly going to lobby for them learning an instrument that at least has the possibility of them seeming cool to their peers (so e.g. guitar or drums or whatever) and so something they are more likely to want to continue, rather than forcing Mozart + oboe on a 14 year old or whatever.
It probably depends where you live and your social groups. In MT it seems that there are two main groups of people. Those who are into outdoor activities (healthier lifestyle) and your other group which is more adverse to the outdoors and prefer to socialize in Bars or at events. If you fall into the latter, it can be socially isolating if you want to lose weight or maintain a healthy eating habit.

Cutting that population growth by 1/3rd (or more, really, considering children) sure would help that number, would it not? A huge, huge portion of our population growth is due to illegal immigration.
This list aligns with my personal bias when it comes to what makes sense in building great software.

Whenever I mention why Windows is my OS of choice, one of the very first reasons I list is AHK. I have hundreds of little macros that save me gobs of typing. It works beautifully almost anywhere (Although, NP++ hates it... I wonder if V2 fixes that?)

It'll be a while before I give it a try, because it sounds like I'll have to convert a bunch of stuff- but I'm definitely going to give it a try. I'm just overjoyed that AHK is in active development still! Been using it for well over a decade.

My Favorite Use of AHK

2014. My grandfather was in his mid-80's. He lost dexterity in his hands, and was having a very difficult time because he was clicking both left and right mouse buttons at the same time.

AHK to the rescue! I re-mapped right mouse button to nothing, effectively disabling it. Then, I mapped NumPad+ to the right mouse button. If he needed to right click, he just pointed, pressed NumPad+. Otherwise, he could click both buttons all day long and the computer operated just fine.

He got a few more months use out of that before he passed away, and it remains the most meaningful computer fix of my entire career. I miss that man. A lot.

Wow. Way to bring me back. Looking at the link above I immediately recognized a similar toy that I had in the early 90's. it was of a similar design but with a small electric motor, and a stiff wire about 3ft long running to a control box that also had batteries. The UFO would hover. As I recall it was red and looked like a UFO.

If we're talking toys that don't exist anymore, anybody here ever have a water pressure rocket? You'd add water and then pressurize it with a hand pump. They'd go about 50 ft in the air I think. Once by accident I released a pressurized rocket in my parents kitchen leaving a nice dent in the ceiling.

> no one will be going out of business just because their frontend isn't React

Yes.

But one is more likely to go out of business if their frontend is still using JQuery. It's harder to maintain and iterate, harder to recruite good engineers.

I would ask for more money if the company hiring me uses JQuery and doesn't use TypeScript/React. And if the company somehow hires me, I would be less productive because I can't use TypeScript and a modern framework.
Ah. True dat.
Worth noting is that stochastic computing devices would make reproducible experiments more difficult. For R&D, that's not a trivial thing to throw away. Indeed, one of JAX's motivations is finer control of pseudo-randomness for reproducibility of experiments.
OKRs are just about the worst way to gauge success at a small scale.

Given the number of users who are novices to both git and ssh and all the rest, and also given that the UI doesn't really have room for "teaching" (it's already a popup, so adding another popup would be pretty ugly), I think it is a fairly reasonable change.

Clearly, more people were confused by the original than outraged about the current implementation... I don't even recall the change being made.
> It’s so hard to eat healthy, I honestly cannot fathom how people do it.

There are some simple tricks you can try if you're currently maintaining a stable weight. The simplest is to get slightly smaller plates. Your brain will naturally try to visually match what your old portions looked like on the old plates, but now the plates are smaller so you're eating a bit less.

No other change in behaviour is needed to see some benefits, but of course going for a half hour walk after dinner and shifting more of the food you put on that plate towards greens also helps.
It's easier to find people who had some exposure to C++, but that does not make it easier to find good C++ programmers.

if expressing any less-than-positive opinions about pharmaceutical corporations is enough for you to make an immediate learned mental association with a popular dismissive political buzzword label, then I suggest asking yourself why exactly this is the first thing that came to mind, and what that might mean from a marketing perspective.

I was prescribed 20mg daily of time-release amphetamines when I was 13, and that was 18 years ago. I have consumed somewhere in the range of 1300 grams of amphetamines in this time period. I have a dependency on it and I hate it. whose idea was it to give a 13-year-old amphetamines just because he spent too much time thinking about computers instead of focusing on middle school classwork. and a good mix of various antidepressants, none of which worked and all of which had unpleasant side effects.

the medical system in this country, which its pharmaceutical corporations are fully complicit in, is far from pure and righteous and unquestionably benevolent. if marketing (or propaganda, depending on how you want to look at it) has conditioned you to believe otherwise, then I don't know what else I can tell you.
You go with it then, but personally I wouldn't even let this person anaesthesize me.

> This article is a bit too hand-wavy for my taste.

From the article: "I think this is the sort of debate that makes good podcast fodder". So the article author admits that.

It's hand-wavy on vision. Parts of vision are not "AGI-hard". A key component of self-driving is something that can determine whether a volume of space is empty, occupied, or ambiguous. It's necessary to have something that does not report "empty" for occupied areas, and has a reasonably high accuracy rate on not emitting false reports of "occupied". There are sensor suites which can do that. LIDAR can do that. If you have data from a few viewpoints, you can do that. Musk has tried to turn it into an AGI problem, but that's his problem, not a property of the problem space. (If you look at California DMV autonomous vehicle crash reports, the successful companies have solved "is that area empty", and are now struggling with "what is that other car/pedestrian/bicycle going to do?")

What's inherently hard is always a good question. Aristotle thought that the human ability to do arithmetic was a key indicator of intelligence. Now we know just how few gates it takes to do arithmetic. A big surprise, and shock to many, has been the discovery that punditry, and what passes for intellectualism in some quarters, can be done by a really good autocomplete with a big training set. This says more about human discourse than it does about AI.

As I've pointed out before, we're still nowhere on "common sense", defined as not screwing up in the next 30 seconds. This is a big problem now that there are systems able to produce huge volumes of plausible blithering that's factually wrong.

I believe AI is plural here and relates to general existing population.

It’s not like asking if Stable Diffusion or ChatGPT can do it. Maybe there is specialized commercial AI that aren’t so widely known.

There exist right now people with low levels of physical and mental capabilities that current state of AI knowledge surpasses it by miles. We don’t go around saying “AI is better than humans”, even though - technically - it can be in some selected cases.

Ha, yes. AGI-Hard also needs to be contrasted against Human-Hard, which is done in most of the article, but equally we probably get to a place of saying "Hard things are Hard".

Another example is that the article says "It would be hard for an AI to compose this image as it has lots of different elements/emotions" - but see the Chat-GPT example below:

> Me: Can you generate a prompt for an AI to generate an interesting image?

> GPT3: Sure! Here is a prompt for an AI to generate an interesting image: "Create a surreal scene featuring a giant, humanoid robot standing on a desolate, alien planet, with a small group of humans huddled fearfully at its feet. The robot should have a sleek, futuristic design, and its glowing red eyes should convey a sense of intelligence and power. In the background, there should be a faint hint of a cityscape, suggesting that the robot has traveled far from its home world. Use bold colors and contrasting lighting to create a sense of drama and tension in the scene.

I can then pipe this into Dall-E 2.

Sure, it's not GPT3 drawing the image, and Dall-E 2 might struggle to draw that, but most humans would struggle to draw that too as drawing is hard. Hard things are sometimes hard.
