>but actually the average person doesn't want technology to vocally support neo-nazis?

By papering over these flaws in AI without actually fixing them, it communicates to the average person that the technology built is more sophisticated than just parroting whatever nazi propaganda it picked up online.

I think that's fundamentally dishonest.

The level of distrust in AI that the average person *should* have is the same level of distrust they'd have if it also randomly supports neo-nazis.

What I’ve found is that some developers seem to thrive in chaos, whereas others expect things to make clear and logical sense. I’m one of the latter, and maybe you are too.

I’ve found that messy or illogical code slows me down more than other developers. On the upside though, I typically write cleaner code than other developers, because that’s the only type of code that I’m comfortable with.

Just accept that not everything is going to fit well with how your brain works and try to get through it.

I recommend taking detailed notes on everything you find and trying to map out on paper the call tree and different classes involved. This can help greatly when dealing with messy code.
I wish more programmers knew about this!

I keep a lot of journals. Bullet journals for my daily tasks/planning. Long form journals for deep subject matter: maths, graphics, algorithms, etc. Combined with my writing it's definitely been a useful way to see how I've evolved my thinking over time, etc.

Keep at it!

This economy exists, but I think it's still arguable whether the people you're talking about are "earning" a living wage.

Setting aside the measurement problem, consider 2 households:

- household A takes in (1+C)X dollars of W2 income, keeps X after taxes, and steals Y = CX/(1-C) to get to the "living wage" level of income.

- household B makes X + Y in off-the-books cash, and thus doesn't pay C(X+Y) in taxes.

Both have the same take-home pay. Household A steals the same amount household B saves from tax fraud/evasion. We wouldn't say that household A "earned" their living wage, even if we could measure it. If Y of their income is ill-gotten, it isn't "earned". Neither should we say that the household B is "earning" their take-home pay amount. Meanwhile, they're benefiting from a government which is subsidized by their more law-abiding neighbors. Said otherwise, for the same level of state + city per-capita spending, their neighbors could have a lower tax rate if the illegal economy were smaller.

We casually like to think that not paying taxes is victimless, but this is an illusion; the victims are literally everyone who is paying taxes.

> Cute names are a nightmare when a company has accumulated hundreds of quirkily named things that you have to memorize

Now imagine trying to navigate hundreds of things that are descriptively named wrong. The argument isn't between (A) cutesy names, and (B) accurate descriptive names. B is obviously better. But that's a fantasy world that doesn't exist. The argument is between A and (C) descriptive names that rot over time (quickly or slowly), which is actual reality.
A good example of why web servers should be measured in seconds per request rather than requests per second. As you trim little tiny bits off the seconds per request, the requests per second go skyrocketing off to infinity, but unless you're doing zero work per request, that's a dubiously useful metric.

1,000,000 requests per second on what I think is an 8-core system (?) is 1/1,000,000 * 8 = 8us per request. 1,250,000 requests per second would be 6.4 us per request. Is this really your make or break issue? There's a set of people who can say "yes" to that. There's a set of people who think it is yes. The latter is much larger than the former.

(Although arguably the ones worst off are the ones for whom it is their make-or-break issue, but they don't realize it....)
>Walmart earns $13k of profit across each of their 2m employees.

Your numbers are off. Walmart's pretax income was ~$19B, so that's ~$8k profit per employee.

>One could make the argument that if Walmart had to pay each employee an extra (say) $3k annually

If they were pressured to increase wages, they would adjust their business model to employ fewer, "more productive" employees (e.g. invest more in automation). The government would still have to subsidize the cost of living of those who would have otherwise been unemployed.
Right, but my point is that if you go to each one and rip out their teeth without anesthesia, you are going to be torturing at least a few innocent people. Even if only 5% of the 180 aren’t fraudsters, I’d feel bad about torturing 9 innocent people.
Perhaps, but still tough to make the business plan work for a $100k wage bill.

Take "fulfilled by Amazon". Most of the time they ship by USS brown truck and the package arrives at my door. But, sometimes they use SurePost. My point is that I don't know which ahead of time. It's unpredictable.

Or, take some coffee roasters. I suspect they are going to use SurePost, so I give my address as my PO Box. Their system rejects PO Boxes. So, I use my street address. The package gets transferred to USPS and ends up at a post office in the wrong town, since I don't have a mailbox at my residence.

The USPS won't let me create a mail forwarding address in my residence town, since "I don't have a mail delivery address there", Catch-22. In addition, SurePost claims to accept PO Box addresses, but the vendor's software doesn't know that.

And, I don't have a way to tell the SurePost system what my postal address is. Same deal with the Fedex equivalent.

I remember back in, probably the late 1990s or early 2000s, when my org was scrambling to copy analog media to "immortal" digital CD-Rs.

20 years later, they went into some of the archives to discover that most of the CD-Rs were unreadable. The material had degraded severely enough that the material had observable pits (holes) in them.

Plan accordingly. Digital copies require it, too.

New York City is composed of five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Each borough is coextensive with a respective county of New York State.

That calculation is for a single person with a child. When rent is ~$2500 bare minimum for a place that can fit 2 people (and that would be a shitty, shitty apartment), you can see how pretty damn quickly $80k / yr doesn't cut it.

I've lived comfortably in Manhattan for well under $80k (as low as $60k) but I didn't have a child, and that was several years ago when rents were lower.
I agree that this makes sense for boxes.

> we named them Athena, Zeus, etc

The bonus of this kind of theming is that if someone mentions a Greek god you know they probably mean a box.

One reason this makes more sense for boxes, is that a box will have features and responsibilities taken away more than a program or service will.

If a service is named according to what it originally did, even though it took on additional responsibilities, that's fine.
What better term would you propose? I've seen "decent wage", "honest wage", and "fair wage", but they all have similar issues. I'm not sure there's any term that wouldn't become emotionally charged when used for the phenomenon of "some people are paid a lot less than I think they ought to be".
I worked several years in the food service industry in large, indstrial kitchens. Ever since I have been puzzled as to why fume hoods over cook stoves are woefully inadequate. Undersized, under powered, inadequately vented if vented at all.

Even if your stove is burning cleanly it is a luxury to be able to cook on high heat without filling the entire room with smoke.

Not to mention I'd suspect the fumes from the burning oil are probably worse than your clean[ish] burning LNG/propane stove.
I don't see how the JVM is a "poor fit for games" when it's entirely contextual towards the goals of the game itself. Garbage collection also does not automatically disqualify an environment from games development, and there are plenty of games made in garbage-collected languages out there by both hobbyists and professionals using frameworks like LibGDX and Monogame/FNA/XNA. Depending on the kind of game, sure, the JVM might not be the right choice (or a choice at all), but for most people they likely will be too busy trying to actually finish the game instead of tuning for performance.

tcpdump and co do happen occasionally, but less than I had expected. This isn't a small installation. We support around 30M active users and routinely push 20k qps in web traffic. We run on a few thousand vCPUs in EC2.

It's a pretty big architectural philosophy shift. All our production workload runs on spot instances, unhealthy hosts come and go quickly enough and our traffic rebalances fast enough that we just don't spend that much time debugging low-level issues. Core dumps get shipped to S3. We do continuous profiling with Google Cloud Profiler. There's a lot of tooling required but once that investment is made things run very well.
I would also suggest getting tested for vitamin B12 levels. I began taking B12 injections to compensate for a very low level and it has been a night and day improvement in my energy levels and ability to focus.

Here we go again "it's early day", "it's like how the internet was born"
The flip side of that is people who can keep everything in their head often write code which reflects exactly that, and that code is very hard for others to scrutinize.

I try to lean into just such a silver lining. I like to write my code for worst-case future-me: what would it take for my sleep-deprived, Monday morning, uncaffeinated brain to make sense of? It definitely helps, especially even considering that approach, I often find I overestimate my future ability to understand past code.

It's interesting how much more variable "fuel" costs are for EVs than for ICE vehicles. In Georgia, you can get residential EV charging for as low as 1.5¢ per kwh overnight. I've heard some areas you can get it for free overnight. But not every power company offers EV rates, and residential rates over 25¢ per kwh aren't uncommon in some parts of the country. Then there's retail charging which can be over 40¢ per kwh. That's quite a spread compared to gasoline, which appears to currently range from about $2.40/gallon to $4.50/gallon. Even when accounting for taxes and meter fees on residential EV charging, the cost spread for charging is still much larger than that of gasoline.
As someone pushing 40 myself it feels like my hacker chops go up and down almost directly with my diet and exercise.
And they usually looks and works like a Borg tentacles and assimilated production hardware, despite the "emulator" nomenclature, apparently by tradition from very early days of microprocessors when ICEs actually were alternate implementations for chips it emulates
I'm not advocating for a world where we don't have to work, more for a world where we only work on stuff that produces value.

I wouldn't worry about that work not existing. At the very least, with the population declining we'll need people to take care of the elderly and I don't think we're anywhere close to automating health care providers. Humans always seem to find more work to do.

Typical good advice is to do some simple barbell compound lifts like Rippetoe’s Starting Strength. Deadlift, squat, pull-ups, hard to go wrong with that base.

Make sure you ramp load gradually if you have lifted in the past, your muscle memory can return faster than your connective tissue strength leading to injury risk if you stack the weight aggressively.

Because the technology doesn't "vocally support neonazis". It vocally supports whatever you tell it to vocally support. It'll vocally denounce whatever you tell it to vocally denounce.

Been feeling this though I'm not 40 yet, fairly close though. What's helped is exercise, eating well rounded meals, getting good sleep, and knocking out health issues that I was either aware or not aware of by getting regular checkups.

Good questions!

> Can you do this within copyright laws? (i.e. is it enforceable?) How are you sure?

I can do it under copyright because I was very careful to only do what has been tested with the GPL in court.

When the GPL was tested in court, at last once or twice the infringers tried to argue that the GPL didn't apply to machine code because machine code was substantially different from the copyrighted form (source code).

Courts have rejected this, saying that a different form is not substantially different.

My licenses basically encode that specifically, by saying that running any algorithm on the software that also produces software does not make the output of the algorithm substantially different from the input, even if the input is only partially the software under the license.

> (another question: how is your license both permissive and viral?)

Copy and paste error. (Since the licenses have many of the same things, I copied and pasted a lot.) I'll fix it next time I'm at my desktop machine.
I felt that way when I was on welbutrin for depression. The fog likely started creeping in sooner, but I didn't notice it for over a year. As soon as I got off, the fog started to lift. Just something to consider if you take any medications.
True, but I bet an employer or two would love to ask the question of AI: Tell me how many or which of my employees are looking for jobs and where are they in their pursuits? Based on the response, tell it to impede the progress of certain seekers. MS will have this power and already does to some degree.
> "60% of new yorkers are not earning a living wage" is inaccurate

Sure, but "60% of New Yorkers break the law to make a living wage" isn't any less scathing. Either way, the situation looks pretty bleak. At this point, I can't see a future where NYC doesn't become the next Detroit.
The "Living Wage" is significantly above the poverty level wage. If you follow the link in TFA to the source, it shows both.

It’s the concept of thinking fast and slow. ChatGPT can write text that seems right at first glance but isn’t. That’s similar to the failure mode of a person. But if you ask it to reason slowly and show its work that’s where it falls apart. Most people are capable of slow cognition too.

>The racial and ethnic slant is also hard to miss. If the NYC underground economy is indeed the only thing keeping minorities afloat, that means the economy is dependent on exploiting minority communities (keeping them working in illegal ventures, preventing upward mobility).
